Something very wrong in the stack there. There should be a delay in the video in order to compensate for the latency sending the audio to your ears (Bluetooth does not add much here but it all adds up) and you should experience no latency.

I bought one and put it on the end of a headphone cable and left it there. I’m not sure what the massive inconvenience is here.

I switch between iPhone and MacBook sometimes. My flow is usually turning off Bluetooth on the iPhone then selecting the AirPods from the MacBook, or similar. It doesn’t feel like much of a pain but it does seem like there could be an easie

I use them with my laptop too. I have had only one ‘pairing seems a bit broken’ issue since buying them as soon as they came out - and an iPhone restart was the fix. That’s about 2.5 minutes of hassle in several thousand hours of use. If th

I don't use a herbicide on my lawn - I didn't realise it was normal to do so What's produced in return is a lawn that you can use - for all the purposes people use lawns. I'm not sure what's so ridiculous about this

I’m not sure who actually buys from their website. I’ve tried to use it in its various incarnations over the years and it’s been terrible every single time. I think perhaps they mainly sell direct to corporates and to retail channels so the

And for those who like to post code snippets in (currently still) esoteric languages like Elixir - and from a nice CMS?

I keep this on my bookmarks bar and dip in often. It reminds me of when, as a child in the UK, I made a crystal radio from a kit and spent late evenings hunting for intesting stations from continental Europe.

I believe the GP's incorrect 'by the letter' use of the term was intended to point out that this kind of avoidance is more like evasion in that it is against the spirit of the law.

You'll feel normal again. It's going to take time and tactics, though. Do plenty of reading on how to deal with stress and you'll find mechanisms. It can take months, yes, but the time to feeling 'normal' again can

In 1997 my Comp Sci undergrad dissertation was on the '3D desktop'. The C++ code I wrote for my demo did software 2D on svgalib on the Linux console (there was some way to get a high res mode, I don't remember what exactly).

The reason I am happy with the 6s is that there's a big difference in speed from the 6 and earlier hardware. It's probably not quite as snappy as newer models, yes, but lag in moving around is something that I can't stand - a

Yes. iPhone 6s is what I’m sticking with until they double the battery life (in real use, not watching a video) or do something else I might actually care about.

I once had to leave to catch a plane and shut down my Windows desktop machine that I wanted to move somewhere first. I think this was as far back as XP days. It started doing updates on shutdown and I was concerned I’d lose data or break so

I don’t run any forums at the moment, but when I did, the software I used gave users massive opportunity to provide information about themselves. Some users loved this and filled in every field, perhaps because they enjoyed that it made soc

Hmm the information isn't the algorithm. It would be excellent if the courts could get them to release this data!

The fingerprint belongs to you. Calling it 'something you are' is conveying this, without claim to it being somehow difficult to clone or entirely unique. Mother's maiden name is similar in this regard.

Thanks. The dictionary I tried didn't seem to have a definition which fit what the article was alluding to, but urbandictionary did!

This is important. But it's still great for people to see that a minimal implementation (for playing with) only takes this much code. It's good when you're learning.

I have a MacBook Pro 2015 and a Magic Trackpad 2 and get phantom inputs on both. Still, I’m an old TrackPoint user and I prefer the Mac trackpads regardless.

These are handled by the vote counting humans. There are rules about what counts as s valid marking of the paper. Anything else gets discarded. I don’t see a problem with this.

I keep being told I must use iTerm2 and I have been. But I haven’t found anything it does that is better than the built in Terminal app. I’m going back to Terminal unless I find some reason to stick with it.
