Opera, Safari also have dev tools, although those are both webkit-based, these days. IE's had (non-sucky) dev tools since... IE9? 10? Something like that. I'm sure Edge has dev tools. Part of the issue with a lot of these alternat

Well, processed foods might not reduce wall clock time, but because (as you mentioned) they remove the hands-on phase, it doesn't require the attention / human time. Surely if you pop a TV dinner into the microwave, you don't

It is, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still more curious on that front. The wiki page has a few sample servers [0], but again, those don't meet your criterion of popular. I realize that the initial RTT reduction is

Personally, I'm more curious to see the comparison with QUIC, which eliminates the RTTs to set up TCP + TLS, and multiplexes connections in a way that doesn't lead to the head-of-line blocking problem that you can see with HTTP&#x

Apparently, lack of market demand [0]. As for adapters: they significantly increase the profile of the yubikey nano, which I feel is a dealbreaker in that particular case, as the main selling point of the nano (to me, at least) is the alway

I thought the problem with the note 7 was with the power controller, and not the batteries -- didn't phones continue catching fire after the first recall?

I think the parent comment was pointing out that the foxbusiness article was pretty blatant plagiarism -- in fact, if you go through the two articles side-by-side, you can see that the foxbusiness article is pretty much taken verbatim, albe

I found a HN post that recommended switching my nameservers to OpenDNS, which uses SmartCache. Seems like a better approach in general.

Hm. In investigating, I saw that Comcast's intended merger was with TWC, which makes a difference (as both are infrastructure companies).

In particular, SubtleCrypto [0] seems to be what you're looking for. It's in the latest versions of FF/Chrome/Edge/Safari (and according to MDN, shipped with Edge last year and has been supported by Chrome/FF&#

Right. A nuclear reactor generates massive amounts of heat from fission, then uses that heat to boil water (sometimes heavy water for better radiation shielding) to make steam to cause turbines to spin, which generates the electricity. (in

I was originally going to post something along these lines, but then I realized that this argument doesn't work the same in this particular context, and the parent isn't necessarily arguing against password stores in general. Sure

Further, point 5 refers to the SARS outbreak ('02-'03) and BSE (mad cow disease, which I believe entered mainstream US news around '03-'04), so I'd place it another year out, in '04. I do find it a bit bizarre

Given that Cryptonomicon was published in 1999, I'd guess the article wasn't published before then. So... 1999?

Not just this; HDD technology has been stagnating, while SSD technology still has yet to reach its full potential. In the last five years, HDDs haven't really gotten cheaper (other than market returning to pre-flooding equilibrium). On

This is actually slightly incorrect. You seem to be calculating as if the clock rate were 3300MHz, even though the listed number in DDR (double data rate) is actually double the actual clock rate (IIRC, for marketing reasons). On top of th

Ah, Wawa's adopted that model, too? That must be relatively new. Guess PA likes kiosks for ordering food.

The problem here is that someone who consistently provides high-quality (or at least frequently-upvoted) comments / submissions will likely have less of a contribution than someone with significantly lower karma. For instance: you would hav

Isn't the entire point of the CDN that it is distributed? (: But yeah, allowing peers to participate in a CDN is basically the notion of torrenting. :)

Currently Bridge does not have support for direct P2P communication (it's listed on the roadmap as one of the upcoming features), but do note that P2P such as torrenting can cause various networking issues if not implemented well.

I can't imagine that WebSockets would be used outside of communicating with the browser -- in fact, a quick glance at the Python client library seems to indicate the use of raw TCP sockets.

Thrift was designed for server-server and primarily for static languages. IDLs are a pain in the ass. Bridge looks like a good alternative. Stuff like client-server, binary data serialization, and no IDLs makes Bridge very appealing. Take a

I haven't really used Ruby much until recently, but what's wrong with just setting the GEM_HOME environment variable? Wholeheartedly agree with not using sudo if not necessary, though. That seems to have become a bad habit for a lot of peop

It's not quite as ironic when you consider that the old code was written largely by the same people who decided to rewrite it. They've potentially already reached the end, since they realized that what they wrote was unintelligible. All dep
