Neither. Calories.

tf2manu994··on The Problem with AMP
>near impossible

Check the link rel canonical tag. Obviously not ideal but nowhere near "impossible"

tf2manu994··on Show HN: Kitty – A modern, hackable, featureful, OpenGL based terminal emulator
Love cmder! Only problem I have with it is if you drag and drop something in the window when it's running the Linux subsystem, it doesn't automatically convert the path.

Awesome, thanks.

Would embedding the output of the desktop app in a GitHub pages repo be allowed
tf2manu994··on How Font Awesome 5 Became Kickstarter’s Most Funded Software Project
Wouldn't the end-user be able to download it from the cdn anyway? Would an alternative not be to allow them in an open source repo provided that the owner adds a readme to the folder in which the font resides, telling the end-user to refrain from downloading?

Edit: what about an open source non-electron web application? How would they use the font?

Would the license not spell out trouble for anyone using the svgs on a GitHub pages site?

I currently do this(tf2manu994/manmeetgill.com on github, gitlab and bitbucket), and I am a backer for pro. Does this mean I can not use the pro icons on my site without forcing a user to download the entire iconfont?

[Yes I know, the markup on my site is crap, currently in the process of reworking without mdl]

tf2manu994··on S3 static site with SSL and automatic deploys using Travis
Yep, theyre great. One major problem for me is that their build logs are in pure Black, and don't have any colour output. Also, afaik you can't set up a multi stage build step, like Travis.

You can fix this using the intellij toolbox
tf2manu994··on Warning: a corrupted video currently crashing iPhones
Would like to note that the file is the culprit, so it could be sent by whatsapp and the like and be very easily rehosted.

Seems to effect all the way back to iOS 5 (tested old ipod, couldn't test further back).

tf2manu994··on Three mobile network has today begun intercepting all encrypted network traffic
At least it stopped now. Really wonder what happened though, preparation for the adult content filters?
tf2manu994··on Visual Studio for Mac Preview
I believe you can use xcode command line tools to build using appcode. Haven't used in ages though, so don't quote me on that
tf2manu994··on Code I’m Still Ashamed Of
Expected this to be a "the code I never wrote" thing, from there blog name.

Then thought it might be a "lol look at my bad code that I wrote 6 years ago"

Pleasantly surprised. For more, I recommend"the gift of Fire" by Sara Baase.

Linked to archive as it was taken down, probably was meant to release at Connect() next week

Since August, no.

tf2manu994··on You Don't Need
If you want to compile to windows, you absolutely do.
tf2manu994··on Launching Our Crowdfunding Campaign
Fees, and its not that great for the recipient. Better for those sending. Being a bit hypocritical though, I use it myself.
tf2manu994··on MacBook Pro
Not OP, but r/crouton works pretty well
tf2manu994··on Git – Pushing to Multiple Remotes
Not entirely sure if this fits the site, but since the github news hit, I was trying to configure a way that doesn't make ssh confused with multiple keys.
tf2manu994··on Introducing GitHub Community Guidelines
If anyone else is planning to leave, consider doing this:

    git remote set-url --add --push origin https://gitlab.com/name/repo.git
    git remote set-url --add --push origin https://github.com/name/repo.git
    git remote set-url --add --push origin https://bitbucket.com/name/repo.git
This way when you git push, it pushes simultaneously to all 3.
tf2manu994··on Introducing GitHub Community Guidelines
To be honest, the repo maintainers.

Unless someone is doxxing, I see no reason for gh to step in.

tf2manu994··on 5 Simple Math Problems No One Can Solve
I think they mean something a great deal faster than just dividing by each number to check.
tf2manu994··on Plans for an electric car charging point in every new home in Europe
Not really a fantasy. I would prefer to own my own, but I can see why people argue that it won't be a thing. I find it inconvenient as hell to not own one, though.
tf2manu994··on How I built a multi-platform app
That's actually really interesting. Wonder if he updates the iOS app himself now.

Side note: I feel this comes up every time go is mentioned by why call it go? It is so hard to search for, especially if someone has titled their SO question with go instead of Golang

tf2manu994··on Plans for an electric car charging point in every new home in Europe
While this is a hell of a lot better than the current system of non-electric, I feel that people owning their own car won't be a thing after cars are self driving.

After they are, I think people will just call for a car and it would drive to you and pick you up. Obviously this won't work for rural and off road areas, though.

tf2manu994··on Firefox Launches More Experimental Features
No, safari is popular because it is the only browser that uses the macOS battery saving APIs. Chrome and Firefox guzzle battery.

Not great with large files.
