Clearly a big f-up by FIFA on what looks like quite a tidy platform otherwise. One question though, how do you know your feed would kick off the 'real' feed if you pushed to RTMP, does it just take the most recent connection as li

My city is covered by a low emissions zone so the odd van polluting sticks out. I was in Athens recently and the pollution from so many old rough cars was so noticeable (and quite unpleasant). Reminds me of how I didn't really notice c

That's exactly how it usually happens in my experience. I think a lot of people are OK if everyones upright on short haul flights (here most budget airlines don't have a recline facility and it's not missed) but once someone

I think The Equality Act 2010 would be the UK equivalent. No idea whether it would cover this - might be a stretch.

That may be true but doesn't help if not accepting the terms prevents you from using the device. On a practical level you then at best have a battle to get a third party (the retailer) to give you a refund and most people faced with th

Ah this is a positive thread so not [flagged] - gotta say Hacker News really has been shameful of late with it's shutting down of the negative stories around Grok.

I did my first toilet browsing on a Sony Ericsson K750i on Edge network. For forums it worked really well. I suspect this site would have worked well on it.

Be careful saying things like that or you'll get [flagged] - discussion of what seemed an incredibly important subject is forbidden on here it seems.

There is a new function available in their app which does similar (i.e allow for proof of posting from a postbox). They've also been pushing collection by postman too. It saves a trip to the post office which is a hassle which would be

Some fair points, but some 'crap data' has storage requirements orders of magnitudes from each others. One short video can equal a year worth of emails for someone. Similarly those many webpages that don't get viewed often pr

It looks a fantastic building, I managed sneak in for a look around a couple of years back when visiting Skopje, it was full of pidgeons and all that comes with it but didn't seem beyond saving.

I understand all the usual caveats of no expectation of privacy in public but this is very much slippery slope stuff. Say on the metro sitting opposite someone. If they pulled out a camera and pointed it in your face you'd be offended

The problem I find is with the backhaul rather than the 5G signal. I can still get unreliable internet with a strong 5G signal. Even today I find for general internet browsing is good 3G is OK and can even support a video stream. My underst

There seems to be a bit of a preoccupation with federated identity and linking communities but the lack of that is what I like about forums and web communities back then. I don't necessarily want my identity as a bus nerd cross pollina

I know the article sort of touches on it but I only recall WAP as being a sort of mark up language akin to a mobile HTML rather than a network layer protocol. My old site (probably late 90s) had a wap.mysite.com subdomain which I hosted the

Yeah, I also struggled with the purple box - I assumed I'd change the options, click run and it'd reload the data accordingly. Almost quit before I realised you have to build and then run. If the changes in the purple box were ref

I'd have thought the website owner whitelisting their RSS feed URI (or pattern matching *.xml/*.rss) might be better than doing it based on the users agent string. For one you'd expect bot traffic on these end points and you&

They could have backed down and allowed WPEngine to publish an update or even published it on their behalf. Instead they've doubled down and taken this ridiculous action that undermines the whole wp/plugin eco system. None of this

I'd argue there is a moral obligation to support open source projects if you rely on them as a cornerstone of your business. However it's not a legal one. Open source is based on idealistic and community based mindset and modern t

This whole situation is a negative sum game, everyone is going to come out worse off - Matt/WP/WP Engine, the project and all the end users. It's such a shame. If there's a solid legal argument from either side, let disp
