So far the law had desired effect, and the companies making it hard to opt out are actually breaking said law, just nobody yet bothered to take them to court for that.

I believe not having opt out be as easy as opt in is breaking that law and they could be sued

The newer ones put thermocouple and heater in the tip so you get much faster reaction, which means they can get away with less power as they react faster. Not gonna help with desoldering some thick cables tho, for that you need raw power. T

It's thanks to heater/thermocouple in tip. It allows it to react far faster to temperature changes than old style of tips that were just a piece of metal.

Except you can get remarkably good ones for cheap now. It's no longer that you have to spend $60+ to get something good > This is like saying you should buy lifting shoes, a belt, a pair of gloves and bands before you go to the gym

The newer ones have similar advantage; while the old ones had thermocouple in the handle and tip being just a piece of metal, the new ones have tip with integrated heater and sensor, putting it way closer to the tip and thus reacting super-

I read it whole. It's terrible and makes some weird claims. It's like author didn't understood difference between "surprised" and just plainly interested.

You can be interesting without being "surprising"

by ilyt 3y ago
That's not knowledge, that's trivia

> The article is specifically about writing talks, or possibly articles. In that context, using surprise to ensure your idea lands makes sense. The article literally says "Use this rule in all your public writing. " It's g

That's a terrible advice. If you write in a way where writer is constantly surprised and not just interested you're a terrible writer, at least when it comes to passing knowledge, vs making sensational articles for ad revenue

Semi-related but it's shame default cron in most (all?) kinda fucking sucks at everything. There is no builtin spreading so */5 job on 500 nodes will get you nasty spike in CPU load. Logging options are pretty much "parse ema

Eh, just boot time is better one, doesn't change so it doesn't eat that many bytes in whatever TSDB you use

I mean, if you fail to code it correctly in the first place then fail to set up reasonable auto restart policy then fail to monitor it as well, yeah, shit will eventually break

sudo systemctl show [servicename].service -p NRestarts any way to do that on all services aside from looping ?

You achieve availability by redundancy, not by running around with shotgun murdering your cattle.

That's certainly a way, especially that reinstall takes about as much as full upgrade. But I use configuration management anyway to keep the machines consistent, and, well, upgrade is less work than reinstall... especially if talki

Similarly Debian with their election system which seems to work fine

by ilyt 3y ago
That heavily depends on distro. Debian upgrades "just work". Even had colleague accidentally upgrade 2 releases at once (put too new repo on one of the old servers) and it worked without a hitch Ubuntu? eh, usually ? CentOS/R

Yup, competition breeds innovation but captialism will do everything it can to not have to compete. Patents, secrets, pirce fixing, and walled gardens, anything but trying to compete on actual product

It actually might be pretty decent one as it was using freon which is very good at its job. The process didn't change all that much, neither did engines used in compressor so it is mostly "how well isolated the fridge is"

I think for any long term products the designers of interface after they get to the optimum are just changing shit to keep themselves employed, while long time or professional users are just getting annoyed on having to re-learn stuff.

There is a level where you don't care about more improvements. Fridge is a box of cold stuff. I don't need much more than that. Sure it could be slightly more efficient but even 20 years old ones are pretty efficient, and I&#x27
