I love this, and I wanted to use it when I was suffering from a bit of sleeplessness in the past month or so. Unfortunately, my brain gets stuck in a loop trying to figure out when the audience noise loops. There's one guy who makes th

I’m pretty sure this is because they don’t want Gemini saying things like, “based on my stored context from our previous chat, you said you were highly proficient in Alembic.” It’s hard to get a principled autocomplete system like these to

There's typically a button to toggle it on/off somewhere near the steering wheel. I got a new car a couple of months ago that has this, and was experiencing similar issues on rural Texas farm roads. I just had to look up where mi

The main rumor these days (well, it's been a rumor for quite a few years) is that they'll be dropping Intel and switching to house-designed ARM chips across the board.

Unfortunately they no longer offer a free month of Prime for a late delivery - I believe too many people were taking advantage of that perk. The last few times I've bothered to complain I've been offered a $5 credit instead.

Now we just need ShareX for OS X (and have it deal with the damn hidpi screenshots correctly).

When this was posted on reddit there was a bit of confusion as the title lead people to believe this was about an alternate cryptocurrency (like litecoin, feathercoin, etc). It's actually a complete reimplementation of the Bitcoin protocol

Didn't GitHub's progress-bar screen while you were waiting for a fork used to say "Hardcore forking action!" or something like that? I think I have a shirt that says something along those lines too. Weren't those guys celebrated for their i

It was great to see in action, but given the way the system is right now it wasn't that incredible. The maintainers of the biggest pools are all very active in the community; it would just take 2-3 of the big mining pools to say "hey, let's

The choice was made for backwards compatibility. People are still running version 0.3-0.7 of bitcoind and up to this point that was not a problem. If we decided the 0.8 fork was canonical we'd lose a big chunk of the userbase.

Under settings on the iPhone there's the option to completely wipe the phone. Before you give your phone to someone else you should do this. Otherwise you were still logged in to his iMessage account.

Holy crap. Normally stories like this don't affect me very much. I'm on my lunch break, on the verge of sobbing. Is somebody cutting onions? Part of me wants to delete all of my chat logs so that I can never relive this stuff if something w

Height distribution? I'd much prefer a wingspan-based distribution. There's nothing like getting stuck in a middle seat between two broad-shoulderd gentlemen.

United/Continental does this (basically). First class first, followed by their frequent-flier-tiered passengers. From then on, it's back to front.
