I wasn't a coder in the Sourceforge glory days. But it was a great place for a frequent user of opensource software. I remember a lot of small projects only existence was their Sourceforge presence. So Github might have provided a lot

No even when speed matters sometime lz4 is the best answer. I wrote a data sync that worked over 100mbps WAN and using lz4 on the serialised data transferred far faster than the raw data. Not just on network you can often be processing data

Its also very slow and whole UI is extremely buggy. Buttons would often be in improper state, download would start very slow, sometimes progress bar wouldn't show up even though download is happening. Resume would fail, caching would f

I have been curious since I saw this. Does batterybox really works? And if it does then why aren't any big player licensing the tech. How can it bypass the charging and directly power the laptop using the same connector?

Since its hackernews I think its fair to comment that I hate it because it makes the already difficult time programming even more difficult. Now I don't just have to save timezone somewhere but also the offset (to be full proof) of the

To be fair I think the outsourcing of servicing was a comment from the report not from Tesla. It seem more to me that the recall and the process is more likely for safety reason which makes business sense and at the same time they are highl

Thanks for the Cmd-Option-I, never even thought about googling for this. I know some of the shortcuts including how to open something but some of the defaults here are not about mac being different from windows (commenting on the parent) bu

My foremost example of apple's form over function is actually the 'Form' of the hardware. Every apple product that I have touched the phones, pads and macbooks are a slippery nightmare. They are often thin enough to be imposs

I haven't really read the thing but based off the comment here see if the following makes sense. Lets say I'm the author of apache http server and I want to make sure that malicious attacks on the http server doesn't escape i

Could the heavier weight (not big enough to break the screen) could actually damage the force touch sensor also? But probably the screen damage possibility was the reason for the rejection.

What I meant is a single vendor. There are other laptops out there good or bad and if I wanted one for price or design I can't. For example I would probably love to run OSX on something like a surface book if that was possible, or linu

I tend to use the HN crowd like that :). You can expect to find from an optics professor to professional photographer and everything in between to comment on this.

Don't really know much about optics to really know the viability of this specially after Litro. But here is what I like 1. Its a different take on the problem, stitching multiple lens and sensor data to make a whole that's better

Exactly. I mean there are basic things for which you shouldn't have to hunt models. Anything with the basic size, shape and weight should have the standard ports and connectors I am guessing they are cheap enough. Having to shop for a

This! At least from the initial look and spec it looks like they did a lot of the things right and put effort in making this nice. Yes there are things that maybe I can get by without but the basics looks fantastic. You don't chip $50

I am a long time happy user of IDEA but they seem to be always screwing up index these days. There has been version when the responsiveness of autocomplete has plummet. It has gone faster in places and slower in others. I think in general t

What I'm not hearing is that what that really means. It's not just the buffer overflow thing. It seems that most of these tools (he exploited 3 so far) are disabling protection feature in the OS and are just blind to the risk pars

That doesn't make sense given that they have already broken two other antivirus in a similar fashion and they commented Thanks to Kaspersky for record breaking response times when handling this report, they’ve set a high bar to bea

I'm just wondering what it's like for a data compression expert whether algorithm or coding. It must be really wonderful and energising to see such interest and momentum in ones field. I wonder if anyone working on the field would

Ohh I know there has been a lot of work, exotic codecs for a long while. I'm not an expert but I have looked up whats out there fairly often. What I'm saying that most of them had been too slow or specialised to be used by most pe

It's fantastic to see so much fascinating work in compression these days after a fair amount of stagnation. I know there had been a lot of specialized but codec work but the recent discoveries are very much for wide use. You now have L

I'm not sure I understand the point about economics being about utility vs. wealth. If its free market then aren't people free to choose between utility vs. wealth and in such case pure free market don't have much defense aga

Not american but yeah the law enforcement agencies should be more careful about these loophole or at least try to fix them as quickly as possible once they are found out. Maybe there are some other incentives (sometimes) at the top. But non

Yup, wasn't defending this one :). Did the git annotate came after blame cause in the olden time I remember seeing the git blame example. These days I mostly use IDEA's annotate feature and don't even know what's the com

by tmd83 11y ago
While the name maybe a bit unfortunate or maybe made just for fun, git blame has actual use. While it's useful to see the commit log and figure out how the bug came to be, it can also be useful to talk with the respective developer if

I also used to exhaustively follow the no goto rule. Not that these days I have much reason to mostly coding in java. Goto is definitely very easy to use but there are a lot of scenarios where the code that you write trying not to use goto

Yeah right. No wonder I see people adding all sorts of adjective to the systemd proponent. I don't usually go hunting for sources and I only had Linus's comment about kdbus and performance. So I went to look for pottering's o

In general true but sometimes it's almost impossible to prove that it is actually unwanted or plain wrong and you need to take some risk for the bigger benefit. It's not something to do lightly but it is actually needed sometimes.
