We have all deps in gits. A build tool takes care of everything. I get all necessary source gits checked out, configured (e.g. change prefix) and built. If I change something (which is my job), rebuilding is just a 'make' away; an

With root it's easy to mess up the system badly ("I'll just fix that small error") and/or let all systems slowly diverge. And if something fails on my workstation, it will fail on many others as well and needs a coo

This. SO MUCH THIS. We use docker for our CI, which is mostly okay. But we devs don't have root on our workstations, so we can't just load the docker image and test stuff in the CI env. Enter podman: I've written a small perl

As someone who spent quite some time with MMORPGs, I think a huge problem is the neccessary time investment to get a lot of the "more interesting stuff" going. In other words: A MMORPG usually is equivalent to the epic pen&pap

With the recent problem in sudo, I suspect this to be a likely cause. The typical shared hosting stack uses that somewhere, so servers will have it installed. A fast, malicious user (and a slow update process) is enough to get root on one m

What language does teach avoiding passing functions? C++ is typed, and passing a function just involves telling the compiler "yo, listen up, this parameter foo is a function taking two ints and returns a boolean. Let me know if I messe

Welcome to "cyber", where shooting the messenger is how threats are dealt with. I'm not really surprised at the attack vector, though: For professionals it is pretty obvious, but for a non-technical decision maker? Not so muc

We're running our builds and tests on both Windows 10 and Linux. At least for Windows 7, the compiler start up time had a huge impact on total run time. I think back then we had 2500 tests, each compiled, then linked, and then dwarfdum

Which Sennheisers? Their 25 Euro in ears broke on me as well (C25x?), but as a pupil I couldn't afford better and just burned through some of those. Time lapse to a decade later, and I got myself the HD650. They sound exceptionally whi

Oh, did the old ones already have replaceable cables? I got a shorter cable with a different plug for my HD650 from Aliexpress for ~24US$. Incidentally, one of the reasons I got the HD650 was how my headphones/headsets broke every othe

Going by their annual earnings: Probably? I wouldn't expect for Apple to sell any memory without a huge markup, so let's not focus on the 4x for this paragraph: In general "cheapest != worst". The combination of memory a

Depends on the city and the student. E.g. Munich is known to be quite expensive. 2000 Euro would probably still be comfortable there, but 1000 Euro would probably require quite some frugality. At my alma mater (SW Germany) you could live on

We build static code analysis tools, used by companies building safety critical stuff (planes, cars,...). If you're failure mode is "there might be fatalities" over "the app crashes", this becomes really valuable. C

Does this also hold when using drivers like the ones built by Trinamic? A servo is essentially a feedback control loop, ensuring your motor will slow down if is reaching its torque limit. As I understood the data sheet for the Trinamic cont

I'd expect the "receiver"/pot to deform the field enough as to not matter anymore at those distances. Plus, inductive hobs around here tend to detect the presence of a pot and not just try pumping 2kW of energy into &quo

Haha, I think your [0] is pretty much the common case for most who care for good sound. I had that setup once (35m² dorm room with a bed, a couch+small table, cloths rack and a desk - and two 1,40m/4.5ft speakers in the middle of the r

Hats of to the demo scene in that regard. (Some of them just should do less drugs ^^")

Probably depends on the use case. On a budget car I can see where you're coming from and I agree. However, in the more expensive range I was thinking about, not so much. These can have pretty good audio systems (some even come with DIR

You don't really need a full blown retro computer for all that. There are plenty of "modern" (as in "in production and in use") 8 bit embedded CPUs out there. Arduino/atmega comes to my mind, just ditch the IDE

Not sure why this ~is~ was downvoted. IMHO that's a quite realistic scenario on how IDs of private videos might "leak".

Not sure what you're saying with that second sentence. There is legitimate reason to have some zip ties, yes. I don't know the US traditions that well, but I doubt molotov cocktails or pipe bombs are usually required for a peacefu

That just an assertion, not an argument. Or put it otherwise: A lot of these people believe that the "vote has been stolen" from them. The way a lot of those people look at the world, their actions are the only the logical consequ

This makes sense. One would at least plan what do do in case components suddenly become unavailable due to unexpected events. E.g. when the AKM plant recently burned down this already was havoc for a lot of audio applications. I'd gues

Why am I not even surprised...? I thought about writing a sentence about how (relatively) easy it would be to build a verified compiler (think CompCert-for-brainfuck); I'd guess the outcome is one of (a) "someone already did that
