That would work if every family member were okay with dumb terminals. Unfortunately, some of them require dedicated GPUs. Routing thick black DP cables and bright blue USB throughout the house feels a lot less natural than just installing e

If the airline really doesn't care about the quality of water, then there might be other things in the water beside bacteria. Boiling will not remove chemical contaminants.

I actually wish I could round up every computer in my home, stick them in a 19-inch rack, and put that rack someplace where I can't hear it. That would be my "data center". It will be fed with a fat power cable and a nice fib

SMTP clients are designed to try again with exponential backoff. If the final attempt fails and your email gets bounced, now that's an error. Until then, it's just a delay, business as usual.

Yes, mix-and-match is the way to go, depending on what kind of skills are available in your team. I wouldn't touch a mail server with a 10-foot pole, but I'll happily self-manage certain daemons that I'm comfortable with. Jus

I think French (and by extension, many Western) and Japanese people just emphasize different aspects of the restaurant experience. Order a sirloin steak anywhere in the Western hemisphere, and you know almost nothing about what it will look

Faster M.2 drives are great, but you know what would be even greater? More M.2 drives. I wish it was possible to put several M.2 drives in a system and RAID them all up, like you can with SATA drives on any above-average motherboard. Even a

Unfortunately they seem to filter special characters on input, that is, when you apply for your plate. But don't despair! Depending on how crappy the cam's firmware is, NULL might just do the trick.

The people who produce dinosaur illustrations don't seem to have as much of a problem with adding all sorts of details (extravagant plumage, wacky colors/patterns, starry eyes and acrobatic postures) that are neither directly supp

They probably used whatever paint was closest in chemical composition to the residue they found on the statue.

Well, at least a DC fills vacant lots that might otherwise attract crime. I don't know what realistic alternative the residents have in mind, but I'd say even a few jobs is better than the urban decay that's been destroying M

You also don't want to create an iceberg at the point where you dump the water back in the river.

I wasn't talking about the FAA definition specifically, only that military pilots probably have a narrower definition of a near miss than civilians do. They also seem to be overconfident in their ability to identify, track and evade ot

Practically, the water would need to be somewhat warmer than 0℃ because you don't want it to freeze and clog the plumbing after you have extracted a useful amount of thermal energy. :)

It's hard to use them consistently because there isn't a single universally accepted definition. Most people would consider the Netherlands a "country", but now we have a country within that country. Israel is a state, J

The Air Force is probably used to flying much closer to one another, but civilians are not. Even in a busy airspace, jet airliners are usually kept apart >1000ft vertically, and much more horizontally in the direction they're moving

Yeah, they had relatively simple requirements so BIGINT was a quick optimization. MariaDB can guarantee uniqueness of auto-incrementing integers across a cluster of several servers, but that's about the limit. Had the requirements been

The space requirement and index fragmentation issue is nearly the same no matter what kind of relational database you use. Math is math. Just the other day I delivered significant performance gains to a client by converting ~150 million UUI

Perhaps the car is programmed to ignore all external signals for a while if it detects significant disagreement for a prolonged time, as might have happened if it had access to both WPS and GPS during the ferry ride. In such cases it would

My dad used to have a crappy aftermarket GPS in his car that did the same thing. It would get lost dozens of miles away, and then hundreds of miles away. The explanation I found online at the time was that a GPS receiver needs to download d

How would a criminal enterprise use Bricklink to launder money? Buy expensive Lego sets with dirty dollars, and sell them locally for clean money? There's certainly an opportunity for arbitrage there, but it sounds awfully complicated

You could set up a script that lives in the cloud (so you don't have to), receives PRs through webhooks, fetches any associated diff, and stores them in S3 for you to download later. Maybe another script to download them all at once, a

D usually refers to the second internal storage device these days. Either a second SSD, a large HDD, or an extra partition in your system disk. If you don't have any of those, a USB stick might get the D drive temporarily.

I remember when A and B were commonly used drive letters. C was a luxury. D was outright bourgeois. But for some reason, drive letters starting with C feel completely natural, too. Maybe it's because C is also the first note in the mos

There are probably more people around the world who know about The Little Prince from the distinctive illustrations that show up everywhere, than there are people who have actually read the book. It's like Peter Rabbit. Everyone instan

This problem plagues so many well-known works of literature. Modern American classics like The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird have also been forever tainted with unpleasant memories of high school classes.

It's one of those books that strike you with a completely different meaning when you read it as an adult, than when you read it as a child. Which probably contributes to its enduring charm across the generations. I think everyone shoul
