> Sync propogates accidental deletion This is true, but it's so worth noting some sync products (e.g. Seafile) can keep a history of changes, allowing you to restore deleted files. Sync is not backup though, as you allude to.

As a non-American, this seems... fine? Are there legitimate uses of a suppressor I'm unaware of, or are they truly only useful for clandestine violence?

Has anyone here found uses for it, perhaps for domain-specific string compression?

Plus, don't GSHPs need quite a lot of land for the piping? Houses in the UK are built on the smallest possible plots of land :( It's normal for temperatures in Scotland to dip below -5C over winter - do ASHPs not work at those tem

That makes sense, thanks for explaining!

Hyper-V does support memory ballooning (dynamic memory allocation from host to VM) - is that what you mean, or do I misunderstand? This does need support in the guest VM, but I've only ever had issues with really old Linux distros.

This is great, thanks, and I appreciate that's it's commented too! Also like the "negative" commented out config, that's something I often do myself with footguns that feel "obvious".

Do you have a blog perchance? I'd love to read more about this, maybe with fully-featured examples.

I have this love/hate thing with prawns and lobsters, prawns especially. They taste so, so good, but if I'm presented with them unshelled/unprepared, I have to try hard to silence my revulsion as I pull off insect-like legs w

I'm not the GP, but I've had a similar experience, with the Caddy docs seeming good for simple configurations, but lacking for more complex ones. I last setup a Caddy config maybe 6- 9 months ago, and everything related to client

Lack of seating (outwith the conference rooms, I mean) is the absolute worst! Actually, I don't think I've ever attended a conference where there were enough seating and tables, which is super annoying at lunch time.

I used Fireworks for years for web design stuff - it was simple to use, but fully featured, a real joy to use. As soon as Adbobe bought Macromedia, I knew they would shitcan it because of Photoshop and Illustrator. And I knew other nice

What's the high availability story like? (I realise it might not be implemented yet, but presumably you have an idea of how you want to do it)

I drove a BMW x5 a couple of years back, and it piped fake engine noise into the cabin. IIRC, it was a petrol v6/v8, so was quite capable of making it's own sound, so the whole thing was pointless - but worse, the fake engine nois

As a counterpoint, there are plenty of people here in the UK legally treating anxiety with cannabis, who do so because it greatly helps them.

I'm always coming across airline and hotel sites that don't work for days at a time, or which don't work in Firefox etc. Latest was EVA Air a week ago. When I think about the money these kind of sites in particular must be lo

It's not only governments pouring cash in, but private equity too. With all due respect, it seems ridiculous to me that fusion is a "meme technology" - aside from money, are all those many thousands of scientists really wor

I don't understand this; if fission reactors were "better", we wouldn't be pouring so much into fusion? Also, if it makes a difference, I didn't mean we'd be bolting a first gen tokamak to a container ship; I

I agree. If we were able to eventually miniaturise fusion reactors, they would be incredible for space flight. Back on Earth, if they could be made safe enough, maybe we could even use them to run container ships?

Surely school libraries should also encourage kids to read, by having books they actually want to read? Not everything needs to be maths and science!
