I recently learned how modern IDE's provide the kind of features Rust LS is targeting. For anyone else interested, here is a great video explaining the same: https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Seth-Juarez/Anders-Hejlsberg...
Re:Fast.com: Netflix internet connection speed test on Wednesday May 18, 2016 @07:19PM (#11726809)
Is it inflating the results shown on Wi-Fi?

I am on a MacBook Air Early 2014 and my current link speed is 144 Mbit/s according to Network Utility, but fast.com shows between 210 to 230 Mbps on each run.

Speedtest.net results are consistent as before at ~38 Mpbs, which is what I would expect from the routers around me.

Re:YouTube-dl: Open-source YouTube downloader on Friday April 08, 2016 @09:49AM (#11454606)
User for >4 years. Absolutely love the nifty little tool. But I hated opening up a terminal each time I wanted to initiate a download.

For PopClip[1] users on Mac, I made a little YouTube-dl extension[2] which lets you initiate the download just by selecting the video URL (best when done from browser's address bar) and clicking a button. Been using it as my primary ytdl client for past 5 months now.

Sorry, I did not realize (being within a university network) that the link I submitted was under a paywall.
