The Raspberry Pi is so cheap because they intentionally use really old phone chips they can get incredibly cheap.

Low bandwidth is perfectly suitable for low frequency data (ie melody). You lose some of the high frequency details (ie timbre), but it’s still very easy to recognize songs. It’s the same as recognizing objects in a 256x256px image. Try res

There’s a lot of factors that make up your credit score. Sometimes (usually?) a late payment isn’t reported until the following billing cycle (so essentially 2 months) meaning if you’re otherwise very prompt you’ll be fine. For future refer

It’s a reminder that your own stereotypes exist for a reason. You’ll never remove that from the human brain. It’s not always a bad thing (your brain takes in cues, combines them with experiences, and uses that to make decisions while spendi

I’m not sure what encoding this is, but sometimes I do QWERTY shifts. Google becomes hpphar. Easy to [en/de]code on the fly by looking at your keyboard.

Seems like ripgrep would be the optimal tool for this job. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

I’ve actually never needed to present emails to a court. I assume the overwhelming majority of people could say the same.

A bachelors degree is an undergraduate degree, ie it’s designed to prepare you for a graduate degree. On its own (traditionally) it’s not so useful, but people still accept it as the lowest common denominator of education because the world

Alien doesn’t mean “alien life form”. It means “not from here”.

I use Kitty because it’s incredibly quick (especially with the -1 flag). I use a tiling window manager and can flood my screen with dozens of terminal windows in under a second. Probably not a big deal for most, but I mostly live in the she

Good luck. Legal precedent has exactly zero impact on Google’s fair use policies. You’ll get throttled, and then banned before you get your first customer.

No, not without changing microprocessors. Essentially these chips are locked by setting certain flags in memory. Various flags control various peripherals, including a flag to disable read/write access to the firmware. Obviously once y

What part does Apple play in the web? Yes, they are a Fortune company shaping the consumer electronic world, but I wouldn’t go as far as including them in your list of golden-age-web curators.

I went back to the dumb approach of setting up keyword filters (SpamHound on iOS, which allows a Regex-similar pattern). You’d be surprised at how much spam gets blocked by a simple “http.*” filter. Of course, I occasionally do miss message

I, and many others, learned a lot about the sun when during the last solar eclipse. I held a spice shaker lid (ie a disc with several round holes) into the sun and observed several crescent-shaped shadows on the ground [0]. It turns out the

Since I was confused, this is not the same as Fallout 3 (that we all know), but an unreleased successor to Fallout 2 that was cancelled > Project Van Buren was born in 2017 as an attempt to recreate the original Fallout 3, a 3D isometric

Probably because students don’t know any better. The instructor was probably teaching them how to “npm install” and uses “sol” as an example. If you check the package.lock file it’s listed in there for each of those projects.

No, frames predate the modern internet. Actually, one of the very first CVEs was related to XSS and birthed cross-origin policies. Pretty much every exploit related to embedding third party code in a frame has long been closed.

Hmm, seems to be broken in 2022. It’s attempting to use an IPv4 address to identify me, which is obviously not unique.

This probably wasn’t even considered a few years ago, but now that most companies have figured out their remote workflows it’s just another line item.

I have dozens of group chats with iPhone, Android, and even PC users. We never encounter any of the limitations of SMS, for the same reason we can drive across the country and don’t have to constantly scan for new radio channels. It’s just

People need to stop shaming manufacturers for recalling their vehicles. The alternative is NOT letting the consumer know about these issues, NOT fixing them, or charging a substantial fee to fix them. If Firefox discovered a security vulner

The difference is that Electron is bundled with every app. If you have 200 electron apps, that’s 200x30mb. With Java, the JRE is reused so the binaries can be smaller.

Why do you have to “apply” for these benefits? Shouldn’t providing the source publicly in the open (ie not a private repository) by definition be enough for “open source”?

This is one of those gotcha that trap senior devs way more than junior devs. Growing up with C being my first language, I intuitively associate switch with a jmp table (ie extremely fast). Even though I knew it’s unlikely to be as performan

I once attended a MS workshop at my school on Azure. The speaker kept saying “open x page in Edge”, until there was a page that didn’t render properly with Edge. He was very hesitant to say Chrome.

Build software to your strengths. GraphQL is cool, but a complete paradigm shift from RDBMS. If you choose it, you WILL spend a lot of time struggling to figure it out. Flutter is a good choice if you know it, but it’s terse and barebones,
