Just to power users? I keep getting suggestions to finish viewing last 1-2 minutes of each episode - the end credits that I previously skipped using big "start next episode" button.

They are called adrenaline junkies for a reason. That makes me wonder - can we put thrill-seeker in "rehab"? And should we?

Some monitors just have bad backlight. I had old one where maximizing terminal(which is mostly black) window caused taskbar and window handle also to turn almost black.

Last time I tried hackerrank i wasn't impressed - the problem specification was lacking, input/output wasn't defined well enough. Quality varied wildly between problems.

It worked out for Facebook and PHP so maybe that is why they want to give it a try.

> Did you read the github issues? There were hundreds of people against it. Every time github issue goes viral it ends with hundreds of useless comments full of animated gifs. That is not an argument for anything.

Storing hashes in source repo would make it very hard to manage and I am not sure if processing raw names into hashes as part of build would be any help against such DMCA request.

Makes me wonder when Firefox will be able to resume interrupted file downloads without addons.

Even more interesting will be the effect on sites that can't get "good" ads due to adult content or sketchy legality like file sharing sites.

What is GraphQL? GraphQL is all about data communication Somehow it reminds me of good old "The S stands for Simple": http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/soap/simple

Buying ASICs is high risk and (probably) high reward - in event of crash you are left with worthless machines. GPUs will still have some value, even after all crypto currencies drop.

Now it is wrapped in "SmartCloud" instead. I am not sure if that is an improvement.

As a counter counter anecdote, scientists where estimating that perfecting automatic text translation will take another 10-15 years... in ~1960. I guess hoping that future technology will solve all out problems is similar to expecting next

Yeas, what about it? Oh right, it might stop working after Firefox 57: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224 . There are people working on it but that isn't true for many other extensions t

Yeah, worst example ever. They should make it harder to make inner anonymous classes, not easier. When such code is used inside JEE/CDI/Spring Beans it leads to some annoying leaks or issues with serialization.

Lucky for us (in this case) certificate pinning is considered to risky to actually deploy in production, it is to easy to make the page completely unacceptable with single mistake. Also it looks like Chrome actually ignores pinning for prox

Maybe it is even worse when it is just few - people won't know that website creator isn't responsible for all of its content. And sometimes is hard to know who is the culprit like in https://news.ycombinator.com/it

There is an even better way to test your tests - the mutation testing, for example http://pitest.org/ . It also helps to find dead code, that doesn't have any impact on result any more.

Similar stuff is used for good for ages, for example in Valgrind or in `fakeroot` used to build packages in Debian.

PHP array is equivalent to LinkedHashMap and yes, it has 40 bytes overhead per entry in Java.

Java has also alternative approach: final a; if (predicate) { a = 3; } else { a = 5; } `final` makes it possible for variable to be assigned exactly once. Verbose but useful when "?:" is not a good f

I am sure this is exactly what is happening. It is just hard to find out and believe that something is wrong with your own memory. It is about the same as using infected OS to run AntiVirus scan. Maybe it is a coping mechanism? I would pr

Readiblity bookmarklet does just that but it is very simple heuristic and is good enough for articles/layouts with single main column.

Well, if we talk about trains ... the future is already here. Humans where deemed unworthy to drive high speed trains so ETCS[1] takes over almost everything. The drivers are in cabin for the same reasons we still have pilots in airplanes -
