   I tried it over the end-of-year holiday break with my 3 boys to play Guild Wars 2 from our Macs. It sucked down over our 1.2 TB of Xfinity bandwidth within maybe just a day's worth of playing. If we would have continued, I would have e

   Edit: Nope, just didn't scroll far enough. They also list the 22" on their site as well. But still, which size is best for mounting? old: The IKEA website only lists the 21-5/8" version. Is 22" required for compute

   This is interesting! And makes total sense. I didn't know that the rest of the world (smartly) measures flour in terms of mass not volume. And your conversion factor is really helpful, thank you.

   [Quoting your quote] - A time before aggressive SEO? No, just that Google was able to defeat it with Page Rank (one of their possibly few innovative ideas to the search arena). Mathematically, Page Rank did very well to weed out the SEO&#x2

   And then have to deal with all the "price gouging" press/lawsuites/legislation. The manufacturers know they need to keep selling at a constant price, otherwise it will be much much worse for their business and brand. For

   So, am I to get this right? The universe, it's big. Like really big?

   Shouldn't that somewhat be the point, though? Shouldn't we have control over the look & feel, layout, design of the websites we visit? I'm feeling like you did exactly what you should have done. You chose to read the site

    This is such a fun idea, actually. Sprites in general (not just 2D 8-bit style) could be really useful for DALL-E to generate. There are a good amount of tilesets and sprite packs for sale online created by pixel artists. But having sprites

    This is legit. While it seems it takes forever to bring this kind of stuff to trial, it will be an interesting case for sure. Especially in the broader more general sense. AI is just recomposition of existing snippets of code, art, text, mu

    Very insightful response. The tendency is to look at the cookie problem as an advertising problem. Whereas, there are other cross-origin use cases that are not adverts but pose the same tracking threat. Anything on a CDN (like common javasc

    Would you be OK with a USB-C to MagSafe adapter? I totally get your point and can't disagree with it. But I really love the magsafe connector for power. It's just so nice. usb-c feels slow clunky in comparison. Just for a straight

    Yes, BGP is a good example of brokenness on the internet. Lower in the stack than web pages, though, which was my rant that "internet broken" for many authors often means "web broken".

    For reference, HTTPS is still HTTP. These are not two separate protocols. SSL/TLS doesn't change how HTTP works. The issue that the world has switched to HTTPS might be an interesting discussion. But the HTTP protocol itself still

    "Show HN" is somewhat asking for feedback, is it not? Or am I mistaken in the format? Yes, I can probably self-host something like this, change the color schema in a myriad of ways. But I thought the point of Show HN was to showca

    So I like this and I'm trying it out, it seemingly works OK. However, the GREEN background is very annoying. I don't need the whole webpage to be green for me to know it's on and working. I can't minimize the browser (fi

    I liked this quote from the article you cited: Is there any way to keep the Lower Colorado River flowing? It may seem like an engineering oversight not to have a way for that 815 billion gallons of water trapped in deadpool to get p

    Thank you for this. Suggestion: I'm looking at the 10-14 list. When I click "Next Page", it retains the "book series" section on top and the actual next page I have to scroll halfway down the screen to see. I'm

    You get all the failures of static linking, too. Security in underlying statically compiled libs, for example.

    Right, imagine in the context of education, that a student is drafting some essay or whatever. In the process, that student might copy/paste some text from another article and then will go on to rewrite the text into their own language
