Has anyone tried plugging all of their internet-related equipment into a UPS, including the wall box? Will that allow you to keep VoIP working in the event of a power outage, or is it a pointless exercise since the ISP's equipment on t

Yep, the cost of keeping the model up to date would be negligible compared to the hosting bill.

If I were to enter the CAPTCHA-breaking business today, I'd probably use one of these services at first to collect a million correct solutions for $800, and then use that dataset to train my AI. Once the AI is good enough, I can buy a

Many people vote for parties, not individual politicians. Unless a politician fucks up so badly that they completely ruin their party's reputation, people will keep voting for whichever candidate their favorite party endorses. Parties

Yeah, the problem with "just use feature detection" is that most of it only works on the frontend, or by having the frontend send additional data to the server after the initial page load. Sometimes you need to optimize things for

I dunno. Theoretically, it is both necessary and sufficient to escape on output. But programmers make mistakes. Perhaps escape-on-input can be understood as a sort of defense-in-depth strategy that people adopted in environments where they

PHP-FPM has a ton of debugging, logging, and performance-tuning options, but in most popular distros most of them are disabled by default. If you get a Dockerfile from somewhere and just tweak pm.max_children, you're likely to end up w

It happens more often than one might think. I know I've typed "guthib" at least a few times in the last decade or so that I've been using github, and coincidentally I just caught myself mistyping "decade" as &q

It doesn't, at least according to the current documentation. Not sure why they would need a class for that when they already have a primitive type that does the job. I guess maybe a new OO interface will have its parameters ordered mor

Even that depends on what you're doing. Most scientists aren't running apps that require several 9's of availability, connect to an irreplaceable customer database, etc. An outage, or even permanent loss of hardware, might no

Perhaps if we keep it in orbit long enough, robot technology will improve to a point where we don't need to send any humans to service the Hubble anymore. Also, servicing the Hubble is exactly the kind of mission that commercial space

Except, forces that be won't be particularly thrilled about letting a formally verifiable, safe and secure operating system dominate the market. There's going to be serious resistance as long as humans are at the top. Maybe strong

Just charge more for the longer-lasting blades. Don't forget to make them incompatible with every other product on the market except your own proprietary, overpriced handle.

Define "cool". I dunno about the author, but for me "cool" means something like $temperature < 25C && $humidity < 60%. No amount of ventilation is going to keep a building "cool" like that when th

As a starter, look for a "dumb" service that doesn't treat photos differently from any other type of binary blob. No thumbnails. No grouping by date or location. No tagging other people. The storage service should only concer

Here in Korea, almost every household has heated blankets and mattress toppers. Most are heated with wires, but some have elaborate hot water tubes running through them. They come with their own thermostats and timers. Different parts of th

If you tell nginx to limit itself to 4 workers x 1024 connections per worker = 4096 connections, and hurl 10k connections at it, of course it's going to throw errors. It's doing exactly what you told it to do. That's just one

Just call it JS already. Forget about the "Java" bit, as JS really doesn't have much to do with Java anymore. Forget about ECMA as well -- that's a mouthful -- though I strongly suspect that the people who design JS beli

You must have been pretty good at billing every single hour you spend on your clients. I was once told that it's unwise to expect to bill more than 50% of the time I spend, so I've been sticking close to $target_income / 1000

Totally agreed. I would much rather sit in stop-and-go traffic for an hour than stand in a crowded bus or subway for the same hour. Especially with all the sensors and smart safety features that modern cars come with, I don't feel that

Unfortunately, modern mass production and mass consumption has detached us from a lot of the nuances you would like to see in food. We just chug down a cheeseburger, one of the millions of identical cheeseburgers consumed every day. We don&

Network transfer is only a small part of the equation. You can't just rsync files into a fully managed RDS PostgreSQL or Elasticsearch instance. You'll probably need to do a dump and restore, especially if the source machine has b

Last time I checked, nearly every database worth using on a busy site supported some sort of real-time replication and/or live migration. If that doesn't work, there's always the backup plan: say the magic words "schedul

I'd assume it takes more than 5 minutes to bring up a complete copy of the HN database on a different platform. Deploying source code is trivial these days. Large databases, not so much, unless you're already using something like

Genuinely curious: can I hook up the Air with a single ultra-wide monitor that's exactly as large as two regular monitors side by side, or is the screen resolution limited, too? I'm thinking of something like [1], though it will p

I wasn't a fan of Unity when Canonical was pushing it, but I totally agree that it was better than the GNOME Shell version we're left with nowadays. On the other hand, that impression might be because the default GNOME apps back t

I'm not a big fan of JTB epistemology, either, but you can't help regressing to some sort of common ground in order to make conjectures and refute them. In order for someone to make a conjecture that A does B, and for someone else

Every chain of reasoning needs to bootstrap with one or more statements that are entirely self-evident, such that they don't need to be justified by reference to other statements. Otherwise you run into an infinite loop. "I'm
