I think the point is that people want to be useful, especially if they're good at something. If people can't work (for whatever reason), we really shouldn't be trying to make them. That just burdens their coworkers/peers

Crunchy granola digital soyboy here: I can't think of any reason why this is a good idea since tools already exist to disable voting and comments for PR. Heat, kitchen, etc. It's the money; probably Hollywood. Maybe the Whitehouse

Unix sockets aren't in the standard java libraries either, which probably meant it was a non-starter.

I thought that was because it's designed to only jump time once at bootup so that TLS/logging can be sane... so that an NTP client can take over starting at a close offset?

The wireless is something for guests, and is hacked together with something you know works with an open router OS, or something off-the-shelf on an isolated VLAN.

by fl0wenol 6y ago
You're in the boat of deploying OpenWRT or similar low-cost APs presenting the same SSID on a shared VLAN, plugging them into your favorite PoE switch, and manually configuring their channel strengths, etc. It isn't so bad if it&

I think they mean that you have to read in the whole archive (incl. decompression) to see all the files; that there's no option for an index that can be immediately seeked.

TBH it was one of the things I liked about Slashdot. Essentially everyone was thrown into a pool and was expected to moderate, but it was completely random. You also got thrown into a pool to meta-moderate. Those whose meta-moderation score

I think the trick would be to realize that the texture on the mirror or portal represents the same screen height and position, just at the virtual screen location of the mirror/portal player behind it. So you render the screen space co

The way Portal works was to render the world from two different camera angles, one at the portal exit, and the player view, and then combine them with a stencil buffer. This allows for recursion if desired. It also allows for moving portal

For me it's when they do that faux: "hey guys, I was looking at my metrics and <insert percentage here>% of you who viewed the last X videos aren't subscribed, so it would be really great if you hit that bell" I me

>(remember when SlashDot was the HN? It’s now the place to go, if you want ASCII-art swastikas). I think it's always been like that. The GNAA (when it was new back in early 2000s) was copying the template of existing trolls by chall

The hospital is well within their right to request a 3rd party certification as a proxy for their evaluating a potential business associate before exchanging information, since as a covered entity they can be held liable for something that

While the sentiment is generally understood, you should really mention that the type B didn't fix the main issue of Type A, in that it didn't recess the face and/or extend the prongs with a protective sleeve.

Any code authored by or for (exclusively) the government is default open. Usually all it takes is a FOIA request; if you're lucky they're publishing it on github already. However there are carve-outs for areas where making the cod

So that's why they added it to the 2 for $6 menu. I got them all the time when it was on there. Anecdata, but ... It's basically the only thing I get from Burger King anymore. And I'm not vegetarian or anything, I just had co

I think part of the confusion here is that Visa's role in fraud detection / prevention is not well understood. Issuing banks are the entity (in the US at least) that know about the cardholder. The merchant bank is the entity that

This alone makes me really uncomfortable because then what the hell are you paying for? On the one hand it's a way to give an artist more money directly, sure, and tie it to the specific work. But you could just do that publicly or ano

It is one and the same. What's more is that it isn't some sort of ironic twist of circumstances, it's just that there aren't a lot of organizations you can call for that kind of work at scale.

American finance and regulators really like paper with ink signatures. I think it's perceived as a lower fraud risk, or easier to nail someone criminally because of the paper trail. You can get free settlement on a check under certain

Look, kid, so it's not a cabinet level department in the executive branch or anything. It's little PCAOB, and a little Post Office. Point being it's not autonomous nor private.
