No idea why you are downvoted other than downvoters having different political opinions that ignore facts.

I disagree with the previous comments, but wealth inequality is not a measure of wealth (or poor-ness). In a way the previous comment has some truth in it: equalitarianism and socialism in Europe is keeping us poor; you cannot make all equa

I am using 2 monitors for over 20 years (since GeForce 2 MX, my first video card with 2 outputs) and I had no problems; at first it was 19" CRT, then dual 21", for the past 9 years dual 24". I had a colleague (now retired) th

From an application manager/solution manager perspective, I see 2 main reasons and a few smaller ones: 1. more and more complex UI. Things that used to be done in a native app are now in a browser, this has good and bad parts. 2. a lot

It very much depends on their specialty. Some niche position are available once a year or less, in my country, while regular developers are hired by the thousand every month.

Unfortunately the First is the only Amendment that still exists to some extent, the others are long time broken in court, by federal and local government and police forces.

I am almost not affected by ridicule, I consider it just confirmation that I am not doing something right. But I am not offended by it and I think it works for some people, so it has a place in the world.

Not sure, but mine is changing by ~ 6% every year for the past 10 years, by seasons (yearly cycle). I started to consider this "normal".

I see myself this way, partly. I have "normal" weight from spring to autumn (by BMI), but then I gain 5 kg every winter by Christmas. Why is that? Because I am a lazy shit and I stop cycling in November, when the weather is no lon

For the last 2 phones I paid about $300, with the expectation to last at least 5 years. One did last 6 years, the current one is work in progress. At $200, current phones models are too low quality to expect to work for 3-4 years.

I just replaced my 6 year phone; some apps did not work because they required more recent versions of Android, my phone came with 7 and I upgraded it to 8. It was a painful way to see one app at a time no longer working after an app update,

It is called DDR5 - it has ECC built in the module itself. Making such a module does not make much sense if you cannot report the rate of errors, so if it is just hiding you have a bad RAM stick there is only so much value in having ECC.

by AdrianB1 4y ago
"frequently" is very subjective or relative in this context. 25 years ago I had a crash per hour on almost any regular computer, but zero crashes per month on servers with ECC. In the past couple of years I think I had a few cases

It is still a federal offence and even if there are no raids, there are indirect fights, including civil asset forfeiture or even raiding the armored transports that carry the cash from the sales. Feds are harassing the state-legal merchant

I just changed my phone after 6 years, but I did not expect the industry to suspend for all that time just because I don't need a new phone every year. Having new products every years does not suggest you should upgrade.

It is almost never about saturating the memory bandwidth, but waiting to load instructions and data from memory. That wait time counted in computer cycles is huge.

I was pointing at the Communication Act. It seems that even the Prime Minister is concerned about this: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/20267545/rishi-sunak-stamp-out... , so it looks like a real problem.

Mom and pop places are supposed to be run by mom and pop, with no other labor, so they should not be affected too much.

It makes no sense for these young workers to come. I know people from Eastern Europe use to come to work in UK because even the low cost labor was enough for them to get some money for back home, but the neighboring countries have a much hi

Norway is not big enough on Internet scale to make a difference. Equipment and software companies will put in balance the cost vs the benefit and may decide to ignore that market.

Growing up implementing IPv4, then moving to a different part of IT, I never found a reason to learn IPv6; it is something that is out there, but not relevant for me. I cannot tell if this good or bad.

Well, the seatbelt is a complicated situation; I ride motorbikes at 100 mph (160km/h) with no seatbelt (in places where that speed is legal) and I don't feel the need for one, but I wear a seatbelt in the car at 50 km/h. Why?

I think that cycling on road (not road racing) should be safe enough not to need a helmet; if it does, I don't go on that trip. If I cannot safely use a bicycle around town without a helmet it means a child cannot ever use a bike safel
