I only use OpenVPN regularly. My internet connection is either 100Mbit or 1Gb both up and down, but depending on where I am the actual external bandwidth varies - mostly it's around 50Mbit end-to-end, subjectively. If I send data at ma

The problem with TCP compared to UDP is when you do VPN over links where there's some amount of round trip time. I routinely run VPN over a 300+ ms ping times, and any TCP-based VPN suffers dramatically when doing a TCP connection thro

Prehistoric peoples were often living a nomadic life, and then you just can't hold on to more than what you absolutely need.

Yes, it's that.. you can easily find someone with regrets of having thrown something away which actually turned out to be useful later (I've had lots of those types of regrets), but it's very rare to find someone saying &quot

Nothing happened to my RT-AC68U, and I just checked - it's (at least) a couple of firmware releases behind. I also checked my RT-AC2900, and nothing happened there either (I haven't checked the firmware version, but I have not up

My exact experience as well. We use XFS for every system at work which needs lots of data input/output and large amounts of files. Never had a filesystem failure.

What you describe was common on the SGI systems we used at work. Some setups had a configuration file which was constantly written to and read from, and that file would be (most of the time) empty if there was a power failure (I don't

Exactly. Japanese translations to English almost never match sentence-by-sentence, but then again a direct translation wouldn't be what an English-speaking person would say anyway.

Speech recognition won't do much for my language.. with no official spoken language (and that's not wanted either), but hundreds of very different dialects. Anything existing right now is pretty much useless, but on the other ha

Yes, that's a problem. I can read English as easily as my native language, but other languages like Spanish, German or Italian I can only read slowly - and if I read slowly I don't get "into" the story. So yes, I wish I

When I was young someone decided to publish Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine in my native language, as a series of short books (i.e. not like a magazine at all). As this was a series, the publisher used a relatively small group

Rick Beato made a video or two about that. His son Dylan has perfect pitch. What he did when the boy was very little was to let him listen to various types of jazz music - he can't be certain, but his theory is that if the music is &qu

That's simple pitch memory. I started playing guitar at 12 and at that time used a tuning fork - and I noticed that after a while I could hear the "right" note of the A string in my head and I didn't really need the fork

There's a story about the opera singer Kirsten Flagstad (1895 - 1962) from when she performed at a small place somewhere, singing opera songs with just a piano. Afterwards one from the audience actually complained directly to her that

What you describe sounds like pitch memory, which doesn't have the same qualities (and problems) as actual absolute ("perfect") pitch. I also remember pitch. I can grab my guitar after a week away from it, touch a string and

In my (at this time very long) experience people don't know what a programmer does, unless they're programmers themselves. In fact, whatever I say about my work ("programmer", "data processing", "computer-

I for one wouldn't enjoy being asked any of those questions.

I work with computers, but telling people what I do has always been very tricky. They won't understand it anyway. As another comment said - in Europe it's not that common to ask what people work with. It's definitely not th

I can't even find anything which works as the simple Palm "ToDo" application. No free ones at least. PalmOS had this developer requirement that nothing should take more than 3 clicks. I used the ToDo tool as a shopping list.

Ignoring everything else (as in - that wouldn't make a difference in practice due to the rate etc) - in this particular case, if you look at the posted code, the memory allocation was done a single time, so the issue as about sound qua

The difference between analog and digital is that with analog you get precision problems if the quality isn't good - typically you don't get the high frequencies through (i.e. you have an unintentional low-pass filter. Maybe you&#

Someone told a story about how he (or she, I can't remember) brought an audiophile friend to a classical music concert. The guy had never actually been at a concert, but had a huge classical collection at home. He didn't like the

If it screwed up some bits you would have a useless memcpy and your applications wouldn't work, but as far as audio is concerned you have the additional problem that, unlike what audiophiles believe, it's not like those bits would

by Tor3 4y ago
memcpy wouldn't, but memmove would. memcpy doesn't check for or care about overlaps (and therefore the result is unpredictable - it'll depend on the implementation)

Definitely, yes.. particularly with HDMI cables and similarly complicated tech. But the problem is then that they basically don't work properly. The problem with audiophiles is that they think that these kinds of digital problems are l

A mere hundreds on cables? Obviously that's not enough to get clear instrument separation or presence.. you must spend more: https://www.referenceanalog.com/products/nordost-valhalla-2-...

I was just showed an ethernet cable by a local hifi shop.. $4000. People are buying this stuff. A joke is a joke, but I don't think people will actually spend that amount of money just to keep up a joke.

I didn't think flat-earthers existed for real. Then I came across them on the good old internet. At first I thought most of them would have to be trolls, not really believing it.. but then you realize that so many of them get extremely

I used to be a member of an amateur wine tasting group.. and someone figured we should serve some snacks while we were testing the wine. Turns out that with cheese most red wines taste almost the same, unless they've gone bad. Or at le

I saw that earlier claim that ones are heavier than zeroes.. could you explain what that even means? And what kind of effect that's supposed to have? I'm genuinely curious about where that comes from.
