This is going to be one of those cases where the professor makes a well-nuanced detailed well-researched sympathetic statement, the press turns it into a headline that makes him sound like an insensitive clod, and everyone just reacts to th

No results for that search. Here is the full text of the article I see: The Great Resignation Movement is turning the US job market upside down. Around 4 million employees left their jobs in July 2021, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor

In fact, it doesn't look like anything is being resumed at all. He's switching to a different job sector, not resuming the old one.

Tell GIMP not to include the EXIF and XMP data (which doesn't get any smaller when you decrease the quality). Then tell it to use 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, and set the quality to 24 or so.

Agreed. The dog picture actually looks acceptable in jpeg format at 19kB (original 123kB).

They'll ID you if you did something wrong . If not, for instance if they're randomly pulling over cars to check for drink driving and you're clean, then they don't need to ID you.

I'd say definitely increase that limit. I have a 4TB file hanging around over here, I'm sure others have bigger ones.

It should be noted that the photographs that the news outlets use in the articles about supermarket shortages are mostly from last year. It's deceptive.

I use ZFS on my main computer, but it sends its backups to a tiny computer with two laptop USB drives plugged in, running Btrfs RAID-0. (The second drive was added when the first one filled up.) I did it that way because it's the secon

Typically in DF, you lose because of a hilarious sequence of events that overwhelms your fortress' capacity to cope, not through undocumented behaviour and bugs.

That's a good inference to make, yes.

I bit this particular bullet a couple of months ago. Turns out that a very cheap board like an Arduino Nano Every has a power voltage regulator (that will accept 6-21V supply) and a built-in clock, so you don't need to integrate anythi

One thing I learnt from a Gordon Ramsey TV programme is that the chef traditionally doesn't get any of the tips, because they are expected to be paid properly anyway.

AIUI, Postgres rotates its WAL, so once something is acknowledged as having hit the storage, the WAL entry referring to that write can be thrown away and that WAL space can be re-used. When you do pg_start_backup, it just temporarily stops

Amazon has adverts on TV saying how wonderful it is to work for Amazon. My first thought when seeing them is, that's a PR campaign, and the truth is almost certainly the opposite.

There are still systems lying around that these can be plugged into, giving the performance improvements with full backwards-compatibility and the original chipsets.

And this raises the other point. If I license my software under a non-free license such as CC-BY-NC-SA, there is absolutely nothing stopping me from licensing it additionally under a different license. I can do that if I'm the copyrigh

I think the Debian example is a useful one here. If you release your software under a NC license, then it can't be integrated into Debian. The reason for this is that Debian is freely available for anyone to download and install. Someo

I worked with someone a while back who had huge separated spikes in the hair, and who cycled to work. I watched them putting on the cycle helmet - it was done extremely carefully, with the spikes poking through the holes.

This presumably does add a defense if you are ever dragged in front of a court accused of posting fruity things through your own account. You can argue that since government agencies have the power to do that as well now, it cannot be prove

It doesn't need to be manual. par2 is a command-line program, so it can be automated. Yes, ZFS is better for in-flight data, but it makes sense to create par2 files for your backup archive files, if you're then sending those files

That's interesting you mention Haldon Hill. They may have got the A38 bit right, but if you go up the other road, the A380, then there is a quite sharp blind right bend at the top that clearly hasn't been done right.

This is the most important point. The EU is big enough that a large proportion of the world has put the cookie popups in. Whether they have done it right is a matter for a separate argument. The UK changing its laws isn't going to chan

I think what you're describing as xenophobia is fear of the other. What I see here is the fear of someone who would actually like to do the right thing, but has fear of what their own kind will do to them.

Sounds like fear to me.
