On a tangentially related note I recently found another manufacturer that is very similar to MikroTik: Teltonika. They are also based in a baltic state (Lithuania) and manufacture a range of inexpensive mostly-commercial-focused networking

Presumably the dose can be altered such that for a given individual their appetite creates a caloric equilibrium at close to the target weight. I don't think this is something that is done currently. The side effects of chronic use don

The margins on that must be incredible. An ice cube tray plus some foam packing material, for $40. Didn't even bother to encase the foam in a blow-molded shell like a cooler.

Well it worked for twenty years or so.

He doesn't face prison if he loses, and he'd probably run again and have a good chance to win, depending on how it goes. I wouldn't bet on him not pulling funny business but it's not out of the question.

Please post it on HN because I won't remember to go looking for it.

You should be able to do this with basically any file system by using the mount options `async`(default) `noatime` disabling journalling, and massively increasing vm.dirty_background_ratio, vm.dirty_ratio, and vm.dirty_expire_centisecs.

They usually are Michelin star presentation tools. But "Alex French Guy Cooking" on YouTube showed them being really useful for a lot of things, basically how some people use chopsticks. I really like them. They're like ton

Yeah. You can get very large cooking tweezers which can perform the same job, but easier for those of us who haven't been using chopsticks all our lives. (I can use chopsticks okay but I can't just pick them up and immediately gra

I'm working off the hypothesis in the article: > I wonder if RT work is a lot less predictable than rasterization workloads, making workload distribution harder. For example, some rays might hit a matte, opaque surface and terminate

It's a list of things you can choose to do, and it discusses the trade-offs in most cases. It would be terrible advice if it were framed as "do all these things."

Presumably the WGPs are working on rays which start close to each other in space, which causes the potential occupancy problems mentioned. I wonder if you could shuffle the rays around a bit to help occupancy at the possible expense of cach

My dad spent the first 12 years of his career working on the Advanced Gun System for the DDG1000 destroyer program. Never got used. I can understand why he has such a disdain for government waste.

Interesting. I've been aware of this technique for years because of the SQLite Amalgamation, but that was always sold as a way to simplify distribution and perhaps improve performance of the binary. I hadn't considered it as a bui

I wondered why .NET let you lock any object, it seems like a strange feature. I figured they just had a spare bit in a bitset somewhere. Should've known it was copied from Java.

There are economies of scale, in the sense that (very roughly) material costs are a rounding error and scaling up the reactor doesn't make the design more complex it just makes the parts larger. The Gen III+ reactor designs all went b

Because it wasn't obvious to me for a while: the Play store version is old, basically broken, and vulnerable [0]. Don't install it. The description does mention this relatively high up, but do you really read through the descripti

I've been looking for a large comfortable neoproene mousepad/desk pad which is conductive and can be grounded. I think this would help prevent damaging your computer or peripherals from ESD. I haven't been able to find anythi

Technically TSMC doesn't use nm. It's the N2 node, not the 2nm node, but tech press is the way it is.

It's not "a single photo of a damaged chip" there are at least 4 different public examples that I've seen. Not that it changes the scale of the evidence much. The fact that the vendors are acting so quickly about this su

Yeah I've noticed that YouTube almost always recommends me one or two videos with less than 100 views now. Must be a relatively recent change. The videos are often pretty relevant and pretty good, which is a bit depressing. Seeing peop
