Trying to remember what I researched 6 months ago. 1. You don't want to use AIO on Linux because "the driver’s AIO implementation is a compatibility shim that just barely passes the POSIX standard"[0] and is bad for performan

There's Windows Containers[0], which are analogous to Docker containers. They can either be run shared-kernel or in a Hyper-V container. Also Virtualization-based security[1], which is supposed to be completely transparent so it's

Can you define AAA in a way that excludes Fortnite, and "AAA studio" in a way that excludes Epic Games?

Many European countries have extremely generous benefits for raising children, but it has been broadly ineffective at raising birth rates - with the possible exception of the Czech Republic. I agree though that governments are going to try,

Since I bought into the Omada system due to the HN hive-mind shifting against Ubiquiti, I'll take this opportunity to write about the experience. The system is obviously inspired by Ubiquiti. The hardware seems good, I quite like the w

Yeah I have to say working on character or environment design is much more fulfilling than working on designing store-brand K-Cup packaging. (Where the packaging has to match the shitty branding of all the other products so there's no

Why is a portable proof of contribution more valuable for a corporate donor than just having the corporate logo in the sponsors area of the website? If anyone bothers to verify that someone isn't lying about their donation they can go

I do get almost everything assembled, from JLC or MacroFab, but I've been tweaking precision analog stuff and I need a fast turnaround and JLC doesn't have the parts.

Related note: I spent a while trying hand soldering, hot plates, and hot air rework to solder SMT boards. I should've just gotten a cheap toaster oven like in the article. I guess I was scared off by all the people insulating them and

The runtime is huge because it includes a very large standard library. Using the .NET linker you can create a "trimmed" binary that only includes the code that actually gets used. A Hello World compiled this way takes 14MiB "

Adding to what ripley said, there's never been a great (FOSS) ecosystem of WPF libraries. By now half of them haven't been updated since 2012 and half of those have bugs if you try to use them in .NET 5+.

Yes, it all comes down to Broadcom. Of course, that is a choice as well. They could've chosen a more open SoC, though there aren't many options. Most open hardware projects use the NxP (nee Freescale) i.MX series, which have open

I've heard a lot of discussion about jitter by knowledgeable-sounding people. Caring a lot about the jitter of their various digital sources. What I don't understand is how does it matter? Why not just put a really stable clock ne

I imagine the Swiss have dealt with similar situations, I wonder what they would suggest? Pay employees way more is probably step one. I'm the "build more housing" guy, but it looks like the Swiss have chosen a different path

If you put the miners in a shack next to the well, you don't need a pipeline. Still need a generator and other infrastructure though.

There was a startup on here a year or so ago with this idea. They built self-contained cabinets and put them in people's houses as heaters. Wonder how they're doing. Sounds like an ops nightmare.

Storing 13,000,000 floats to disk per minute on user machines. Doubling storage usage for no reason is not okay, we're already having problems filling up disks with other data.

SQLite converts NaNs to NULL, and SQLite libraries tend to throw on encountering NaN.

It's can be a real problem when you need to store 13,000,000 floats per minute. Is it hard to work around? No. But every time I use SQLite it requires half a dozen little hacks to work around it's strangeness and I would prefer to

Well I definitely prefer the new strict mode, I'll enable that right away. I've long fantasized about a mode that would make SQLite behave like a normal SQL database, but this is not that. You still can't store a float in the
