   Yeah but then you're left with a hard plastic surface. Have you ever successfully re-coated?

   Before people claim it doesn't matter due to OS write buffering, I should point out a) today's bloated software and the many-layered, abstracted I/O stack it's built on tends to issue lots of unnecessary flushes, b) read

   My understanding is Optane is still unbeaten when it comes to latency. Has anyone examined its use as an OS volume, compared to today's leading SSD's? I know the throughput won't be as high, but in my experience that's

   Is there any way to preserve those synthetic materials and gain a longer shelf life (eg. 15+ years)? Eg. Heat sealed foil bags with excess air removed, or even filled with nitrogen? The idea is to buy several spare consumables when you fi

   Is anyone concerned how dependant the industry as it's described here is becoming on one, two or three service providers who take prompts and spit out tokens? And the amount of your proprietary infrastructure you're exposing to t

   I'm so glad I grew up in an age before all this bullshit, when I could do all the same things on a computer an adult could (and frankly, more). I never would have developed the knowledge and skills that led to my career in such a stif

   Loot boxes are an in-game feature allowing players to buy random mystery items with real or virtual currency That's not how I use the term. I think of a loot box as a treasure chest or similar that you discover while exploring which

    Avoid suspiciously low-priced bargains, give it a good several days of solid memtesting (I used to use Memtest86 and Memtest86+, and Prime95 for good measure) and you should be fine.

    This feel diluted compared to what it could have been. Would be better if you had a bunch of instructions and could drag them into sequence at each screen.

    I'm genuinely curious whether there are a substantial number of people out there who deal on a regular basis with dV's on such a minute scale. Who would that be, outside an asteriod-redirect program such as this? Satellite opera

    If you don't want feature updates, go Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It's a comparative breath of fresh air and what Windows should have been all along. No ads, no new unwanted bloat shoved down your throat, no mandatory TPM, a

    This is awesome, thanks. My understanding is Optane is still unbeaten today when it comes to latency. Has anyone examined its use as a workstation OS volume compared to leading SSD's?

    I feel in general the industry was more conservative making these kind of estimates than it is today. I assume they also benefited from years of CD-RW field experience honing the tech.

    The space agency said there is a one in 4,200 chance of being harmed by a piece of the probe, which it characterised as "low" risk. Can someone help me interpret the statistics here? I assume that's a 1 in 4200 chance of a

    What about making them put up a hefty bond proportional to the sensitivity and scale of the data collected, which is forfeit to any potentially affected users in the event of a breach.

    Monitoring is a joke. We need legislation with real teeth. Companies which don't protect the user data they've been entrusted with should go bankrupt, to make way for those who actually care.

    I had been programming for a long time before I learned OOP. After some years playing with it, I came to the conclusion there's not much I can't do about as well using simple functions and structs. The key is a well thought out

    Once upon a time we paid for features, instead of paying to remove inbuilt annoyances. (In a sense, this is getting too close to paying a bully to stop harassing you).

    Thanks for correcting me. Are there any good, small "Hello World" examples of RISC-V programming with the C3 you can point me to? I'd love to get a sense of how it compares in practice.

    If it helps, I've used earlier Atmel AVR chips, as well as the ESP32-S3. 8-bit AVR is an extremely clean, relatively simple instruction set that can be viably hand-coded. It's fairly straightforward to calculate the exact number

    That's great, but I abhor UUID's. I see them crop up everywhere. IMO, they are decidedly human-unfriendly - particularly to programmers and database admins trying to debug issues. Too many digits to deal with, and they suck up t

    I also feel like it's just a matter of time until someone cracks the nut of making agents better understand GUI's and more adept at using them. Is there progress happening in that trajectory?
