I can't help but mention that one of the methods is called a Weiner Filter.

Heh.

Re:Https hurts users far away from the server on Friday March 10, 2017 @11:10AM (#13839627)
That can be fixed just as easily as reducing the number of requests.
This is extremely fascinating! It seems like an almost un-pc fact.
Re:“A state of flow can be achieved by deep work” on Thursday February 23, 2017 @05:42PM (#13718558)
This is an interesting concept, but it still requires self control. I could browse all day if I wanted but I WANT to get more work done, but I cant help it. But when I get into that state of flow it seems like nothing can tear me away from my work.

I'll try this.

Back button doesn't work at all for me once I scroll partway down. It just bumps me back to the top of the article and then loops infinitely
Re:Ask HN: Coding notes – how do you do them? on Thursday February 02, 2017 @03:26PM (#13554322)
Atom has an extension that allows you to mouseover a base64 string and see the image output
Re:Updates to our Google Voice apps on Monday January 23, 2017 @10:24PM (#13468560)
Hangouts API is discontinuing, and the app is buggy as heck. We've already moved away from it and are experimenting with in-house solutions or looking for alternatives. Slack is too pricey, everything else seems shite.
Re:Google AMP Is Not a Good Thing on Monday January 23, 2017 @10:09PM (#13468502)
I really like AMP. As a web company, it reduces our hosting costs and is a cheater way to improve the rankings of our sites.
Emojis are an effective way to communicate something in a small space. Ideal for commit messages.

Re:Which editor/IDE do you use and why? on Friday January 06, 2017 @11:57AM (#13337875)
I use Atom for frontend web dev. I don't particularly love it, honestly.

I used Webstorm from Intellij when I was doing pure JS work. Loved it.

I'm considering going the full Intellij suite, but the cost is prohibitive.

Looks a bit like Jeff Daniels in dumb & dumber aged 10 years.

Good find though. This is really fishy.

What evils has Vistaprint committed? I'm curious. I know their products suck.
Re:Cheap and Painless eGPU Thrills on a 2013 MacBook Pro on Monday January 02, 2017 @05:49PM (#13305200)
This is really amazing! I will be keeping an eye on this tech, as I do a bit of gaming on my mbp. It seems obvious that the prices will continue to fall on these components.
Plus it seems clear that many of the leaks were leaks, not hacks. RIP Seth Rich
Re:Firebug lives on in Firefox DevTools on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @03:47PM (#13223764)
I will say that having firebug open did cause major performance issues for regular browsing, but the performance of inspect element was quicker.

I am just happy they are really making an effort to improve the tools overall :)

Re:Firebug lives on in Firefox DevTools on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @12:16PM (#13221762)
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. When I click inspect element, it first opens the dev tools and then inspects the body and after a moment of loading it hops to the correct element.
Re:Firebug lives on in Firefox DevTools on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @10:38AM (#13220702)
The new dev tools are really sluggish compared to firebug. The new features are great, but hitting inspect element takes like 2 seconds now.
lots of carb-ons and fiber.

I've had a great experience with Bluebuds + iphone 6. The quality isn't perfect compared to wired but they are fantastic for the gym and such.

This is exactly what is happening. They are doing a lot more here than what it seems.

No, but it is possible to get integrated into those communities. Normally you need an agent at first.

This sounds like the kind of thing that will get abused if widely adopted.

This is an excellent website design. I'll definitely be checking this software out

I also can't stand the lack of plugin support on Safari. Is uBlock origin or similar available on that platform yet?

25% faster is still a joke. I want 100%!
