There are gaming consoles, or you can just not run their games, it's not like there aren't literally thousands to choose from. They're also just games, cheating is not a life or death thing, or it shouldn't be. Alternati

You can migrate docker deployments to K8s just by adding the parts you were missing, so when in doubt, it always makes sense to start with docker, docker-compose, and only consider K8s as an alternative to docker swarm.

The Internet Archive just announced a no-waitlist book lending due to COVID-19, I'd guess their servers might not be too happy about the inrush of users. http://blog.archive.org/2020/03/24/announcing-a-na

If you want to ask those questions, you also need to ask what's the alternative. What happens if we continue business as usual and 5% of the population dies in a couple months? What if the virus mutates and another 5% die in the next c

Semicolons in JS is how you differentiate between someone who understands that code ambiguity leads to pain, vs someone who shouldn't be allowed near multi-line statements.

The important part is the cortex, so in this case he might have lost some white matter connectivity but kept most of the gray matter structures. IQ of 75, though.

Half-life means that after 5750 years half of it will have decayed, then half of that in another 5750 years, half of what's left in another 5750 years, and so on. That's about 20000 years for still 10% of the original power output

The same as from using Electron, but a step further: less overhead from unneeded browser features, ability to lock the user into a kiosk/fullscreen mode, while most of the code is still reusable.

If people want to use WebAssembly to write non-browser applications, then it needs some non-browser API to replace the user interaction capabilities a browser's API would usually provide.

I'd also wonder how that "watching" time gets counted. For example, I know of people who would turn on the TV, then go about their chores, but they aren't paying attention to whatever is on. Would that be better or worse

Ingesting data and evaluating it according to some model, sounds like what a good cluster node would do. No need to permanently store neither the data nor the output on the node itself, but you might want it to update its process via learni

You can't opt not to use it if you have to work with someone else's code which does use it.

If the project is a dead end, and nobody knows how to change that, it sounds like a good idea to let it die.

You may find some cheap Chinese "body massage" vibrating devices with adjustable speed settings, probably in pink. You may not want to trust them with any intimate parts, but I've found that they're great at vibrating to

What kind of "value" can not be specified as a feature? Whether it's a better SLA, expertise adapting the product to the customers needs, or anything else, those are just features which some clients may want, and others may n

They correct the predictions for past data, but I'm sceptical as to whether it's possible to correct for emerging feedback loops when the results of the analysis are public and cause a change in the behavior patterns being analyze

It's transparency when the information is about protest planned for the next day or further in the future. It's less clear cut when it becomes more of a "barrier has been breached on this street" along with "cops ar

"Peaceful" does not mean destroying the streets, setting cars on fire, throwing incendiary devices at the cops, or bullying those who don't agree with you.

That one seems to be a cloned repo, the blocked one is at https://github.com/tsunamidemocratic/tsunamidemocratic.githu... It returns a "Repository unavailable in your location" message, which is kind of ironi

The user probably wants to know where they are in a list while scrolling, but otherwise it shouldn't be a problem to reclaim that screen space by hiding the scroll bar when they're done.

Simple solution: add a blur gradient at the bottom so people know there is "something more" going on down there.

Possibly when it can be converted into a massively parallel execution of simple rules.

Probably true, but also COBOL usually encodes the business logic, which is much harder to throw away and rewrite from scratch, than any presentation layer written in PHP.

I wonder if privacy conscious browsers making their users have to solve more captchas will lead to more people disabling the privacy features... or there will be a time when captchas may become micro transaction based, so for a fee you migh

That's the problem with any biometric data being used for authentication: once an attacker gets a copy, it's game over. Biometric passports are a means of identification, not authentication, with the biometric data being signed by

The more ISPs migrate to IPv6 and CG-NAT, the more free IPv4 addresses for everyone else. Wich means the migration will take a really long time. Also the only way to reach an IPv6 target from a IPv4 source is through a CG-NAT, so dual stack

Yes. Customer services, as in both support and feature development, should be enough to keep paying customers paying. If a bunch of "use at your own risk" software can replace it, what's the actual value of a business?
