Again, as a user, why is this our problem? Let's all stop picking sides when trillion dollar companies fight each other at the expense of an open inter-operable Internet.

The code introduces some speed variation on each bounce, either positive or negative so it's possible that over time one ball ends up a lot faster?

I had the same thought... If you drop this in the console you can speed things up: dx1*=2;dx2*=2;dy1*=2;dy2*=2; edit: someone else in the thread figured out a better way, I updated mine, but credit to them. Although it has accurac

Thank you so much! Just finished doing a few test with both of those tools and it looks like they will be very helpful.

Does anyone know of a web fuzzer like tool that mutates structures like JSON or file uploads or the like while it tests? So things that look like reasonably complex HTTP requests but have deficiencies or small variations? The last few API

It's also subjective down to the individual, so how would you even quantify it properly?

Totally fair, the dynamic has changed and so has the customer experience..

This is harder than it looks.. Is there a "quality filter" setting you can toggle on and off? Who decides what goes on which side of the filter? At Amazon's scale, it would have to be automated. Much like search SEO and e

But.. that's how a lot of products have always worked. I think the difference is that before a lot of white-label product factories would cut territory-based deals with resellers, so in (for example) the US, that widget is called &quot

Yeah it's almost a double-dip in some ways because they are taking money from a product's competitor to show you their alternative when you search for what you actually want, and then when you still/eventually end up going to

I respect your feeling/position on this, but I don't understand it... What feels "dumb" about it? Is the perception of others towards you when you do this? Because that ship has sailed, people Vlog on the sidewalk and d

Funny you say this, using Siri to set timers when cooking was my "gateway drug" to using voice features on my phone more broadly. For the longest time it was literally the only thing I used Siri for (cooking timers), but now I use

Honestly, for me it's a selling point. Generally speaking Rust programs are fast, memory-efficient and of high quality. I'm certainly not saying this is always the case, or that it's impossible in other languages, but I am de

If you google TCO, at least where I am (North America), "Total Cost of Ownership" is the first result - and the dominant one on the first page of results. It's also the main definition of TCO that most people are probably f

I also assumed the other TCO when I clicked through, which would have been an interesting take to read for sure (particularly since Bun is so new, so I was wondering how much data would be backing this analysis), but I'm not a strong f

TCO in this article = Tail Call Optimization, not Total Cost of Ownership. It makes the article more interesting!
