Techcrunch is an absolute abomination of a website. For those using uBlock and/or uMatrix, have a look at the list of third-party domains the site uses. No less than 18(!) of them: * ads-twitter.com * bizzabo.com * dscg1.akamai.net * f

It can't just be me who thinks adding moisture to the already-filthy internals of a coffee grinder is a terrible idea. Sounds like a recipe for mould growth. I took apart my electric grinder once for cleaning and it stank of mildew eve

No doubt these are an environmental abomination, however there are a growing number of recycling services. In the UK/Europe at least they can be collected at the same time as your kerbside recycling. The scheme is paid for by the coffe

Random questions about US courts: 1. If someone files a suit, is a basic level of sense-checking done before the defendant is served and issued a summons? Basically I'm asking if someone could just file a lawsuit with absolutely no rea

Why do they continue to use fabric for the seats? Fabric and foam gets insanely dirty and is almost impossible to properly clean. There's also the very real problem of bedbugs being spread via the tube.

Unpopular opinion but I hate the design of the site. The transitions are too slow and the entire site is inaccessible to anyone with vertigo, visual processing or balance disorders. Needless to say it also doesn't respect the browser&#

As a developer, I flatly refuse to engage with Apple in any way because of their $100 annual fee. I feel especially vindicated when stuff like this surfaces. Imagine being the richest company in the world and having the audacity to charge

Is there a WYSIWYG GUI editor for this, a la Visual Basic? Because honestly, you can have the best GUI toolkit in the world but without a visual editor, building a GUI-rich app will still be incredibly tedious.

Thank you. I gave it a try but I can't get along with the non-native window GUI.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the mice in this guy's videos are all tame, or at least used to being trapped repeatedly, aren't they? I feel like it'd be far easier to "trap" the mice after having repeatedly expo

Does SQLite have any good RDBMS programs which support it? MySQL has the excellent SQLYog which is like a better version of MySQL Workbench.

My personal opinion: yes. As 160+Hz monitors are finally becoming commonplace, it's becoming less defensible for games to run anywhere below 60fps. But it's the fact that these figures are being seen with the most powerful consume

Not obviously; all it says is it generates a schema "while using" a website. "Using" could mean navigating between pages, submitting data via forms, etc.

Yeah but my question remains: by what criteria is a request classed as an "API request"? Websites make tons of XHR requests and not all of them are API requests. I want to know what this extension does that's different than m

The description doesn't explain exactly what this extension does. I assume it monitors all XHR requests as you browse a website, and if the request/response matches [some criteria (e.g. is JSON?)] it will assume it's an API r
