The internet archive is most useful for when you click a link and it is dead which is very often. The wikipedia references are filled with dead links which now point to IA. There is probably a lot of junk data on IA though especially video

Ancient posts rarely do get any attention though unless you are a politician and even then most people agree its worthless information. There was the recent event with the guy from Canada having photos of him wearing blackface almost 20 yea

Looks like its a huge amount of work to strip the DRM out of the games which stop functioning when the original website stops working.

I'm not sure what you would want from a standard. The basic idea is very simple, crawl the entire web starting from a few known points and visiting every single url you see on every page. Now you have an index of the internet you can r

When you have a huge number of people working there its not unlikely that at least one person will do this and there is probably nothing you can do to stop it. What would be interesting data is if per person there is a higher rate than the

No doubt. So far the only defense against crap products is buying them from a physical store so you can test and easily return them and having a good warranty.

The rating for a panel is the absolute best case where it has full direct sunlight and the panel is cold. Most of the time you will be getting less than the rated power.

Its ok. Stadia is a google product, it wont exist by the end of 2020.

Those prices look good. I remember last time I checked they had a very good free plan but you had to jump right up to the very expensive enterprise plan if you had an internal app even if it was tiny.

What do you mean requires a gpu? Doesn't all computing with a gui require some kind of GPU?

>I think eventually we will pine for the old way. Already you can’t get useful reviews anymore because all of the “comparison” searches are run by manufacturer mouthpieces. Absolutely. A lot of reviews these days from google results read

Its funny how our brains have a kind of built in adblocker named banner blindness. There have been a few times I was unable to understand a UI because the important part was rectangle and too prominent so I ignore it entirely without realiz

This is so prevalent already. Brands disguised as users posting "content" that is mostly just an advert for their brand. It has got to the point where any time someone posts something that seems to too clearly show a brand name or

What do you do when you need to debug an issue and the container contains no utils? I expect someone will leave a comment saying "But you shouldn't be entering containers, you should be using Ansible/Kubernetes". Yes, th

They aren't impossible to find, there are loads takeaway sandwich stores as well as buritos. You just have to look a little further than takeaway that has a drive through.

Almost all foods seem to get destroyed in the freezing process and lose their texture. I have found that at my supermarket they sell refrigerated meals that just need to be microwaved and they taste outstanding. As long as you make sure to

Yeah, I prefer unit tests over docs. Rather than writing a document saying "Make sure X does Y" Just write a spec checking that X does Y and if it ever stops doing that there will be a descriptive error in the CI. Docs and comment

Not sure if this is the case but it would be possible to fool fingerprinting by randomizing parts of the browser so each request has a unique fingerprint which isn't useful for tracking.

Its quite a large number of them but not any of the ones you can get from a store anymore. There are loads of them floating around ebay second hand. Just look up the serial number checker and you should have no issues snagging one.

Normal usage has already done this. New renewable energy sources are cheaper than new fossil fuel sources. Fossil fuels exist mainly today because they have already been set up but mostly for political reasons. Many political parties have b

You are correct. I am critical of the practice of collecting items that have no continued use to the owner and would be better off sold or gifted to a new owner who could get more use out of it. I will admit though that they can serve as ar

Overheating rooms which then have to be ventilated / air conditioned and aren't even an efficient way to heat an area compared to heat pumps.

Also having to produce more solar panels and wind turbines to run miners is not good for the environment either.

Hardback books seem like a magnet for collectors (hoarders) they know they could more conveniently get the book as an ebook or from the library but they are buying them primarily as an item to store on a shelf. I have seen people buy books

I wonder what can be done about this. These crypto calculations are totally useless RNG and are trashing our planet. One solution I have seen is to charge for power on a non linear scale so for normal users its fairly cheap but if you start

I'm pretty sure its not downloading to the client since the dataset is apparently pretty massive. It looks like its downloading it to a vm or something and creating a new instance of the service for every user.

Insane but also expected. When I tried it out when it was posted here and saw it took multiple minutes to warm up I knew it was probably expensive. >And it's currently costing 30-40 cents per download. Is there no way to have a sing

It could have to do with all the tracking the new reddit does. Just open the network tab and see it firing off network requests as you move the mouse.
