   I thought I read somewhere that they cancelled the plans to use lasers and were going to use radio instead. But now I can't find anything about it.

   Isn't Brave the browser that steals peoples branding and sets up fake accounts on their behalf without consent? Edit: Yeah, I found this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18734999

   Anecdotally: I've found that I now reach for documentation first, coworkers second and stack overflow only as a last resort, where as in past years it used to be the first place I looked. I also find myself more often disappointed with

   Its hypocritical when they themselves push politicized agenda, (PRIDE month), through the same channels (Overwatch League) that they say need to stay focused on only the games.

   That would be a pretty big admit of defeat though. Blizzcon for the last 10 years has had real customers asking questions from microphones. I assume they won't do that this year because they would be worried about what people will say,

   I wasn't aware that the fixes for spectre and meltdown had no impact on performance.

   Thats why they should sell cpus that sacrifice security for speed. I'll take a cpu thats vulnerable to spectre/meltdown if its 20% faster.

   I see people driving around constantly with fogged up mirrors or have a broken mirror hanging off the side of their car, or snow packed around every window with only a small area cleared out on the windshield. So I'm not super convince

   There is a fairly exhaustive article on wikipedia listing all the experiments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_research_on_the_Int... And NASA has what the team will work on specifically: https://ww

    Do you think the same will happen in the west if trends like this continue? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19601600

    Isn't the main issue with DNS blocking the same as this "content blocking", i.e. it cant work for things like blocking Twitch's SureStream ads? Interestingly I found this while looking around for the answer: https:&#x2F

    If it really is difficult to make money as a developer I would rather see Valve reduce their absurd 30% cut than use it as an excuse to not allow a secondary market.

    There's an episode of the West Wing that goes into this, "The Short List". One of the characters, Sam Seaborn is questioning a nominee of the supreme court about his position on privacy. It's classic Aaron Sorkin writing

    This seems to be making the code less readable and more like javascript. I much prefer public function getName(): string { return $this->name; } over public getName(): string => $this->name;

    Could this be done as a twitch extension?

    I use the feature, but only because an extension I used before, ClassicThemeRestorer, isn't supported in the new extension ecosystem. The only workaround is to use the css files. I would imagine a large percent of people that used to u

    I've used https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx ever since ClassicThemeRestorer broke when they killed the old extensions. It seems to work fine for me.

    Theres still plenty of wall jumps, you can find videos of people testing all the classic WSG jumps on youtube. The classic wall-walking doesn't work, but that was changed during vanilla so its to be expected.

    I'm sure for some people its rose tinted glasses. But I would think the consistent popularity of private servers over such a long time shows the real non-nostalgia based demand for the game.

    Doesn't the memory layout actually matter for cache locality? So you would still need to be able to have both memory layouts for performance.

    Completely random aside, but the site's scrolling is horrible. Clicking near the edge randomly starts scrolling when the bar isn't visible and I can't middle click and drag to scroll the page at all.
