It's actually quite handy. I built all the various things by hand at one point, but had to wipe it all. Instead of following the directions again I just downloaded this. Being able to swap out models is also handy. This probably saved

More like the guy who engineered this situation is an asshole and they don't want to work for him.

If you want a data store, just use a NoSQL server. If you want an RDBMS, learn how to use it. At least with NoSQL you know you're trading ignorance for ease of use.

FYI, one secret in the world of automatic translation is "the better the transcription the better the translation." Seems obvious, right? We've been looking at whisper to replace AWS transcribe. It could be that AWS will just

For some reason "For the honor of the regiment" got stuck in my head and I went and dug it up (along with the rest of the bolo stories). "Stand and be judged." - motto of the 39th.

Just finished re-reading a couple of the old Bolo tank series books by keith laumer. Wow those were hard to find.

Enables, but does not guarantee. The PPC ISA is simple, but the POWER chips themsleves were never designed for power efficiency. Likewise the ARM ISA is now associated with power efficiency, but there's nothing in the ISA itself that m

That's hilarious because that sounds like the old sync-on-green problem that Macs and monitors used to have. And that used to happen a lot with Dell monitors. How very odd.

"Better regulated" in this case means "less methane emissions." There are other definitions of "better regulated" that don't include "les emissions." This is the headline bullshit that the guardi

In addition, a huge amount of the time you spend will be trying to figure out what the code is actually supposed to do.

Oh, the great thing about 1.4 lenses is you don't need a flash - but smaller apertures get weird because the depth of focus gets really short, so you have to learn out how to deal with that. Example: with a 1.4 lens if you focus on the

It depends on what kind of photographs you're taking and the conditions. If you're going to be taking pictures of people indoors with bad lighting you need a lens with an aperture of 2.8 or less, probably a 1.4. If you're goi

In general, JSON comes over the network, so MMAP won't really work unless you save to a file. But then you'll run out of disk space. I mean, you have a 1k, 2k, 4k buffer. Why use more, because it's too much work?

RAM is always expensive no matter where you get it from. Would you rather do two hours of work or force thousands of people to buy more RAM because your library is a memory hog? And on embedded systems RAM is a premium. More RAM = most cost

If you're building a library you either need to explicitly call out your limits or do streaming. I've pumped gigs of jaon data, so a streaming parser is appreciated. Plus streaming shows the author is better at engineering and is

No, in English there are many, many words for blue, some of which are only known by women and interior designers. In english the amount of precision you use depends on the context and the shared referents. You could say "bud light blue

These are always interesting to read because you get to see runtime quirks. I'm surprised there was so much function call overhead, for example. And it's interesting you can bypass range checkong. The most important thing, though,

Fogbank lives! FYI one theory is that the plutonium used in h bombs is embedded in aerogel. That way it’s stable yet easily implodable. This came to light a few years ago when it came out that the DOD forgot how to do it.

The way to reduce s3 egress fees is to use CloudFront, negotiate your cloudfront fees down, then use s3 as the origin.

Not all the audubon societies are changing. IMO it's ridiculous. Why not change the name of the Democratic parry while they're at it? They were the party of slavers.

Whatever you think of Musk personally, he's one of the few people trying to move the needle. According to Wikipedia design started in 2015, which means it's taken them more than 8 years to get to cash-flow break even. This is why

As a customer of US Bank in the US, I can attest to the fact that they aren’t as reliable as I’d want. Their website and app tend to be “under maintenance” quite often. I think you overestimate the reliability of many bank operations.

I love these tiny stacks because it shows people that not everything needs to be a super complicated implementation that takes years. Of course it needs tap but it might not be too hard to get it to work with an phy driver directly.

There was an observation about natural selection I heard a few months ago which is pretty obvious once you see it it: adaptations only matter during the period that you're fertile. Mutations that increased long-term mental illness didn

None of this would be an issue if ISPs actually dropped UDP packets. They should run at a lower QoS by design. After all, the UDP spec explicitly calls out that it's unreliable. Yet IRL nobody drops them, ever, except during mitigation
