Assuming the reference is to an upright fridge/freezer with the fridge compartment above the freezer compartment, one reason for less efficiency might be that the freezer has to contain a fan to push the cold air up to the top of the f

Your experience made me wonder how that blocking stands up against accessibility legal requirements in various countries.

One downside to storing these images on the (FAT) EFI System Partition is it is not possible to make it part of a software RAID device, so if the device the ESP is on dies suddenly, the boot fails AND it can take quite some time and effort

In the interest of balance this ncc-services-wg message by Max Tulyev appears to provide some background and seems to imply a possible power-play by Ukraine parliament/government people and for which no evidence of actual 'rogue&#

I join you in these sentiments - born-n-bred on the farm, still there, and hacking software since 1981! My most regular outburst of swearing is about 'dev-ops' and lack of engineering discipline and occurs almost daily :)

Has your organisation tried sending a letter from your General Counsel to the General Counsel of LinkedIn? There's a strong case for arguing the content negatively affects the brand value, etc., of your organisation and in some circums

Wet Lettuce, Damp Squib, any more!? I always thought Truss was more like an Android than anyone I've ever encountered. Lack of emotive expressions, eyes that seemed to stare rather than scan, and so on. Maybe later we'll find it w

I thought it was a Cabbage! - since 'cabbage' has a double-meaning in colloquial English meaning 'incapable' :D I think the journalists(!?) missed a trick there.

This is a great way to express support for Ukraine. It is also aimed initially at foreign IT businesses. A much better, earlier, overview of the extent of the aims and opportunities are found at "Government green lights e-residency in

No connectivity for the retailer's device, not for the customer device. There are also quite a few payment terminals that still do dial-on-demand to get authorisation from the merchant service provider (Chip&PIN/NFC Contactles

Lots of great advice here along the lines of "is it really worth your time and energy", but if you really want to tackle it don't focus on the hardware, focus on the existing (proprietary) software, and wrap it with your own

I think it may be you feeling overly cynical. I was using this style of enquiry with new hires 20+ years ago as a natural step to ensure we would get the best out of them - it just seemed like an obvious thing to do. I don't like stick

Thanks - that may be a way to deal with my hybrid requirements; I have to make the solution work with a 30 year legacy of existing pages that make use of apache functionality in various ways. Whatever I do has to apply incrementally as I (s

Thanks; transclusion is a good descriptive word for it although hard to grok until you read the explanation! Multimarkdown sounds rather like pandoc which I use in other contexts.

Yes; initially that was what I was, and still am, considering. I hesitate because some of my existing content uses mod-include and other apache httpd functionality in different ways for different purposes. I considered segmenting the site s

De-duplication, or rather, not duplicating in the first place. Perfectionist requirement :)

Yes and No. The very limited functionality of mod-include and apache httpd expr-essions isn't Turing-complete and cannot be manipulated by client requests. Secondly, as these are tightly integrated into httpd it turns out to be extreme

How does this avoid the nesting bug? There are actually two bugs currently for my use-case: 1. The existing one where the code intended to detect nested includes fails to detect it 2. No way to know if nesting is happening, what level, or h

The point here is NOT to have the site-generator (SSG) create complete index/overview pages that would then include all the titles+summaries, but instead to understand a <!--#include ...>, parse the document it points to, and be

You know I'm not sure... TCP is stream oriented and supposed to handle lost packets so I'd think the TCP layer itself would handle the pause. If the sender doesn't get an ACK for a packet then it'll resend that packet l
