News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

NVRM

You are not much into electronics as I can see.
So this seems useless for payment, but here is the real hidden interest:

You can send a file up to 10Kb, and pay for byte sent.

It's cheap, coast looks to be $0.0035 for a 5Kb file.

The receiver can get the file, encrypted, without internet, using only a SDR tv card, amplifier and antenna, worldwide, in 10 minutes.

I see there large possible applications!!!

It depends on your goal. If you are looking for performances, many times, the good team practice isn't the fastest, or simplest.

What about writing quick units tests and make your own comparisons? What is working nice for you, is probably the best way, anyway!

I am enjoying my K70. RGB lightning is a major advance, regardless your level at typing.

This should be doable and fun to bring to oldies, corsair uses this TI chip family: «TLC5958 64x64 Led driver matrix». http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00161

Yes, a lot, getting worse facing a slow network.

But dragging or middle click to a new tab is following the link. This looks a lot an issue between the numerous javascript trackers and my browser ad blocker. But no.

Nice command. Cockpit-bridge has a very good name!

This should be a huge warning.
Re:Show HN: Tableau-Like Data Visualizations in JavaScript on Thursday October 11, 2018 @02:41PM (#18195994)
Exactly what I saw. This isn't a matter of slow server, but some examples are taking way too much ressources. Freezes. In the case of many charts in the scope, as i need refresh every 10 seconds, this will turn in blocking in no time. Testing performances in firefox debugger is already freezing with one chart and no refresh, and i didn't see the garbage collector be significant. (Memory leaks..) Too bad that charts are good. But performances should be a big warning.

« ... calls between JS and WebAssembly are faster than non-inlined JS to JS function calls. »

Good note taken.

In comment from the admin: « In other news, we hired our very first Head of Security, and he started 2.5 months ago. » No comment.

«Old salted and hashed passwords» This sentence mean: All hashed were readable. It also mean, if they are still needed on their servers, that they are probably still in use. It would had been easy to salt this hashes.

First fix holes, then redesign...

Slowing down a computer is useful when programming, but isn't easy to do. I had made my own tool to slow down network connexions, maybe useful to someone: https://github.com/webdev23/kamtar

The graph part is pretty cool. Is it doable to use this graph for any kind of data? Or maybe someone know a tool to trace similar graphs into a terminal?
