This is clearly broken, it shows "3 blocked" even as uBO is reporting 89 requests to 34 different domains blocked. EDIT it's below the fold: "Some browser/blocker combinations may affect results. If uBlock Origin br

Sometime in the 2000s I started reading the RISKS Digest mailing list[1] from the beginning. I did it for fun - it's an interesting mix of fun anecdotes and lessons learned, and the 80's and early 90's were before my time whi

It was blocked from inclusion in the AMD GPU drivers, it's nothing specific to Steam or the Steam Machine. The HDMI Forum apparently forbids any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1. Although I don't know if they ever offered an

I was in the same boat and literally this week bought a Pixel 8. It's a 2 year old phone but with the extended support period that's no longer a problem, and being old means you can get it new for about €300 or refurbished for eve

They don't need to expand capacity to fulfill this contract. They would want to expand capacity if they believed this increase in demand is long lasting - the implication is therefore that they don't believe it, or not enough to r

Truly, the writers of Yes Minister were documentarians. That line could have been straight out of the show.

They are, and that's exactly why music piracy fell off a cliff in the streaming era and movie/tv piracy didn't. "Piracy is a service problem" -- Gabe Newell

I've had something similar happen starting maybe a year ago, and varying in intensity from "no problem" up to "pegged CPU in the youtube tab and UI actions can lag up to several seconds". It doesn't affect vide

I use uBo which uses easylist, and when I watch youtube videos they are marked as viewed, so this explanation does not seem likely?

I would like this too. This approach would also fix the most common failure mode of spelling checkers: typos that are accidentally valid words. I constantly type "form" instead of "from" for example and spelling checkers

That would be plausible if the effect was only seen in one game, or a small handful. Instead it's happening across the board, with almost all games tested showing at least some gain, and many showing gains comparable to CP2077. At that

The hacks paid off though. The cheapness made the Spectrum ubiquitous across whole swaths of europe. Not only was it the first computer of an entire generation, it was the first generation where many people had a computer.

You mean the problem you describe in "Part 3" of the article? Damn it, now you've made me paranoid. I'll have to check the ELB logs for 502 errors during our deployment windows.

I'm not sure why they state "although the AWS Load Balancer Controller is a fantastic piece of software, it is surprisingly tricky to roll out releases without downtime." The AWS Load Balancer Controller uses readiness gates

And yet the quality of that channel is absolutely excellent, and the polar opposite of what the thumbnail clickbait suggests. I'd say it's on the same level of the Admiral Cloudberg blog actually. And to be clear I completely agre

Agree. Over-balancing everything in single player games sucks out the fun. "Single-player" here is key - minutely perfect balancing is often a necessity in multiplayer games, and I suspect sometimes that mentality is carried over

From the arguments I've read against this, I think not enough emphasis is being placed on the strongest one: In the modern world online access is as necessary as water, power and phone service. No one would suggest forcing the power co

I got stuck in the spiral slide on the same level. I got the impression framerate glitches are affecting the collision detection (common physics implementation pitfall). I could be wrong though. Still, very cool. Too cool to waste on market

Cookie header parsing is a shitshow. The "standards" don't represent what actually exists in the wild, each back-end server and/or library and/or framework accepts something different, and browsers do something else

Since you're denormalizing to a single table, I think the correct way to handle this would be to aggregate all the titles into the title column. Although "Untitled Pixar Animation Project" is basically garbage data, but that&

Seems to be some normalization problem with the data, right in the 1st page of the default query there's a duplicate entry.
