I always wondered why people in Florida don't build houses out of bricks instead of wood as we do. I thought they would do much better against a tornado. It's now obvious that's not the case - quite the opposite, in fact, as

While reading through the Quake 3 source code, I noticed that whenever the FS functions were reading from a CD, they were doing so in a loop, because the fread/fopen functions instead of hanging and waiting for the CD to spin up someti

What I really had an issue with was the timespan between modifying a file in an editor (running in Windows) and the change being actually present in the container. I had to restart tests way too often because the old code was executing, whi

This is also true for Windows. WSL2 made containers faster, but FS is painfully slow. Sounds like the best thing (apart from switching) is running Linux in a VM (Hyper-V does OK) and having IDE, Docker and all the data in there.

I could also live without hiding the protocol for non-secured websites. I mean leave the label there, I don't care, but whenever I want to copy the domain of a HTTP website, it also automatically prepends it with the protocol, which mo

This made me realize that despite not using SMS 2FA, my accounts still could be hijacked if they offer a password reset using my phone number (or if they offer a fallback 2FA to SMS, which I recently encountered somewhere). I should probabl

And if you have been exposed to a very loud noise, to the point where your ears are ringing (probably not from headphones, but like starting a loud bike in a garage or gun fire), go to hospital, as soon as possible. They can give you medica

The people pushing the agenda see racism everywhere. The attribution probably has never occurred to most people in tech, because they are not obsessed with other people's color or beliefs.

I don't like the idea of government having full control of these services. I believe that we need fully decentralized system, much like the e-mail, but realtime and E2EE. Sadly, it seems to me that we're taking the opposite direct

Also here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXY3jm34RFU I can't find it right now, but I also saw someone doing this with some version of Google Now (or what it was back then) and serving different assets into it.

This might be different elsewhere, but here, the apartments on lower floors are typically rented and they're cheaper than those on higher floors. It's the case at the building I currently live in, although it's because on the

By definition (or at least by a definition I recognize), model is a person or thing used as an example to follow or imitate. Personally, I don't really care, but I can see why it might be difficult for some to accept some of the perfor

Turn off wake-up by alarm in BIOS, if you can. Windows just wakes up whenever it wants and if you, somehow, manage to make it stop in the settings, it only works till the next update. At least that was my experience.

I do the same (well, I don't use OneDrive all that much). I use my e-mail with Outlook exclusively and what I did was creating a new local Outlook account, in which I move all my e-mails from time to time. That way, there's an off

What's horrible about it? I just download it, unzip to Program Files, add the folder to my %PATH% and that's about it. I didn't find myself in a situation where I would need an Apache or other webserver, the built-in one is g

At where I live, trading water is forbidden. We rent appartments and we must not have any profit on the water. Usually, the consumption is separated per person, but sometimes that is not possible (when there are stores, for instance). For a

Czech Republic. There are few exceptions to this (power plant control computers, stuff like that), but generally, it's illegal. EU is a bit less restrictive about this, but company-wide, systematic monitoring is forbidden everywhere.

I have recently scanned addresses within a radius of my town and there's still a lot of cameras with default credentials or with no password at all. It's getting better over the years, but not quite.

Years ago, it was too complex for me. I recently switched to Gogs and I'm satisfied with that. But that's Git only.
