You can set net.core.wmem_default, though that's a system-wide setting you have to override. And then you can end up with large message queues instead, if you have a lot of small messages (which is a concern in the embedded systems I w

One problem I've run into when trying to use Unix sockets though is that it can only buffer fairly few messages at once, so if you have a lot of messages in flight at once you can easily end up with sends failing. TCP sockets can handl

That's not zoom, that's just resizing the window. Instead of making things bigger when you try to zoom, it just adds more things.

No EU-regulation for that I think, it depends on the country. British Standard 1363 has had mandatory safety shutters since it was introduced in 1947 (not sure if you could still use the older British Standard 546). Here in Sweden there is

Not impossible with the Schuko, it's still possible for something to get caught in it and touch the pins when it's partially inserted, that's happened to me. It's better when only the tip of the pins are exposed, as on t

For how long do people make phone calls though? Most of the time is spent holding it in front of you, or keeping it in your pocket.

I can turn them on/off remotely, plus I've got some lights automatically tied to sunrise/sunset. And I've got a whole bunch of lights which I can turn off all together when going to bed.

At least my Acer and Gigabyte monitors have a status LED that's more easily covered. But the Gigabyte monitor will whine while in sleep mode, so you have to turn it off anyway before going to sleep. And to turn it off you you have to k

I got Sonoff wall switches wall switches a while back. But apparently someone thought it was a good idea to put Blue LEDs in them which glows all the time, even when the lights are off (albeit more dimly), with no way to disable it. Plus a

A breakdown of the theory maybe, but not of gravity itself. There is a difference between "Gravity Breaking Down" and "The Theory of Gravity Breaking Down".

Clickbait title makes it sound like some doomsday scenario, when in reality it's just some evidence of gravity working slightly differently than believed.

And maybe also consistency with the system UI, since the system UI on the PS2 (and maybe PS1, not sure) used circle for back, while PS1 and PS2 games used triangle. On the PS3 you would use the system UI a lot more, so maybe games switched

What I'm wondering is, I had data on Tarsnap, why am I only hearing about this now?

Something that immediately comes to mind for me in Sweden, is that the country is fairly long in latitude, and most of our electricity production is from hydroelectric power in the northern half of the country, while most of the population

Not just in the US. McDonald's does the same here in Sweden, or at least they used to (but AFAIK only McDonald's, and no one else). Always found that weird.

American digital TV is unencrypted? That's a surprise, here in Europe nearly all digital TV channels have been DRM:ed right from the start.

That's why I make sure to always strip the DRM off with DeDRM whenever I buy an e-book.

No, leap seconds are included in Unix time, so adding leap seconds won't change how it's converted into a human-readable date. To store it without leap seconds you would use TAI time. Anyway, sure, for scheduling something in a ca
