I don't. I use KeePass, well now I guess it's KeePassXC, and I keep up with my onsite backups. There have been way, way more problems with 3rd party and cloud based services than I've had with my private system. I've su

Some months ago there was an interesting article here about some startup using "AI" to determine the precise design of compressors for a given refrigeration design specification. In that article it was suggested that getting the e

Everything about YouTube doesn't fit my interests or preferences... to such an extent that I use YouTube-DL for almost all the things I watch off YouTube. Recommendations are almost always garbage and I have no idea why. I also think

Surely a significant part of the problem is subsidies for entrenched, petroleum centric, industrial agriculture. Subsidising already successful business as usual corporations has got to make improvements through external disruption extremel

Well that's not especially credible.

This is an excellent analogy.

I despair that the market is more interested in things like mobile apps and LED equipped RAM than serious in-depth technical reporting on microprocessor internals.

I'm sorta surprised that I've not yet seen someone focusing on van-dwelling, digital nomad types that are living in RVs and converted vans full time.

I absolutely hate using a standard computer keyboard to control a machine tool. It's all wrong. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that my mind is in completely the wrong mode of thought. Anyway it just doesn't jive. So fa

Recently I've taken up metal machining as a semi-serious hobby. Fully automated CNC machines don't entirely fit my use-cases but for a couple of them LinuxCNC works fine. The primary UI for LinuxCNC is a touchscreen and frankly

Back when we were all agonising over "Hanging Chads" in Bush v. Gore, Bruce Schneier published a series of collaborative works featuring the back & forth design of secure paper ballots + digital voting. So that was what? 200

The title needs to be corrected. The Fiat S76 is One Hundred and Eight years old.

Yeah there's a few degrees of separation between the people who wrote the claims (and have to defend/support them) and the people that did the testing... and then substantially more between those that did the testing and those who

I am a big fan of machining and metal working videos. Whatever changes YouTube did last year basically gutted that niche, with many channels simply abruptly giving up mid project. I have no idea what exactly they changed but from my perspe

Because they have an extensive framework of public policies to foster these kinds of industries.

When they first did their kickstarter they were talking about doing a follow up with 64 cores and being able to connect them together with those fancy pants connectors they had going on. I was all set to buy four... and none of that ever m

Creating ghettoes by segregating and concentrating people into certain zones or buildings based on class, national origin, or perceived race is bad public policy that has many unwanted bad outcomes.

The number of casualties is horrific and hard to understand. I'm not a huge fan of anime but I understand that this is a major studio with a long history. So I'm sure that this will have a major impact on the entire industry.

Presumably this is same sort of tech that is used in the T-Shirt spam that plagues Reddit.

Tarsnap is extremely up about what they're doing, how much it costs to use their service, and how it works. What they are not doing is offering the service for free or some flat rate and then finding non-obvious exploitative ways to mo

I've been using Lisp off and on for pretty much my entire adult life... at least since the mid eighties. It doesn't seem like a failure to me.

One would wish but alas a common mode of business is that people who consider themselves users sign up to use some service which is presented to them as being free, when all the while that company's actual business model is monetising

Sorry no. I should have been more clear. I'm suggesting that the way Tarsnap organises its billing might be a good way for customers who buy VPNs to be sure that their browsing info is not actually the product the company offering the

What about one which was run sorta like Tarsnap?

From another comment in this thread: "The author’s have a paper from March 2019 (in arXiv) that uses the result to build some novel telescope geometries."

Hey wow! This is exactly the info I needed and it's for the platform I use. Thanks!

For me I think the best UI for YT-DL would be in the context menu in Firefox. This is where I am most often when I see stuff I want to use it on and while I always already have a terminal window open, it would be nice not to have to switch

Man the early Walkman was a magical device. I got a latter one and mine was barely larger than an audio cassette case. The only access to music I had was from a friend whose older brother copied a seemingly random collection for us to have

I don't have a huge social circle but in it among the professional devs I am the sole person for whom OOP style does not mesh well with their brain. I've known most of these folks since the '80s and something that we've
