Your issue is with a person using spoken English in a text medium.

No way to convey intonation in text so people often use a question mark to convey it.

It's not an intonation thing, the idiom is "Surely (conditionally true statement)?" and uppost was verbing for some reason

Yep the SPU you end up spending so much time managing memory.

No cache they are just dumb processors. I find it funny they thought they can take ps2 vu0/vu1 and make it a processor.

The solution I use and many others is to only charge a usb battery in public, and you use that battery to charge your devices.

That works well to solve all the issues with public power ports.

You can use a brown lunch bag to microwave your own popcorn, it is maybe a minute more of work and you save money.

Not to mention you can customize the popcorn better if you like to add seasoning.

This was a shocking revelation to me.

I always assumed there was some magic technology in microwave popcorn bags.

nope. The bag prevents the popcorn from scattering, and any kind of bag or container will work

"Microwave Susceptor". Its a super thin layer of aluminum or graphite that absorbs microwaves and gets really hot. Its in the bottom layer of the bag and the reason for "this side up".

Interesting how I can get almost every single kernel to pop without burning in a plain paper bag.

Wow, I assumed similarly - that there's something in the bag that helps the air inside heat up. I guess maybe moisture in the corns is enough. I learned something new and useful today, thanks!

Guess how early (70s) microwave cookbooks told you how to make popcorn, before Orville Redinbacher got involved. Yet my wife, same age I am and read the same cookbooks, buys pre-packaged unflavored microwave popcorn from the store. </shrug>

Often you can turn off frequency scaling so you can have rdtsc still be useful.

I'd say if you're interested in performance to this level, it is useful to know both at&t inline asm syntax on top of the simpler microsoft inline asm syntax.

Static analysis will not stop most of the exploits that have happened on iOS/OSX in the recent years.

Often it is a situation where multiple processes are working together and there is a way to trick a privileged process into modifying memory in a way it shouldn't.

Two games by the same studio who are praised for their ability to tell a story.

To be honest there are only a few games I played during the ps3 era (bought it for the cell chip+linux and left it unpatched when they removed it from the firmware until the system was broken wide open), but the last of us was a great story and fun game.

One thing their example doesn't handle is browser location history on clicking elements in their UI.

Maybe it was due to how simple the example was, but having to click back many times based on how many times a user used the interface is just bad design.

Sorry about that, the example was developed as a standalone SPA with history for the routing. But since we decided to embed it into the blog post itself, the pushState routing doesn't make a lot of sense in that context.

Ah I figured it'd be something like that.

I'm looking forward to a future where we use web components.

The alarm app on iOS can run into an issue where it will not play sound regardless of any other setting. It has existed in many versions of iOS. It has happened in iOS 10 and iOS 11, I don't know about the previous versions.

They fix is to reboot the phone.

I cannot trust it for critical alarms, so a simple device by the bed is required again.
