this is why I never could get into counterstrike after 1.6 it's not just the visual noise, it's also the inconsistent behavior introduced by those details. Yes everything being flat boxes was boring looking but I knew exactly what

one issue with default on with power is that in the event of a temporary power outage, all of your lights will turn on. Probably better than the alternative for most people but just something to be aware of.

it's not really possible to say if ecc would prevent the issue you're describing.. but that's why imo it is worth having ecc--so you don't have to worry as much about if the weird behavior you see is due to random memory

DoSing the users they are signing up would be my guess. Many sites do not even do a validation step and will immediately add any submitted email to the mailing list. Your email box is then filled with tons of emails and manually unsubscribi

you're making a lot of assumptions in bad faith. why? Maybe they just don't want all of their personal information to be stored in yet another database waiting to be leaked.

They're even better than black text on white backgrounds. They're unstyled and use your browser default styling. granted it's rare anyone configured those so it's almost always black on white.. but for people who do spec

I somewhat agree in that it does feel like more of a problem in YAML than code, and infinitely more of a problem when doing both (template code generating yaml) But I still don't think there's any desirability for whitespace signi

Being able to produce more variations of the same talking points sounds really useful for increasing the scale of distribution - you can much more easily maintain more legitimate looking sock puppet accounts that can appear to more organica

There was also a separate release of counterstrike called condition zero that included a single player campaign and a tweaked version of counterstrike multiplayer. That was not included as part of that bundle.. but if you used the dedicated

For some context on the early days of steam, I remember the Friends network having reliability issues presumably due to scaling as everyone adopted steam. But by reliability issues I don't mean it occasionally failed. It did, but that

I'm a somewhat old coot and do remember those days, but I think the term still makes sense but only in a lan environment. machines still have hostnames, and home routers will often trust your dhcp clients machine name. So I can still l

Not as far as I'm aware, at least not without some really clever attack. The design is such that all you're doing is asking the remote agent to use it's private key to sign things, it never actually exposes the private key.

Thats typically something you can configure in your terminals settings. Though avoiding requiring everyone know how to do this and actually do this is an improvement in developer experience so there's some merit here.. but is there any

What is a sane default for retries? is it to loop indefinitely? should it retry against the same TCP connection or establish a new one? To the same IP it picked the first time or a different one, or reresolve the DNS entirely? against the s

I wonder how long until we can just use LLMs to do that for us - first summarizing a blog post (already something we've seen many examples of LLMs doing) but focusing on extracting factual claims, then using those as context when injes

I don't believe a remote host that has access to your forwarded agent can extract the keys( ). But they can tell the agent to authenticate with any key loaded in your agent, not just the one you used to ssh into the machine you forward

Is the increased resource usage inherent to the model or does it only happen when using the extra context? Like if your workflow currently fits in a 2k model would an 8k model be objectively worse and only worth using once you've fill

The 'fuck ups' can be retroactive through. So you could do something that was totally fine and make multiple videos of said things, then have all of them individually flagged at some point in the future. Nintendo has done this on

Wouldn't that be better solved with health checking and removing the poor performing server from the pool?

I assume it would be the same as when people install solar panels and feed excess power back into the grid. Many power companies do pay people for the excess power and you can in effect be a producer for your electric company and not a con

I hadn't set this back up after getting a new laptop, but it's great for any of the one-off things you might need to do like confirm that some webserver is down like someone on chat complained it was, or lookup an ip or dns entry.

the better argument is just flipping the perspective. if your computer runs a web server this increase the control because without it other computers can connect to it and lie about their identity. that's not to say I think this is a

I've had mild success using Any desk to remote control a phone, but that only works for app issues and not random power or reboot issues. you could slightly help that with a smart power strip to power cycle.. but only if you had a phon
