I was about to make a similar comment. One property of coal plants is that they can't ramp up or down very well with usage demands. I have a friend that operates at a coal plant where they installed miners to run during off hours when

What you are hearing as "suspense" is likely "sus". "sus" is short for "suspicious", and was popularized by the viral video game 'Among Us'.

I have a new Kagi account with no custom rankings and I see the same terrible results. Basically the same as what he describes. yt-dlp is not found at all, the 2010 link to youtube-dl, and a bunch of spam sites.

For non-geniuses like myself, you can just ask to test out of some of the lower tier introduction courses. I got a typically 4-year degree in 3 years this way. It's called credit-by-examination. I'm sure for the prodigy-level stud

As of a few months ago, Reddit no longer allows linking directly linking to their hosted images. You are directed to a pseudo-page that links back to original thread it was posted in. This sucks because it's now not possible to use the

I am not much of a conspiracy theorist, but after going to the Hetzner site to look at my support history I was presented with this: https://i.imgur.com/3DKc9OC.png I have never seen this page before when trying to login. M

In my experience support will gaslight you into thinking it is your problem. I had a Hetzner server that was shutting off at random hours several times per week. I showed them the sudden loss of power events in the logs. "It must be a

It is not "solved" at all. std::bitset has terrible properties and an awful interface. 1. No dynamic resize, have to know size at compile time or allocate based on max expectations. And yes, std::vector<bool> sucks too. 2. D

WD externals were extremely popular a few years ago because they contained standard WD Reds at $20 under normal market rate. Really easy to shuck the case and slap it in your NAS. I bought about a dozen myself. Of course the people who did

It is not just crypto, it has been happening in gaming communities for a long time. Sometimes it's just fishing for more of their own page views, other times it it more malicious such as offering a trojaned game client that will steal

websockets unfortunately have to start at the HTTP layer and negotiate down to the TCP wrapper layer, so you need at least a partial HTTP stack and everything else that involves to get there. This complicates things a lot. It's like st

The scripting language for Halo 1/2/3/ODST/Reach were based on Lisp. Halo 4 kept a similar syntax but got rid of the parentheses to be more BASIC-like. Halo 5 and now Infinite moved on completely to Lua. Halo 1 reference

For Mumble in particular, the devs had their heads in the clouds for so long that it is no surprise that it is no longer relevant. If you had a mic that had issues in any way (buzzing, volume, balance), "The Wizard" and "AGC&

Sorry if I did not explain it well, TAS does not mean just small helpful enhancements. In a TAS, the game is being played by the computer using a series of pre-programmed inputs. The fun in TASing is creating the most optimized set of input

In a proper system this is something that should be self-reported and not handled by the employer. An example: $Employer gives you a form to fill out with your disabilities and their Employer ID#. You fill out the form (if you get hired) an
