There is a "back-channel" way for most sites: sitemap.xml Many sites have it, since it is helpful for SEO. Examples: https://www.1500days.com/sitemap.xml (Wordpress) https://dri.es/sitemap.xml (D

Normally yes, but I think an exception is allowed in this case due to the irony of the person being oblivious to an article talking about people being oblivious.

Mind boggling. Though now I know that for all HN commenters, truly "nobody knows what's going on" (in the article).

Speaking of RSS, and this feed specifically, it is the only one (of hundreds that I subscribe to) that periodically spams a set of old posts into my "fresh" feed. Some backend change that causes unique identifiers or something to

Myself and my three siblings all have young and growing families with stay-at-home moms. Incomes ranging from 80k to 200k (guessing some), fairly LCOL in North Dakota. Most of the parents involved are what may best be summed up as "g

Images of what I imagine to be their yearly performance goals rush through my head as soon as it turns to victim, race, oppression, etc. "25% of stories uplifting Black voices" etc. It just seems so forced.

From the context, it seems you mean repointing, not tuckpointing. (As described in the Wikipedia article you link, which admittedly does make an allowance for some regions using the terms interchangeably.) But, the true meaning of tuckpoin

I prefer https://satellitemap.space/ You can see the base station locations there, which is helpful in visualizing how the system works in various locales.

Same as basically any physical lock can be trivially picked. Yet no one is buying office door locks based on pick-resistance. Burglars will smash their way in anyways.

I do the same in ICE cars with automatic transmissions and it seems just fine. I think the torque converter handles the opposition elegantly.

And a huge win that it makes it so easy to have distributed storage. Ceph is built-in and works well. Being able to add disks as needed is bliss (no RAID planning up front). And the rebuild situation is better than any RAID. Performance

Back in the flip phone days some people had little dongles hanging from their antennas that would light up seconds before the text chime went off. I guess it sensed the incoming transmission?

I don't think that is possible. How would you own shares in multiple companies where the shares are owned (exclusively? mostly?) by employees? Any mechanism which facilitates outside ownership erodes the effect of being ESOP.

Better to build a garage, plant a row of trees, or steward a community organization. Something that you can show your kids and be proud of. Open source software work even. Some entertainment being necessary, I feel the vast majority of pe

I just set up a three-node Proxmox+Ceph cluster a few weeks ago. Three Optiplex desktops 7040, 3060, and 7060 and 4x SSDs of 1TB and 2TB mix (was 5 until I noticed one of my scavenged SSDs was failed). Single 1gbps network on each so I am

Yes. Most network switches can handle all ports at 100% utilization in both directions simultaneously. Take for example the Mellanox SX6790 available for less than $100 on eBay. It has 36 56gbps ports. 36 * 2 * 56 = 4032gbps and it is st

It is only tens of gigabytes, no need for fiber to handle this. The 37GB of files can be downloaded in 1 hour on an 83mbps link. (1gbps is 450GB/hour, useful for estimating things)

On the Falkirk Wheel you don't have to deal with weight differences at all, regardless of the size of the ship. The ship displaces a weight of water equal to the weight of the ship. So when filled to the same level, a side with water

You get two VARs, one with Dell and one with HP. Then a couple back and forth negotiation rounds and you will be paying 40-50% of MSRP. Or even try to do it direct with your Dell/HP reps, since VARs are of dubious value.
