There's a decent amount that can still be done cleanly. You can count how many impressions were served vs how many clicked through. You can use campaign slugs to measure which sites sent more, or how effective different ads were. Yo

For a fun time, try wearing the airpods underneath ear defenders. I swear I can hear my brain.

I genuinely enjoyed SNMP Mastery, much to my surprise. The Networknomicon edition treats the subject with the perfect measure of contempt.

They could also theoretically do lightning-3 as an alt-channel over usb-c. The regulation is concerned with charging, not data.

The account that first posted a video of Elon being booed on stage at a recent comedy show, was swiftly suspended. It's very difficult to deny this quacks like a duck.

I've seen the other side of this and it's not pretty. We had a round with a very indecisive manager who seemed to be apprehensive that an even better candidate might come along next week. We interviewed 15-20 people over the run

A lot of those alternatives have adopted the pi's form-factor as a loose standard, so there's a reasonable chance this is going to work on many of those alternatives. We're almost starting to reach a point where Pi is being d

It irks me that this is the bulk of what we're taught of phishing training - just to look for the obvious mistakes. We've been seeing a rise in attacks that are launched from compromised accounts, where the email is a reply to a p

That's my theory - "zero covid" had good success, but has resulted in very little herd immunity. And by all reports their homegrown vaccine program hasn't had fantastic results. I think if & when they end "zero

I spent a few years in the US, and this struck me so hard. It's really difficult to even explain. You know how see something like cows being sacred in parts of India, and we can't even get our heads around it? I feel exactly the

I stopped cycling since lockdown. There's been a complete shift in attitudes. Every public space is adversarial. But totally with you on phones. I've always made a habit of making eye contact with people so I know I've bee

It's not so much that we've stopped calling them 4x4 - it's more than the 4WD market has diverged. A 4x4 is designed to get muddy. An SUV is designed to traverse speed bumps & children's bodies with dignity. To my

The start/stop at the bottom makes that look like it's come canned with a CMS and they've just tacked on what they needed to. It's 90% boilerplate.

Honestly, nothing. I just enjoy the symmetry. But really - we like to think there's a sensible definition of what a country is. There isn't. What makes Scotland a country and not Montana? I'm in Ireland, the examples get e

I had the same issue - iirc it's a 486 with some Pentium extensions. It has enough of the 586 set to fool you into thinking it is one, but not enough to fool glibc. So you need to have glibc specifically built for i486 otherwise li

That was my first thought too, but .. I honestly don't think I'd take that bet. I still have an A1200, and I struggle to think of anything that'd be genuinely improved by having, eg 7GHz instead of 7MHz (to take the article&#

The way I prefer to think of it, is the UK is a state comprising of several countries, and the US is a country comprising of several states. I can't promise it's any more accurate, but it amuses me.

It's a horrible name that should never have been used externally, but it makes sense if you're familiar with the NT architecture. There's various environment subsystems for win32, os/2, unix, and now linux. If you look

I love the fuzzy "it doesn't matter, time doesn't matter out there anyway" northern border. That's detail seems crazier to me than the offset.

Ireland technically doesn't mirror the UK's timezone. Irish Standard Time is UTC+1, and we go back an hour for winter. Unlike the UK, which is at UTC+0, and goes forward an hour for the summer. They're functionally identica

I'm not sure the plastic cup is a great example. Plastic cups are easier to recycle than paper cups, since paper cups are plasticised on the inside - resulting in a mixed material that needs to be recycled separately.

I honestly think they're the most interesting thing going on in tech at the moment - they're actually creating tech instead of just using it to schedule taxis. I wish I had an ounce of the talent they're looking for, because

We use u-boot at work, in completely uninteresting places. You don't think about it, it just is. Curl is probably a good equivalence - its pervasiveness is more impressive than its extremes.

€450. It's still $329 in the US, which is €336 here, or €413 after tax. So it's 9% higher than parity - better than it was (at release), but not as close as the 10th gen is. What I tend to see in apple's european pricing is

The european price is actually better than it was last time around, which is surprising. Using Irish numbers (because I'm Irish ..) At announcement (Sept 2021), the 9th gen was $329 US, which was €280 (at the time). Plus +23% VAT give

That's where I'm at - I keep an eye on new releases because I'm a nerd and I like toys. But realistically I'm not going to shell out for them at least until this one stops getting OS updates. I don't work-work on i

To be fair - this specific issue is with Space Exploration, a mod that's specifically for people who decided that Vanilla didn't hurt quite enough.
