VS Code + The Remote SSH extension is a remarkable solution to developing code (not just editing!) on a remote machine. When Covid hit and my main work machine was still a desktop, I worked from my home using VS Code and the remote plugin.

At this stage, native Linux releases are becoming less and less likely because of Value's efforts to improve gaming on Linux, as paradoxical as that seems. Proton is getting better and better with each release, and in many cases, is pr

So far I've yet to see a convincing argument for what "Web 3" is and can offer that we can't currently do without the use of a Blockchain. It all seems to boil down to "it'll cost something to do something&quot

I did, yes. I set it up with some specific conditions that sent him an alert whenever a house similar to ours became available. In the end, he got the house directly next to ours and very similar in design. Our garages actually share a wall

I own the house I currently live in because of a script I wrote. We had been looking for a new build for some time and had settled on a development and specific house we wanted to buy, but it was still months away from being released. We we

I've used Linux as my daily driver for near enough 20 years at this point. I'm not arguing that people wont use Linux because Microsoft have bought some studios, I'm arguing that they might not use Linux on a device designed

I am very excited by the Steam Deck and have paid for my place in the queue (hopefully some time this year). I am a long time desktop Linux user, however I also game and have either had to dual boot, or more recently, game inside a Windows

Very few schools in the UK have a HVAC system. Some of the more modern ones perhaps, but the majority of schools in the UK are likely older than the students grandparents.

This is my understanding having spoken to a couple of teachers. The only real option they have to increase ventilation is to open windows, however when it's below freezing outside and windy, this isn't a good solution and doesn&#x

Whilst this looks interesting (particularly to anyone running PostgreSQL 11 or earlier) it's worth noting that PostgreSQL has support for SQL/JSON Path [1] as of version 12 and provides similar functionality without the use of an

After seeing this and being a bit disappointed it was for Mac only, I wrote a very quick and dirty script for Linux that does something similar [1]. Probably has lots of bugs and missed edge cases (although it should handle not unmuting you

I'm not certain that's a valid argument - if anything it's rather "apologist". They are annoyed because the phone is unusable for a period even when connected to a charger. Every Android phone I have ever used will

Sony XM3, Bose QC 35 or Bose 700 - try them all and pick whatever is most comfortable. Noise cancelling in all 3 is good enough that you're unlikely to be able to tell the difference.

140W is considerably closer to the stated 105W TDP value of the 3900X than a "95W" 9900k which can easily pull down 180W. Whilst I agree that TDP shouldn't be taken as gospel, at least in AMDs case, it can be a useful approxi

by JamesMcMinn 7y ago
Intel measure the TDP based on the base clock, yes. However AMD seem to measure it based on what the CPU is likely to draw with boost clocks over a sustained period of time, so their TDP numbers are quite accurate.

Nope. I am still down £209 and have gotten no further. I have: - Sent them a video of me opening the 2nd delivery to find playing cards (Literally from opening the Amazon box through to finding the playing cards inside the Samsung SSD box)

As far as I could tell, none of them actually contain tweets (e.g. any JSON), just IDs, and mostly user IDs at that.

On a quick pass of the Twitter datasets, they all seem to conform to Twitter's developer Terms.

Sounds like you got a lemon of a paste job. My XPS 15 is able to run with a full load on all cores for hours at a time. Similarly, gaming on it doesn't seem to cause any issues. It's possible that external factors are the issue (s

The reason that Bing and DuckDuckGo have such similar results is that DDG uses Bing's search API, so the comparison here is only really between Bing and Google.

by JamesMcMinn 8y ago
Except that's not even remotely the issue being discussed here. This is about artists going to people who are already experts in their field and having them construct the art, but taking (or being given) all of the credit for it.

You may not be aware, but Twitter's share price took a rather large hit yesterday specifically because they banned 10s of millions of bot accounts. They have no issues letting the public know how many accounts they are removing. Having

This is a terrible title and should be changed. The story has nothing to do with unmasking anonymous Twitter accounts, rather it is about using metadata to identify posts by the same user from a dataset which has had specific user IDs remov

They do address this fact in the paper, and in fact note that a simple KNN approach using only the account creation time gives 99.98% accuracy.
