Wow really? I never knew that. Who thought it would be a good idea to have the Explorer search NOT do filename search by default?

I can't remember the last time I used Windows search because it's worse than useless - there have been multiple occasions in the past where it can't even find a file in the current folder right in front of my eyes. Nowadays I

I wonder how good the lossy quality and size is compared to JPEG Mini.

That Powershell script seems to show the current status only, and not have any option to turn the protections on/off?

Say what you want about EventBus but at least it's simple, non-intrusive and straightforward. You annotate your listener method, register your listener, post an event and boom done. In contrast I've heard war stories about RxJava,

TOTP has always been a second password (heck, it's in the name). If you know the secret and the algorithm you can do the maths yourself in theory without needing any hardware, so in theory it can always be considered "something yo

When people talk about Python being slow, it's generally about the CPU-intensive tasks. Image processing, data file parsing and transformation, those kind of things. Sure you can use C library bindings for those but that's kinda c

> But since you own the code, you own 100% of the source in your GUI application, why would you need indirection? So what is your proposed non-indirection way? I'm assuming you meant the traditional listener/observable way of r

Ah ok I guess my confusion is from the fact that there's no explicit "string" being passed around with this library, but the concept of a payload makes sense.

Maybe I'm dumb but I've read your comments a few times over and I still haven't quite understand what you were trying to say. "Calling methods via strings where you control all the source code to your own application &qu

This is kinda like the argument between an authoritative government and a democratic one, the former works great until it doesn't. When it works, the former is more efficient and can get things done much more quickly but when things go

It used to work great but over time more and more threads are broken and cannot be viewed in old reddit, for example the poll threads, or the prediction threads, or threads with inline images mixed with texts.

It's the worst. It only shows a few comments so 99% of the time you would need to load the normal page anyway. It also messes with the way Google indexes the date of the page, so the date of the page according to Google is almost alway

> Does Authy actually offer 2FA I'm not sure what you meant by this, Authy certainly provides TOTP, and the encryption password is only used when you need to sync the 2FA secret to other devices, which by the way also requires confi

If the if/else is simple the compiler should be able to optimize that anyway.

+1 for Authy. Just get a used cheap Android phone for like $30 and use it as the backup device for Authy and never fear about losing your 2FA device again.

I can't find that option, do you know where it is?

Can you share your style? This is what I use on Windows #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; } #titlebar { visibility: collapse; } and the result: https://i.imgur.com/0DxPCvE.png

by ncann 5y ago
I can hide the whole tab bar when using TST, but doing so will also hide the window buttons (minimize/maximize/close), which is annoying.

by ncann 5y ago
Same, I definitely don't like the new tabs with no border around them.

Short of outright banning Chinese products like the US did with Huawei I don't see how you can compete with the Chinese when they make things faster, cheaper, and with minimal quality loss. The last point about quality is even debatabl

Mostly, though there are quite a few differences. xfinity doesn't charge the network owner, and you need to pay and have an account to use it. It also doesn't have a restriction on speed or bandwidth.

Yeah that one is blocked as well.

I watch ARTE often and I wonder why this specific video is blocked here (Canada). Do they fear that they may face repercussion from the government or some other entities?

I understand their grief with AWS but this is incredibly childish, short sighted and petty. What a way to burn your supporters' goodwill.

Certain topics like politics or war or religion or LGBT will always tend to produce flame wars and "toxic wasteland" no matter which platform. The technical threads are usually a lot better.

It still adds 20-30k when building a new house so not exactly a trivial amount.

I think the main problem is Retool is using the faker cloud api directly behind the scene (?) and the generated data is hosted on the faker cloud CDN (?).

The line is very blurry. The only major difference between a console and a smartphone is that a console is intended from the get go to be a gaming device, whereas a smartphone is more of a generic computing device, but even then it's h
