Absolutely :) Very convincing, but as per your user-info (should have read that before trying to be smart), I should not expect less of someone with a proper philosophical education and the (as I suppose) accompanying repository of philosop

This is an excellent comment, and I agree on the conclusion that either exists as much as the other. However ;-), I dare to say your argument is weak: Assume "I believe in the apple on my desk". But you will find there is neither

In the PC world a discrete GPU means you get a second chip with a thermal/power budget of 70 to 200W. On a SoC the thermal budget is more limited, so even if they integrate nVidia IP on silicon, they can't clock it as high. Of cou

TIL: "The rat is always right." //edit: okay, the above is a bit minialistic, so, in full: The article is a good point on how systems have to adapt to actual human (mis-)behaviour, instead of relying on wishful thinking

Oh, that's really weird. I got it from .de delivered to DE. Maybe send the manufacturer a mail and ask them to fix it? Mine came DOA and I remember them to be pretty friendly.

I didn't try any command line utilities and only use it for the web with Firefox (e.g. GitHub). Can confirm: Works well on both Linux (needs some udev rule, but I think that's true for all these sticks?) and Windows. To further an

Not sure if applicable to your use-case, but I'm using a HyperFIDO Mini[1]. Much cheaper than the Yubikey, and the form factor is also nice for just keeping it in a (reachable by hand) USB port. Though I carry mine on the keychain (and

The introductory sentences of Prometheus - "A legend is [...] to end in the inexplicable." - actually belong to the story's end[1]. Maybe that makes it a little more clear? But TBH, I don't find the original easy to unde

Difficult to judge: Better sight doesn't mean "better human-like sight". Maybe dogs are better at seeing fast moving gradients (e.g. when racing prey), but have difficulties with slow changes (e.g. predator slowly closing in)

The drawback of a centralized, government controlled /TRACKING/ app is the MASSIVE AMOUNT trust it requires not to be abused. Neither now nor in the future. Purely scientifically it's quite useful in the current situation, mu

I can confirm this anecdata. Single and dual 27" 4k is fine, but mixing with a 27" 1440p is messy (tried with GNOME and KDE on Manjaro during early Corona home office).

People are upvoting it, so I guess it's appropriate enough ;-) But I feel your first part is a legit question. As a Linux user I can't answer for myself (only reason to use Windows are games and SigmaStudio). However, a lot of our

Actually this isn't as stupid as it sounds. For home use, that's the only thing I can really think of wanting a lot of egress bandwidth. I run a PMS on my connection (400/25), and it's nice that I can let friends or fami

Funnily, I wasn't amazed by the fluid in the demo. It seemed much too thick (more like oil than like water).

I am often a bit sad that we don't have all the fancy pants GitHub features. But right now I'm quite happy I can still use my git, the CI runs quite well, and everything else is quite dandy overall =)

Hm, at $job we're already sending all git commits to a Bugzilla (no bug in commit comment => push is rejected). Parsing the comment or diff for these instructions shouldn't be too difficult. Though we have several products + su

Exactly. You don't want your planes MCU to be "probably" or "mostly" bugfree.

Oh, that's really nice. Though, as a user one should remember: The approach described here gives up at some point. So it doesn't prove the absence of a bug class (e.g. double free), but it finds some instances. Which is already a
