I believe parent main point was about environment impact though.

Would you mind please sharing your specs?

I usually use geany for my day to day development due to it being extremely lightweight, highly recommend it.

The only thing it annoys me though is that the indentation detection heuristic needs to be a bit better (i.e. https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1008).

AMP header breaks even Chrome UX for me.

It somehow ends hiding the address bar and replacing it with the AMP one once I've started to scroll down, and the only solution is to scroll all the way to the top again.

I have the address bar set to never hide, which makes this even more annoting.

I believe the term you are looking for is "transpiler".

I'd expect it to be either public domain or uncopyrightable.

Hopefully that's the case.

I do not have any sources, but I'm pretty sure litre (or liter) is used very extensively, across the ocidental world at least, including Australia. What country are you from?

That's the mobile provider fault, not Android's... And no custom ROMs are necessary for root usually.

Also, what makes you prefer macOS UX than Windows or Ubuntu? They surely have their downsides, but I don't think they're THAT bad to the point of not even touching one.

Those aren't hardware-focused companies, but I'd say Adobe and Autodesk do quite well on maintaining high quality products (and, like Apple does, being pricey)

> It makes web pages actually usable.

Overriding the default scroll behavior, so as to make the user have to scroll to the very top of the page to display the browser address bar is really annoying though.

Besides that, I often do prefer AMP pages due to them loading faster and wasting less data.

There's a link to the homepage in every single page of the website, it's the image of the logo.

While I agree that it's not obvious, that's a common practice (Hacker News does the same) so you should probably keep that in mind.

I like the fact that everything loads really fast and the file encoding is informed.

I disagree with the notion that they're ambiguous at all. Foxit and Fox-IT have quite a noticeable difference in their names, IMO. (although they do have the same letters, so I get your point)

There are USB disc readers, USB floppy readers, USB to RS-232 cables, you name it. No need for SATA. They usually aren't very expensive either.

I do not have an formal math education, but I'm fairly sure what you quote is part of the Arithmetic Progression concept (the sum formula more specifically), so taking a look at the arithmetic branch of math might be a good idea.

Wikipedia[0], MathWords[1] and Brilliant[2] might be some good resources for you.

Very nice game, but I couldn't enjoy much because of my high ping. I'd like to see an South America and Africa servers. AFAIK AWS provides South America servers for Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Are there any plans on letting anyone host their own servers?

That's exactly what I thought open source meant. How can a source be open if not everyone can read it? I didn't get your comment.

You work in Redox almost everyday and at System76, that's pretty impressive, IMO. Kudos to your work.

I am no security expert, but if a machine in the local network gets infected and tries to access your ME, then NAT can't prevent the attack. That's the only other vector I can think of.

I was under the impression that you could see it when clicking the "[-]" at the right side of the comment metadata. But it seems it's just the number of child comments, my mistake.

To be fair, HN hides a comment score until the user decides to see it.

> There were open source project that tried a more heavy handed way of architectural management, and they failed - such as GCC

A lot of people have been moving to clang, but I'm quite sure GCC is still strong. What do you mean by failed?

A link backing this claim would be nice too, as I couldn't find any (although I just probably didn't search it right).

I see nothing wrong with using the γ-ray nomenclature, but writing gamma ray instead would surely make the text more readable IMO.

I think it's a valid criticism, not sure why the downvote rain happened. Too snarky, maybe?

Unless you really mean that they did this for the purpose of saving a few bytes, then I disagree with you.

> How could this possibly be zero? If a town's ISP has a bandwidth of 100Gb/s and has a demand of 200Gb/s by their customers, they can:

IMO, if you're selling more than you can provide, you're already doing it wrong...

It's not acceptable to prioritize some content over another when having the appropriate infrastructure would solve the problem.

> invest in bigger infrastructure and pass the cost down to consumers (which is not zero cost as you claim)

People will be paying for the product anyway, I don't see anything wrong with charging the cost of production/maintenance + profits (altough I suspect their profits might way higher than they should, and not being used to improve the ISP's as they should. I do not live in US though), that's what most other sellers around the world do and I really believe it's the most appropriate model.

IMO, a game price shouldn't be about how many hours of gameplay it provides...

$30 for a mobile clicker game just seems too much to me. I don't think it holds so much value.

NES games were a lot harder to and took more time to produce (we're talking writing the game in assembly for a lot of them) and had less effective tools at producing content than we have today.

You also had to assembly the cartridge and transport it to the retails. Hardware was not as cheap as today (nor was transport I believe).

Compare that to your 2017 mobile game which can be distributed via internet (very cheap), produced at a high level language, and you can make in less than 2 weeks with less than 4 people.

Agreed. I am getting irrelevant results WAAY more often than I used to, and it only gets worse.

tl;dr: The author discovered the identity of two guys (which were not explicitly disclosed) running a big network of bots that targetted man attracted to young, sometimes underage, women.

Those bots would point to video chat services, encouraging the man to masturbate himself while viewing pre-recorded videos of a girl masturbating. Then, the person would be threated to give a ransom or else have the video leaked, with the additional threat that he was masturbating to underage woman sometimes.

Fraudulent porn websites stealing credit cards were also shared by the bots network.

I also receive a lot of those (around ~5 a day, for more than 5 months already). It is really annoying and makes me wish I could just block numbers on my phone.

> Any mental model you had at week 1 is now irrelevant as the code has changed in unknown ways.

Isn't that what good git commit messages are for though? (Or any other source code versioning tool.)

I'm not saying tests aren't useful, but often times I find reading a file diff history is way more useful to understanding it than its tests.

IMO, tests should be there only to provide some level of feeling safe modifying files, as you can easily know if you messed up something.

I think you meant WebKit for the iOS version?
