I've found that the effect of sleep deprivation and fatigue in general tends to lag by one full day on average, which makes it harder to mentally correlate between causes and consequences, especially when you're tired. In other wo

Uninformed consumers will normalize the abusive behavior and pricing by buying the product. Mocking and complaining about unacceptable business practices is everyone's right and responsibility.

Moving away from pointers and using a shared pool of handles with integer indexes will introduce a whole new array of issues. A plain int carries no information about the validity of the object behind that handle because they are carried ar

Don't learn new layouts unless you realize all the consequences – you'll become unable to use anything but your very own customized setup effectively. I'm dead serious. I once had to do a password reset to a user who could no

The number of lines in the amdgpu driver sadly does not mean that it would be usable in any way. The amount of red in dmesg is just sad when you're stuck with USB-C DisplayPort graphics.

You are not the first one who has asked that question. In case you can't watch videos right now, the short answer is "you can guess, but don't expect it to be exactly correct". https://www.youtube.com/wat

What's the legal status of retweets? From a technical point of view, the user is not making any copies but only referring to another post, and it's Twitter who creates the preview. Furthermore, how has Twitter ever been able to op

Not all combat missions involve shooting, even when the intention is to do so. Heck, if I were a MiG pilot in the middle east and saw an Eagle on my radar warning display, there'd be no chance I'd be going on a suicide mission aga

Before analog monitors got a builtin delay for changing the video mode, you could intentionally wreck the device by writing a few lines of code in QBasic, and by the time someone had already power cycled the poor machine while troubleshooti

Then there's also Bluetooth Low Energy, which is Bluetooth only in name and mandated in the 5.0 version. Apparently most news products use BLE instead of BT, unless they use a well-known profile for say, audio or game controller access

Technically that was still the easy mode ("Microprose Nighthawk") which gave you all the weapons and four weapon bays. The supposedly realistic ("Lockheed Nighthawk") mode took away the A/A weapons and left you with

In the fall of 2016 I had a lengthy email exchange with an industrial automation vendor who didn't understand this issue. I even mailed them a short Python proof-of-concept snippet that slept a few milliseconds between the write() call

While it's a valid argument, it's also a prime example of a special case that should not be the default - especially so because in my university, people were instructed to use the Linux workstations remotely for long-running tasks

Heck, that was common knowledge some fifteen years ago during my freshman year. I personally never bought those American coursebooks. For the price of one brick, I could pretty much buy all the required self-study material printed form. Aft

I've found it a good practice to add a YYYYMMDD serial number: -z 20200402 That way, keys generated within a certain time interval can be revoked with a simple serial number check.

As far as I know, attribution rights are unalienable at least in my jurisdiction. What that means in practice in larger software projects is unclear, but removing attribution for some people while keeping it for others would be against the

Any sources on this? I'm genuinely interested in how preferred flatness is somehow correlated with younger age. I know that children probably like to click on everything and explore how software works – heck, that's what I still d

Stop using Material Design altogether. It's a prime example of the current "everything must be flat and monochrome" anti-usability principle. The Windows GUI usability also peaked somewhere in the decade spanning 2000, XP and
