   So will this be affecting most Macbook Pros of the past few years? If so, there's a way to disable hyper-threading, but you need Xcode (Instruments). Open Instruments. Go to Preferences. Choose 'CPU'. Uncheck "Hardware M

   Nice. I probably mostly use Numi for unit conversions, but asked for in a 'human' way. eg "68 square meters in square feet"

   Nice. This is a lot like (in looks and some functionality) the macOs app, 'Numi' (which I love) : https://numi.io/

   The current rise of "bots" that I'm seeing being developed of late seems to forget one really crucial thing about humans, especially in a time of need: We need to talk to another human. It started with "choose your optio

   Yes. I'd say this points more to an issue with how the product name was stored in a database, rather than the printer itself. Bad collation.

   I've been using Titanium for years now. Since the very early days. It's certainly had its fair share of painful upgrades, but I've learned a lot of Java and Objective-C in the process as I've built a few cross-platform n

   Oh yes indeed. ;) I suppose I'm happy to boot up a machine and go and make a coffee while it goes about its business. But when shutting down a PC, people are usually trying to leave it. (OK. Or reboot it) ;) [Ex daily Windows user for

   I wish they didn't push updates as I'm trying to shut the PC down. That has to be the most irritating time to do that.

    Argh! I'm sorry. I just realised I typed 'Mattermost' rather than 'Mastodon'! I meant: "Mastodon is to Twitter as TotalJS is to Slack". :)

    Pretty tasteless array name in there: `for hoe in hoes:` which exposes the base mentality of the coder.

    Oh the spam. Back in about 2003 I built a site that let people doodle a small square canvas and add it to thousands of others. It didn't take long for it to be riddled with dick-picks, stars and swastikas. I had a mighty banhammer. B

    Are there any open-source projects out there which can do this? The resulting 10 minute time-lapse video is an absolute thing of beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCAsY8kjE3w I once ran a site years ago where people c

    I wonder if it broadcasts it? I can see why it being an AP (or Ad-Hoc) might be useful though in some cases. ie: places with no wifi router. (where you might be feeling a bit frisky.) The mind boggles.

    Ask them to build a big house of cards. Then burst into the room wearing a big flowing cape just before they finish the top layer.

    So when they discover that he wrote and sent actual letters, will they then demand access to open our mail? Also: Will breaking encryption stop a man grabbing a knife and jumping into his car? No.

    This happened recently with all my free StartSSL / Startcom certificates. I switched to LetsEncrypt. Also noticing Google and Mozilla's sponsorship.

    I think one of the underlying reasons for creating an app which people show and contort their faces to, is to help train facial recognition systems. Sure, easy to do with lots of photos. But when you've got the model in front of your c

    I've been using Titanium for years. Still do. It can be frustrating at times yes, but through using it so long, I've now learned enough Objective-C and Java to fix things or build modules to add functionality. Not enough to build

    Matt's Script Archive is where it all began for me. All those years ago a company paid me £15k to build them a website which they could update themselves. So I turned WWWBoard into a kind of blog/publishing system for them and t

    If they're supporting Safari, then no, not without something additional.
