A curious question - why is Objective-C not used very widely outside of Apple ecosystem? I was playing with it for a while even before iPhone was a thing and I kind of liked it, but it's basically only for Apple devices. Nobody on Linu

I don't understand ELO and game ratings, but I find it funny that after about 10 matches, Google AlphaGo is now rated as 2nd strongest player in the world.

"Even we cannot read your e-mails!" Exactly what those guys said 10 years ago, and exactly what Proton is saying now. What is different?

I remember when people used to flick to HushMail as the preferred encrypted e-mail provider. Where are they now?

We can also use "baduk" (the Korean name) for the game :) "Baduk" instead of "go" also makes googling something about the game easier.

I would bet there are more people commenting here on this submission than people who ever used Bitcoin to buy anything in Microsoft Store.

Some people might think that Opera Turbo reduces privacy, since everything goes through a centralized proxy.

PageRank is still visible today?!? Where? (I am just curious, I thought it's not visible anywhere for years)

One common solution to this problem is "close your eyes and pretend it doesn't happen". It's very effective.

LinkedIn was never good. No seriously, I remember reading articles about their shady behaviour from the very beginning. They were never useful for any kind of social interaction and from as far as I remember, their website was terrible.

Nobody is trying to overtake bitcoin. If Bitcoin Core did the sensible thing and started to increase blocks and working towards that goal, no takeover would happen. Quite the opposite, Bitcoin Core is now taken over by developers from Block

OP is complaining, that the authorization is "all or nothing" and that the form looks quite similar to normal ordinary google sign-up window, and that the severity of the action is not proportional to the appearance. I guess. And

I guess MetaFilter kind of misses the point of gopher here, since they just serve HTML document on the gopher server, with <a href> links to normal web. Example: http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher:/&

Interesting. Maybe it's just me being used to wiki syntax for such a long time that it just irritates me to use WYSIWYG.

by runn1ng 11y ago
Huh. I absolutely hated the new "Media Viewer" and the WYSIWYG editor, but I didn't know there is this big drama behind it. (Plus all the Knowledge Engine thing, which I didn't hear about. But neither did more senior edi

Doesn't work on my Android phone, in Chrome. But I didn't expect it to :) Edit: for what it's worth, FreeDOS boots there. No way to put in keyboard input though.

Not really funny, more like fake articles to get pagerank that tries to pass as a satire.

by runn1ng 11y ago
I... am not at all sure if this is some kind of satire, that's trying to prove some kind of point, or not. At first I thought it's Onion-style funny and waited for some kind of "misogynistic" punchline, but it never cam

Mediamass is a terrible website. They flood their site with "X dying is a hoax", so they build high pagerank on that phrase, and when someone actually dies, they are first. So like content farms, only with deaths.

I am not an expert on network security and I have no idea what "out of band network tap" means... If I read it right, the article is saying that in order to have a secure network, you should monitor what is going on in it and dete

The logo of the app looks like a Chinese bank logo. A lot of Chinese - and to a certain point Vietnamese - banks have logos with square inside a circle, since that's how Chinese money used to look like. When Uber updated, I wondered wh

Wow. I can actually play a .mov video in QuickTime player, in Windows 3.11, emulated in Javascript/DOSBOX. And it actually works.

Another anecdote: I have played with their JavaScript API about 2 or 3 years ago and it was constantly broken, with no way to report those bugs. Their support page states "ask on StackOverflow" as it stated back then, which is a t

Firefox might have similar extensions. It does indeed work. However, you might find that some videos don't load as they should. And, for example, gifs on facebook stop after one loop for one reason (since they are not really gifs, but
