I was super impressed by the O’Reilly book, which throws you right in to writing a multithreaded Mandelbrot set plotter. It also goes through writing a multithreaded HTTP server. Pretty neat!

I'm hoping that more apps start accepting NFC security tokens for mobile apps. Apple says they added NFC FIDO-2 authentication support in iOS 13.3[0], but I have yet to see an app that allows me to authenticate that way. [0]: https:&#

You’re correct! They take it pretty far: for instance companies are collective nouns, so they would say “Apple are releasing the new iPhone.” In not sure where it stops, but I’m vaguely suspicious that countries are singular nouns.

But that’s exactly how I would say it: “millions of dollars was at stake.” To me, what you propose seems like a mistake someone just learning English would make. Give it a specific sum: you wouldn’t say “two million dollars were at stake,”

If you're dealing with multiple processes persisting data to different data stores, you're dealing with a distributed database problem, which has many more failure modes than the ones you've described here. If there's an

Maybe not, but a properly tuned and lubricated bike is waaaayyyyy more pleasant to ride and may help to encourage increased bike use. It's easier to do stuff when it's pleasant.

I read somewhere that they were working on better Firefox support. Is there any associated timeline with that?

This issue has its own wiki page on the BTRFS wiki: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID56 So, no, that particular issue hasn't been fixed.

The PLB is really a single-use device. When activated it's supposed to be able to continuously transmit for 24 hours. On my PLB, the batteries are rated to expire after 10 years, after which you buy a new one. Making batteries replacea

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your experiences up! I have found SAR fascinating for a long time, and am kind of interested in getting involved, but it seems like an insurmountable commitment.

I have one of these beacons and take it with me most times I'm going out alone into the wilderness. I don't want to be the guy who had to cut his own arm off after it got trapped by a falling boulder. That being said, this is an i

ITT: People complaining that a purposefully minimalist phone doesn't have the very specific feature that they want. If the point is to be reachable by a loved one in an emergency and nothing else, this seems like a reasonable option.

My photography teachers stressed the importance of "culling" your work and displaying only the best photographs you've taken. I think allowing 1000 free photos is very generous for a fine art photography platform, which is wh

I've successfully deployed this strategy in the past. I used to run a service off a personal server for a bunch of MUDs. Eventually I didn't want the responsibility of hosting some important infrastructure for them so I sent them

I used to think this way too, but I’ve since come around to a different way of thinking. Unless photos are taken for documentation, it’s more important for the photo to capture the feeling they photographer is trying to convey. 5 minutes

Can you give some examples of how you use this? Do you use the words by themselves? If your partner is being overbearing and annoying do you just say “soufflé” and they stop talking?
