They only co-mingle the same item. Usually we hear about co-mingling when someone lists their counterfeits as real items, but if you create your own "product" with its own SKU and UPC code that isn't the same as existing prod

I solved this problem by filtering for "Prime" shipping, until one day I noticed that I was getting free Prime shipping on a third-party sale that shipped from China and would arrive in 30-45 days. If it's gonna take over a m

Apple may not overpay, but if they're willing to pre-pay multiple billions of dollars that's a huge incentive for a company like TSMC, who gain the ability to instantly (well, "instantly") launch capital projects, rather

Googling isn't finding the story, so take this with a grain of salt, but as I recall there have been incidents where Apple needed so many of a specific machine, made by one specific company, to set up their manufacturing, but when they

This is correct. The typical restrictions on BSD code are: 1. If you distribute source code you need to retain the copyright notice, the license conditions, and the disclaimer 2. If you distribute binaries you must include those in the docu

While I like the idea of moving to a proper self-managed system, my Synology NAS is the least proprietary of all the proprietary systems I've used. That is to say that yes, it does have a bunch of proprietary stuff on top, but it also:

I'm not a 3D person or whatever, but is it possible to (asynchronously?) pre-compile shaders before you use them? Like, to run shader compilation behind the scenes while the user is playing the tutorial or whatever?

My company self-hosts Gitlab, but our instance is inside of our internal network, with no access to the internet, in or out, and almost no access to the corporate network, in or out. Every net/host and port is whitelisted, every change

Ideally you would sandbox this with: 1. No filesystem access 2. No network access 3. Input passed on stdin (or a pre-opened fd) 4. Output passed to stdout (or a pre-opened fd) 5. A hard timeout specified before the process is killed Suddenl

I remember before 2007 seeing people using eval and thinking "what on earth is wrong with you?" I'd accept this for maybe pre-2000, but people should really know better.

They're not really trying to be defensive, so much as they're saying "actually, we found a more practical and more elegant way to solve this problem so we're not gonna do this."

Exactly this. This isn't some kind of roving solitary confinement, it's a safe vehicle for human workers to travel through automated automated-robot-only areas. An Amazon exec posted about it on Twitter saying that they scrapped t

Default port for the Flask python web framework, but the poster was complaining because it's the port they use for something in production. Seems like a silly complaint honestly.

Tesla's most recent profits were a staggeringly high $9.22bn. Ford's most recent profits were a startlingly middle-of-the-road $19.934bn. The Cybertruck is going to sell to nerds who think they're a handyman, but the eF150 is

Fleet managers are going to love the idea of paying for electricity instead of fuel and of having extra hauling space. You take your work truck home with you? Great, you're paying to "fuel" it up while it's at home.

When the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic launched, I tried the beta and kept having issues where it would launch to a black screen, wait, and then crash. Someone, somewhere, figured out that the game only runs properly if you have the text

I've been around long enough to see programs which print lots of output to stdout get a lot lot faster by piping their output to /dev/null.

ZFS has been in production use for 20 years, and has seen a lot of improvements since then, but it is well tested and well understood. BTRFS has never really achieved "production" status in most people's eyes (at least, that

For what it's worth, all of the systems that Apple has shipped with the M1 are replacing systems which also did not have replaceable components and could not manage incremental updates. The main difference that I see is that the M1 chi

That's because: 1. No one used Windows Phone either 2. The use-case wasn't really clear. "Run Office apps on a regular computer-sized monitor!" I can already do that, using the computer-sized computer connected to my com

For what it's worth, Lightning is dramatically better than Micro-USB ever was, and IMHO it's still better than USB-C in terms of form factor (it's thinner, allowing for thinner ports, so thinner devices) but not compatibility
