As an Australia I still long for the multi-stream download of GetRight. I regularly use axel (or aria2c) to just get my connection to 100Mbit.

I also got rid of quite a few browser extensions that were handy but I just couldn't bring myself to spend time trusting them. It would be an interesting exercise to try and build an open source organisation around developing and publi

We really need better tooling for this. It is possible but you have to parse snaps which I think is expensive ish. Would be great to get something useful info commonly used tooling though.

I read somewhere the native camera app also does but many including Samsung have their own app instead. Cannot vouch for that. On the flip side there are QR apps in the top 100 App Store apps because the built-in support in camera is not re

Be mindful that can give you Time Of Check/Time Of Use (TOCTOU) security bugs though. The buffer can change out from under you.

There is somewhere a compiler that outputs to all sorts of crazy languages including awk, sed, printf, etc.. but I can't find it right now. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. I feel like it did LLVM IR to a bunch of l

Back in the early 2000s the community wireless network in Perth Australia “WAFreeNet” made a token passing system for WiFi to solve the hidden node problem (obviously not for mesh networks like this): http://frottle.sourceforge.n

By contrast I hear stories of AWS doing this quite often for one-off mistakes (crediting thousands of dollars). It doesn't make much sense to me not to consider well-intentioned requests for this sort of thing. Especially if you consid

This was a great read but it was really short on at least -some- kind of technical detail about the cause of those graphics bugs, even a glossy one. Would love to be indulged a little more next time :)

lol this resonated so hard with me - and I work from home and always have even pre-COVID so no commute. I have a 2.4 year old. It has been getting a bit nicer of recent in that she's talking so much now that I'm really enjoying ha

Though “BootCamp” is dead they 100% give you the option to boot unsigned software (unlike iPhone) and it will be possible to boot another OS. However obviously that OS will need drivers and they aren’t available and apple aren’t making them

This is 100% a problem I was working on for a customer recently. nproc specifically does not currently check your CFS CPU cgroup quota, i.e. you may have 12 active cores but only a budget of 4 CPUs worth of CPU time. This can be an issue. I

Some would say this amazing diss by Captain Disillusion at BlenderCon had something to do with the major interface changes in Blender 2.8. The entire presentation is hilarious but for the interface related bit I've linked to 21m15s her
