The argument (of the second post) is that their behavior will be correlated because they all have (more or less) the same incentives and cost structure.

systemd-resolved can do this, though I haven't played with it too much yet. Here's a random post I just found: https://gist.github.com/brasey/fa2277a6d7242cdf4e4b7c720d42b... (Ha, I did the thing where I read

Have you made any bad hires that way? I used to think that I could gauge someone's depth of understanding by asking pointed questions about past projects, but after doing that several times and following it up with a simple coding prob

Thanks for that! I tried logging in and navigating to the page, but kept getting errors at the "Privacy & Notifications" page (maybe because I'm on an old pre-paid plan?). That direct link worked fine, though. (Though who

The Inkwell puzzles ( https://squares.io/p/inkwell ) are generally fairly easy (usually around NYT Tuesday level). If you need easier than that, you might have to search for puzzle archives. I remember the old yahoo&#x2F

Solo backpacking (i.e. in the backcountry, not campgrounds) is a very different experience than with friends. The first time I did a longer trip (6 days) solo, I was terrified for the first 24 hours, but then eased into it and ended up havi

This is not actually a problem in practice. I had this misconception too before I started using it, though. I'll explain for Nix, since I've used it, but I assume Guix works similarly: Packages as defined in nixpkgs don't dep

The most promising thing in this area, IMO, is NixOS and surrounding tools like NixOps. They're strange and hard to learn, and you have to do almost everything differently from what you learned, but it is really true declarative config

Wow, that video feels pretty disingenuous. - The whole premise assumes that you need to make a new account for each project you contribute to, because they're hosted on individual gitea or similar instances. Some are, but let's be

That's fair. I recall reading the developers' rationale for their decision to do multiple documents and sharing at the document level. They argued that it simplified the mental model, and I'd tend to agree: when I use shared

Sorry if this is inappropriate, but for people looking for a tool like this or Workflowy, I want to suggest Dynalist, which has the simplicity of Workflowy but also a bunch more features. Cloud-based, always synced, mobile apps, easy sharin

As other people have pointed out, almost none of this comment is accurate: Google put some effort, not that much, into Unladen Swallow, and the people who worked on it admitted that it didn't achieve the goals they set. The Python comm

Does anyone make a fanless case for it yet? I have a 7th gen NUC in a fanless case from Akasa and I love the complete silence. (Performance is as you'd expect. I'd hope a Ryzen 7 would be a step up.)

This looks pretty thorough and is a better stab at quantifying things than I've seen before. Thank you!

I use this probably a hundred times a day :( It makes me so sad. I've considered writing an extension to kill them all by default, but I'm afraid I'll break some site in a way that really confuses me and end up wasting more

I think the idea is that we're in a local maximum for "how good is the current arrangement for society as a whole". Any small change to the arrangement is going to make things worse for one party or another, and probably even

I'm somewhat happy with my Pixel 3a, but the aspect ratio is pretty annoying: it's too tall and too narrow, making it really hard to use one-handed (my thumb can't reach that high while I'm gripping it in my palm). It lo

It's a big jump to go from "this protocol is more complicated than the previous one" to "cut out future generations from system programming". It's not _that much_ more complicated that a competent programmer wh

What would you say is the "resident innovative force in computing" now? I'm a little confused by the reference to healthcare.gov: if Big Web is not the right paradigm to handle a... big web site, then what is?

The misconception is the idea that anyone can easily implement a compliant HTTP 1.1 server, or even client. The protocol may appear simple on paper but parsing it correctly and securely is quite tricky. IMO, one of the benefits of HTTP 2 an
