Do they actually mean 32768 colors?

Very interesting! This is the first I've heard of their new launch vehicle. I'm guessing Spacex et al are trying to build something more economical for Mars missions?

What do you mean when you say the itemization was incorrect? Do you mean that the prices that they list were incorrect, or that the items didn't make sense given the treatment you received? In either case, what reference do you use to

I should probably do the research for myself, but is there a simple explanation for why it's easier to allow importation from Canada than to lower domestic prices in the US?

You don't have to give the app access to your contacts... at least on iOS. That's what I do. It would be impossible to communicate with friends and family otherwise. I just have to put a little more effort into figuring out who&#x

I like this quote from theregister’s take on the story: > "I think this presents the UK government with an interesting dilemma - the HCSEC was set up essentially because of concerns about threats from the Chinese state to UK CNI (cr

Seems like a cool idea... and I'm curious to see if it turns into something as interesting as the Zachtronics games. However, I found it hard (in the first minute or so with the game) to figure out what the objective was. I'm also

They're really cagey about it though: > Portal does not have Facebook ads at this time. Some third-party services on Portal (e.g., music partners) may embed ads in their content in the same way they do when providing their services

Some changes are just bad and will inevitably need to be fixed. e.g. Windows Vista & (IMHO) New Reddit

My biggest issue (that users will find hard to ignore) is the lag. The new UI loads noticeably slower... And I don't feel like it's giving me anything useful to compensate for the lag.

The biggest factor is that each generation of the Pi has gotten a better processor (700Mhz single-core in the original Pi to a 1.4Ghz quad-core in the 3B+). There are also a number of detailed benchmarks out there if you bother to Google it

Those are the min and max values of an int32. Not sure... but wild guess is that something went wrong with input validation.

This is cool! I think it's always useful to see how other people react to the stuff you learn. Do you plan to loop lectures perpetually?

I second that. I deleted my Flickr account after it became apparent that Yahoo was in no way committed to security. I've planning to let go of Instagram too... Tried Unsplash... But found that it didn't have the features that make

Instagram's mobile site gives Reddit a good run for its money. It recently just stopped working for me... Chrome throws a "Too many redirects".

This is cool, and if I had the time I'd want to do something like this for automatically generating a google-photos style site from my Pictures directory. Also, if you're looking for a stable Python-based static site generator...

What happened to the center 1st stage though?

Same here. I'm not American, or working in the Aerospace industry... but watching Musk has had a spurring effect for me. He's a constant reminder that the impossible is possible and that you should keep trying even if it turns out

Instagram is headed in the same way. The main feed used to be a simple linear progression of pleasing photos from only the people you chose to follow. Now they have all sorts of things cluttering the feed besides just Ads... Recommended P

I have to agree that the questions could have been better. For instance, they asked "Does this interface look trustworthy". What does that even mean? I believe it's trustworthy because it's open source and backed by Mozi

Sounds awesome! I'm pretty happy with Thunderbird as is, but a modern interface potentially means more users... and hopefully as a result, a longer life. Here's a quick link to the survey: https://thunderbird-design.typ

OVH also offers a pretty good deal for its VPSs. I've been using their 2GB VPS SSD 1 for a little over two years now and haven't had anything to complain about.

Thanks! It reports the same thing for me too now. I had to enable Top document isolation (chrome://flags/#enable-top-document-isolation) as well.

Nice tool. Sadly, it reports that my browser (Chromium 63.0.3239.132 with strict site isolation (chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process) enabled) is vulnerable to Spectre. Do you know if there are any other steps that I can

While I think the story's title could be more mature, I think that the outrage in the article is justified. Intel didn't notify any of the BSD teams of the vulnerability during and after the embargo period, leaving anyone running

Interesting observation. One thing that people who are fans of donor-funded BI don't realize is that there are reasons for the minimal standards of living required to sustain a $22 a month budget. a) Donor funding causes poorer members

What DE do you use? Back when I used Unity in Ubuntu I found their search widget really hard to use. It was laggy and mixed in results from the web, their 'appstore', and my files. Now I use dmenu in i3wm and I couldn't be ha

I second you! I think that Keybase holds a lot more potential than most of the Blockchain unicorns floating around... I'd be happy to pay for kbfs to gain some assurance that I won't lose everything because the company went under
