> Twitter has turned into a place where famous people and news organizations broadcast text. That's not unexpected given their signup flow, it's pages and pages you have to click through where it automatically follows hundreds

If they didn't, Google would ban them for showing different content to the Google crawler and to users. They wouldn't get much traffic if they had a paywall that didn't allow this.

Is it though? They are allowing use if you have a Google refer, the "circumvention" is just linking to a Google search endpoint that redirects you to their website. You entered in the prescribed way which they made an explicit met

Even just a [paywall] like you do [pdf] to warn people not to bother clicking it would help greatly.

It'll be interesting where it goes next. The content on most news sites is complete trash, and they are obviously getting desperate to make money in any way possible.

If the workarounds are so commonly accepted, can you start automagically editing the links to be the google/url redirect bypass then?

That's part of iTerm. In appearance, set tab style "bottom" and "dark" to emulate that screenshot.

I liked the JavaScript IRC client which uses like 400MB of memory.

All of these things sound like solutions that will take me a lot longer to set up than they will save me in time. A few years ago I messed about with "smart" lighting, and it turns out that all of it just unimaginably annoying. Al

The teasmade was such a whimsical device, though I prefer the completely mechanical version which did everything from lighting a burner next to your bed to pouring boiling water hopefully into a cup. http://www.inoutfield.com&#x2

A radioisotope might work, though good luck convincing people to dump tonnes of radioactive marker into a hole that nobody knows where it goes. A pinger from an aeroplane would do an alright job, but they are usually specified to work for a

Not that you'd find it again unless you attached it to a piece of string.

Water is essentially non permeable by radio waves at the frequencies you would use for GSM and GPS, which is why communicating with submarines is extremely tricky. I've always assumed (but never been able to find information on) convic

You will eventually end up with a deck in the same order as the beginning, but that doesn't mean it isn't random.

You can't shuffle and end up with less random output.

Yeah, I like the concept more than have a need for the thing presently. The OPs page talks about a custom spun ASIC so making a controller wouldn't be a huge problem if someone wanted to sink the NRE into it.

That thing is ludicrously expensive.

I wish people had continued this sort of thing, I had a Gigabyte i-Ram[0] and it was incredible. The most limiting factor was that it used DDR memory slots (maximum 4GB) and the SATA interface. I don't imagine there would be much of a

AMD didn't expose the necessary features for good SHA256 performance on their GPUs either, for a while you had to hack their SDK to get them.

Could probably emulate lots of things, it's a hell of a lot faster than a Commodore 64.

64MB is pretty restricting for most things people would want to run on a Raspberry Pi, the text says you can run Debian on it but that feels like it would be pretty tight. That said, the thing is stupidly cheap for driving small displays (h

I've seen applications using this sort of thing but it typically slows down rendering log prints horribly. Use ANSII colour or something if you want things to look pretty, not Unicode.

Both actions happen at the same time, someone phishes you, captures your input and they have the password for it as well. Now that they've got a shell on your box IP address restrictions are bypassed as well, as is port knocking. This

If your threat model has someone stealing your private key and breaking/obtaining the password to it, none of the other measures are going to mean anything as they have root on your box. With root they can bypass the access restriction

Makes the normal buck converter arrangement too. Controller, inductor, diode. The GPU will be taking like half a volt so things are definitely going to be getting toasty.

The app took two photos simultaneously, one with the front camera and one with the back. It allowed you to show a combination of where you are and what you are doing in the same instant.

Yeah, that's nasty. It's a blog post, it's about as close to static content as you can get. It's not even listed in the pros and cons that this is a perceivable issue, which you can see once you allow the swathes of Java

Probably easier just to sniff their various MAC addresses.

That's weird, I've seen conflicting information that says imgur deletes images not accessed for 180 days.

Yep. The 2G and 3G ones are particularly bad because there's a public toolchain that gets you from web browser to root, for the 4 and later you normally need USB access to some degree.
