Okay, this is a new one. Websites that don't allow you to scroll if JavaScript is disabled I don't know why you would ever want to do this. Maybe if you have some extremely retarded website that needs JS to dynamically pull in content, but what possible reason is there for it otherwise? This one renders just fine except for some thumbnails. They manually add a noscroll class to the document they then remove with JavaScript. If I remove it, I can read the article without any problems. What possible purpose could this serve? There's no indication I should enable JS, it doesn't seem to form part of a paywall, and the website otherwise seems well designed. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

Holy shit, man. How much does it take for things to start happening? You seem to be relatively well-off by Venezuelan standards (educated, family), and you're still on the brink of starvation. That should leave a fair chunk of people even worse off. And even the most demoralized and obedient citizen could only keep calm for so long under such conditions. Or is that what the soldiers are there for? EDIT: On the plus side, assuming the hyperinflation continues, at least you won't have to worry about debt as long as it's denominated in bolivars.

Posted by neologixBut then there's at least a method to the madness. This is completely counterintuitive. Posted by CovarrIt works fine on my machine, and I use an ad blocker. Furthermore, it does a piss poor job of it. There's no indication that I should disable my adblocker, like one of those annoying banners, only that the website is broken. And if I resize the website to mobile size, I can scroll just fine. Man, what were they thinking? It would have taken like five seconds to put in a "you're blocking ads" banner, so people at least would understand they are to disable adblock. It doesn't serve its purpose in the slightest if you need to open the website source to understand what it's supposed to do or ask random people on the Internet about it. Maybe, just maybe, it's to prevent the old "click somewhere, ad loads while you're clicking, you click on ad" issue, but I somehow doubt these geniuses would implement that kind of feature.

FSF/GNU project still hasn't responded to my email (2019-03-23, about the N64 devkit). Anyone know if they usually take this long to get back to you? I'm not in a hurry, but I want to make sure they got it. Man, fuck email. ONE JOB, delivering messages, and it can't do it well. At this point, it's just some kind of interop protocol for gmail and friends, since they shitlist most other email providers except for the big ones. Don't even send them to spam, just silently drop their emails without notice. To make matters even worse, email nowadays just means any long-form message (e.g. not IM) sent via a computer/smartphone. "I emailed him about it on Facebook" is a completely valid thing to say. That nobody came up with the idea of requiring a captcha for each message (rather than just account creation) boggles the mind. That would make your service completely useless to spammers, while still allowing senders to remain anonymous. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

Posted by tomman No, a single email provider could implement this. It would make their email service considerably less likely to get shitlisted because of no spam emanating from there. Doesn't have to be part of the protocol or even announced, the mechanism is self-regulating, just like the ubiquitous phone verification. Of course the issue is rather that users would complain about how their obscure clients have stopped working. And you'd need a protocol extension to fix THAT. That is, make them work again, not make people stop complaining. No protocol extension for that. And because of this, we get phone verification rather than typing letters in a box. Ironically, because of these hardcore nerds, who (along with the mobile users) are the only people still using email clients. The Silicon Valley already has "solved" this problem, although I wouldn't call Facebook a startup company. Just be glad they haven't merged with the state identity databases yet, although I suppose it's just a matter of time before they do because GDPR.

Don't worry, there's a native API for it. When you start calling JavaScript native, that's when you know things have gone too far. It is a mystery though, why doesn't Firefox implement jQuery as a part of their JS engine instead of having to import 84kb of code? They did it with asm.js, which is a far more obscure technology. At this point, why bother trying to fight it? There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands.

Posted by Screwtape Not standardized, just implemented. SpiderMonkey isn't implemented with JavaScript, so why should jQuery be? Doesn't even have to be official, could just be SpiderMonkey applying some very specific optimizations based on the hash of a loaded file, such as replacing approximately 100% of functions with native ones. It ought to make the websites go much faster, and I can't see any downsides short of the implementation costs. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

Posted by tomman Are they? It seems like if you buy a $1000 smartphone and $2000 computer from them, that easily dwarfs any and all profit they could make from their ad ventures. At least this was the case a few years ago. Although they're probably going to try and transition into it real soon, because you can only sell so many computers if they're not getting any better. Soon we'll just have thin clients dynamically loading parts of WebAssembly apps, with most computing done on the back end in some data center in the US. You thought proprietary software was bad? At least then you had access to the machine code and could pirate them. You thought hash matching was bad? Just wait until Google Drive (your new storage, the built-in SSD of your chromebook requires all writes to be cryptographically signed by Google) no longer has an "upload arbitrary file" function, but rather just can ingest content from within the Google ecosystem and approved websites. You couldn't even temporarily hold content that Google didn't want you to, because there would be nowhere from which to ingest it. A camera recording done by person X would always be marked as such, there wouldn't be any way to deal with content without also taking the meta-data with you. And good luck with the encryption, by the way. Sure hope those apps get signed by Google without key escrow implemented. But then again, gracious Google will encrypt it for you so you won't have to think about it and can just get on with your life, doing the things that matter to you. Computers for the rest of us. Maybe you'll be able to continue using legacy hardware forever, but good luck connecting it to the Internet. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

And for the next episode of "poorly implemented adblock blockers": Websites that don't allow you to select text with JavaScript disabled If you have to open the source and CTRL-F "adblock" to find out what's wrong, it's not working very well. Especially not if nothing happens when you enable JS but keep the adblocker on, other than that you now can select text. And why is that? Why isn't there any information on what's going on? Right, they dummied out that part. Nothing like the reassuring old "commented out code blocks" and "ASD," the seal of quality in one string. It otherwise seems relatively competently made, it looks nice and loads fast. It's amazing. In fact, one could relatively easily develop an unblockable adblock blocker, but web developers are too stupid to actually do it. Well, I guess that's some consolation. If they'd be smart people following orders we'd all have been doomed far sooner. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

Posted by CaptainJistuce Are you sure about the subscription part? Apple's financial statements lists "Services" as 12.9% of revenue, up from 10.3%, but it's not only stuff like App Store and iCloud, but also sales from Digital Content and Services, AppleCare, Apple Pay, licensing and other services ... amortization of the deferred value of Maps, Siri and free iCloud services, which are bundled in the sales price of certain products. And perhaps most importantly, the fee Google pays to be the default search engine in Safari. According to Goldman Sachs' analysts: Posted by https://www.businessinsider.com/aapl-share-price-google-pays-apple-9-billion-annually-tac-goldman-2018-9 If they're right, that's $3 billion, or $0.75 billion per quarter, which would amount to around 43% of the 1.75 billion increase in quarterly services revenue between Q1 FY19 and Q1 FY18. That said, even after factoring out this, sales revenue is still shrinking, so if the trend continues (which it probably will), it will end up that way eventually.

Posted by tomman It's a bit barbaric, but you can just download libpng12.so.0 and load it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Seems to work fine on my machine, tested it with Crazy Taxi and it did boot, although I didn't have any controllers configured so couldn't test any further. On the same note, while it's a bit ugly, you should be able to set up a VM of Debian Jessie, make a static or even freestanding build, and then be good to go everywhere without any dependencies other than Linux ABI. Glibc doesn't like static linking, so you might have to use the forbidden technique of unity builds. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

Why not just get one of them fancy aftermarket coolers? I paid something like $30 for mine, never had any temperature issues since, even when I was into overclocking. Not very difficult to install, even for me who really hates dealing with hardware (I get all paranoid and think I'll ESD absolutely everything by looking at it funny) - you remove the old cooler, wipe CPU with acetone/isopropyl alcohol, put on new magic toothpaste, and screw on new cooler. Much quieter, especially in my case when I found the case fans weren't actually needed. You also might be able to tune the fans on the computer without physically altering anything with an application like SpeedFan. For instance, just try setting everything to max and take off the side of the case. If that solves it, good enough workaround. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.
