Sure! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV-B_lamps Or do you mean market as in "consumer market"?

Many professions have some kind of "last resort" explanation, which is (sometimes jokingly) used when no one has a clue what's going on. When I meet people with an interesting job, I sometimes ask what their last resort expl

Playing the devil's advocate here: not every box has a writeable filesystem.

There go your Hackernews Meowmeowbeenz. Meta enough to be totally worth it, though.

Well, I am Austrian, and I consider them both desserts and main courses.

Crowdsourced? Like what we did when we tried to feed cows to cows?

But to be frank, while Austrian desserts-as-main-course could qualify as vegetarian cuisine, most main courses aren't vegetarian, and at least include a little bit of bacon here and there.

Spiders consume twice the biomass of all adults on earth every year, so I think it's safe to say: Animals. Both in number as well as in weight, even if all humans adopted the US lifestyle (120kg meat/year).

Reducing the number of children is an aspect that rarely comes up in discussions about environmental impact (not necessarily about food), even though I find it a very compelling argument. In some countries (hint: not the US, or most of Euro

Yes, I think that's exactly what I meant in my sibling comment!

Interesting, my model of a pathogen (mostly shaped by my biology teacher), was one of a symbiont not completely adapted to the host body (yet). This was decades ago, but when I later read up on the microbiome, the image of an alien infestat

Back in the days when we used Maven, we had an involved asset building system. It was very hard to shoehorn this into Maven's fixed lifecycle phases (they might be customizable now, I don't know) to the point where we had a Maven

Me, I dream of a monorepo covering the whole world. Give me a single hash, and let me know the state of things as they are, reaching from the toolchain used to compile the bootloader to the state of the database, which has just dropped a ro

An hour could be much much too long, depending on what service you are protecting. It's long enough that even assuming that token theft is a non-stealthy operation, and the user reacts immediately, the attacker has a lot of time to exe

From one of my projects (a MMORPG) I've learned that the required accuracy in non-financial transactions is often underestimated, while, on the other hand, financial transactions are often less critical that initially assumed. After al

Except on film, where we usually just tape a bunch of cats together.

mbasic.facebook.com for anyone reading this and looking for a way to work around Facebook's dark UI pattern on mobile, where a click on the "messages" button wants you to install the app.

Came here to post exactly that, I really enjoyed that feature back in the days!

Funny you should say that mobile users on Reddit have no UX problem with vertical videos. Here is how the above link looks like on my mobile device. Original link (to classic reddit UI), mobile version horizontal, mobile version portrait, r

I think the battle is lost, but I'm a little bit sad seeing the sky over a city being filmed in vertical video.

UUID has version and variant information encoded, but there are no fixed bits. So all 128bit numbers are potentially valid UUIDs. For forward compatibility, a database UUID type will set the correct bits when generating a UUID (v4), but man

With WebSockets, you also have just one lookup when opening the connection. No scalability issue here.

64.3% of it. 14.3% is a wordplay, and 21.4% is explaining the joke, if you count this post fifty-fifty.

All of you have a mean pedantry going on.

I like that all of the issues you bring up around ML can be read as applying to a human expert/craftsperson as well! (still with a wider margin, of course)

Well, there is unshare. The problem really is network devices, which require tinkering with C.

The question is: which languages _require_ their own root filesystem. Because all of them can join the single executable party now too.

Yepp, almost there. I'm still waiting for some mechanism to statically link a distributed binary, so we can get rid of kubernetes too.

With sous-vide, I'm always wondering a little bit about food safety (BPA and friends). Is there any reason to be concerned or is it just FUD?
