While VS Code is a great IDE, a lot of this article is simply untrue. Node has had an interactive debugger (and corresponding API) for years. Prior to --inspect, --debugger gave developers the abilities to step through code and to jump into

Should gun manufacturers be liable for shootings? Car manufacturers for hit and runs? What about the USPS for when people ship drugs or other illegal contraband? This seems like an awfully slippery slope where companies are are not only res

Why do the euro models feature completely different (and arguably better) configurations? I have one of these from a couple generations back and absolutely love it. My only regret is getting the high end model with the touch screen and high

That might be a little extreme. Vault 7 demonstrated that the US government has been hoarding vulnerabilities to consumer electronics which allows spying without warrants and leaves the owners at risk.

I'm generally in support of WikiLeaks, but this is a really good example of why they often get such a bad rap. As far as I can tell, there isn't anything remotely illegal or unethical about this project (aside from war itself but

>To me, the fact that Node has to add a library with custom semantics just to allow a basic 'open' on a file handle is a huge warning flag to me What do you mean? The fs module shipped with node is pretty much just a wrapper fo

You can cut the irony with a knife. I left Comcast after they imposed data caps in my area which I struggled to stay under. I have several roommates and we generally consume media via streaming services; primarily twitch and netflix. It see

This is a fascinating concept. What kinds of applications could time crystals be used for? Time locked crypto that doesn't rely on proof of work jumps to mind, but I'm by no means an expert on either cryptography or quantum mechan

Have you tried using an equivalent amount of water and/or fiber supplements as a control? It seems reasonable to conclude that eating additional food would cause you to feel satiated for longer.

I think the problem I (and most people) have with IoT is that the marketing is coming before the UX. Sure, you can spend 100 bucks on a lightbulb that can be controlled by your email, but will it really be usable? There is a lot of potenti

A couple of months ago my Twitter account was hacked by a spammer who subscribed me to a couple thousand other accounts. Since there is no mass unfollow feature, I wrote a quick and dirty javascript to kill everything on my page: var a = $(

Yes and no. You will get slipping on heavily worn cassette (read: sawtooth shaped teeth) and a new chain or vice versa, but heavily worn these days might be 4-6000 miles of abusive riding. For the average commuter, this would be several yea

I'd be curious to see how all the sensors hold up after a couple months of regular cleaning. I have an older model Roomba and am blown away by how durable it is. The sensors are extremely primitive and it doesn't have any capabili

I really want to like OSM, but the default UI is really holding me back. Even with its limitations, Google maps looks great out of the box. Open Street Maps is downright ugly. Aesthetics is a huge selling point, especially when used for bus

I didn't, but I can see how my wording was misleading. In my eyes I see the ISP's at odds with the companies which require heavy internet usage. Comcast/Time Warner/Verizon/etc don't like Apple/Netflix&#x2

Why? If the ISP's push the issue too hard, the public will be up in arms for net neutrality. If they just push hard enough to keep small companies from competing it will be a win/win for everybody since the ISP's make even mo

I have Steam for windows installed through wine, and haven't had many issues getting my titles which I purchased from the humble bundle running. Since many of them have linux native versions already, I don't suspect we will have any issues.

I have an original replicator. With a little practice, you can have much nicer results than the 'lumpy prints' that you describe. Also, ABS is really easily sanded and is quite solid if you want professional looking parts

This site is a bad example but tables aren't inherently bad. For tabular data or charts they are just fine, but should not be used as a tool for layout.
