Some bios and firmware support turning on at a certain time. Maybe cron was a way to simplify.

There’s one problem left with those tools: authority. They’re not pypa endorsed, that’s what makes those different from cargo. At the same time pypa wasn’t able to provide a comprehensive solution over the years, and python packaging and de

Disclosure: definitely not an airplane expert. This is a problem discovered during testing. It could mean testing is being done properly; probably it’s a bit late in the dev cycle, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing; now it’s making news

Rather than the stack as in programming languages, libraries, frameworks, to build applications you should probably focus on platforms - be it something like vercel or render or heroku, or a bit more low-level like aws lambda, pick some pla

Horrible article. You could crack md5 hashes in hours like 15 years ago. Nobody barely serious uses md5 for password derivation since long.

Why should this be a whole new product and not just a library around S3 sdk? You're mixing up server side and client side.

Everything. But what is the real alternative? Renting, with the risk of rent going up and become unbearable? I know quite a few “mindless borrowers” who did ultimately “win”: their house price increased a lot and so they are now sitting on

One of the problems that I see is that, sometimes, you must borrow beyond what you feel is your limit, because everyone else is doing the same and the market rises accordingly. So you take the “everybody is doing this so if we fall, we fall

Most cloud providers work this way somehow. Flexible, pay as you go infra doesn’t cope well with fixed pricing. Fixed price cloud offerings exist for some services, but can end up with an apparently larger sticker price.

The office has its problems as well, btw. Not all the work (especially as a software engineer) are just collaboration. And typical modern offices just suck. Btw virtual whiteboarding like miro, lucidspark, freeform, work actually quite well

Unless the comments are cherrypicked, it seems that the law is hitting the spot. It’s bad that it won’t apply to doordash & c (why?) btw, I hope it’s just a matter of time.

For running, you’d probably be right. No copyright on running. But for copyrighted content, it’s a thorny issue. You already cannot do whatever you want when you buy a book (or a cd, or a dvd); it’s for personal use unless you pay more. Sur

Seems an unlikely solution to the present problem to me, unless they can get a cross signed CA as well, they’d need a lot of years to distribute that.

Enter your VAT = business ticket is quite a common scheme AFAIK. Pycon Italy does this since its first conference (2007). A small business is still a business, and business tickets kind of subsidize personal tickets. Difference in price bet

I came here to say exactly this. Nothing in the article says that the operator doesn’t know where the red die is, and the subject cannot know that every subject is always offered the switch. So they think they’re being tricked into it. Per

4k is great and a noticeable improvement for computer work, while I agree with the article about not being so useful for TV screens, unless you go 55-inch or larger. Source: I own a FullHD 40” TV set and a 43” 4k monitor. I once tried swapp

I’m not completely sure about the attack scenario here. It seems that a bitlocker key is stored unencrypted (no master password) on the TPM device. This seems to imply that I could boot the laptop without entering a password anyway, and get

Probably depends on the country. In Italy we usually employ natural gas stoves and we use natural gas furnaces for heating, so normally you get a 3kw to 6kw max inbound power. I think you can easily get to 10kw, but above that it's qui

TL;DR: dropping non relevant information from a message saves data. Slightly misleading title and article. Nothing about lowercase saves data. Not having two (or more) different letter cases saves data; if you had ALL UPPERCASE DATA the eff

I just read up about radial vs ring circuits; I had seen ring circuits only in industrial contexts here in Italy, so the fused approach makes sense I suppose.

Why don’t you use a 13A circuit breaker in UK? That’s what we do in the rest of the EU, I think. There’s a main input to the house which usually is around 15A-30A , then we’ve got multiple sublines with individual circuit breakers, typicall
