What previously was a tap on the shoulder is now a message and a tap on the shoulder after three minutes if there is no reply. Slack has become the worst possible amalgamation of email and telephone. When previously minor things were discus

Anecdote: My most exhausted coworkers are those who openly admit and talk about using sleep trackers. I believe that the effect of sleep trackers is mostly psychological and they work in the same way all those self-help books do.

Ironically, most legacy C environments are commercial in nature. Open source tools seem to have a lot better track record in this regard.

Jens Gustedt suggested the following: memset(malloc(size), 0, 1) The program will crash if malloc returns NULL or the memory is not writable.

You increase the limit and notice it works just as well as before. Then you'll increase the limit again, and again, and again... This is called "normalization of deviance", and it's what caused the destruction of the spa

I've never understood why trade unions, who are supposed to represent the masses, often support environmentally disastrous enterprises.

You're not "making a server" when you set up a Slack or Discord workspace, no matter what they want you to believe.

This. I'm using OpenVPN for ethernet bridging, which Wireguard cannot do.

by anilakar 7y ago
Wireguard is a great solution for a secure, high-performance data pipe. However, it only supports layer 3 static routing by itself, which by itself fits none of my typical use cases. If you're willing to think of it as a secure control

Any responsible adult who knows the collective environmental effects of cryptomining will refuse to take any part in it, regardless how small they are for running a miner script for thirty seconds or so.

It had to cross layers, because the original implementation was flawed. The $vendor had designed the their protocol stack well, but implemented it against the very spec they wrote – for example, the outer protocol frame length field did not

I've written some really complicated code that crossed layers (due to a third party embedded & unfixable system working against the spec) where each line had two to three comment lines explaining why the operation below was necessa

Not trying to mock anyone, but linear algebra is basic university level math.

Another falsehood, altough it goes against the POSIX standard: the epoch is midnight in UTC. There is at least one obscure Unix-like OS (can't remember the name) where the epoch is 1970-01-01 in local timezone

Correction: unlimited as long as it takes Google to fix this oversight in quota calculation.

They do however leak their local oscillator through the antenna, albeit at really low signal levels. Two ham friends experimented with slow FSK across the room.

I still haven't fathomed why ETSI chose AMBE+2 for DMR. It's a codec made by an American company for compressing American English speech and it works reasonably well for that purpose. However, most speakers in my native language s

The custard probably mostly acts as a resistive load and mechanical support. Actual radiation happens in the wires.

If you're willing to experiment, you'll find out that you can tune pretty much anything from a random spool of wire to an iron frame bed, and in this case custard. I've found that an inductively coupled sausage is a nice matc

Oh? From my international viewpoint HN is very pro-Apple biased.

In a libertarian society, a government using tax money to provide services counts as nation state sanctioned violence, but a private company doing the same for profit is called entrepreneurship. EDIT: Keep it coming! Every downvote proves I

This is totally backwards. Here the local gov't is encouraging people to use their electronic services so that they don't have to deal with endless stacks of paper forms.

I used TPM authentication with libsimple and recommended it to others with the assumption that I wouldn't need to back up any usespace data when when upgrading the system. Turned out this is not the case. Not only do you need the TPM p

Whoosh. Luckily I have karma to burn. If there is a real free market where consumers have a real choice, it can be argued that the system works, even if it's a race to the bottom. Even you indirectly admitted that most markets aren&#x2

When someone complains that a free market does not work because it's not truly free, I always remind them that communism failed because it wasn't true communism. /s

Most telemarketing and scammer calls originate from UK, Norway and Sweden here. I used to ignore foreign numbers completely, but being on-call nowadays and having customers abroad prevents such easy countermeasures.

Well, VoLTE and VoWiFi (urgh, that makes my eyes and pinky hurt) are using SIP already... Does this apply to end-to-end SIP calls only?

Nokia is just a name on the phone. The trademark licensee is HMD Global while engineering and manufacturing has been outsourced to Foxconn, a Chinese company.

There's a running gag at the local polytechnic: All the engineering fields have one thing in common – you measure data, put it into a matrix, calculate its covariance matrix and find the eigenvectors and eigenvalues. In the case of rad
