The cache here means read-cache. Write-cache, that is a delaying state update for performance reason probably needs own category.

BankId works even with non-smart phones. Plus it’s storage of private keys is more secure than the crypto-storage on cheaper smart-phones.

Methanol is an alternative to hydrogen. With current technologies it is less efficient to produce it and then generate electricity in fuel cells, but storing it is trivial.

There are no studies that show that a diet where one consumes animal products occasionally like 2-3 times per months is worse for health then pure plant diet. This is even when one does eat meat, one eats it a lot. Apparently body is able t

Arrow of time explained via thermodynamics is a circular explanation. Thermodynamics follows from equation of motions or field equations. In those the time is different from space in that from conditions across 3 space coordinates at partic

From the equations and models of modern physics there is no time. The universe is just a curved 4D surface with one of the dimensions having different properties than the three others. This surface has at least one strange point with singul

There is a famous recipe of winning a cocking competition. Just add more salt and sugar. So for quite a few people that defines a taste. But if for some reasons one do not exposed to that, then I suppose food without salt or sugar tastes no

My grandmother told me that before the second world war for a typical peasant family in Belarus the meat meant a single chicken 2-4 times in a month for the whole family. Only on big celebrations few times in a year people could afford to s

Meat taste comes mostly from salt and souses. People who tried home-made sausages or grilled meat without any of those complained that it tasted like nothing. The problem with tofu sausages is that one just cannot add that much salt as to m

Try to use zram memory compression with zstd compression algorithm if your kernel supports it or at least with lz4hc. I use this setup to compile Chromium and run few memory-hungry processes and the system is responsive during compilation.

Modern Go solved the problem of control over native threads threads. But it is puzzling indeed that it took almost 10 years despite popularity with containers.

I am vegan for ethical reasons. If one does it carefully, it is not worse than any diet with meat health-wise. So essentially killing animals for food is not necessary and one does it out for pleasure or out of laziness. As for other points

Yes, I am vegan. As for saturated fat I have no idea what if any can be wrong with it from human health point of view. Literature and observational studies are contradictory and it all depends on the whole diet. But I do know from personal

In Mongolia in rural areas people eat just meat. Dearth from heart decease and liver cancers are leading causes of dearth there. On the other hand, life expectancy in Mongolia is 70 years, while in mostly vegetarian India it is 69.5. Just f

“carbohydrate“ is extremely bad term in nutrition. There is fundamental difference between eating whole food plants like potatoes or drinking sugary drinks. Yet both are formally carbohydrates.

FP helps to avoid the mutable part of “shared mutable state” or at least reduces it to the minimum. Another pattern is linear or affine type system like in Rust. They helps to avoid the shared part while keeping things mutable with ownershi

I am rightly, but a few years ago I tried to use the mouse with the left hand. To my surprise it took just couple of days to adjust. Clearly with the right hand I could press buttons faster, but the precision of mouse positioning was just a

Grids must be very stable because there is no storage at the end points. If electricity consumers are very OK to be without electricity for few hours per day that alone makes grid much cheaper.

With dirt-cheap renewables it will be more efficient to generate methanol from solar or wind electricity and to use it for long-term storage and redundancy than to burn natural gas or coal. And compared with coal or natural gas with methano
