I used my router for this purpose until recently. It was difficult to keep up with updates, partly because openwrt versions for my router lagged other versions for long periods. I replaced my router recently and changed my strategy. Now t

Well, if you uploaded it to this site then you shared it with everybody potentially. They seem to be choosing videos that come out well as the demo videos.

I came here via ttRSS, with the Android app. I host it via the hosting service I've used for years, it only requires PHP and a Cron job. The Android app lets me keep ttRSS and its authentication behind a separate HTTP basic auth, whi

This is a graph entry tool I built, which sought to make it easy to enter, link, and display many pieces of data. One design goal was to make the tool easy to use and share even on fairly restricted corporate networks. A save file contains

Are you talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) lamps? I think most "full spectrum" bulbs will work, they sell them at hardware stores.

Some communication is possible... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_submarine... The VLF section above that one is also relevant.

I definitely assumed this would contain clever tips about how to handle it when coworkers don't respond to your emails, don't accomplish things they promised, or don't follow-through. Maybe some automation methods to handle

I agree. Perhaps the old user agent sniffing, from that recent age when Edge was NOT Chromium, is still mostly in place. This seems like the more likely reason to me.

I loved wicd, and had had problems with nm. Then I had a problem with wicd - interface issues caused by the deprecation of ifconfig in favor of "ip" tools (Debian). Wicd is a set of Python scripts that call ifconfig. So I submitt

Planet Money is a fantastic podcast that covers a huge variety of interesting topics, and only takes about 20 minutes. I highly recommend it as one of the most informative fun podcasts I've ever heard. But here goes... Fries don'

If the passwords are stored somewhere that's easier to access than your real target at the bank, then cracking the passwords might be helpful... I totally agree with your recommendations, but bank password storage/complexity definitely cou

My understanding is that asserts are for debugging, and exceptions/more robust error handling are for production. Asserts make the code blow up, which can make a problem easier to spot in dev/testing. In production it seems better to throw

Several people have said that these apps are crashing at an assert. How did asserts make it into production code? Is it just a C thing to make them debug-only?

Yeah, I like: z=dict(x) z.update(y) It's clear and concise, and it's obvious which one gets precedence, even if it's two lines.

The benefits that natural selection causes to propagate are those which improve the organism's reproductive opportunities. Those "benefits" aren't necessarily all that great when you've got a civilization. To take it to a ridiculous extre

Oh, for the women there's a .25 prob that a is used, and a .25 prob that b is used, and a .5 prob that c is used. Dad's X has the best chance, and his X may have made him a better partner than his peers. Also, a .25 prob for the X that ma

Hrm, if you're a girl, you get 1 X from Mom and 1 from Dad. So, if Mom's X's are chromosomes a and b, and Dad's is chromosome c, then your X chromosomes will be a,c or b,c with a .5 prob for each. With your suggestion, there's a .5 prob i

Well, I guess my point was that there are a lot of physical goods that US companies may not sell to these countries due to sanctions - political reasons. Certainly folks circumvent these measures. People also circumvent regional restricti

I suspect citizens of Iran, North Korea, China and the old USSR would disagree with that last sentiment. Ooh! And the US (Cuban cigars).

Right. They know that, even if they haven't done much about it. They want to be able to make their page slick, and a good user experience. This post documents their problems and provides a path forward. Kudos Facebook.

I agree. His post smacks of the same attitude that many people (negatively) attribute to engineers in general. The, "this is how I do it, so this is how everyone should be doing it," attitude.
