There's probably an email client that could do that. If the SMTP endpoint won't allow it there are email clients that talk the Gmail API directly. You could probably ask ChatGPT to write a program using the Gmail API to delete all

Possibly, the ESA relied on it for revenue. Though PAX is run by a for profit event company, I think. PAX is better at managing a public event. E3 wasn't originally open to the public, and once they opened up it was never done very wel

I do love C# as a language, and I've been wanting to reach for it more for tooling and backend things at work, now that its cross platform is good. (I've mostly used it for Windows GUI apps previously). I'm more confident tha

Yeah, it would probably be easier to move back to individual files from packfiles. Assuming that the main motivation for packfiles was layout for HDDs and not filesystem overhead.

Interesting, it looks like steam doesn't have any special handling for inserts/offsets and just handles 1MB blocks. The extra disk IO probably just comes from rewriting large files: > Next - to update the pack file on a client

That's really cool. There are a bunch of tools that will let you symlink or hard link deduplicate files, but being able to do block-level dedupes simply by leaning on the filesystem is nice. It sometimes feels like games are made to th

I use ZFSBootMenu on my servers. I was going to mention it. Love it. Only had to use it once to boot to an older snapshot, but it was so much nicer than the grub console. Do have to make sure you don't let it get too old and upgrade yo

I had some hope that this biographer wouldn't take Burton's claims at face value, but alas. The Bradley was designed to survive 14.5mm HMG fire. This is in line with IFV doctrine. The three most important layers of the survivabili

I'm going to assume that at least one popular interpreter uses a weak hash function for its hashtables/objects, and I haven't ever heard about it being an issue.

I'm not convinced AMD has a good AI play. (Disclaimer: I hold a long position in AMD). AI hardware seems like it can be much simpler than GPGPUs, given the successful implementations by many companies including small startups. AI hardw

I was expecting a broader type of question, rather than a series of more focused questions. I don't think the focused questions are "leading questions" necessarily, but it is sort of like "I have identified these risk fa

Looks like it's taking a small loss per unit in COGS terms, but the division is taking a large loss in development expenses. Not surprising or really concerning. I am surprised by only 96,000 electric cars sold in 2022, though. I see e

I'd buy a new station wagon, but I wouldn't pay $70k, or whatever Volvo wants for one.

I had this same issue in a .NET program. "Whoops, forgot to SetLength(0)" But now in hindsight I probably used the wrong FileMode, since FileMode.Create is supposed to create or truncate.

That index measures the affordability for buyers. If the houses are very affordable for their current owners (due to low rates locked in), what's the mechanism for them to default? Mass unemployment, I suppose. But that doesn't se

I heartily agree with the conclusion. It's not worth learning Rust to write your REST API (with the possible exception of code that needs to be very reliably fast, like starting a new HFT firm from scratch). But if you already know it

The investor in question brought that up right after saying "absolutely not." The problem is: he said "absolutely not."

Yeah, the bespoke ways the kernel does things makes me wonder if a linux-kernel-specific language could be a good idea. Almost certainly not, but I think that Rust/Nim/Zig/Carbon/etc. have shown that it's not insurm

Dask looks really cool, I hope I remember it exists next time I need it. I've been pretty baffled, and disappointed, by how bad Python is at parallel processing. Yeah, yeah, I know: The GIL. But so much time and effort has been spent e

It also seems likely that navigation is much more standardized. Ships follow more regular paths, so it may be easier to jump from ship to ship (at least compared to the 1700s or earlier).

You can implement an SSD controller in an FPGA. That's how all the early server SSDs were implemented. I think my Fusion ioScale was one of them. It's just an enormous amount of effort. This already looks like a huge amount of eng

I just got security camera that has a low quality stream (720p15) and a high quality stream (4k25 H.265). On its web portal it can show the low quality stream as HTML video, but for the high quality it requires Flash, for some reason. Did

I remember The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2004) used them quite a lot. I remember the effect was so obvious that I noticed it despite not knowing what it was or what it was called. Good looking game.

If you're going to hold until maturity, I don't see how the debt ceiling affects you significantly (any more than it would affect the entire asset market). The treasury will pay you eventually, likely within days. If you are holdi

For legacy reasons, my filesystem is full of files and directories with spaces. Are they impossible to deal with in shell? No. Quoting, print0, it's not even hard. But it's like taking a Sunday stroll through an unburied minefield
