The ads are content too and probably need more and better policing than the content they appear next to. Literally anyone can buy a Facebook ad and target it with exquisite precision to people who will agree with it and not report it, and s

This is amazing to see - completely unpotted AGC! I've been following Curiousmarc's channel for a while and it's great to see this. Anyone interested in AGC stuff might also want to check out this video from the 34th Chaos Co

Be careful with the TTL RGB levels, though. You should add some resistors.

I certainly learned some things today. I didn’t realise ‘open source’ had such a specific meaning, and I understand why it’s useful to establish the definition so there is no ambiguity. Reading the replies to this thread is like watching hi

Betteridge’s law applies. The guy found a database of train stations, car parks and airports - so what? When it finds you’re nearby it tells the cloud service which presumably grabs your tickets or something, like a geofence. The location d

Funny, I just caught Win10 sending info about me opening and closing services.msc, and sending my taskbar searches to office and onedrive. Couple of Windows Firewall rules stopped it. You can see it all in Wireshark, there’s a ton of it.

My cheap unbranded microwave has a dial to set the power (which is always on max) and a clockwork dial to set the time, which also starts the oven when turned. This is the best UX of any microwave I’ve ever had - I can start it with the cor

I thought unix time was a signed integer, so you can go negative all the way back to 1901: $ perl -e 'print gmtime(-2147483648).""' Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901

I'm unclear as to whether I'll be able to pipe binary data between a classic console application and a ConPTY application due to the VT translation and rendering components in ConHost. So, for example if I was to pipe into 7z.exe,

There is no error in the original article other than how it’s phrased. I think it intends to warn people not to trust String.hashCode() to be unique, with a lot of examples. That is good! Why criticise it? Proper use of hashCode() is for qu

The phone company would be a better analogy, and they absolutely can cut off your service if you’re being a nuisance. The first ammendment says your government won’t pass laws against you saying stuff, it stops you from going to jail for th

You can use Ghostery or uBlock Origin to block comments sections on many sites. I found Ghostery quite easy to set up for this.

We can probably learn a lot about UI animation from video games. In fighting games there are the concepts of animation priority[0] and cancelling[1], which essentially govern whether the animation for your previous move will block your next

What I’m getting from the responses to this post is that everyone is getting checked and everyone resents it, nobody knows why they’re checked and every decent innocent individual can only conclude it’s due to prejudice. Sounds like the TSA

Sorry to see search.cpan.org go, I don't write much perl nowadays so only just discovered metacpan, which seems like a big step forward. It is appropriate that there would be more than one way to do it. Still, I pored over search.cpan.
