But newer processors use less power at idle, and doing work faster means it can spend more time at that idle, low-power state.

How does that work on the command line? Does it reject your push? Or is this only for people editing on the github website?

In your search settings you can add keywords. So if you set ? as the keyword for google you can type '? foobar' into the address bar to google for foobar.

Nobody said your hobbies must be productive. But some people prefer it to be, and I don't think it's right to shame those people as if they're just chasing dimes or denying part of what it is to be human.

Productive is all relative anyway. Children learning by playing is productive, the productive part is the learning that is a byproduct. Working on a project car is fun in itself. It doesn't become less fun if the person doing it is a professional mechanic. Would you tell a person who plays games professionally in an e-sports league that they must do something else for fun?

I think it is a sign of good life when you find a way to get paid for doing what you enjoy. And if you enjoy it, then it is still fun when you do it outside of work. The productive benefits of it do not make it less fun.

I work on programming projects I find fun. What makes it recreation is that it's something I want to work on, I don't have others imposing deadlines or requirements.

A mechanic can enjoy working on his own project car in the off time.

Both of these things are productive in a way that playing games isn't, but they're still recreational. It's not spending your life chasing dimes. It's looking at the different recreational things you could be doing, and choosing the ones that also intersect with being productive and have a side-effect of helping you professionally.

I wish more people would maintain separate accounts for professional and personal use. It is annoying when someone you follow for their technical knowledge makes political posts that are very tempting to respond to. I think the key to healthy twitter use is being able to just scroll past those.

Twitter and reddit, if you tune what you follow correctly, are invaluable for keeping up with the things that are important to you professionally. Especially if you are responsible for security, following the right people on Twitter is the best way to make sure you know about new vulnerabilities quickly.

Twitter and Reddit are flexible enough that you can use them strictly professionally and be better for it.

That struck me as odd too. I never pick up my phone when I have my computer in front of me. Everything my phone does, my computer can do better, including taking and making calls and texts via google voice.

This movie came out at the perfect time in my life to have my mind blown and develop a budding interest in philosophy. I loved that when the ultimate DVD collection came out it contained commentaries from academic philosophers who discussed what it might mean, instead of the movie creators giving definitive explanations.

If the data is to protect yourself against criminal accusations, there's not really a time limit after which data can be safely purged.

They could be accused many years after the fact.

Looking at the current chrome documentation it does not appear that web BLE offers the ability to enumerate. The browser pops up a dialog allowing the user to grant access to a specific device.

I think this is actually superior to the security offered by mobile apps on android, which can enumerate bluetooth devices as soon as they have bluetooth permission.

From a security perspective you should consider what users are already doing and if introducing a feature can be better security than that.

Users are already installing local applications from untrustworthy hardware vendors just to interact with bluetooth devices. I think a web bluetooth standard is an improvement on that.

Notice the prompt to select a device: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/07/interact-w...

I think this mitigates these security concerns and improves security around Bluetooth devices generally.

Today if I want to do use the advanced configuration features of for my headphones I need to download a local application and install it. A local app from has way more unwanted permissions and tracking ability than a website. In the future it could be as simple as visiting their website and clicking allow when the site requests bluetooth access.

Temporary tab containers are a great alternative to a dedicated browser or incognito mode.

But this buys you nothing in anonymity to the sites you visit. The IP you use to access the internet is still a single IP tied to you via a billing account with your cloud provider. A commercial VPN service NATs your connection out with thousands of other customers.

So it all depends on what you want to use the VPN for.

I think this should have been an issue. Open an issue with the original error, document the troubleshooting in the comments of the issue, then close the issue with the commit.

Be smart enough to determine if your interests align with the company's interests before talking to HR. Sometimes they do.

I'm going to ignore your last line, only because my top priority podcasts are all very short (5 minute) news briefs.

I wonder if these remote working tools come from people who worked in an open office space. I have an office, and before that I always had a cube. If somebody wants to start a conversation it starts by knocking on the door, or the entry area to my cube.

I'm not used to the idea that somebody on my team can just start talking and assume the team will hear them. So I don't feel the need for that kind of communication with remote employees.

It's just a hyperbole for packing the court. Allowing one president to appoint >50% of the justices so that the court always rules in their favor instead of waiting for seats to be vacated and re-filled.

Video is good for concepts that need visualizations, though a good blog post with animations or illustrations can work too. Video is required hands on demonstrations, like how to fix something on a car.

But videos showing somebody write code or commands is infuriating. There's no need for that. A blog post with code examples would be much better.

I'd be a machinist. I love watching machinists on youtube turn a hunk of metal into a useful part. It looks like it has the right mix of problem solving, thinking and labor.

They wanted to support the ability of others to b̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ interrupt you without feeling like they were interrupting.

When I ran i3 without xfce if I wanted a battery monitor, I needed to find a daemon to do that. If I wanted an icon to adjust my volume, I had to find a daemon to do that. I wasn't getting notifications from apps because I forgot to install a notifications daemon. XFCE gives you all those things built in, and many more that can be easily added to the panel without having to go find another app.

So bookstores of old basically provided the service of Amazon? Today people who prefer bookstores to ordering online typically do so because they want to browse the shelves of books.

I've never had a problem with service staff splitting bills in America. I've heard it's a problem in Europe, but then again I've also heard that tipping is not commonplace there.

To add to this, if you just use i3 you may miss some niceties from a full desktop environment. Fortunately it is easy to run xfce and replace the window manager with i3.

How does that work anyway? If you decline to allow the site to store a cookie on your machine, how does the site know that you already rejected the popup to avoid showing it to you on your next action?

The fact that the authors death factors in at all automatically makes a young person's IP more valuable than an old person's. That's a really dumb system. It should expire x years after creation and the author's death should be irrelevant.

Is that relevant when comparing parsing json with parsing literal objects? I don't know much about JavaScript engines but I'd expect that parsing literal objects in code is also blocks the main thread.
