As the sibling comment mentions, the FSM will be a much better resource for this. It's worth having a Haynes or Chilton, since they're cheap and sometimes have different approaches, but the FSM is really the best source of truth (

You know, this whole idea of applying what you read to your own life, even if it's good literature is really funny. I've been rereading a lot of southern gothic lit, and thinking about applying Wise Blood or Confederacy of Dunces

Is this sarcasm or a joke? I honestly can't tell, but I hope it is.

Honestly, it wouldn't be surprising to see the US government manipulate inflation in such a way that once the debt load becomes unbearable, it just simply inflates away the debt rather than do austerity or a debt jubilee.

It's still remarkable how absurdly impractical and probably poorly conceived every aspect of that truck seems to be.

Unless something has recently changed, the SFF Precisions and Optiplexes used weird smaller PSUs and generally have really poor airflow. Generally the lower end precision mid-tower also flow air terribly and get hot and whiny. There's

Eaton makes much better UPSes at a close price point. I don't know why anyone buys APC or things like Cyberpower anymore.

Supermicro is usually a good bet.

I agree with you entirely. It's hard not to imagine spending as much time with my son as I reasonably can. Even if he's a little challenging sometimes, it's really been one of the most amazing things I've ever been gifte

Have you ever actually been to the Lexington metro? It's not really any of that bullshit you just wrote.

I have one, and I sure wouldn't recommend it beyond being a simple display driver. The real killer on that card in particular is that it, so far as I can tell, does not have any (?) video encoding/decoding acceleration whatsoever,

I really doubt that, but one thing that stands out is the usage of stainless steel body panels, which make repairs both harder and more expensive. Go ask anyone that had to repair a Delorean what they think of stainless for body panels..

I think the trick is to go with a generation or two old Supermicro motherboard in whatever ATX case you can scrounge up, and then use either a low power Xeon or a Pentium/Celeron. Something like the X11SAE-F or X12SCA-F (or maybe even

I think you can have it both ways honestly. A TBI setup with a wasted spark ignition is at least as easy to work on a carburetor, with little or no extra complexity and way less headaches, while removing a lot of the problems older stuff ha

Depends what era of cars we're talking. There's a ton of stuff from the 90s and 2000s like GM trucks, that I strongly suspect will be on the road longer and in greater numbers than stuff 10 years newer. The mid to late 90s and ear

Guyana being part of the Commonwealth of Nations also seems like it may mean that the British could get involved on their side, which could also be a significant factor.

I perceive that part of the reason the west doesn't wade into the conflict in Ukraine (rightly or wrongly) is that there is a fear of the conflict escalating into a brawl between western nations and Russia (which is probably at least a

I wonder if you could work around this by using LD_PRELOAD to load in a shim around get_env and set_env. You'd still have the problem of environ potentially getting mutated, but it very well may solve the problem if it's limited t

Why is that the goal? Who decided that it is an appropriate goal? This whole argument is silly for a lot of reasons, but honestly it's a bait and switch amongst other things: "Oh we'll eventually get to reduced hours, you jus

This is almost certainly why SAFe (as flawed as it is) tends to be popular among orgs with any size at all.

I'm in the same boat. For things that aren't huge scale, it's almost easier to find an extension or otherwise beat Postgres (or SQLite or Percona MySQL) into submission for your use case. Timescale is a really good example...

There's at least a handful of places that you can't escape them, one of the most evident in my mind is when constructing higher order functions or other decorators. Maybe a simple example would be a retry higher order function (or

This is honestly why I carry my GPD MicroPC with me now, as its almost as portable as the phone, and unfathomably easier to do things like draft emails, do text editing and other basics, than my phone is.

GM seemed to have had this right in the late 80s and early 90s with VATS: my Camaro had a resistor integrated into the key, and if the ECM sensed the wrong resistance, it wouldn't start or run the ignition. I think there were a large n
