I have this pretty much 100% of the time when I'm playing a piano piece, especially an older piece that I've somewhat forgotten. It's not so much that I'm re-learning the notes, it feels more like I'm coaxing the re

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion, and this is useful critique! No complaints here, however your original comment lacked this information. It's being downvoted because it doesn't really contribute anything to the dis

I had no idea it was all clientside! That makes me significantly less worried about it. I guess I'm so used to recommendations being done serverside that I'm jaded by default.

I switched to Firefox as my primary browser a couple of months ago, and have been happy enough that I haven't looked back. It is significantly more smooth and performant than it was; the work on Quantum cannot be understated, and the m

You can get close with a built in browser setting. Firefox can erase all cookies as soon as you close the browser: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cook... You can also open up a Private Bro

These are valid points. Encrypted DNS stops your ISP from sniffing DNS requests, but does not directly stop them from seeing IP based traffic, and potentially deducing the domain name, if that IP address is from a suitably unique source. (S

Funny you mention that! My first programming language was TI-BASIC, on an old TI-83 Plus. That language is wonderfully simple, slow enough to watch the execution happen almost in realtime, and tolerant enough that for the longest time, I di

Recommendation: Python might be too advanced of a start. Seriously. Check out some simler frameworks that are geared more strongly towards game development. Even as an experienced programmer, I still gravitate towards the Love2D framework f

I don't know how I could constructively express my disappointment with this ruling, so instead I'll leave everyone with this lovely musical discussion of the ever popular "4 chord song", by Axis of Awesome. They make my

I'm also using uBlock Origin on FF. Huh. Maybe we have a different list of filters? I turned on the malware ones but otherwise it's basically stock.

This website redirects away from the article after a short while if you run an ad blocker. I won't turn mine off, for reasons that ironically have to do with a distrust of third party tracking networks. EDIT: NoScript did the trick.

Yes, through any of the publically available IPFS gateways. ipfs.io is one of the more common official ones, but since they're all connected to the same network, in theory the content should be available from any of them. You can also

I find it mildly creepy that if I log into Google Maps when I'm connected through my usual VPN of choice, it still pinpoints my location. I know why of course; it's figured it out from my Android phone in my pocket. Makes me wonde

Actually, a lot of us that don't work in the design space would be perfectly happy if our monitors simply had close enough to the same white between our dual screens. I absolutely do not care how color accurate my JavaScript code actua

I don't know how much truth there is to this, and I'll check with my personal machines when I get home (I run Linux at work) but when I worked in a retail space, the apps that were pre-loaded varied based on the OEM. Dell got a se

Very much a hobbyist dev machine, and I primarily write video games and related tools on this machine. Some of my emulator projects are cross-platform, so I need to be able to test on Windows for those anyway; it's kind of a general pu

When I'm purely in a dev mode, I do. But often, I'd like to be able to jump into online games with my friends on the same PC, and the games I like to play simply work better on Windows. It's nice to have the same or equivalen

I don't doubt that what you say is correct, but I think the author's point is that even with those optimizations, the sheer amount of data from [Every Alexa in the world] * [Every second of every day] is too much for any remote se

I was never at risk for this kind of attack due to my ad blocker, but I can't help but wonder why the ad was allowed to run in the first place. Surely Google of all people have the resources to do analysis of javascript code that is su

You seem to be getting downvoted but no one's explaining why: check your math. At 8 hours a day, plus 1 hour there and 1 hour back, each of your 5 work days would total 10 hours. 5 of those is a 50h work week, not a 60h week: 5d * (8

Yup. The PS1 also had a major advantage in the size of its games. During that day and age, reliably downloading a 700 MB file was a luxury few could afford, and dial-up connections were still especially popular. These days you can just pop

Flat panels differ in one very important aspect though. A CRT monitor achieves its refresh rate by briefly illuminating phosphors on the surface of the monitor, and relying on human persistence of vision to achieve an image. The CRT monitor

It depends on the setup; if you're running go-ipfs, the node is a program that runs on your computer and becomes available in your browser, either through its IP address (yours, optionally public with proper network setup) or through t

The confusion is perhaps understood, as this is a complex issue. Basically, you need to remember that on the hypervisor there are two kernels; the hypervisor's OS, and the Guest's OS. The exploit works, we assume, by abusing share

I strongly believe it's the ease of use factor. If you know nothing at all about containers, but have just installed docker, you can immediately "docker run httpd" and watch a web server install itself and do something useful

I'm quite the opposite, I struggle to truly multitask, but some of my co-workers seem to focus better when they have a YouTube video off to one side. Each person is different, and it doesn't matter all that much as long as the wor
