You have 3 "holes" in your power strip outlets: Line, Neutral, and Ground. Now, a figure-8 can only have 2 wires inside it. So, it's likely that you have Line and Neutral connected, while Ground is "floating" (not

Skylake support isn't mature enough in Windows either, though. However, I have two devices with a Skylake processor and neither have on Linux (as of recently, there were some minor ones with bad power states on cores). One of them dual

Another, slightly unconventional way (which is how I learned English as a native Croatian speaker), is to find an online community about something you really enjoy. For me it was the combination of Harry Potter and online roleplaying[1]. I

I am a really huge fan of Supernatural, but lately it feels like it's kinda getting out of control. On the other hand, I also don't want it cancelled!

Who knows, we might soon get SuckleSSL. :) Jokes aside, they have a bizarre philosophy and attitude, especially when you consider their software is most of the time buggy, and… Well, sucky.

I agree with what you say, but advertising (more specifically Google's Adwords) actually introduced me to a couple of interesting services/products! Was I manipulated? Definitely, because I clicked the ad, but I don't mind be

FWWIW Ruby is my favourite language, but it's nowhere near being as beginner-friendly for web development as PHP. This is mostly because PHP was designed as an "embedded" language from the grounds up, and by the fact it'

Hi! Thanks for responding to my questions! The whole project is amazing and I hope you keep working on this (and future projects) with the same enthusiasm as you do now! :D

From Netflix's point of view it does even out, but the EU citizen still pays more for less.

This does look fascinating. The video is a bit showbusiness-like (for a lack of better expression). A few questions if the author is on HN: I wonder how long it takes to analyse a 5 second video? Also, it seems the algorithm only works with

Crystal supported Windows (albeit unofficially, and it was an epic adventure to compile it, and I've never tried running any serious code on it), however all support practically ceased when it switched from libpcl to inline ASM for cor

Yes. It's in the settings screen. You can remove any or all devices (bar the current one), too.

When you add a device, you do get notified a new device was added, and if you have an existing telegram device, all future devices won't use SMS as the authorisation channel. I think the problem here is that the attackers added a dev

I agree 100% with the author. Another thing that I feel this "let's talk about women in tech" attitude is causing is causing a negative effect, rather than a good one. An example of this is my (female) friend who rolls her ey

Just guessing, but I think it means it can animate things asynchronously and independently, even though "polyvalent" might not be the best word to describe those features.

To be fair, I forgot I got a new PC between the first time I used Atom and when I switched over to it. However, I did try opening an 11 MB (JSON) file and it did indeed feel sluggish.

How large are you talking? I had similar issues early on with Atom, but I don't have them anymore (same project). Also, it would only hang for about a second when initially opening the file, later on it would work smoothly.

Yes, and that is really great, but it would be even greater if they adequately supported their newer & "consumer-level" (for a lack of better expression) hardware as well.

This is so frustrating, especially when you buy a $3000+ laptop (which is a lot for a laptop in Croatia) only to have to find this shit out on your own, because it's a very specific thing you need to Google. And it is even more frustra
