Not just Youtube, a lot of google services, search is also really slow for me and we also got some connection errors from pubsub/cloudsql/etc..

Indeed it doesn't work in stock KSP, but it works using a mod called Principia[1] which implements N-body physics!

Apparently the creater modeled it after Ruby on Rails, so I guess it's easier to use if you are used to that platform.

How did you access the data? Via a simple REST api?

Yes you would be correct if we were talking about imaging satellites, but communication spy satellites would be in geostationary orbit :)

The text at the last image doesn't seem right, I think the stripes are stars and the little dots are geostationary satellites. If the photographer took a fixed long exposure the earth would rotate and the stars would move against the sky, but because the satellites are in a geostationary orbit they move with the earth's rotation so it looks like they don't move at all.
This is what it looks like on a 2560x1440 resolution monitor: https://i.imgur.com/08mYqWq.jpg Yes the small column on the left is the article.
Re:Arch Linux pulls the plug on 32-bit on Thursday February 09, 2017 @02:27PM (#13610028)
Why use testing instead of unstable? (genuine question)
Looks great! Will be using this instead of pass from now on :) Any plans for adding fish shell autocompletions?
The main problem I have is graphics artifacts in applications that use webkit, for example Vivaldi and Code. Here(https://gfycat.com/MemorableIndolentDuckling) is a screengrab I made of the tearing, it mainly happens when I move the mouse over certain objects. Everything works fine in firefox so its pretty weird.
I bought a T460p a few months ago and am not very happy with it. The problem I have is that linux(I am running debian) has quite a few problems with the Skylake architecture, especially the graphics driver. I tried everything I can think of, installing the intel driver manually and installing the newest kernel(4.9.0) but I still have some troubles with the graphics glitches. So I when I'll be buying a new laptop I will definitely avoid the Skylake arch, every other version I tried worked a lot better.

Yes, but not for the current process and init
