I cannot do this. Just because you can do so easily does not mean everyone can. I am apparently unable to segment my muscle memory like you seem to be able to (I'm actually jealous you can do that!).

I probably regularly use 4-5 different machines regularly (2 at home, my work laptop, work laptop plugged into it's dock at work, embedded system flashing machine). I also help coworkers when handing off a assembled embedded machine, w

Have you considered that the author did try to understand the underlying ideology? It seems pretty accurate to me.

100% this. I shop almost exclusively on digikey at work when I can because their search is *so much* better then everyone else's. It's certainly not great , but it's definitely the best of any electronics component vendor by

Resigned, not oblivious. I'm not exactly happy they're around, but WTF am I supposed to do as an individual? I mean, I vote, but other then that. This shit is used everywhere, and its not exactly something you can easily look up o

There's a reason a lot of people refer to buying cryptocurrency as funding the North Korea nuclear weapons research program.

It can lead to "fun" optimizations. I spent a while porting a codebase that was written by someone far more clever then smart. They had discovered that you could clear a string under MSVC by `memset()`ing over it. Obviously, this

A.K.A. all the buttons are hidden so half the functions are impossible to discover.

You seem to be assuming that cloudflare's CDN is located in the country doing the blocking. I'd imagine that CF's first act would be to remove any of the "offending" content from the country, at which point BGP bloc

That wouldn't do anything, since CF's CDN connects to the backends directly. As such, any CF server not within the nation in question would effectively be a circumvention tool.

Not quite. Meta-magic can include code-gen, but monkey-patching can include effectively doing ast-ast transforms to change the behaviour of existing code without having to actually edit the code.

Evolution is completely uncontroversial. Teaching about evolution is controversial because it pokes holes in certain commonly held beliefs. That doesn't make any of the actual underlying facts controversial.

Look at their citations. This is just right wing whitewashing with a veneer of "it's unbiased" (because it doesn't say bad things about us now).

So, looking at the "about the foundation page" [1], we have conspiracy wingnuttery about: - Global warming - Covid lab-leak stuff - Jimmy Wales being mean to Elon Musk (Really?) On the valid side, we have: - Holocaust minimiza

I strongly disagree with the basic thesis of this article. HDMI is better then displayport. DVI is better then HDMI. USB-C is a complete disaster (particularly when trying to tunnel displayport). I have an ongoing hypothesis that the gener

Anything that isn't explicitly supporting the status quo = "politics". This is also true of a large portion of HN commenters.

I do something like this in some projects of mine. RabbitMQ is completely happy to do this. On the other hand, literally every python client library would fall over and/or wedge forever periodically. Celery in particular was a flam

If a social network has no ability for moderation of any sort, it's gonna be DOA. The issue with being unmoderatable is that it means that you will wind up with a network dominated by the worst people. In general, people don't lik

Nothing in the article indicates that the client here is a browser. I read it as some service with a custom client application.

I don't think anyone is using JLCPCB for the quality. People use it because it's very cheap, good enough , and they have other services (assembly, association with LCSC that make it even more compelling). In the US, OSHPark'

One option I never see mentioned in any of these discussions about virtualenvs/stuff is my approach to python environments: Each project gets it's own VM/Container. You then have one python version in the container, and no vi

A.K.A. "I've never bought specialized test/measurement equipment." The problem is if you require well documented, available software interfaces, your available options do not exist.

I think OP's point is that it's not GPIB, it's "GPIB", a.k.a. something that kind of looks like gpib if you squint, but really is some custom derivative that is only supported by one obscure piece of DOS-only softwa
