Wow. That’s... bold. One suggestion, maybe have it email your dosing to a trusted person so a human being can at least establish whether the numbers look approximately right? Although that still doesn’t cover any mechanical failures unless

The way it was explained to me was that you generally have two options: to be shackled to “maintenance” work (work can include just thinking/worrying) putting up with things as they are, or you can solve your problem once and forever.

BTC’s layer 2 method also doesn’t scale because (among other reasons) you still need on-chain transactions to handle opening connections and creating wallets, which the main chain does not have the throughput to do at scale. That’s also not

I respectfully disagree. I’ve worked on products where field serviceability is a design goal. It absolutely can add complexity and cost - after all, it’s another design constraint. Rivets and glue are faster, cheaper, smaller, and often mor

I don’t think your first sentence is accurate - there is no single standard definition for right to repair, and I have absolutely seen people saying that right to repair includes an obligation for manufacturers to redesign hardware so repai

AKAIK Amazon was a hodgepodge, with the front end being mostly C with a custom templating engine that could (eventually) run a subset of pearl for scripting. More C/C++/Java/Pearl was using for backend and internal tooling.

One thing that is a bit amazing to me is that there are all sorts of absolutely bonkers rules to English that 99% of people can’t describe, but do subconsciously anyways. Things like the order of adjectives (“big red ball” sounds right, “r

As somebody who loves PHP, some PHP mockery is deserved. The standard function naming and argument ordering is inconsistent and stupid. It throws errors written in Hebrew. There were fundamental decisions made that harmed web security for y

The 3060 has been out for a few months now, and it has the limiter. Re: your edit about noticing, I strongly disagree. Tech reviewers would LOVE to run the “limiter cripples Blender/Tensorflow/whatever” story, but that hasn’t happ

GPUs have been doing this forever. This is exactly the same as some features being enabled on quadros that don’t exist on RTX/GTX/GT cards. That’s (mostly) not silicon, that’s just firmware. This isn’t covering any supply chain fa

I think this argument falls apart here: “the user's *configured* selections”. 99%+ of users don’t configure anything and just have the browser’s defaults. This isn’t because they love the defaults, it’s because they don’t know/car

I don’t think anybody is aiming for statistical-research-publication level rigour on the data here. Yeah, it’s not an ideal proxy for genpop, but it’s far better than nothing. The goal here isn’t to be able to say 1.454% of users try featur

This is why a single chart on imgur is bad and you should go to real sources. The way M2 was calculated changed in May 2020, a fact that should be on every reputable page containing that graph. https://www.federalreserve.gov/

But it’s sort of wishy-washy maybe-technically-but-never-once-been-enforced illegal. Not “actively enforced and we can send your CEO to jail” illegal (like export control or whatever), which companies would actually take seriously.

Agreed. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at had a single 8.5x11 slip of paper for the main menu (and a weighty tome for the wine menu). Another place we never even got a menu - the food just started appearing, much to our confusi

True, if you’re running a clickfarm a higher CPC means more revenue, and that means no adblocking and opting in to all tracking... although maybe that makes it easier to identify you as a clickfarm?
