Indeed. Safety cars are the problem. It introduces chaos into pit strategies, and allows cars to close up gaps. I grew up watching F1 in the 80s, and I don't recall EVER seeing a safety car. They either red-flagged the race and ha

I worked for a company that did pre-infiniband HPC interconnect drivers (Myricom) in the 2000s. We supported N-different *nixes (Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Tru64, Aix, and probably more I'm forgetting), Mac OS X and Windows in the same

This appears to support just photos and document scanning. And also seems to use BT and WiFi. I have a friend who lives in a high rise with incredibly crowded wifi spectrum. Anything wireless that involves latency sucks in their apartment

Sadly, I have no choice. I have a Garmin connected to an iPhone. Even when I disable most notifications for an app, it will still hit my watch. On Android, I could filter out which apps could notify the watch, on ios, it seems Garmin has

Just please, for the love of god, don't do it in slack. Nothing annoys me more than a colleague writing a long slack message when I'm AFK, and having my watch buzz like an angry bee when they hit one carriage return (and send a n

Its all about where you spend your time and accumulate expertise. I'm a kernel dev (FreeBSD), and this all made perfect sense to me. But a lot of web dev stuff I read about here seems like wizardry to me!

If I was building the same system, I'd use 8GB of RAM and use the NVME drive for an L2ARC. I'd put the root fs into the main zfs dataset. The machine will be faster (~128GB of cache), cheaper and draw less power due to less RAM.

Yeah, they're not the most stylish. I've had several different Android Wear smart watches, and an MS Band before those. In every case, the battery life went from bad to worse after a year or two (like 1-2 days, to less than a day

I love the Garmin Fenix series. Always on screen with 14days of battery life, notifications, and excellent exercise and health tracking, music storage, spotify support, etc. The battery life is achieved by not being glitzy like Apple watc

From the article: "the upcoming Ryzen 7000 line and likely Mendocino are not safe to use. They all contain a remotely exploitable hardware backdoor that can not be turned off" Does anybody know what he's referring to? Some

I think the biggest step towards the current political polarization was the FCC's revocation of the fairness doctrine in 1987. This lead to conservative talk radio's rise, which lead to the mainstreaming of right wing propaganda.

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted. Its not a term I'm familiar with either. Even just a link to the wikipedia article would have improved the post immensely.

We each have different tastes. I personally think that Diet Coke tastes like chemicals, and I vastly prefer Coke Zero. My understanding is that Diet Coke is based on the failed "New Coke", and Coke Zero is based on "Classic

The farm my father bought in rural Ohio for his retirement had a house that started life as a basement house. It was built in the 50s, and the basement had a kitchen, full bath, a very nice fireplace, and a few other rooms. Plus the garag

What made me mostly stop using it is that on a winding country road with no shoulder that I drive daily, it often STOPS for oncoming traffic in the opposite lane. These are standard width lanes, with plenty of room for 2-way traffic. It

It works fine here. They have a new "hold down the mouse button to prove you are human" step to access the site which I've never seen before. I wonder if they are being DOSed?
