Remember the venomous, desperate BEEP! when the keystroke buffer was full. (Or was it when pressing too many keys at once?) Like a tortured waveform generator constantly interrupted by some higher-priority IRQ. Good times.

I've had password login enabled for decades on my home server, not even fail2ban. But I do have an "AllowUsers" list with three non-cryptic user names. (None of them are my domain name, but nice try.) Last month I had 250k fa

I once had weird results with searching specifically in the Switzerland region, it didn't find an obviously Swiss site. IIRC it was solved it by switching back to international search. I'm using Kagi exclusively, and I don't

Those displaced workers need an income first, job second. What they were producing is still getting done. This means we have gained freedom to choose what else is worth doing. The immediate problem is the lack of income. There is no lack of

Uh, a company not paying money for something they can legally use for free? There are so many MIT-licensed software libraries that everyone is using in a critical place, for profit, with zero money flowing back into the ecosystem that creat

I don't think pointing out something that goes wrong under the current flavour of capitalism is the same as being against capitalism. Similarly, reporting a bad police officer doesn't really mean I'm against having a police,

That, and the cognitive load. You need to buy the right amount, remember where you stored the $5 replacements, or else spend $100 worth of your time to figure out where you ordered from five years ago. And if they are no longer available yo

Only one way to find out... float some ice cubes in a glass of water and observe. (Edit: I'm back to report the results. There was either no change in the water level, or a change below my measurement tolerance ;) (Edit2: Here is a mor

Given those time frames, maybe don't send primates. Send a computer babysitting a diverse zoo of bacteria and algae, with a variety of landing devices and instructions in what order to deploy them under which circumstances. Same proble

If you prefer short video lectures, Complexity Explorer also has a Random Walks tutorial: https://www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/46-random-walks It's a bit more visual, but still gets quite math-y enough for m

NTP will typically have about 10ms error which would be visible on this display. So for more authentic giggles PTP is recommended. With compatible switches to compensate for queuing delays and cable length. And if your provider doesn't

The post looks interesting, but I'm still building my triangle castle so I haven't read it yet. This probably means I should read it later when I'm less distracted. Anyway, already love the layout and the playful visualisatio

Now if we only could disambiguate words based on context. But you'd need a good language model for that, and we don't... wait.

Other people do, though (not mine): https://github.com/facundoolano/feedi I'm not using that one yet, but I very much like their idea to highlight infrequent sources. If I hand-added the feeds, I feel they should

This kind of thinking, that everything can be broken down into pieces and studied in isolation... it has brought us very far, but it has some hard limitations. Especially in biology, where any leak you find may serve some function. In medic

Not so sure. Imagine you have a base64 encoded payload and it just happens to encode the forbidden word. Good luck debugging that, if the payload only gets silently modified. I suddenly understand why it makes sense to integrity-check a pay

They don't exist. If you want out-of-the-box, use Jetbrains and pay for it. If you want free-as-in-beer, VSCode proper. For free-as-in-speech you'll spend hours to learn/configure neovim/helix/emacs, or even hunting

Agree, Undertale is absolutely brilliant in that aspect. Especially the beginning (the part that is in the demo version). The mood changes after that, for the worse I thought. Things got a bit more silly/naive than I like. The ending i

Yet we have laws against fraud, rape, and so on. Where do you draw the line for those? There are some crystal clear cases, and there are unclear cases where you could argue forever. So it is for advertising. You don't need to draw a cl

You seem to talk about fairness. Copyright law isn't supposed to be fair, it's supposed to benefit society. On one side you have the interest of the public to make use of already created work. On the other side is the financial in

Yes it's very odd. Using non-real images is one thing (I mean we do that with 3D renderings), but images that don't show the product correctly is quite another. It destroys all trust I might have had for them as a seller, and all

It's a very long stretch from "generate hydrogen" to "powering existing fossil fuel plants". The most unlikely part is not even creating renewable fuels (that is a stretch already), but the idea that those fuels are

You mean everything without a big name attached. Being open source doesn't play into it. (Except that it gives you the theoretical option to verify and build it yourself, or to get it from a trusted third party who did.)

The chance to get 123456 in 100 actuations is very unlikely, indeed. Would you have had the same reaction for 654321 or 777777 or 121212? If there are a hundred such patterns, the chance of getting any in 100 actuations is 1%!
