It's around 1.5 seconds here on an i7-6600U (whether I launch it in its own window or in a cmd window). I'd rather it was 1/10th of that as a maximum, but it's worth the wait!

I'd love to buy a tricycle version for a relative who would like a kind of motability aid but wouldn't like to have one of the typical electric scooters. Anyone have any experience with them? The ones I've seen seem to requir

W10 lets you flag a wifi network as metered so that it knows not to transfer as much over it. Seems OS X could do with the same- or is there perhaps some non-obvious setting already perhaps?

And your twenty year old self may not trust your opinions as a 37 year old. Is either 'right'? Does having more experience make you better at making decisions or does it make you more conservative, meaning you are less likely to t

I am a developer(-ish) who used a Macbook for a while because Windows used to be awful and 'PC' laptops used to be dreadful. Thanks must go to Apple for taking the lead and showing how laptops could be really good. - They work har

There's plenty of spontaneity, randomness and street-level interaction occurring in the cities of the UK. I see this every day. I don't think CCTV is stopping this.

I was recently reading my daughter a story after being woken up too early and 'half asleep'. I kept noticing that I had invented a line of text or two, and knew that I had done this because part of my brain wasn't awake enoug

Would be interesting to know if this works, but if the use case is watching films on laptop on plane, rather than tablet on plane, I hope you have a power source.

Absolutely. It's a (possible) optimisation that is either based on evidence (seems likely, because DJB) or hope. Actual behaviour is impossible to predict on untested platforms. My assumption is that DJB tested this locally and found e

It's interesting to read the sources[1] of lots of djb's[2] code, as he often works around problems with (or perhaps dislikes the style of) standard libraries by re-implementing parts. [1] https://github.com/abh&#x

On a 'living room' PC: I bought a Thinkpad T430s for £150. It's connected to the TV, the amp, and syncs various file storage services to itself then backs them up to various locations with Crashplan. The best thing about it?

On the mobile app I was using, there was no such thing, sorry. I am sorry, too, as I got downvoted for trying to make up for it by replying.

A common interview question for penetration testers is how you might design password storage to allow this 'feature' without having to store the plaintext password. It's possible, I guarantee it.

No-one here says 'Electric Torch' (especially not with Caps). They say 'torch' and, as far as I'm aware, 'flashlight' is a perfectly valid term for what this article refers to, so perhaps the GP is being h

I used to have a home static IP address and run OpenBSD. I used mail whitelisting because otherwise spam was a pain. It was still a pain, though, because I'd have to work out where I might get mail from to pre-whitelist it. So I went f
