FS will literally sell you heavy-duty Armored (e.g. thicker/stronger sheath) cable and the packet it comes in will be labelled "military grade". That's literally your scenario. Is one supposed to send it back for a refun

I think this is a different, new rename? It was renamed last year, but I don't recall seeing office in it's entirety being called "The Copilot App"?

Even so, the borrow checker repeatedly profiles as an insignificant part of compile times, so wouldn’t make a difference.

When does this cease to justify any possible retribution? How many murdered palestinian children, or emergency workers, or aid workers balances this out? How much torture of prisoners?

It’s honest. Time was when the number of improvements in every release was impressive and sometimes radical improvements. For at least a couple of years it’s been nothing but AI, I am happy to ignore updates and should probably just turn th

Oh christ, absolutely this. We spent some time evaluating FPGA for our purposes and ended up GPU instead (algorithms we running can be adapted to strength of either). The concepts are easy enough but learning the toolsets are an exercise in

Trying to argue that neutrino experiments use GPS time, because they do? I’m sure synchronising all the worlds detectors over direct fiber links would… work, but, they aren’t. Unless you are trying to argue internal synchronisation in which

I wonder why we bothered building GPS signal waveguides into the bottom of a mine then. Clearly we should have consulted the experts of hacker news first. Losing NTP for a day is going to affect fuck-all.

All these use at least GPS for timing

They seem to have gone all-in on AI, for commits and ticket management. Not interested in interacting with that. Otherwise, the built in admin on one-executable was nice, and support for tiered storage, but single node parallel write perfor

Yet. Gitlab has proven in the past perfectly happy to hike prices above GitHub, after attracting enough switchers.

I know lots of people who still use google. Sci-hub has ceased to be mentioned or considered when scientists/grads I know look for papers. Everything has gone back do “Does your institution have a subscription for X?”.

by misnome 10mo ago
Is Sci-Hub still relevant? Haven’t they been frozen for like 5+ years at this point?

So, a company cutting costs, a tool to let you chatbot faster, and musical slop at scale. This doesn't sound like "creating wealth at unprecedented scale"

Right, but, this is just a single data point anecdote, right? Let’s say for same of argument that there is a 5% chance of overheating in five years - and another sub-percentage where this causes a fire, depending on where it is plugged in.

It is supposed to in Mac Spotify, it’s just a bug that apparently isn’t important enough to fix. You can hit Tab then Space, and it works normally (yes this is fucking awful).

We accidentally ordered a load of “Generic brand” 100G QSFP from FS. Everything worked and appeared fine from the perspective of the switch and cards, reported OK status for everything, _except_ the lasers never turned on. Switching to an E
