That may be precisely the problem.

I used Duplicity (via the Gnome Déjà Dup GUI) for years, but Borg turned out to be a lot faster at making the backups, at least for my laptop home dir backups. Like an order of magnitude faster. I don't think I ever tried to hand-confi

A couple of years ago at work, we came across a Linux (virtual) server related to a customer project that had been running for some 2.5 or 3 years since the last reboot. Pretty much by accident. I think we rebooted it for good measure (appl

That doesn't necessarily tell you what the solution with the optimal cost of x is, though.

"Maybe you're hallucinating", let alone "let's say you're hallucinating", is a really weird take on someone thinking of a reasonable semantic distinction even if you disagree about its existence or relevan

Docker Desktop requires a paid licence for companies with over 250 employees. While that's totally fair, it can add red tape if you want to use it in a project. I'm not completely sure about licensing for Container Desktop but the

My approach is typically to follow some kind of a guide or tutorial and to look into the man pages or other documentation for each tool as I go, to understand what the guide is suggesting. That's how I handled things e.g. when I need

They could still have gone for one decimal. Or possibly even none, considering the magnitude of the SE, but I get that they might not want to say "SE: 10%". The second decimal point doesn't essentially add any information bec

Yeah, it does seem fishy. The third company seems a bit weird to include in other ways as well. In raw numbers in table 1, there seem to be exactly zero effects from the use of CoPilot. Through the use of their regression model -- which int

It's probably worth going a bit deeper into the paper before picking up conclusions. And I think the study could really do a bit of a better job of summarizing its results. The abstract and the conclusion only give a single percentage

For what it's worth, a (former) team mate who was one of the more enthusiastic adopters of gen AI at the time was in fact a pretty good developer who knew his stuff and wrote good code. He was also big on delivering and productivity.

The same people might also dunk on public projects funded by their own governments. But I think they may not be quite aware of: 1. How many present-day things we take for granted have been enabled by basic research, sometimes on weird or un

Apart from the one-time pad or something equivalent, I don't think anybody can fully guarantee (to the point of mathematical proof) that any particular encryption is mathematically unbreakable. The existence of true one-way functions i

Yeah. The per-cup prices seem to assume that. They might be somewhere in the right ballpark for that, although even for cafes, the price actually varies a lot depending on whether it's a speciality coffee. Correspondingly, the total

> "persuasion" gets a bad rap because most people assume you are persuading someone from a good place to bad. The opposite occurs often as well. Persuasion can be questionable even if it's not malicious. People can persuad

Looks like some of the patches discussed in that bug report work around the problem by disabling PSR-SU for the specific timing controller my display also has. Those patches are in current kernels already. So basically the problem is gone f

It was on Wayland. I'm not sure if I tried with X. I can't remember the details of it. It effectively hung in the sense that I couldn't get the system into a usable state again locally without rebooting. I'm not sure if

I initially got somewhat frequent hangs on Fedora with a Radeon 680M iGPU (in a Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U APU). The hangs stopped when I added amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 to kernel boot options, based on some comments in an AMD Linux driver bug report

Irrespective of copyright, the moral right to attribution is central in all kinds of academic research. I agree that research information should be free of paywalls but that doesn't remove concerns about proper attribution. You can thi

It seems that at least some theorists believe the P vs NP question isn't even provable using our current axioms, and that a proof would require new mathematics.

Entering the BIOS menu takes several seconds on my ThinkPad, and getting to the EFI boot menu from there takes a few more. That's after hitting the key during the correct time during the boot process, which sometimes takes guessing. In

AMD did become at least competitive in high end CPUs with the original Athlon or Athlon XP. Not sure whether they were faster than the Pentium 3 but they weren't trailing. So perhaps a bit more than a couple of years, but my impression

Some people are passing through and only stay at a city overnight, or are just making a day trip, and getting a card and returning it for a deposit might be a hassle. You might be visiting multiple cities within a brief period, each with a

Ok, that makes sense then. I know that systems with non-disposable cards exist, and we also have one in the Helsinki metro area. I think our present system assumes continuous connectivity, though. Now and then you see buses with the termina

I'm not sure that necessarily explains the need for single-use NFC tickets, though. There could be a more durable serial-use or permanent card with NFC that regular commuters could buy, and if those commuters are the vast majority of r

No worries. Too bad that nothing worked. Screen sharing for support is probably a necessary problem I didn't think of much since I happen to live close by. It'd absolutely need to be something that requires minimal effort from the

If they're non-tech-understanding enough, it might not matter at all. Someone who's oblivious enough may use the computer as more of an appliance (plus web). I had my ageing parents set up with a Linux desktop for some years in th
