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!

EdwinHoksberg··on PHP 7.2.0 Released
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?
EdwinHoksberg··on Eye in the Sky
Yes you would be correct if we were talking about imaging satellites, but communication spy satellites would be in geostationary orbit :)
EdwinHoksberg··on Eye in the Sky
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.

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?
EdwinHoksberg··on Lenovo ThinkPad T460 – A Good Linux Laptop for Development
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.
EdwinHoksberg··on Lenovo ThinkPad T460 – A Good Linux Laptop for Development
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.
