It isn't an absolute fix, but there are some window tinting kits on Amazon that are relatively cheap and don't permanently damage the windows. Might be worth a try! I have in the last made good use of cardboard to block out unhe

Don't be taken in by the idea that balance for the sake of balance is some kind of absolute good. If I say that the earth is flat, and you say that the earth is round, the newspaper headline probably shouldn't be that nobody can

I assume it's because Republicans are, on average, more butthurt about technology companies of late because of the bare minimum level of fact checking some of the social platforms have engaged in during the most recent election cycle.

There are other operating systems and CPU architectures. It's a boon for open source projects to be able to have CI on all the BSDs, and illumos, and Plan 9, and even weirder things.

I don't know why they would do that now. They're doing their own ARM thing, and the contingency would surely be more x86, even if not from Intel.

Under the current leadership the LNP inches closer to the GOP with each passing day, so, I don't expect they'll be perpetually to the left of the Republicans.

This is what happens in countries with higher labour costs, and it's basically just fine -- provided your core cultural experience doesn't drive you to expect a separate staff person to fill your water cup every time you set it do

How can you hear them over the noise? Modern communications technology has given everyone who wants one a megaphone. I'm not sure the old calculus really applies exactly to the present circumstance.

I don't believe it's identical at all. Eternal terminal is a TCP-like abstraction that adds another layer of tracking and acknowledgement so that the reliable ordered byte stream can be reconnected and resumed. Mosh is more like

That's not really true in noisy areas. The available radio spectrum is limited, and as more users inhabit an area you are basically time-sharing. The less time you have to send packets, the more latency some of those packets will exp

This shell script presents a number of relatively serious safety issues; e.g., * no quoting of the arguments * no error handling; if any of the git commands fails, the script will drive on and probably do the wrong thing; should at least us

As an Australian living in America, the expectation that there will be a person to refill your water cup is pretty uncomfortable. The need to tip is a ridiculous abdication of the responsibility for labour laws to ensure staff a living wag

The design of the Intel audio stuff in the Skylake systems is pretty horrid. Previously things had HD Audio hardware which was at least sufficiently self describing to be able to attach a general driver. The new stuff depends on this topo

You could self-sign a certificate, or if your internal URLs use a subdomain of a public domain you control you could use DNS challenges for Let's Encrypt.

I recall experiencing at least one application that would crash if you declined to rate it in the app store. I'm sure it was just shoddy implementation, not handling some condition correctly, but it was hard not to feel like it was

Yeah honestly I prefer the "automatic pastebin" behaviour, because the alternative is that walls of pasted text end up destroying channels. The Matrix bridge is mostly just doing what we ask regular IRC users to do; viz., use a p

Whichever facility receives and processes the inbound keystrokes. In simple software that uses the terminal in canonical mode, the line discipline (usually in the kernel) handles the batching up of bytes into lines before passing them onto
