Well, except you know... every pedestrian (and possibly driver) in his neighborhood. I'm being half serious - this seems harmless enough, but where do you draw the line? I'm all for the fun of reverse engineering but maybe keep th

I could believe that if the channel had a history of that kind of footage. But I just skipped around a few past videos (actually most of the channel content is not about flying) and couldn't see one. I'll let FAA assign blame, but

Yes that is fine. I'll donate to them again. But can it please be without the annoying banners, "we need to talk" or similar email subjects and so on? I'm sure it helps convince some people, but doesn't it discourag

Off-topic but the archive.org page is unusable for me on mobile due to the donation banner: the close button is obscured by the timeline and can't be clicked, "maybe later" replaces it with a different banner asking for conta

So are the mp3 files not the same as what the author uploaded? I could imagine weird organization for tracks from the service but for self-uploaded data I would be surprised if they didn't just give them back the same. The article neve

How would that work here? "Load" is players finishing games and requiring new match pairings / rating updates for the tournament to continue. You can tell them to wait, sure. But as long as the rate of games finishing exceeds

Really cool stuff there, this can satisfy my rabbit hole needs for the next month :) BTW, slightly better UX here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1465268154733637633.html

Depends on what they log, could be controllable by the code you open in xcode. For example if you clone and open (not necessarily even run) a malicious github repo. VS code asks you if you trust the code you are opening for example and if n

Several days after RCE disclosure and the best they can do is forum reply "yes we know, no ETA for a fix"? No security advisory, no immediate workaround suggested?

They didn't drop it but a clamp released unexpectedly during some operation and it caused vibrations in the telescope. At that time they didn't have sensors attached that would be able to confirm if the vibration was within specif

Could you please share a screenshot of that warning? I'm unable to reproduce it. I don't have access to Edge, maybe it only happens there? I'm just curious to see what it says.

While I agree with the sentiment of creating accessible content I think if you make the problems so easy 80% can solve them, what fraction will have fun doing so? Wouldn't say 50% find them trivial and boring/unsatisfying? I think

Well that is one way to get 30% YoY company growth... I wonder how many new domains got registered and what the total revenue diff is. Actually, could it be that the .io hype went down and this is their attempt at compensating?

Supporting every hardware under the sun is as simple as dumping an mp4/avi/... file. The reason they don't support high resolution is just DRM. They will happily deliver 4k video to your underpowered Windows machine which wil

This would make sense for a live stream. But we are talking Netflix movies here. If my network can maintain more bandwidth than needed for 1080p/4k most of the time (which it can) then there is no reason it should ever fall back to low

They also refuse to buffer properly. Tiny latency spike or brief packet loss? Enjoy 480p video for the next minute or so because it downgraded automatically and there is no way to force it back.

I've given up on offline Netflix access after the third time the content I downloaded before a plane/train/... trip refused to play once I left wifi. It always said it expired due to changed region or something silly. Now I j

Right, and they don't even confirm who might have seen that list, except that "the data on this service is consumed by third-parties who may have replicated the data elsewhere". So basically consider all private package names

Yeah - on one hand you would need to use this "quickly" to help with IPv4 exhaustion before it becomes irrelevant. On the other hand (as you said) trying this too quickly will just mean poor routability. From the draft: The In

Oof, remember all the complaints about broken things when ".dev" became a valid TLD? And that was never specified as something you could rely on. Use of 127/8 goes back at least 27 years to RFC1700 [1], maybe earlier. Just le

Why? That's not part of the ad contract. They will get refunded for GCP if it goes out of SLO.

Internal Google infra and GCP are different beasts. Sure some failure modes take both down but more likely than not they are independent.

Probably "The Beauty of Bézier Curves" [1], one of the choices by 3B1B, comes closest. It is already a relatively large channel although usually focused on game dev tutorials rather than math explanations. This video bridges those
