There’s a moment in the movie R.M.N. where a young Frenchman is in town to “count the bears”. During a town hall, he tries to explain that he’s there to help identify how many bears there are and help protect them. One local throws a jab ba

Yes, the follow-up post (hidden by default) reads: > Don’t panic, folks. This is very good work, especially given the low memory complexity of this attack. But there are 33 steps left. Your bitcoins are safe.

There was an interesting couple of episodes from the podcast Search Engine, asking the question “Why do dealers put fentanyl in everything?” [1] & [2] The grim conclusion was that dead clients are a calling card for dealers. People addi

Except it doesn’t. Just like dead junkies doesn’t deter people from doing drugs. Education and social mobility are much stronger crime reduction tools than prison.

Not the socket’s fault; it’s the charger. My MBP 90W charger doesn’t have a grounding pin. The 60W doesn’t have a grounding pin. They have the hardware to be grounded (the metal T stub on which you attach the local plug), but they don’t com

I write CloudFormation for a living. I had been quick to disregard CDK, and sort of ignored it for a while. I tried it on a recent greenfield project, and now I’m kicking myself for not giving it a try in earnest earlier.

Like many things in the art world, there’s a whole lot of hot air being moved about in this story. Like you, I don’t follow the logical leap that would force Pest Control to reveal Banksy’s real name just because they’re not authenticating

I seem to remember that a long time ago, a single 2.5Gbit fibre was split across 32-64-128 households. The GPON’s job was thus to only decrypt the traffic meant for your connection. It may be wrong information, or it may be completed outdat

I found that odd in the article as well. I wonder if there are any drinks other than water of which you could drink two litres a day without any ill-effects to your health.

Source? I’m working in EU and the vast majority of my friends and colleagues are remote first, with maybe 1-2 days in the office/week, mostly for socialising.

Might I suggest phrasing it exactly like that then? “I resigned all 12 positions I held at Apache because X” is a lot clearer to me.

Just flew from Copenhagen to Venice this week with Ryanair. Adding a carryon bag would have doubled the price of the flight. We just flew with our gym bags instead (which for some reason is not considered carryon?), which are small and squi

Does a 1m increase of the sea level on the American side equate to a a 1m drop on the European side? Maybe we’ll finally get our land bridge to the UK back :). Joking aside, a 1m drop around Denmark or the Netherlands would have significant

My bad, I didn’t know beta versions were in play here. I’m on the latest stable version of iOS, 17.3.

Not sure what you mean with “national clearance network”. With regards to CC fees, there have been none for (DanKort) cardholders since 2005. I haven’t had a non-DanKort rejected since 2016 or 2017, and the only times that I pay for card fe

10-15 years is also an insanely large amount of time when it comes to digitalisation. 15 years ago IE6 received its final stable release, but it would still go on to be supported for another 8 years. That’s also the same year Chrome was rel

This is on the milder end of the spectrum when it comes to Torvalds’ flames. And I’d argue it’s not entirely undeserved.

5G marketing always made me smile. “It will allow doctors to operate on a patient on the other side of the planet”. How? “It will enable next gen VR content”. How? If WiFi + fibre can’t do that, how on earth is 5G supposed to do that? Even

Presumably because you don't want to keep a full directory of WALs up to infinity. This uses WAL_size*2 on the disk and keeps it from growing beyond that.

I’ve designed a few boards with ESP32s on them. Sometimes as a secondary system to provide wifi/ble, sometimes as the main microcontroller. One example was a commercial display using these P4 panels to display an 8-bit themed animation

It’s my understanding that the plastification of paper to make it waterproof is worse, ecologically speaking, than just using straight up plastic. How do we wrap all the dairy, meat, and whatnot at the grocery store? How was it done 100 yea

CAP is a property of any distributed system. You have to tolerate P (considering it’s distributed), so you can only be CP or AP. CP means you can’t be available, meaning your system will stop replying to queries. AP means you’re always avai
