Oh hey, I got where you were mistaken! :) You assumed that people who don't want their data being scraped are the nice guys and people who want to use that data are the baddies. Nope, my point was that it's the other…
Unpopular opinion here. I think that it would be better for most if scraping prevention was illegal if there's no API that allows authorised application to perform every action accessible to authorised user. Just…
I don't think I'll convince you to try the latest MM, so I've ordered the one you've mentioned (Logitech's MX Master 2). It should be delivered to me tomorrow. I'll be using it for at least 1-2 weeks just for the sake…

Ah, thank you. William James keeps chasing me.
Is it a known phrase or your good sense of humour?
Somebody, please explain me, why out of blue it became fashionable to put that native-sounding flavour of an accent in games and movies even when its story assumes almost every character in it is a native speaker? I…
Flippant – yes, interesting points – really not. My problem is with grandparent comment. I don't get how it's permissible to discuss ethics of other peoples reproductive choices.
I like how we instinctively turn to slavery when there's a grand project that becomes vital.
What concerns me the most is a wave of people who don't like learning. It's the best part of our jobs! People are complaining about new languages, frameworks, platforms, features here more and more. There's always at…
for a while now, yes
Sorry, I don't think a misused quote can justify a thought crime. It would be funny and educative if we could temporarily reanimate Mr. Clifford to give him a chance to appreciate some twisted logic that is required to…
wow, thank you. that's amazing!

Well, we really need to do some client-side computations for really good reasons. And if we hadn't, it would be reinvented pretty quickly. What we need right now (IMHO): 1. Some easy-to-use on/off capping button for…

How does it compare with pg-strom ( https://github.com/heterodb/pg-strom )?
