Right now (2023-12-07 evening) I get a popup that advises me that ad blockers are not allowed. In the upper right corner there is a timer that turns to a check mark so I can dismiss the popup and watch my video. Thing is, I've watched

Did HN destroy the site? When I click all I see is "Bad Gateway". Anyway, I use the app and find it helpful. I'm astonished that the microphone on my cell phone is sensitive enough to pick up birds up in the trees.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on something related. My cousin found a mechanical pencil (in my recently deceased uncles desk) with my late father's name on it. My father's been gone for nearly 60 years so this pencil went way

Thanks for clarifying that. Sounds like a training ground for the artists (until they are fully replaced by digital tweening.)

So the 21" NEC and Hitachi monitors still cluttering up my home lab might be worth something? I could never bear to dump them because of what they cost me new. They work well when I need a console on my ancient server hosts because the

Question: Does this mean that animators draw every 2nd or 3rd frame and then some technology interpolates the missing frames? It sounds to me like that is not fundamentally different from interpolating 24 fps to 60 fps. I suppose there are

I'm a little sad to see this. I've been using ZFS on my PCs for years with minimal issue and significant benefits. [1] I've even contributed [2]. And I remain a huge fan. I don't believe that "everyone is just guess

Yes, my method too. I'm a little disappointed the article did not mention this. Since lime juice is an ingredient in my guac, that's handled and I don't have problems with the guac discoloring unless kept too long.

Is the book labelled as fiction? I understand that early versions of NT emitted error messages identifying itself as OS/2. Did the book explain when NT became "brand new OS from scratch". I think there's been a bit of re

That doesn't address the constraints that are typical in embedded systems such as limited memory (RAM) and the expectation that a program will run forever. There are resources oriented toward embedded C++ that address these (at least m

BMW K1200RS and R100R, the first of which was in the list. I selected R100RT for the latter and it looked close enough. The positions looked right.

This caught my attention because I'm obsessing about storage performance (again) and have included a kernel build in my benchmarks. I found and followed the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/BuildADebianKernelPack

I wonder if that argues more to AI vs. Human "editing." It seems to me that an AI would be less likely to catch that when it's composing a story from sources in the Internet.

GP has a point in that a laptop is much less likely to experience unplanned power loss because of the built in battery. However that does not help desktops which also use NVME SSDs. The other problem is that this doesn't only cause pro

Did MS do anything with Linux before Sataya? At present I believe that the bulk of their Azure hosts are running Linux - their own distro. And AFAIK it is successful.
