I've have pretty good luck with flowtron after watching an nvidia screencast on it. CPU only inference performance isn't great though.

This is pretty wild. When you rotate your master password and it re-encrypts everything, that's a perfect opportunity to use a new iteration count. If they didn't want change the value for user's who were at an old default va

I apologize, when I said your choice of demographic I meant your choice of demographic that encompasses "young" as per the topic of your original comment. Yes, when including the elderly, cancer and heart disease are greater cause

Given there is likely a correlation between behaviors to reduce likelihood of infection (avoiding crowds, properly wearing effective masks) and willingness to get vaccinated, I would wager the odds of catching covid at least once would be e

Yes, the unprecedented macroeconomic calamity that caused market-wide car prices to appreciate was not sustainable and is no longer happening.

Ready for sensational headlines about the concerning reduction of the deceleration of AWS' decrease in YoY growth. Will they ever be able to turn this ship around?

I've been doing one-offs as a freelancer for 10-15 years, though it has never been my sole focus/career. I think once you start landing some gigs and build a network, similar work will find its way to you. As much as it's a s

As much as Google tends to wiff at anything social, I think Google Photos and iCloud are pretty strong players in album sharing.

Yikes! I fortunately haven't run into this yet. There are very few cases where I would take the easy road and install a snap (maybe a one-time use CLI where performance doesn't matter and I'd uninstall after?). If not in apt

Interesting. Firefox on snap was an absolute nightmare. Not only would New Tab break after an update, fonts would break as they may be (re-)loaded from disk which becomes missing when the app gets remounted at a new mount point after an upd

Thank you for this. Severely limited controls are certainly better than no controls. Looks like timer can reduce breakages to no more than monthly, hold can prevent breakages for up to 3 months, and metered seems like it may be able to disa

I personally use ubuntu and have used snap enough to get thoroughly burned and annoyed by it. Slow starts, no auto-update controls with bad defaults corrupting running programs, spammed mount points... (edit: see comment below for some limi

Sure, there was and is political posturing with regard to pandemic countermeasures. The reassessments haven't been about learning how masks work but about how a particular virus spreads and the efficacy of various types of masks in var

If it's pure Javascript and canvas (2D or WebGL) and no HTML/CSS (often the first thing you'll reach for when drawing and styling text) then it's pretty straightforward to render to JPG/PNG using node-canvas. WebGL

The EventEmitter pattern seems interesting! I can't say I've wrapped my head around it enough to weigh the benefits and drawbacks. I would point out a few things after a quick look: * It looks like you're creating an emitter

Nice work! I noticed it accurately picked out solaris and associated a few recent comments, none of which were about the operating system. There was a fantastic HN comment[0] which actually spurred me to buy and read it. Do your queries go

There is a delicious irony to restinbits offering the name of their defunct project, rest in bits, to someone making a site tracking defunct projects. Rest in bits could then be in the inaugural batch on rest in bits.

I imagine cancellations skyrocketed and bookings halted for a few weeks in the spring, but by summer they started to publicly reveal trends were working in their behavior. The number of bookings was a bit depressed, but the number of nights

13 years! That's pretty incredible longevity! It looks like it's grown into something of an architecture meets interior design magazine, from what started as a peek into lavish startup dig(g)s. Cheers, man. Amazing work!

I think it's a nitpick that an aerodynamic stall (plane not going forward fast enough for wings to generate lift) should not be conflated with an engine stall (engine ceases to burn/spin/propel)

Wikipedia is a great example of a web site that has resisted the trend! It is a pretty ideal democracy for those of us whose ISP or nation-state[0] doesn't prohibit us from viewing it. There was a project similar to Wikipedia, but for

I think the sentiment was regarding the democratization of knowledge and access, which is shifting more toward an oligarchy. True, more of humanity is coming online. However, they can only participate if they can be monetized and controlled

Is it also hard for you to understand why someone would go to the US after reading about the case of Eric Garner[1]? There are plenty of interesting and exciting places to visit in the world that don't put you at the mercy of police of

I think they emphasized the weaponry because the US billed it as the capture of an environmental research ship in international waters, while the DPRK preferred to position it as a thwarted military incursion into sovereign Korean waters.

Aside from South Korea, which may not be prohibited, I don't think there were any nationalities that couldn't visit, until a Sept 2017 US State Department travel ban on US citizens. The company I went with in 2013 is respecting th
