To be fair, you need _significantly_ less[0] uranium compared with the amount of coal you mine. For every million mountains destroyed by coal mining, you'd only have to destroy a couple of mountains. Not to mention I don't think

Why on Earth could they possibly feel it necessary to do this? The United States Patent Office doesn't have a complex system of sub-domains or even an EV license, if money were the object then they could just go with Let's Encryp

It is Friday? Roughly 4PM on Friday, which means they'll likely be closing down shortly. Seems odd for them to do it as such a last minute thing.

You can source Li-ion/Li-Poly fairly easily (as a company, almost impossible as an individual) with 250 Wh/kg, I believe I read somewhere that Tesla hit about 260/270 with their latest power walls. Even so, I still have to d

It's the first point they mention on the landing page: - 300 km range - Travel from London to Paris in one hour.

Imperial (A UK University) are currently making large leaps forward in terms of modelling a room or environment with just a single camera and little computing power. Their basic methodology was: - Pick "unique" points currently i

I'm sorry, what's CEF? I haven't come across that acronym before.

I swear Electron is incredibly fast in every instance I've used it. Unless you're doing heavy computation with complex algorithms, it's really nice. I don't believe VS Code has to do any computationally expensive compu

Considering how we're doing now? Yeah, I'm pretty cool with how they handled things.

Would you perhaps consider working together instead of on two separate projects? Half the workload for both of us to get the same final product!

This site is actually really awesome, and has worked for every website I've tried! My only slight issue with it however is it took me a few minutes to actually work out what "HTML codes" were and even then it was only from w

Pretty sure most applications don't need to support RFC 2177 to still be efficient. Long-polling for most IMAP servers requires one packet every nine minutes (to the best of my knowledge), which is literally nothing. It would take mo

Honoured to have your first post Benjie. It is open-source and made in Electron, but I'm not sure it's upto much at the moment. I've mostly been working on getting IMAP and SMTP setup as opposed to any graphical work. If yo

Must admit I am somewhat jaded with current mail applications and actually creating my own. Sylpheed is wonderful and the one I currently use, it's fast and works. My problem is with the GUI. Every single linked email client in this

I'd honestly disagree. Start small, don't expect to build something that works for 100k users and you'll be fine! Take the bare bones of this project: - Canvas. - Websockets. That's literally it. You'll need to kn

Excellent work actually completing the challenge set! If you were to do it again, would you still use the same technology used here? Kafka especially seemed to cause you a few issues.

There's also no ability to uninstall Edge, the current way of doing it appears to be to delete all of the binaries in a specific folder.

Calm down, personal insults aren't necessary. I have to admit I've had the same experience, don't know my phone number and don't carry it with me for the majority of the time and I've needed it twice so far. Once

The article ends by saying "By the theorem, Koomey's law has the potential to be valid for about 125 years". One imagines that it could continue long after even this however with further ways of computations being discovered

Even if you don't use the language specifically, the ideas it provides on creating queries applies to pretty much every database I've used, with the one exception being Redis. It also doesn't hurt it's the most popular l

This. People forget that they're _actively_ appearing to break it by using this UA detection. No company should _ever_ use user-agents for feature detection, because user agents themselves are screwy in so many ways [0]. Honestly, I

100MB? Assuming they're using GZIP, that's normally a 10% compression ratio, leading to about 1GB of actual data. Let's assume this data is stored as 8 bits, that's about one hundred million characters of code! Maybe

I'm actually more of a fan of https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html - it gives you a whole lot more information (although does take longer).

I generally see prices of 2 cents per gigabyte per month for active storage, even less, most under half a cent per gigabyte per month for long-term archival. Assuming there were willing to fork out 10 dollars a month, they would be able to

This would be pretty amazing, to have a shared base. Considering the amount of Electron apps that I've now installed I must have at least a couple of gigabytes dedicated to just hundreds of copies of Chromium.

Youtube automatic captions aren't actually that bad last time I checked. They updated their algorithm recently (read: last couple of years) and on non-technical phrases it probably has about 95%+ accuracy with good audio quality.
