It's so intuitive, how could I have missed that?

But yet, the pigs who built the houses of straw and sticks got eaten. The pig who built the house of bricks is seen as responsible, even though it took longer and cost more; he made the right choice. The wolf is seen as ever-present. Failur

I'm not the target audience for this, but THANK YOU for putting a description in the title, instead of letting me eagerly click it thinking it might be a speeds/feeds/stickout calculator for a lathe boring bar or something.

If you're able to do it at the memory controller level, would it be as simple as making two controllers always operate in lock-step, so their refresh cycles are guaranteed to be offset 50% from one another? Given that the controller ca

Dang. I had previously gone back and found some old posts I remember, I believe it was through Dejanews, so theoretically they exist out there. What's your data source?

A lot of auctions are like that. The party making the listing has no clue about the items, and exposes themself to liability if they guess wrong, so it's better to just put no information at all. Unlike eBay, with traditional auctions,

Hi, I have worked in numerous shielded environments, built one, and am in the process of building a second. Wifi works perfectly fine inside a shielded enclosure, if both the AP and the client are inside the shield. It should not work acro

Boredom and being alone with your thoughts is not, as popularly believed, fatal.

My recollection is that the .MOD tracker music scene was the same. Credit your samples and nobody bats an eye! Be seen as "stealing" a sample, and you're persona non grata. It's really that simple.

So that becomes the next question -- will we see an ecosystem of modifications and adapters, to desolder surplus and decommissioned datacenter HBM and put it on some sort of daughterboard with a translator so it can be used in a consumer ma

That's another lifetime-limited thing -- the helium leaks out, and you cannot (for practical purposes) stop it or even meaningfully slow it down. When it's gone, the drives are dead. And the helium leaks by calendar-days, it doesn

How do you view thrift stores, then? Genuinely curious. All the same items, one or two steps further removed from the family.

If you're going to sell the car with the modified firmware, fine. But at least in my jurisdiction, I can mechanically modify the car in any way I please, as long as it still has seat belts, brake lights, and bumpers of a certain height

Oh, all the estate sales I go to are run (and posted) by third parties, who do it as a business, for a percentage of the sales. The heirs are nowhere to be found -- they got a first pass through the house a few days prior to grab anything s

Thrift stores throw out things THEY don't think are valuable. Skip that bottleneck, go straight to the estate sales. Every Thursday around lunch, I open up Estatesales.net and browse the sales for the upcoming weekend. There's typ

I have a few of them, and yes, they're worth every penny! (For posterity: Mouser and Digikey et alia carry these things and let you search/filter by cell type. They're not cheap.)

It's absolutely wild to me that this function would be so important as to justify all the time and effort to create not just two, but six entirely different ways of solving it. The first one seemed perfectly adequate to me. But I guess

It sounds like they didn't do a good job of putting the DIMM version in the hands of folks who'd write the drivers just for fun. The read path is sort of a wash, but writes are still unequalled. NAND writes feel like you're m

Exactly. I happen to have all AMD sitting around here, and buying my first Optane devices was a gamble, because I had no idea if they'd work. Only reason I ever did, is they got cheap at one point and I could afford the gamble. That un

For some reason, there was a whole series of brassica oleracea memes going around in 2020 (does that make it a meta-meme? or is that the meme itself, and the images are just instances of the meme?), and they're still wonderful. Just im
