I'm wondering if weather patterns can drop that accuracy back to mere microseconds. Just in case, you can rely on wired terrestrial signals for similar precision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protoc

How do we ever hope to differentiate between useful evangelism and stockholm syndrome? Either way, I'm probably learning a lot of postgresql this year. I do really wish we had at least settled on one data format instead of having enou

I saw a similar problem at dhs. The contractors who run email & office software don’t talk with the contractors who run their web presence, on two completely separate domains. Lots of US gov orgs use way too many contracts instead of s

Does our CA/browser infrastructure prevent the government from registering a trusted .gov CA instead of a trusted root CA?

GSA had that chance when they wrote the rules for all government services to use https. They didn’t even offer letsencrypt, much less build their own CA. The corporate CAs wanted their cut of more tax money.

Systemically, conscription can be "better" if it is randomized and includes everyone. "Volunteer" Armies just means that rich parents can decide to start wars without worrying that their kids might be sent to fight.

I would think a high maintenance partner would be a turn-off for anyone chasing FIRE, anyways?

You want about 15CFM fresh air per person to address CO2, which is 14x less outdoor ventilation than 5eACH recommended interior filtering & ventilation. For my small, crowded house, at least.

Let’s go back further. You can’t just limit your own personal engagements to non-electronic ones. You also need your entire network of connections to not be tainted.

Or you could save $2k on materials & labor, and put in a filtered vent fan. You only need around 15CFM per resident. Household HRVs & ERVs have suspiciously low heat efficiencies for their costs.

As an engineer, I care about the other products of monitoring: tickets, alerts, reports. My management? The people with the money? All they think about from that stack is the graphs they can view on Grafana.

The sad thing that sticks in my head is that, if you’re the person who could afford the higher tier ad-free experience, you’re also worth more to the advertisers than people who can’t afford ad-free. so if ad-based free tiers are profitable

I'm sure there's an academic word for it, but after some point, popularity can simply breed more popularity, without any actionable, functional reason. Get popular enough, and people will find it worthwhile to publish reasons fo

Aldi requires a quarter to use a shopping cart. If you don't return your cart, someone else probably will for a quarter per cart.

It became acceptable along with containers, so that the very OS the script is working on, is already isolated and disposable. You also mentioned dozens of packaging solutions. Which package manager should a single developer target first?

Building a resilient p2p service on the internet doesn't just require not using big name SaaS, it means building that service to not need the WebCAs or even DNS, two core services that are anything but p2p. I honestly don't know o

What editor takes care of your parentheses? I haven't found anything quite painless enough for me to want to dive into all that punctuation. Are you talking about paredit? Parinfer? Something else?

Not sure I could enforce QoS priority on the wireguard traffic. Easier with a non-guest SSID. Is there a huge performance benefit if there's just one SSID running in my airspace? Also, for the OP, sounds like it's time to put th

Adblockers are arguably worse to a company than piracy. Pirates often argue that they aren't causing a lost sale, because if the product wasn't free, the pirate customer simply wouldn't use the product in the first place. Pir

I don't notice that effect from IF, but I definitely notice irritability when I'm restricting calories and actually losing weight.
