Look in the upper right side. There is a mini snapshot of the page, with a blue outline showing the portion of the page that the browser can see. When you highlight text on the page, you can see it highlighted in the minimap.

Speaking of that, I've had issues with Firefox (both on Mac and Linux) where some checkboxes just don't appear. I was checking in for an international flight last month on American, and could not manage to get through the checki

The article's headline is misleading. The autoblog article does not mention crashes, and the cited AAA article itself says: For example, among sites where posted speed limits were raised, the crash rates increased at some sites but d

I still use xv to look at images, GLXGears to debug GL issues, and xev to debug any weird keymapping issues, and xterm as a visually different terminal for things like monitoring console output.

Can you explain why YoY matters most? It has always seemed like a very laggy indicator to me. Eg, if inflation is brought under control, the YoY numbers will make it look like there is still inflation on-going for the next 12 months. To m

One thing that was mentioned in the article, but which seems to be missing from the discussion is the decrease in state funding for higher education. When I was looking for colleges in the 80s, the most expensive private schools were on the

Do you use them on an M1 macbook with Nebula? I'm curious if Nebula supports running terminal windows, or is just a web browser or something..

I had always looked at things like Oculus as a "gaming" accessory. And I demoed Google Glass about 10 years ago, and it didn't present a virtual screen. When seeing the Apple goggles, it clicked for me that this was basicall

This product has opened my eyes to "AR" glasses in general, but I think its way overkill for what I want to do.. My use case is being able to code with a giant screen anywhere (plane, hotel room, etc). I just want a few giant edi

Even my normie friends were begging for invite codes the last I checked. That might have died down since Threads launched though.

Range extenders should be something on a trailer you tow behind you, and which you can rent for a long-haul road trip. Whether that something is a 200KWh battery pack, or a gas/diesel based generator doesn't really matter.

I'm surprised that Pepsico/Frito-Lay don't go after these sellers for trademark and copyright infringement. It seems like a pretty clear-cut case.

Ah, that explains why I could not find it!

You're making me blush.. But, to set the record straight: I actually know very little about ZFS, beyond basic user/admin knowledge (from having run it for ~15 years). I've never spoken about it, and other members of the team

Yes. That's the bootonce thing I was talking about. When we update the OS, we set the "bootonce" flag via bectl activate -t to ensure we fall back to the previous BE if the current BE is borked and not bootable. This is t

The happy path is storage ===>> RAM ==>> NIC, without CPU access. So there is basically a single memory write and a single memory read per byte. That's the non-TLS (and NIC TLS offload) path. Since TLS is per-connection

Yes, without TLS offload, we're CPU limited. For example, on our 400GbE (4x100GbE) servers, we are CPU (really memory bandwidth) limited at ~240Gb/s without NIC TLS offload. Using Mellanox CX6-DX NICs to move most of crypto onto

We use ZFS in production for the non-content filesystems on a large, ever increasing, percentage of our Netflix Open Connect CDN nodes, replacing geom's gmirror. We had one gotcha (caught on a very limited set of canaries) where a bug

by drewg123 3y ago
The point they they seem to omit is that TLS roughly doubles the cost to serve static content, assuming no hardware offloads are used. Roughly 40% of our CPU time on the Netflix CDN (on nodes w/o TLS offload NICs) is spent doing TLS c

Having to "plan liberally" is something that makes EVs much less usable on long trips. When road tripping, its fastest to arrive at a charger with a very low state of charge (way less than a 50mi buffer). When I road trip my Mod

When the 350KW chargers are online and working, which is apparently not often, which is why this move to NACS is happening. Only Tesla is motivated to run a reliable network. The other problem with 350KW CCS chargers is that they are ofte

Once you have the retrofit, you can use existing CCS fast charger with an adapter. So it is useful in that sense..

Indeed -- that makes a lot more sense than randomly searching bags. So it sounds like they were either working for a cartel to get the weed past customs, or they had some kind of inside knowledge of a cartel's shipments and were stea

How did they find the cannabis in the first place? Maybe I'm naive, but I'd assume that people carrying weed in their checked bags is like a 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 type thing, and that it would be hidden. This implies that they

Ugh, gnome. I wanted to move from TWM to "something modern" in ~2001 when running FreeBSD on a DEC alpha as my desktop. I submitted patches to both KDE and Gnome to let their configurators accept my shortcuts. KDE took the patc
