What about the content of the article? I admit I’m a NYT print reader as well and don’t really look at their online content, so I wasn’t aware. It makes sense in context of my comment that they change the title, but wondering if they run t

My wife and I were just discussing this. I could tell it was poorly constructed just scrolling through. I guess what I don’t understand is how this gets to the top. Don’t other people see this garbage and just ignore it too? Is there anoth

It appears to me that recent trends include a lot of titles that seem more click-baity and often have quality of content that matches low effort, attention grabbing titles. I don’t think it’s necessarily a HN problem, but instead a trending

I’ve never seen rack mount kits for that equipment. Best bet would be to buy some rack shelves and affix standard equipment to it. Get a little horizontal PDU or 2 for the back side and you’re made.

Originally I got interested in radios when I learned to deploy wifi for industrial applications. The big thing with industrial applications is interference and reflection. You typically have a lot of large structures made of metal or other

Specifically selecting the right type of antenna and placing and orienting it correctly. Very easy for omni’s (mostly). Terribly annoying for spatial or directional. Radios are fascinating. Optimizing and enhancing your radio capabilities i

Reddit mobile site does this when you tap a post. It drives me nuts. Then you have to hit back, which refreshes Reddit and brings you back to the top. I think it’s intentionally designed to get people to switch to the app.

People get what they deserve. All joking aside, I find that mentality to be one of the things that helps people grow. Start using Arch, have a problem, run to the forum with a lower effort question/no troubleshooting or research and yo

It is great. I honestly used to use it to automate pieces of work in a software that had terrible bulk tools, but now that I’m more on the management side I heavily use it to substitute words/acronyms. I have it expand all my acronyms

Remember old phones with buttons? I bet everyone over 30 could have texted a someone with their phone under the table or in their pocket. I’m sure there’s some people who could do that with a touchscreen, but not everyone

Unfortunately my company is relatively diverse and we have different departments that do vastly different things. I would settle for an unambiguous narrative from our director though, who manages all the silos in out department. I think tha

Unfortunately I think the solution is very much the users and content, not the tools. What I mean by that is you need to have documentation on processes and workflow. That needs to be drilled into peoples heads and routinely audited. As emp

John? Just kidding. Yea, unfortunately I think a lot of people are suffering in the age of overtooling. Need a notes app, department X is using OneNote except for Mike, who is using Notely. Department Y uses obscure Markdown notes app wit

I’ve been with the same company over the past 12 years. My group started real small and we had a great rapport. This was 95% in office (sometimes we were at customers or something for days/weeks here and there). We would go out for dr

There’s actually new functionality that has been specifically designed with no GUI on purpose. Do a google of split brain DNS. The only way to set it up is by creating additional DNS zones and creating DNS query filters. Can only be done in

Yea, there are many things in windows that you adjust (hack) in the registry, but there are many things that you cannot. There’s also no guarantee that when you make a mod like this that it will last forever. You’re at the whim of MS and an

Completely agree with you and Linux is great for my home computer, but for some of us Windows at work is an unwavering reality.

Haha, yep. Sorry, I was relying on the context.

Some of the people I work with don’t understand cmd/posh syntax. Additionally they are often working with air gapped systems, so copy paste is not really an option. Those 2 things make it really difficult to have someone do something b

I work as a “contractor” and when I sit down to work with some sysadmin they watch me and ask out I bring up the old style config windows. One of them had started a sheet while watching me with all the run commands and helper phrases (North

I did it so long ago, so I’m not quite sure it was this. A quick google gave me this: https://windowsreport.com/windows-11-right-click-show-all-op... There are a few things out there, but I always trust a good ol’ registry

That new context menu is garbage (for me). I use advanced functions regularly to the point that after a day of being on 11 it bothered me enough to figure out how to revert to showing the “advanced” (old) context menu.

I find the (mobile) site difficult to follow. It took me awhile to realize that the “Become an Expert in Linux” was actually a clickable link and not just a slogan banner. That link brings you to an explanation of the phased learning approa

I’ve been meaning to get a flipper zero, but I would love to see that device with a standard gig Ethernet port. The flexibility would be amazing. PoE for bonus points. However, for ultimate utility I think the next iteration of my packet sc

Agreed, got my degree in BME and it was probably evenly split between Bio, EE and Mech E. Went on to work in industrial automation, which a lot of people look at me with a questionable stare, but actually makes perfect sense. I remember goi

In my…not too old, but not young years I am finding that I will quite often forget my phone at home. I find this to be of almost no consequence. I still carry a “wallet”, which is really just a stack of few cards. I live in a city, so if I

Understood, but the point I was making is that I would not associate the word hose with vacuum unless someone else makes the connection for me. I guess the broader point I’m making is the same as others have said. It’s a poor measure of cre

by procarch2019 4y ago
Yes, agreed. I used the word hose, thinking garden hose, and vacuum, thinking of absence of matter. That specific pairing came to 47. I now see why based on the explanation of the test. However, even if I had meant vacuum like the cleaning
