You still needed something to compare to, of course. When I first started using Linux (kernel 1.2.8, I believe?) it took 8 hours to compile a kernel on my 486dx/33 with 4MB of RAM. The endless hours of hard disk thrashing only told me

what do you mean by "any kind of lock"? All I can think of in this context is caps lock. Or scroll lock, may it rest in peace.

But my point was they could make more money if they had algos that worked on more people.

Nope, not at all. Minimal effort in fact.

Ah. I don’t use TikTok because I strongly dislike video content.

I get that this rage bait works on some percent of the population. 20%? 50%? 75%? What that leaves unanswered is, why aren't these platforms smart enough to adapt to what actual individuals react to? Sure, they picked the most successf

I feel much the same way. Facebook tried to sell me on threads by showing me an ad with 2.5 threads visible: one of them was clearly a racist post that I didn't want to see the conclusion of, the other was clearly a liberal outrage thr

It's probably really only "funny" if you're familiar with the meme. In that way, it's like many inside jokes. You can't really logic it out. It's like, when someone explains a joke to you, you can now unde

This is awesome! It's like a retro version of my youth; as someone 25 years older, I realize that not nearly as many people are interested in homelab/self-hosting stuff now. And it's not retro for retro's sake; Varun is

It's amazing how often finding the obvious cause of a problem only mitigates it, and you end up having to solve it 2 or 3 more times in the following weeks. In this case, there were NUMEROUS suboptimal or misconfigurations of DNS but n

I don't disagree with your principles; I was definitely on your side of the issue ~25 years ago and I suppose I still am, intellectually. I never changed my mind, it just wasn't important enough to me to put the substantial effort

Only tangentially related to your comment, but I've always found that people who live in dense environments complain about their neighbors less than those who have more space. People who have an acre or five of land see to ALWAYS be an

It is janky as hell, but it sounds like EV owners are making their lives more difficult in just slightly different ways from how you're making your life more difficult :)

Probably because the ban is likely better thought out than a flippant comment that, I guess, assumes the powerful anti-silica lobby (?) is much stronger than the poor downtrodden anti-concrete lobby (??).

Wow. I live in CA, and am starting on a remodel where I fully intended on using this stuff, having no idea it was harmful. In fact, I just assumed it must be better than digging/mining/cutting 'real' granite slabs and th

Agreed. It's stunning how quickly I went from paying $100+ to Comcast for 250Mbps down / 20 up (or whatever), to $80 to AT&T for symmetric gigabit, to $50 to Sonic for symmetric 10gig. And presumably they're still making

I see John Romero uses the same logitech webcam I do that makes me channel AvE every time I have to yell "focus, you fuck!"

Our agent presumably got $23k for finding our house. But actually, she didn't find our house, we found it. (to be fair, it was outside of our self-avowed search criteria because we had to settle on a 3/1 when we wanted a 3/2)

agreed, in fact I suspect it'll remain a green bubble for "insecure" but at least more features will be supported.

I sure hope I retire before then. Late 50s for me. New generation, indeed!

Yup, I clearly remember the EU regulators pushing for higher front ends.

Yep, I was going to comment on the blind spots. The massive A-pillars, especially, on newer airbag-equipped vehicles, makes pedestrians simply disappear. I have to constantly stay on top of it as a driver, and as a pedestrian/cyclist,

Yup. As a team lead, I fretted that I wasn't giving me one of my new team members enough hands-on time / direction. I'd sort of give him stuff with as much context as I had, meaning to follow up in a few days to see how thing

Who's furious? Seems like the negative views on this 8GB configuration are driving benchmarks like this, which in turn give the buyers the ammo they need to make a purchasing decision. In this case, a couple hundred bucks extra seems t

Good point -- I actually have tested and can only manage a 2.5Gbps link between the 2 devices and two drops I have to test with. I also agree 10Gbps is likely to be good enough for quite some time. Running fiber across the house to my offic

The accuracy argument gives me flashbacks to the days of talk/ntalk/whatever conversations as a teenager, over 2400bps modems, cross country. I distinctly remember realizing I made a typo 3 words ago, while the cursor was several

To be clear, I'm not a programmer, but... Wouldn't you expect LOC shipped to go down as level of impact (eg, size of customer base) goes up? 100 lines on GMail has a lot more impact than 100 lines on a homegrown accounts receivabl

Seems fine? Our house has Cat5e going back to ~2008 (before we owned the house). It supports my 2.5Gbps PoE AP uplinks. We're about to remodel and this has me thinking I should go to Cat8.2. Maybe a thousand bucks in cable? If that? I&
