Re:Snatch: A simple and fast download accelerator, in Rust on Sunday January 22, 2017 @08:37AM (#13455129)

Aria2 can't manage recursive downloading. Wget can, but wget does not come with a multithreaded option.

I'm still looking for something that can do both.

Hmm 9 hours ago and some script kid has already performed this on my local vagrant-box? Pretty funny. I was running it behind vpn and I guess that's why it got exposed.

They didnt even bother changing the keyname.

Re:Spotify as a simple case study in making something people want on Sunday May 10, 2015 @02:56AM (#9519127)

The streaming part of Spotify is what makes the service great. But when it comes to improving their desktop-app they really are doing some weird stuff with their hipster developers. I think they are suffering from something that I'd like to call "the winamp effect".

Re:Disque – a distributed message broker on Monday April 27, 2015 @01:05PM (#9447607)

As a redis user this seems very promising due to the fact that I no longer have to "simulate" message queue functionality.

Re:TrackPoint (2011) on Saturday April 25, 2015 @11:37AM (#9438585)

This is the sole reason why thinkpads are far superior compared to any laptop.

And the funny thing about TrackPoint is that people that never used it doesent understand how good it is compared to touchpad.

The new "applefied" laptops are a disgrace for humanity.

Hello,I'm here at heathrow-airport and the wifi login knows my flight number is advance? How is this possible?
