At least for me there's been plenty of times where I just want to m I nify a single image, and potentially on a machine I don't have all my dev tools on. Also I think this is project is a good side project, regardless if it's

Oh thanks! Especially since the article says room temperature. I know a lot of people on HN are interested in superconductors but don't necessarily use K frequently if ever.

Huawei isn't part of the Five Eyes (or the extensions of it), so any data they collect of Five Eye nations is a threat. Data Five Eye nations collect on each other or themselves isn't a threat because they're allies, often us

66.0.5 on my mac did show the EV cert indicator. Not sure if that would have been part of the .4 -> .5 release or if it's because of the os?

I'm seeing the EV indicator with Chrome 74.0.3729.169 on Mac OSX Mojave 10.14 (18A391) Edit: I also see the EV cert on Firefox 66.0.5 and 67. I can't really tell if safari has an EV indicator or not? I really don't use it muc

It depends on what you're trying to do. A language without strong types might make tooling more difficult, not catch certain errors at compile time, make refactoring harder, and make working in teams harder. Or it might have little imp

I mostly use light mode, usually I can't get it bright enough during the day! I will say my personal "Dev" computer uses dark modes though, I find at night with multiple monitors it's just too bright.

I'm not religious, but I certainly think there's value in large groups of people with similar interests meeting in a positive environment.

This is the case with many other online platforms (such as reddit) in that the original content of a post is still reachable if it was deleted, so a common method is to "scrub" edit your posts then delete them. However at Facebook

I'm just glad the name is clear about what version it is! Hated the "New iPad Air" and "New 3DS". Like, how am I supposed to communicate that to people? People don't know what is "new" and what isn&#x

We at minimum need a user friendly way to change anything first. More options are great, but currently we have none, and if it requires root access it'd be useless to most "regular" consumers.

Valve's wikis are surprisingly detailed yet very well explained, albeit a few years old, the concepts haven't changed. I highly recommend their wiki as a resource for those interesting in game engines and game networking!

If you flew low at night I think you'd have a decent chance of getting a drone to the right location. You'll need either a decent setup or a decent position to control it though. Although as others have mentioned, if you're t

Just a basic bomb threat can shutdown operations at most places. Not sure about an airport, but just making the threat can cause disruption pretty darn easily.

Is it common that companies share intelligence like this? I think it's a wonderful idea, given they all operate on essentially the same service (git) they share similar security concerns.

That would make sense, my understanding is that with a 100% pegged CPU hyperthreading won't be super beneficial as they aren't real cores, just smarter scheduling. You can't really schedule 100% load better, however for appli

Not arguing just asking, but how has Pandora's box been opened with the discloser of Spectre and Meltdown? We've had security researchers discovering and reporting vulnerabilities since there were computers as far as I know? I do

None, iPhones already can read (but not write due to lack of apple providing an API for it) NFC tags. This announcement is that Apple Pay will support it as well.

by penagwin 7y ago
My best guess is that you'll have to pay and register with Apple to create NFC tags which will be attached to the payment. Essentially as soon as somebody reports you to Apple your account will be burned. Of course, it's up to App

The Netflix DRM stuff has been mostly solved at this point. Most of the modern distros + chrome will work just fine.

I have to agree. With the amount of money involved internationally with HK I highly doubt Paypal would just decide to shut down an account because of that. If that was the really the case there would have been a LOT of other accounts shutdo

To be fair, "Warranty Void if Removed" stickers are common but in many cases have no legal standing both in the US, EU, etc. They're just a common "boilerplate" kinda item.

I have no clue what your project is, but a lot of us like the ESP8266/ESP32 which are ~2$ and ~5 per module, or around double with their dev kits. Get's you lots of GPIO + wifi.
747.
by penagwin 7y ago
And the ESP8266. Not as fancy but it's half the price. I love both the ESP8266 and the ESP32 a ton. They really made wifi projects "cheap" for entry-hobbyists instead of some 70USD wifi shield.

One of the most common outputs is relays, thankfully those are pretty cheap. Displays are getting close your price which is great. Depending on what you're doing you may want to consider purchasing something like a kindle fire for 50$

Yeah from what I've seen you can desolder the status LED to lower the current even more. With the ESP32's you can use the lower power processor as well. I want to automate my blinds, which is kinda annoying as that means ~6 differ

I'm curious, is this a common problem? At least here in Michigan, our electric company essentially replaced all meters with smart meters for free, unless you choose to opt-out. Power-measuring outlets do exist, Belkin has one under the
