Someone already does, check out the StarLite tablet. It even runs coreboot firmware.

Not doubting the truth of your claim, just trying to understand you mean... How would the FAA know a pilot has ADHD if the condition is undiagnosed?

I never liked Musk because he always came off to me as your average eccentric bullshit billionaire. But up until his more blatant alignment with conservatives, he was quite widely revered by the left for his promotion and investments in tra

It's good that LetsEncrypt has eaten into the CA racket. Demanding money from people in exchange for a specific sequence of bits just to be able to host (even self-host) content securely on the web never should have been allowed in the

Related: Ford once had a 33.4% stake in Mazda and there was a bunch of cross-pollination between the two companies at that time. My 2002 Mazda Protege was loaded with various parts bearing the FoMoCo logo. And Mazda engines/chassis pow

I've always thought those kinds of large-scale search-and-replace diffs should not generally be expected to be reviewed. If a review is 1000's of lines of identical changes (or newly-vendored code), literally nobody is actually re

I tried poking around but it looks like you have to be logged into to view the source, and registration requires manual approval. :/ I assume this is fallout from dealing with LLM content scrapers.

I've heard multiple opinions that traditional spam filtering techniques work well enough. And as someone who has implemented many of them for work and personal email systems, that is true only if you consider low-effort spam that comes

You have to be a little careful about this. That works for semi-ethical marketing departments, but for actual spammers it can send a signal that there's a warm body behind the email address, making it far more valuable and more likely

These jobs won't go away. Power tools didn't destroy carpentry. Computers didn't destroy math. But workers who don't embrace these new tools will probably get left behind by those who do.

If all you need is init (and not a process supervisor), docker comes with one called 'tini' built in. All you have to do is supply `--init` to the `docker run` command. Or use `init: true` in your docker-compose.yaml. As far as a

It's highly variable. Some last much longer than others. The microswitches they use are very common jellybean parts and Logitech probably changes manufacturers all the time.

I always have at least a half-dozen NiMH AA batteries sitting charged in the drawer ready to go. When the mouse stops working, I grab a couple of charged batteries, slap them in, put the drained ones in the charger and then carry on with wh

It's never been a better time to get into DIY electronics projects. Literally every part of the process is well within a curious hacker's abilities. Microcontrollers and cheap sensors/displays started becoming commonplace aro

My favorite mouse is the Logitech Anywhere MX. It's highly comfortable despite being pretty small. The back/forward buttons on the side are indispensable for web browsing, file management, and switching weapons in first-person sho

Yes, application containers should stick to the Unix philosophy of, "do one thing and do it well." But if the thing in your docker container forks for _any_ reason, you should have a real init on PID 1.

I am a big fan of his channel but in a lot of his videos lately, the tone has been somewhere between holier-than-thou and outright preachy. Just because you spent a week researching a semi-obscure topic enough to present about it on YouTube

What does the docker CLI give you that the podman CLI doesn't? (Surely you aren't suggesting that `docker compose` works with a podman rootless daemon?)

When I was stationed in Turkey, I went on a trip to see Özkonak, which is a similar underground city. Living in a country where almost nothing man-made is more than a couple hundred years old, it's wild to see a whole underground city

There is lots of middle ground. Here in Michigan, (most) electricity and gas providers are for-profit companies. But they are heavily regulated by the state, and must get approval from the state before they are allowed to change rates. Our

The company I work for has a published map with pay tiers on it. It's all admittedly a bit arbitrary and they are always careful to repeat often that employee pay does NOT scale with nor adjusted for the cost of living in your location
