Funnily enough, this 10gtek worked on one of my 3 switches, but I could only establish a gigabit connection. I returned it [1] These 10gtek fiber modules on the other hand have worked flawlessly so far. [2] This Mikrotik module would not

Early this year I started redoing the backbone of my home network with 10 gb. Some of it's fiber, some of it's 10 gb copper Ethernet. It's been genuinely frustrating the weird incompatibilities between switches and SFP+ modul

Would the signals being unencrypted potentially open them to signal hijacking like the Max Headroom incident?

I created "unic" a number of years ago because I had need to get the unique lines from a giant file without losing the order they initially appeared. It achieves this using a Cuckoo Filter so it's pretty dang quick about it,

Back when I started at my current job... 15 years ago... We had no central git server. No PR workflow. We just git pull-ed from each others machines. It worked better than you would expect. We then went to using a central bare repo on a sha

I wish 9p would be more generally available. Both Windows and Mac have 9p support built in and both have locked away from the end user. Windows has it exclusively for communication with WSL. macOS has 9p but it's exclusively for commun

Because it's generally speaking, not that dangerous. Water is very good at blocking radiation. That's part of the reason why the pool is filled with it to begin with.

I work with a person where I know going into a review that I have to check every single file path. They have this weird ability to consistently put things in entirely the wrong folder/namespace. For example, something related to Catego

Hmm... I've read about "Reflections on Trusting Trust" a couple times including in college some twenty years ago, though never the paper itself. I have never seen the actual examples before, but the way it's always been

I really just dislike the tone of this. The author is remarkably negative without actually trying to help anything. The globbing is borked on some shell scripts in a very young Linux distribution? Submit a pull request rather than writing a

I have a friend who automated his entire days work down to the click of a single button. He did not tell management because they were pretty scummy. He got written up for not "looking busy" despite his output being higher than his

We run a very simple filesystem based queue that processes around 1 billion events a day. Makes use of XFS for it's better handling of large numbers of files. Corporate tried to push us to replace it with SQS and it could not keep up &

I wrote a rarely used Numbers importer for my company in I'd guess around 2009. The XML format they used was truly atrocious. Save a single value in a single cell, and it resulted in 1 megabyte of XML, compressed of course. Still, pars

They want to try to force me to buy a new PC? In this economy? I'm using Ubuntu as my daily driver for the first time since ~2010, and I'm solidly not hating it. Thinking about other desktop environments and what not, but this was

I came here to say how spoiled we are as Mac users. Preview is genuinely the best PDF reader . Full stop. Unchallenged, and for something like 20 plus years running.

Exactly this! The educational product I work on is used by hundreds of thousands of students a day, and the secret to our success is how simple our architecture is. PHP monoliths + Cache (Redis/Memcached) scale super wide basically f

My new Honda was very insistent I give it access to my Wi-Fi or share internet with it through my phone. I have declined this request. Everything currently works fine. I would rather have a working vehicle with potentially outdated software

I would kill for decent NURBS oriented 3D CAD software. I feel like the 3D printing community would absolutely thrive if they stopped dealing with polygons for things meant to exist in the real world. Rhino is really the only fully featured

I really miss the like 8 year ago push where a lot of major projects were moving to IRC. It's too bad Freenode took the opportunity to jump the shark and killed the momentum.

At my last job m our designer was a Fireworks holdout. It was very pleasant. As someone who has to implement UIs, I greatly preferred it to Figma, though with today's flat boring designs there's a lot less slicing.

It's been a number of years but my understanding was they kind of killed all the momentum it had by removing support for custom operators which broke everyone's code?

Personal pet peeve, but as someone who still makes gifs, Image Ready. Adobe kind of absorbed Image Ready into Photoshop and it's just never lived up to how easy it was to make simple gifs in Image Ready

On XHTML, I think there was room for both HTML and a proper XHTML that barks on errors. If you're a human typing HTML or using a language where you build your HTML by concatenation like early PHP, sure it makes sense to allow loosey go

This article should have like a [satire] or something attached. It's not super obvious until you get a little ways into this that this is a joke article and these are not real operators. Even then, it might not be obvious if you'r
