It’s just the two below it. Beyond that are replies to the first message.

IIRC there’s a cache for logged out users; you’re not hitting the backend app.

At what cost though? What programs would suffer funding decreases? This is why we elect representatives. It’s not a perfect system but the average citizen would not have the context necessary to make direct decisions on it.

NASA's total budget is approximately one half of one percent (0.5%) of the federal budget. Even at its peak in the 1960s, it never reached 5%. Seems pretty reasonable.

Have a look at the CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe from MikroTik. It’s a router on a PCIe card, with its own OS. What’s your usecase? Might be able to get better recommendations if you can tell us what you’re trying to do.

The switch to the current pricing model was anything but smooth. The uproar was so bad they had to come back with a revised plan. A lot of people were still upset with the revised plan after it launched. Not my site, but this blog entry exp

Once your app gets to that level, even keeping the lights on requires work. Third party dependencies don’t stop updates, security or otherwise. Laws and regulations change. Advertisers demand features that aren’t seen by the general public.

Yeah, I’ve built FriendlyWRT for the R5S. It’s reasonably doable in an afternoon, depending on skill level. FriendlyWRT, or at least the sources for it, is just a few minor configuration tweaks for performance + default packages. http:&#x2

BTT does work with the TouchBar, but the "Touch" in the name comes from "touchpad" since it originally was used to add various macros/gestures to the touchpad and mouse. TouchBar support was added later. Most new Ma

I wouldn’t be worried about the sequence itself running out, but the column it’s stored in in the table may not be large enough to handle those numbers.

If they're not accounting for it, integer overflow could be a real problem. (And it's not clear they would account for it in a table that normally has 10s of thousands of entries.) Someone else mentioned it here too: https:&#x2F

I’m engaged now, and met my fiancée on a dating site. At the time, it made sense that I deleted my account, since we were exclusive, but now those first messages exist only as a memory. I’d love to have those again, but I’m happy that data

G.fast is for pretty short runs. It’s basically just a curb-to-router solution; there’s typically fiber behind it.

I wouldn't be surprised if GCP has GPUs scattered throughout the datacenter. If you happen to want to attach one, it has to find one for you to use - potentially live migrating your instance or someone else's so that it can connec

As a tourist, I buy it there. That way I know it's reef-safe without having to look at ingredients, and the few dollars spent vs. carrying a bottle through an airport is well worth it. Many of the dive boats and hotels will offer sunsc

These seem like the kind of things you could/should be asking in your interview. For big companies, like levels.fyi caters to, there is no one size fits all answer. For small ones, the answer may be more straightforward, but you may ha

Luckily, it sounds as if they’re relying mostly on lower level primitives vs. these higher level abstractions that are more likely to be discontinued.

Saw that they’re using a NanoPi - I just picked up an R5S (dual 2.5gbe + single 1gbe) and it’s a pretty neat device. Haven’t done any significant benchmarks yet, but I was able to use the FriendlyElec wiki to build FriendlyWRT and run it, w

This is off the bleeding edge; 22.04 was released in April. But now that 22.04.1 is out, `do-release-upgrade` from LTS->LTS works.

Given how hard MS has been pushing RTO, and how unlikely they are to be Mac users, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just don’t feel the pain like everyone else and therefore don’t care.

I really like how avoids a lot of the common YouTube schtick. Video starts and he gets right into it - no themes, long-winded intros, life story.

With IPv6, multiple addresses on a host are the norm. Just add a ULA network in addition to the public IPs you’re getting. No need to do NAT; your public stuff routes just fine using the public IPs and you can still contact internal resourc
