After reading the measument rules, it is… complicated. From what I can gather, it seem that if any of the components (deck, culverts, sub/superstructure, waterways, etc) receive a ‘poor’ rating, the whole structure is marked as struc

Those states also have some of the fewest bridges, with the exception of Texas, which has the most of all states, and double the second place state (Ohio). That said, Ohio is 41 times smaller… So many ways to dice this information and I don

Interesting. Have definitely come across this phenomena in technology. I never considered that a new social phenomena would emerge from a BDSM blog.

The author cites this page, which refers to them as ’sites’. I suspect English isn’t their first language, and they’ve missed some nuance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Michael's_line

.home is fine, but .local is used by mDNS like Bonjour. In practice, it doesn’t seem to cause much problems for printers and AirPlay.

I’m holding out for a draft RFC to deprecate .local for mDNS, and allow it to be used for local domains. It’s practically infeasible, but one can wish.

I’ve often wondered when the DRAM-backed storage revolution was going arrive. Not long ago, 64GB SSDs were the bare minimum you could get away with, and only the most expensive setups had 64GB RAM. Now we’re seeing 64GB modules for consumer

Exactly, I’ve done similar maths on my disks, and realised that it would be 20 years before they approach their end of life. By which point, they will be replaced for some new tech that will be cheaper, faster and more reliable and power ef

In order to make any of these interstellar dreams at all useful, we’d need to master the ability to explore the full gamut of what a solar system can offer. It’s just not sexy enough to make headlines.

Then you could use this technique to achieve something like a 1.2TB disk with 40PB TBW? I’d be fascinated to hear any potential use cases for that level of endurance in modern data storage.

I wonder if it would be useful as cache disks for ZFS or Synology (with further tinkering)?

Even better, a logical fuse that would make recovery impossibly expensive and timely.

The ESP32 is meeting the needs of people doing IOT things that they used to do on the Pi. Why deploy a $25 Pi for a custom weather controller that uses ~2.5w, when a $5 ESP can can do the same thing on 25mW, and run off a battery? ESP32 is

Especially the pre-paired ones. I’m wary of older Logitech Unified dongles, but the newer Bolt platform offers a bit more comfort.

That line seems to emerge every time a new supercomputer is commissioned on the US… in fact, the naming of Los Alamos’ new Crossroads, along with its predecessor, Trinity, have obvious roots in IS nuclear testing history. https:/&#x2F

We added 6.3 gigaFLOPS per second on 2022-23, based on an increase of 200 million gigaFLOPS observed on that period. This is in contrast to 20 gigaFLOPS per second in 2021-22. It’s nil in 2020-21, but that seems only partially attributable

I’d argue that the regulation for ‘alternative control enabled’ (ACE) pumps [1] is too vague. These devices should be ‘designed to reliably and securely communicate with external devices’. These incidents were caused by the app crashing,

It seems also obvious that one would want to simply drag a box around the content you want, and the tool would just provide some examples to help you refine the rule set. Ad blockers have had something very close to this for some time, with

This comes up frequently. 8GB is sufficient for most casual and light productivity use cases. Not everyone is a power user, in fact, most people aren’t.

I think this is one of the janky PoC’s I recalled from the ‘oughts. I don’t really like large touch surfaces (they remind me of broken interactive displays in museums), but I’m surprised the concept hasn’t evolved further.

A better way to frame it instead of one user per project, is to have one persona (casual me, working me, planning me) per workspace, each of which can only be used by one identity on the whole machine.

And I will never forgive them for it. I aggressively uninstall all traces of ubuntu-desktop after a new build, and usually regret doing so by the end of the night.
