Is that memory increase seen in peak usage or average/idle usage? For file servers, I could be willing to give up 350 MB of memory temporarily for large-scale indexing and thumbnailing operations if it doesn't happen often and mak

Carrying a blank phone is much less suspicious than carrying a locked phone that you then trick border officers into wiping all the data off of. I agree that it's legally irrelevant, but we've seen many court rulings lately where

My only complaint is that the backlight behavior has like a dozen different settings, none of which are "off". There's "on", "flicker", "blink when you hit the key", "ripple out when you hit

It does feel hella jank, but it's pretty obvious from the tone of the text that the author is fully aware of that. He went through every available option in order from reasonable to jank and this is the first one that worked. There&#x2

It always kind of blows my mind that I keep seeing "smart TVs" which have a bunch of integration options for high-end AV installations (rich people's houses, etc.) but no API that you can integrate with to just handle togglin

This is the issue with these sorts of laws. How do you make it illegal to destroy evidence of criminal misconduct when the destruction of evidence can make it impossible to prove it ever existed? That seems to be along the lines of what the

At the same time, it's necessary for societies to grow and evolve. Looking back 250 years and saying "This isn't how THEY would have done it" is not always the correct perspective. Anyway, you don't have to look bac

IMHO because it means that Signal stays focused on being a secure messaging platform and not an 'application platform'. Telegram is great because it has bots, etc. but Signal is great because they have one core focus and they don&

Usually "true capitalism" means one of two things: 1. Capitalism where there is no government or regulatory interference, and the "invisible hand of the free market" produces some kind of utopian society based purely on

Saw an interesting discussion on how capitalism has existed for as long as markets have existed, including ancient Greece, and how it inevitably leads to wealth inequality, monopolistic behavior, unsustainable resource extraction, and all t

But if SpaceX valuation drops by 2/3 before settling into a steady state, does that not mean that SpaceX is not one of the "largest X companies" but rather was overvalued? The entire reason for these seasoning periods is to g

Well, excepting that there's a toggle to turn off 'improving the model' (i.e. don't use my repo for training data) and it still uploads your entire repository, git history, etc., all of which can be fetched locally and f

But the poster said that that was basically his yearly salary. He fled the country and has to spend the rest of his life worrying about extradition (and/or having people find out he's a felon) for a year's pay.

Not to mention that, despite having done nothing wrong, you can still be blamed and suffer the consequences. Imagine that company did notice, and the person who sent the payment went into a panic. They call their bank, that bank calls your

Is it a competition? I wonder if the Zig people feel as though it is, because I doubt the Rust people do. Rust's big tentpole is "no memory management bugs, everything must be provably safe", whereas Zig is very proud of &quo

Saying 15 years of content updates feels disingenuous when most of those years, at least lately, feel like minimal updates from a company that's out of ideas and doesn't want to change anything that might have a chance at annoying

I don't necessarily disagree, but two other points to consider: 1. Every test that is written is another use case that wasn't tested before. 100% test coverage is often impractical, but the more tests you have the more of the code

It's not unique to postgres, as others have said; the same thing can happen with e.g. MySQL poolers/proxies/etc., since the behavior of the connection can be changed dynamically and it persists for the lifetime of the connect

Just for reference, Peer 1 has a data centre in downtown Vancouver which, fifteen or so years ago, was able to accept my then-employer as a client and offer us a quarter, half, or full rack, but could only offer us enough actual power to ru
