Sounds like a load of nonsense to me. I think the background check for these jobs _does_ check if you have debts etc. and I think probes into your financial history to see behaviour - they won't take you on if you're a risk. The s

I'd ported the emulator to WASM from one I'd half written a few years previously, and engineered myself into a corner (+ like I said, not a web programmer) The emulator ran in the worker, and the inputs were handled on the main th

There's also the problem of getting keyboard input in and out of the web worker in a performant manner. I tried this a few years ago with a Gameboy emulator I had ported from Go to webassembly and used web workers to run the emulator i

I wish this video was longer and went into more detail, although I guess Ocado like to keep things light as they make money on selling this tech to other supermarket chains. I used to be an Ocado customer for about 9 years or so and they we

I have a fun bee story to tell. Last week I was at a small cafe with a garden at the rear where they keep some hives (set back from where customers can sit) Anyway we were sitting down enjoying a coffee when we suddenly hear this loud sharp

Really enjoyed reading this article. The LoadCredentials thing reminds me of configmaps in K8S, is there a more general thing in systemd e.g LoadConfig

The article assumes that everyone has a lot of savings tucked away for the "lesser" damages like floor flooding (which might spiral out of control once the true extent of the damage is revealed...) It definitely makes sense if you

The 'new' Reddit UI caused my Intel macbook to get really hot just clicking around, it's not so bad on the M1 but I still prefer the old reddit UI, which feels snappy.

The whole NFT thing is completely absurd, but tbh I'd do the same in their position. If someone is willing to pay, then why not? Not sure I'd spend it on university fees though (fees operate differently here in the UK), seems like

Ahhhhh I'm so glad to see that this exists. I had an "idea" of having something like this in the past, to save having to manually type bank account numbers into a thing (and risk typos...), instead you just scan a QR code wit

Interestingly even the wealthier residents of this complex have seen huge hikes in the service charges (presumably to pay for the running costs of the sky pool...) Might be affordable to those with lots of money, but probably a hinderence t

Forgive my ignorance, does this mean that when your user space program makes syscalls, it doesn't require the CPU to go into ring 0/"protected mode" as your program is already running in ring 0?

I think the main selling point is being able to buy clothes and return the ones that don't fit without having to pay for the lot first, and get a refund later. The same can be applied to a credit card though so it's not a strong a

One thing I don't understand is why they felt the need to make the UI bigger, I can't be the only one who mostly uses a 13" screen

Wow, cool product! I mostly resort to poorly applied swatches of electrical tape (black) all over the place. My current nemesis is the PS5 in "rest mode", bright orange/yellow glowing all the time!

Mike Winnet on YouTube has a whole channel devoted to these schemes/conferences run by "contrepeneurs" who all seem to follow the same playbook to rake in cash from pliable people. https://youtu.be/vC5cmW8O3L8

At my last job we had a lot of data in S3 queried using the data tooling like Athena or EMR. This was useful to a lot of teams in the org but the downside was trying to lockdown certain fields like IP address to people who needed access to

I've mentioned this on HN before, one pattern I've noticed is a lot of sites tend to truncate their RSS feed so you have to click through to see the full article etc. This is mostly OK but kinda frustrating, as in the before-covid

For me the main reason I'm not a Dropbox customer is their rigid pricing structure, £7.99 a month for 1TB is good value for people who use 1TB, but I only need like 10% of that so would be wasting money I'm guessing they bank on
