Browser default is not necessarily the same as the OS default. Even Safari on macOS (which one might expect to be well-integrated) sans-serif resolves to Helvetica, not San Francisco. It would be great if they were equivalent, but alas, the

Sure, and that’s fine. My statement was based off https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/ > dynamic metadata [(setup.py)] should be used only as an escape hatch when absolutely necessary.

by amarshall 6y ago
Probably because setupmeta seems to only supports setup.py, which this guide doesn’t use (and isn’t generally recommended for most use cases).

Huh? The foreground is #404040 and background is #F9F9F9. That’s 9.84:1 which is high enough for WCAG AAA. The background image is speckled, but even the lowest-brightness pixel is #E8F7FA which is 4.72:1, which is not AAA, but is AA.

And the A in 2FA is authentication, not storage. The password vault is not a factor because it is not what is provided for authentication, the individual password is the factor. The fact that the vault being compromised reveals both factors

I mean, if the password manager’s store is compromised, then sure, okay. But if only the application password is compromised then it’s still 2FA since the attacker cannot authenticate with just the password.

The negative effect of bufferbloat is indeed increased latency. But bufferbloat is a specific scenario—latency may be low when throughput is low even if the network path is susceptible to bufferbloat.

Sure, but Nvidia is now selling cards specifically marketed towards miners (CMP). Their goal appears to be profit, little more.

I think packages listed as “RFH” aren’t unmaintained really, just requesting for help maintaining it. Clicking-through on e.g. grub2 shows a mailing list thread requesting for help from…2004. grub2 has certainly received updates in Debian s

Another commenter upward [1] linked an archive of an older nomenclature (though not from the same time I was checking—I was just looking at Intel Ark) which details the more exotic suffixes. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/

The rated speeds are not as high, but ECC memory can be overclocked just as non-ECC; memory overclock support is mostly up to the motherboard. I have some DDR4-2666 ECC overclocked to 3200 MHz with slightly tighter timings on TRX40.

Indeed Sony can get a bit muddied within generations, especially with the PS3 as they had to cut cost a lot from 1st gen. At least “PS4” vs. “PS4 Pro” feels clear which is “better” vs. MS’s S vs. X (one is a sedan and the other an SUV, righ

Not sure when “a few years ago” was, but in 2013 (“4th gen”) Intel had more far than just “M” as a suffix for their consumer CPUs. They had at least EC, EQ, HQ, K, M, MQ, R, S, T, TE, U, and Y. Various generations between now and then have

AMD is no saint here. Knowing whether a CPU is Zen 1, 1+, 2, or 3 from its model number basically requires memorization. Zen: 1200, 2300U, 2400G, 3200U Zen+: 1200AF, 2600E, 3200G, 3300U Zen2: 3100, 4300G, 4300U, 5500U Zen3: 5600X, 5400U Nvi

Intel seems to have some aversion to using the codename once products are released, only using them when referring to pre-release. Intel Ark, for example, refers to them as “Products formerly [codename]”.

They’re presumably referring to 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T. Some motherboards and WiFi 6 WAPs are now including NICs meeting these standards but not 10GBASE-T. Still not commonplace throughout, though. Both 2.5 & 5GBASE-T are rated for 100
