Not sure an IP rating alone gives you the information you need for this usecase. A [mountain] bike motor doesn't just need to resist ingress, it needs to do so after hundreds of hours of violent shaking while its external bearings are

I think you're talking about your personal machines and this author is talking about data centres. If there's never any memory pressure in your data centre you're wasting money on RAM.

I browse the web in multiple languages. I don't even know how to change my Accept-Language headers. I prefer to be able to just choose the language while I'm browsing. That also lets me easily see what languages the site actually

I agree but funnily enough I think this kind of operation is probably one of the most effective things we could do to establish those institutions. I have always suspected that one of the most effective things you can do to make a lasting a

This doesn't surprise me too much. I've written a fair bit of BPF code and getting programs to verify is very difficult and inevitably requires reading the verifier code. It's interesting to compare this to the Rust borrow ch

Arguably it would be fine if the community benefited from the parser. After all it's just a custom, undocumented format that lives specifically in this one repo. But I totally sympathise with Linus' annoyance when the issue is wit

They don't do the special package manager thing but aside from that I think the "immutable distros" like Fedora Silverblue are in this vein no?

I think this is very true, I've found the same thing in e.g: - Simracing: getting faster doesn't make you win races. Getting more consistent does. - Squash: getting stronger and faster doesn't make you win games, getting less

I always change the sheets in our house because my partner absolutely hates doing it. I recently realised this is because she has dramatically less upper-body strength than me, the "bit of shaking" is pretty exhausting for her wit

I don't think it's in the upstream kernel - various distros carry it as a patch. Maybe yours doesn't?

I don't oppose destruction of housing because of people losing their investment - expropriate it for all I care. But reducing the housing supply is bad for everyone. That's the important problem with nimbyism: it's not that i

It seems unwise to make life choices based on even the sure fact that your employer is in acquisition talks? Probably even if you are a founder personally carrying out acquisition talks? I guess the exception might be the decision to wait a

IMO it massively depends on what you're working on. I work on some codebases that are primarily about moving data around in Go. There are patterns to follow, there are no tricky algorithms, concurrency is largely solved, etc. All the c
