The "more details here" link is broken, if the maintainer is reading.

Where they really trying to keep it hush hush though? My question is whether this actually differed from general policy and procedures. Maybe there is an argument that more far-reaching agreements should be subject to greater scrutiny, but

Exactly. Was there actually anything different at all about TTIP negotiations (vs other EU negotiations) until the leaks? I was under the impression that most or all similar documents were only made available at a mature stage (eg after fir

One of the more convoluted announcements I've seen. I have to be aware that yahoo officially communicates via tumblr.com, check two different announcement pages which may not yet be up (converting time zones). When I clicked one of the

I'm not following at all - why the downvotes and political accusations? The semantics of the quoted sentence clearly indicate that women going back to work is seen as a good thing (by the author; not necessarily my personal view) in th

The concern expressed in this sentence is that of a patriarchal society.

Which of these currently aren't true? Headphone with microphone yes? MagSafe yes, multiple USB and thunderbolt/mini-DisplayPort ports, function keys can be set to function like that by default. I just got a MacBook Pro and I don&#

Code is sometimes un-optimised, presumably the best option is to go back to lightly-compiled.

That's funny: from what I've heard the design community has been worried about these sites since the beginning because of the possibility of doing work that ends up not being bought.

The majority of the discussion on the topic is not claiming we are on the cusp. It is claiming that it is a) a danger; b) likely to be fast if it happens. Almost maximally irrelevant to a claim that nothing significant has happened recently

This page went spam-redirect crazy on iOS. I flagged the story, but don't see anyone else complaining...

Original Quake? It made the gib famous. Less realistic I guess, because older, but pretty clear gore for the time.

Every odd browser performance topic is dominated by people claiming Firefox has been faster and more scalable than Chrome for years. Every even one is dominated by people claiming the opposite. This thread seems to be the latter, my experie

It's pretty likely that he broke his NDA/contract. If he was not considered a whistleblower, you can be sure he would be prosecuted.

Ah, right, I took the section above to imply that they only send the e-mail to the affected users (which would make sense...). It doesn't specifically say that though.

This is strange. I thought I'd changed my password in that time, but received the email. However, I'm not prompted to change my password when I log in. Now it's unclear to me if they think I should do this manually or not. An

I think it was already the case that the content shown in the search result had to be viewable on the site. This link seems to be more about annoyances?

Agree. This happened to two other services I like this week as well. It's been puzzling me for a while though: doesn't Google punish the behaviour you mention?

There is also pbgzip if you are into indexed access (genome data).

Right, it goes away for a second or so at the turn. But the pattern is pretty accurate, because at a minimum they have the splits.

Desktop email clients, and to a certain extent mobile native ones, can do this to a good enough approximation by changing one common setting. Dropbox magic is all in the scripts and combination of the scripts with hosting, rsync etc. Changi

I was puzzling over exactly this during Ledecky's win in the 800m. I watched a replay with constant WR graphic overlay, so you could see her gaining and losing ground on it. IIRC the BBC commentators also contradicted themselves more t

The Homebrew steps seem simpler to me, especially if you already use it. Also easy to update - does the suite auto-update? Why don't you like Homebrew?

I read this about 15 years ago in a book published a decade or two before that, IIRC. Unfortunately the book did not really make a case, just claimed there was no evidence. It was a book about evidence-based medicine before that was a popul

Number of files is not the same as size, especially with the way node modules tend to be structured.

Many companies interview for competitor intelligence. Did you consider that they wanted to get some idea about how one of the big firms was doing (in) X?

I bought this and regretted it. The writing is nice and friendly, giving clear explanations. They are particularly good at pinpointing and naming problems with design. However, contrary to the expectations I had from the web page, here, and

Is there no US response to their base being isolated and restricted like that? Or just no direct military response? They've effectively been taken hostage from the sound of this article.

No, I doubt most people find this to be true. I generally find clean private apartments in good areas, cheaper than hotels, sometimes cheaper than hostels too. Used to be more availability of single rooms for even cheaper too. Seems like pr

Is it clearly better? Most reviews I've read said - ignoring the wand things - it's about equal, with Oculus maybe a bit better on economics. The fair comparison would be once Oculus releases their wands (and verification of room
