I see zero trouble as long as it requires no additional identification, no additional payment, and no mandatory time limit for the sideloaded apps. That is, fine by me. I can wait for 24 hours once in a few years when I acquire a new mobile

The code can be easily communicated as a QR code. But a 100 MB file cannot.

Speaking of ad-hoc communication channels that do not require shared infrastructure: I like the idea of https://github.com/divan/txqr which sends data using animated QR codes. An ultimate guarantee of physical proximit

Petromonarchies invest a lot into alternative asset classes: semiconductor industry, logistics and shipping, power electric machines, biomedical development, etc. Renewables are in the list, too.

I suppose that customers who set up access controls based on IPv4 address ranges must be running an UPv4-first stack, most likely IPv4-only.

To my mind, it's still an automobile, but not a posh one. It's like "I wear a suit with a necktie, but my son wears fatigues".

The US, or Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela, or Russia could very well be energy independent on fossil fuels alone, even though that won't be wise. Europe, or China, or India could not though.

by nine_k 6mo ago
Yes, exactly as they would now, when the access over IPv6 is entirely unavailable. With that, the customers who don't use filtering by IPv4 would be able to use IPv6. Those who do use access control by IPv4 ranges would have time to

You can ask your favorite LLMs to imitate Hemingway; I suppose they'd be comparably successful. What you see as "AI-generated" looks more like translation, or written in English by a non-native speaker. The author is German,

What makes the technology (apparently the use of LLMs) hostile? Asking unironically; I try to understand fellow humans better.

by nine_k 6mo ago
Ever read Hemingway? Short, abrupt sentences. Sometimes incomplete. Observations with invisibly attached emotions. Their rhythm. Reader's imagination completes the picture like no author could. A powerful style, merely sixty years old.

by nine_k 6mo ago
I don't get it. For every customer which has access controls configured based on IPv4 (sounds crazy enough already), GitHub would configure a trivial DENY ALL policy for IPv6. Problem solved.

I would say that a proper sanitizer should remove any attribute that has /https?:/ in it. Maybe it should allow access to a subtree of a blessed domain you control, where stuff like textures is stored.

They would rather could go with an "organic" label, as in produced naturally, not synthesized. BTW I honestly expect the "certified organic content" label to appear on texts, music, pictures, etc, signifying the lack of

On one hand, it's an idea of organic growth and bringing fruit. OTOH it presumes that the meat is left out!

Sending a bazillion http requests within your LAN, or at least your VPC, is much easier, faster, and cheaper. Both yarn and pnpm support http/2 which speeds up the bazillion requests quite a bit.

More seriously, keeping a local cache of external npm packages, and a local artifact storage for internal npm packages looks like a wise thing to have done long ago. Might be cheaper in the long run. Ironically, both Nandu and Verdaccio are

If anybody would care to keep these drivers up, it would be easy to revive them as kernel modules. It's not that Linux is going to lose an upstream interface to publish events from a bus mouse. Support for 486 is another thing, but, fr

As an SSG user, I prefer the cleanest markdown as input, and putting all the formatting details into the CSS. E.g. I don't need `.abstract`, the CSS will format the first paragraph as an abstract without me asking explicitly. OTOH I se

Most cloud VMs have network-attached storage working through a billing layer, and its IOPS numbers are pathetic. This makes running your own DB in a cloud VM much less reasonable. Now you can use local NVMe, but you still have to set up you

If you prefer to use a service that's been around for a really long time, Network Solutions will happily sell you a domain! (Maybe Tucows, too; their domain-registering arm is now called OpenSRS, it appears.)

I'm likely not "most Linux ricers", but as a long-term desktop Linux user, I'm very bothered when I have to use macOS GUI, and explicitly want a non-macOS experience. (This is why I avoid Gnome, for instance.)

> Danika as "spokes" model People who base their technical decisions on considerations like that likely deserve the level of service GoDaddy provides :(

by nine_k 6mo ago
With all the publicity GoDaddy has received over the last 10 years or so, I wonder why anybody reasonable would deal with them any more. Maybe the prices are irresistibly low, IDK.

What I liked about their approach is that they picked things that would otherwise be considered trash (clay and dead tree branches from under their feet) and used them in a creative and productive way. This of course is not scalable. But ha

Look at the "winner takes all" situation in web search. Of course other search engines exist, but the scale of the Google search operation allows it to do things that are uneconomical for smaller players.
