In small quantities.

Not one that you need to trust.

How do you even find what book to read without reading articles about them? If people told you about them, how did they find them?

Didn't Nintendo have a javascript game engine for web based games?

Found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Web_Framework

And I remember (from a decade ago as well) having to recompile my kernel to use those binary graphics drivers :)

Well they have a monopoly on tube sites, I don't think they'd care enough to keep their content outside the few others.

BTW, CreativeCommons BY-NC-SA porn videos is a great move.

> Long term crew members have found themselves replaced by inexperienced people willing to do their jobs for lower pay. The quality of videos made under these conditions tends to suffer.

Do people care that much about video quality in porn? Hopefully the people gone can use their experience and go to higher payed industries.

I wonder if rescue teams could use some sort of portable cell towers (thinking something like the Google [streetview backpack](http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/trekking-grand-canyon...) to find cellphones and people.

Very interesting, thanks!

Why is someone looking at your cellphone not in the same privacy level as someone reading your mail? Would customs officials ask to read your letters?

In Firefox you can right click it and change the play speed. It only allows you to change to 0.5x, 1.5x and 2x but if you want some other speed you can simply open the console and do `document.querySelector('audio').playbackRate = 1.3`

Only in the latest publications.

Nim?

This is interesting, I thought in order to use a fully independent client you needed to store the whole blockchain. Which clients support this?

> And of course, flash blocker will now kill less ads than before. Damn.

That was my concern too, but I guess the only difference will be you'll have to block a bunch of scripts and images instead of blocking just one flash file.

Why does it matter that Flash persist if it's being converted to html5 on the fly anyway? By the way, the swiffy service Google offers has a extension to Flash (the authoring tool) so it can output html5 directly.

I already said this in another thread, it's not about switching databases in one project, but using the same skillset across projects regardless of the database.

It's not so much switching databases during a project, but using the same skillset across projects regardless of the database engine used. SQL syntax is different enough across databases to require re-learning it.

SQL is nice but most of those features work best when the user is a finance person doing reports (which was the original purpose for SQL, I think?). Developers don't want the sql server to format their numbers as money, that's a work for the UI. The main reason for me to use an ORM is to standarize on one way to retrieve data whatever the database engine is. Maybe an intermediate solution would be better, like a query builder or a sql-like syntax that transforms to the correct SQL for the database in use like Doctrine's DQL.

It does?

There's also bttn, posted here a couple of months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8263007

Multitouch events perhaps?

So it's a case of Not Invented Here? or more accurate: Invented By the Enemy?

Music with no lyrics for me. Mostly jazz, not really repetitive.

pastebin's horrible {design|font choice|wrapping|what}?

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's {egg|bacon|sausage}, {egg and bacon|egg and spam}, egg {bacon|sausage} and spam, {spam|bacon} {spam| spam spam} sausage and spam, {spam|egg} spam spam {bacon and spam|sausage and spam}; spam {bacon|sausage|spam} {spam|spam bacon|spam tomato bacon} and spam

If only there was a way to review the reviewers...

Pragmatism tells me it's easier to trust my cpu than it is to trust someone's server in the other side of the planet.

Reminded me of this https://xkcd.com/915/

And the query stays in your version control instead of the server.
