Except back in the DVD rental days, Netflix could rent out basically everything instead of having to fight for exclusive content rights. You could subscribe to Netflix or go to Blockbuster but you could get the same selection more or less a

There are plenty of useful/interesting things, e.g. reactive lights, more proactive climate control, controlling ventilation on demand, presence based interactions etc. Some of this can be achieved with dumb solutions, e.g. humidity co

The reason these companies keep faltering is that they push cloud-based and/or locked in product ecosystems. Then they are either forced to a) operate on a pyramid scheme where new customers finance the ongoing costs of existing users

Do any of these mini PCs have rack mount options/kits available? It seems like all the affordable+low power opn/pfsense boxes don't have options for rack mount other than plopping them on a shelf. Even the official ones from

CLion supports Fortran via a plugin. I've used it a bit and it's fine. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/fortran-support.html

It's a dumbed down RouterOS (afaik they use the same base but I'm not certain) with a lot of features stripped out to focus on just basic switching features. It also has a vastly simplified webui. As the other commenter noted you

To be fair to Mikrotik if you just want basic/intermediate switch they have SwOS, which is FAR easier to set up. I also find RouterOS to be extremely unituitive, but SwOS is a breeze. I think most of their switches can run either and e

Because the logic inside blocks can contain constructs that do stuff that aren't expressible as physical hardware, but are useful for other purposes/otherwise expressible in Verilog (some people think it's an anti-feature suc

I think you mean block based designs where you define blocks as inputs and outputs with the logic inside, and then you can piece together and group blocks with wires possibly in some sort of visual editor or similar format? This is already

HA remote access is not paid only, it works fine if you make it accessible from your local network. You can also do Google/Alexa integration on your own, there are instructions in the documentation. The paid service handles SSL and dyn

GPyTorch also absolutely crushes the Scikit implementation for Gaussian processes in my experience. Scikit is a treasure, but maybe not my first choice for performance.

I agree, I love BTRFS and have used it for ages, including some small scale production systems. But I know it still has some edge cases as you mention, which made me wonder: what is the impediment to having those cases fixed? BTRFS has been

I vaguely remember seeing something about them contributing some minor security patches or something token. The BSD license doesn't require them to of course, which was probably the whole reason Sony chose it.

Sony also doesn't contribute much of that code back to FreeBSD.

VBA viruses were quite prevalent for a while, though mostly primitive. The mitigation strategies put in place were not perfect but they were effective enough to move malicious actors towards more attractive vectors.

I have mixed feelings. On paper I agree with you, people should start with POSIX shell. In practice I'm not sure how relevant that is anymore. I'm not really convinced bash should be the default thing people learn, but I think t

I would assume if you put /bin/bash as your shebang that you're expecting to get bash-isms. I think the problem you're complaining about (which is a real one) is people putting /bin/sh and expecting bashisms. D

qBT also has a nice WebUI that has feature parity with the desktop version (or at least near enough that I don't miss anything), which is very useful. Other clients (e.g. Transmission) do too, but I like qBT the most here.

Correct, I was hand waving over the distinction but I suppose it's important. LoRa itself is the radio layer. I still think of it as something targeting industrial use cases, though there have been some neat hobbyist projects using it.

Zigbee has always (or at least, for a long time) targeted a mixture of consumer and industrial applications and is focused on relatively short range mesh networks. It does have a lot of consumer uses now, it's one of the big protocols

by gh02t 5y ago
LoRa isn't really a consumer protocol, more of an industrial one. It's mostly intended for widely distributed sensor networks.
