America is huge. Why do they need to be constructed next to people's homes?

by masfuerte 2mo ago
Because you need to prove you have insurance to drive and the proof is on your phone rather than a piece of paper. I don't know about America but in the UK, if you can't provide proof immediately the officer will give you a "

Factories were originally located near housing (or vice versa) because the factories needed lots of workers. This doesn't apply to data centres. They don't need to be near anybody's home, so why should anyone be obliged to

What's the alternative? Seriously. He's spent six months trying to get them to fix it. The risk is already there.

You'd think. My local authority is reorganising refuse collection and did a mailshot to let everyone know the new collection rota. Then they did another because the dates on the first one were wrong. The incompetence is staggering.

Yeah, I like WPF and I still use it for my own apps. In fact, my own software is the only thing keeping me on Windows now. I really should take a look at Avalonia and port my stuff over to Linux.

There is precedent. The HTML title element cannot contain markup. Titles may be cited in many places and formatting may not be available. If a title requires formatting to convey its meaning it's a bad title. (Not that I want to def

I've been forced to use github projects recently. If I change the label or status, say, of a task, the change takes its sweet time to propagate through the UI. Creating multiple new tasks is a huge chore because every action is reall

Being pedantic, the COM vtable layout is defined independently of C++. The Windows headers used to (and maybe still do) have macros that could declare COM vtables as explicit structs so you could use Windows COM interfaces from C. That use

Money is power. That is the problem with extreme wealth. It provides unaccountable power outside the democratic process. It is not surprising that an already powerful man wants even more power, but I do not understand why anyone else w

It's quite frustrating. The story ends with: > four defendants refused to accept a plea deal and were set to be tried in April 2025 I can find loads of stories reporting those facts, but I can't find an account of what happene

Even NUMA is a "flat space of contiguous addresses". There's no bank switching or whatever. Yes, the access times are non-uniform, but that's orthogonal. The point of my comment to the OP is that if you're going

But physical memory is a giant flat space of contiguous addresses. Do you mean virtual memory?
