Sounds like this can be fixed by moving away from animating opacity to something more rudimentary like flipping the display property in JS. CSS3 animations from my experience are a bit taxing in general, and something you want to use only in small bursts, not constantly running in the background.
Google Photos for couples is what's sorely lacking, IMO. If you share your life together and you don't keep anything from each other, having two separate accounts for photos is annoying. There should be an option to "marry" two Google Photos accounts so both can access each others photos (I know you can share photos and albums but you are not going to be constantly sharing every photo one by one when you want to share everything by default with your significant other)
They don't even have to be spies; judging by the leak, which had a number of personal and informal comments, CIA employees appear to be people too. I wouldn't be surprised if those working on government malware frequent HN just like you and me.
If I understand correctly, you could literally keep smashing f5 on an affected page and get a different chunk of memory every time. An attacker could have potentially collected a lot very quickly with a simple script.
You can always claim that you don't know the password because you use an offline password manager that you don't have with you. Also, use 2 factor authentication of course.
Maybe it's just me, but this would look infinitely more readable to me if I could tell where each callback starts and where it ends, i.e. in plain JavaScript.
Funnily enough, that's a little bit what's happening with America now. A lot of Europeans can't help but think that the entirety of the US have lost their senses electing Trump, when in reality the country could not be more divided.
"Make America great again" never stood for making America actually great, it was all along an euphemism for "Make America go back in time 50 years again", and sadly a lot of people wanted just that.
I don't understand why Facebook always gets 100% of the blame in cases like these. Don't get me wrong, I get the concern, but what happened to the old adage of "if you don't want something on the internet, don't put it there"? Are people never responsible for what they voluntarily share on Facebook? Whenever we put the blame on Facebook for the data they collect, aren't we just saying people can't be trusted to protect their own privacy on the internet? And if yes, shouldn't we change the conversation to how to educate people better on the dangers of the internet, rather bashing Facebook?
I always get the feeling that most man pages are written for people who already know how to use the commands, rather than people new to them. For example, if I already understand how tar works and have a general idea of how to use it, man tar is great to drill down and find specific options and switches that I need or don't remember, but if I have no idea what tar files are or why would I want them, the man page really doesn't help much in explaining things.
I guess you could argue this is supposed to be so and man pages are doing their job, since they are documentation and not tutorials, but still.
According to Reuters[0] about 8% of all downloads converted to sales for the full game. That's not that bad technically, but I guess expectations were high after Pokemon GO.
Facebook is massive, at nearly 2 billion users they hold a monopoly that covers most of the connected world, and it's only going to continue to grow. They are not going away.
Twitter on the other hand, it's not that they have failed, but probably that they were aiming a bit too high. Investors were likely expecting another Facebook, but Twitter is never going to become that, because it's not perceived as a fundamental part of people's digital lives. Everyone has a Facebook account, but only some use Twitter.
There's no rational reason why a PotUS should be tweeting random impulsive thoughts to the world at large. Very few potential positives, a lot of potential negatives. It's pretty obvious that Trump should not be doing this, but alas, rationality went out of the window when he was voted into office.
> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Technically, the people who believe false information and aren't critical are the problem, but I guess there's not a whole lot we can do about that, other than prevent the incentives that currently exist for fake news (ad profit)?
There is "twisting" the truth to implicitly convey a certain narrative, and then there are outright lies. Do not confuse the two: the "trash" news sites that publish blatant lies for ad profit are very real, and a bigger problem than bias in real journalism.
Really great article, I don't think I've read anything on tech PR that's this actionable in ages. You usually have a certain intuition for the points OP is trying to make (be personal, be brief, don't spam, tell something interesting), but people rarely discuss actual strategies or plans of action in detail.
One solution for this problem that is very mature and stable today is not using an iPad Pro for work on the go :)
Seriously though, as a developer I find the Surface Pro far better suited for mobile productivity, I can't imagine getting much done on an iOS device while traveling besides answering email.
Don't bother reading this, it makes a bunch of baseless assumptions and arguments (Google Wave failed because of marketing? No market need can be fixed with marketing?). It has no substance other than the catchy click-bait title.
I don't imagine that Google will become super conservative and short sighted overnight; it's probably more about managing moonshots a bit more closely rather than not betting in them at all. It wouldn't be Google if they stopped placing bets that don't pay off immediately.
From the end user POV it's a shitty thing to do, but most likely this stems from the developer making a deal with Intel. It takes a lot of resources and effort to deliver VR games with the quality and length that PC gamers have to come to expect, and the VR market is still tiny; at the end of the day you can't really blame VR developers for taking deals left and right, because it's the only way to subsidize development.
If every time something like this happens there's an internet outrage, what's gonna happen is that no one will subsidize shit (because why would you pay a developer if exclusivity or exclusive features are not on the table?), VR content development will stall as there won't be incentive for developers to spend months/years of work only to barely break even (if they get lucky), VR adoption will not go on, etc.
Something's gotta give, VR gamers need to cut developers some slack if VR is to flourish in the future, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
PHP has always been easy to pick up, so it's always going to have amateurs. These questions riddled with vulnerabilities are usually asked by people that don't understand what they are doing nor want to learn; it's not really representative of the sector of developers that make a living with PHP.
There's this SMBC comic [1] that brought up the fact that no matter your position or opinion on a subject, you can always find something to support it on the internet. When people compare growth graphs to made up cycle/hype graphs I feel it's a little bit like this; the comparison ends up uncanny because you, perhaps subconsciously, looked for graph that matched a certain narrative in the first place.
There are many ways to interpret what data says, so it's easy to fall into this trap, all you need is a certain preconceived idea and suddenly all you are looking for is confirmation, which you'll always find if you look hard enough.
