I love these power supplies! An awesome feature is the GPIB port on the back (it's basically a parallel port with a specific command set). In college I bought a USB to GPIB adapter on ebay for like $100 and a few cables (you can daisy

I agree with the points brought up by the other two people in this thread. Especially the unread count stresses me out! My personal wish is to be able to create feeds (or have a reader be able to essentially present in feed form) for websit

Huh, TIL. Still, it doesn't seem to be enabled by default on new projects (although I only tried in Android Studio, several months ago)

Gradle has a Kotlin Script build script option these days too. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure if it's any better.

At least with Groovy, most Java programs are also valid groovy programs (the converse is not true, but not too different).

In my case they mailed me a piece of paper with an access code on it, which led to a site with an encrypted PDF containing my report. The password to the PDF was the same as the access code I got.

That's not the fault of CGI but rather of the people who wrote bad code. You can easily have the same problem in your NodeJS express app if you're careless!

It's only disallowed by Play Store Policy, not as a technical limitation. Personally, I'm glad that it's not restricted, that way I can still write apps that use it, even if they'll never be officially published anywhere

Couldn't you also just hook this up to Slack search and include relevant threads into the results as well?

Does anyone know of the TPM equivalent for this? I found this [1] but when I tried it, the Windows Hello prompt only accepts USB security keys and not the fingerprint sensor in my laptop (already set up for login). My knowledge of WebAuth

Sure, but those were the travel cards. Likely the marketing department is in charge of these signs, perhaps even outsourced to some agency, who may not consider this

It's probably an iOS app client for HN. CFNetwork is like their URLConnection I think. You're blocking people who want to read your article! As for why it occurs so often in quick succession, perhaps there's a bug in the app

The feature could use some work however. I remember trying it recently and OPML support (especially when you have sub-folders) didn't really work. Personally I use Smart-RSS [1], which is a clone of the original Opera (12) feed reader

An idea I had is to just embed a pixel into the item body. You can self host it too: just analyze the apache logs (or whatever you have) for requests to that pixel.

Some programming languages have them. I'm personally subscribed to Dlang (news.digitalmars.com), Perl (nntp.perl.org), and PHP (news.php.net). All of them have decent traffic every day, although most of that is likely due to the mailin

One thing that helped me a lot is to decompile the compiled build script classes with e.g. JADX [1] to see how my code gets turned into Java, since that is what I already knew. That was my "Ah-ha!" moment in using Gradle. [1] htt

It would be beneficial to show a snippet/preview of each person's most recent post on their blog (assuming they have an RSS feed). Otherwise it's just a list of names
