SwedeSpeed has this. It is a forum, posts have threads. It isn’t always nice because the threading/three view also breaks the sense of time and makes it harder to see new posts. I actually prefer a linear view with posts that quote wha

They don’t care about the technology itself but they presumably care about getting indexed!

I find it amazing that we have a piece of equipment still going strong on a remote hostile place for 14 years. It is still finding new information. And at the same time over here we move fast and break things, we have regime changes. People

I signed up but there appears to be a waiting list. Is this real or just a way to figure out market fit?

Of course. On the other hand, is it fair to call it a single point of failure if it being down only affects a shard? Maybe within the shard indeed. Or for a single customer indeed. Not sure if we have terminology to indicate one or the othe

The shard was already a way to make it not a single point of failure.

Halide asks for a subscription. Not entirely sure why yet. Yes, it is more advanced than the normal app. Also slower and I haven’t noticed any changes or improvements in the last two years. Maybe support for new features in newer iPhones.

It appears that it is turning into a problem in Italy for another reason. In mountainous regions the streams would be maintained by the people owning the land. With people leaving the area the waterways are left unmaintained leaving debris

Except when you start eating real food made fresh from quality ingredients. Or sauces being cooked for proper times. There is so incredibly much more flavour to all of that food. It is seriously rewarding both from a nutritional point of

AFAICT, the Continental US does not have a fully connected grid. This allows electricity providers to charge wildly different rates depending on the state/region. It also requires each net to individually ensure capacity and uptime. Ha

I know this is anecdotal from what I read here and the few engineers I’ve spoken personally. Having a good job is the only way to get good/decent health care. Even then, there are many surprises in terms of what you have to pay yoursel

IMHO, Brexit was mostly an exercise in placing the blame in a single “entity” instead of circumstances. Fishing gets harder due to over fishing. Technical advantages and industries moving have made certain classes of work such as mining and

It is inefficient in the grand scheme of things yes. But it is very efficient on the level of the individual home owner, especially if they do not own the building so cannot install solar. It is a good way to cheaply reduce the cost of elec

It could be part of the Accept header which already indicates language. It could serve as a signal that you only want to see content that is appropriate for that age bracket. Where appropriate means what the site wants to serve according to

I’m currently on a AMD 5900X with 9070 XT. Previously a 6700XT, didn’t make a difference in desktop only in games. Using KDE with Wayland. Recently I switched to the bore-lto flavour kernel as it seems to handle memory contention slightly b

I’m running CachyOS (based on arch) and it is blazing fast. Both with Firefox and Vivaldi. Especially compared to the windows install I used to have on the same machine. Or is your point only about windows?

Distribution is already mostly in place. The existing channels have run dry so they can be filled with the new supply. Building things happens a bit quicker in PRC compared to the US. If they see it as a way to undercut the US/Taiwan h

Maybe not a traditional disruptive startup but isn’t CXMT from China stepping in to build all those fabs? Previously investing in that space didn’t make a lot of sense. Now that there are a lot of consumers willing to buy something they can

Maybe it is enough to include some css/js which is served without cache and is loaded after all user visible css/js is loaded. Make it small enough to not cause too much bandwidth for the server and legitimate clients. Then anyone

Is there some existing mechanism already that counts how often an ip only scrapes the page and not the css and then block those origin IPs if it occurs “too often”? Unfortunately, the best practice is to make css cacheable so you need to ke

I think it becomes easier if you have some oracle, like a compiler, available to check whether the end result (after introducing suggestions) is viable. I say it like this because to me the only valid way to come to the latter class of erro

Doaitse Swierstra’s parser combinators have included this for a while. I seem to recall them also having optional support for self-healing such as adding missing commas, parentheses, etc. I’m sure other parser combinators have this as well

The whole point is that sometimes I or the build system performs an action that it cannot reverse. This happens in between commits as I’m not in the habit of committing after every few keystrokes.

That would still be in git. The local history in IntelliJ works independently of any VCS. Also I’ve had formatters botch files including changes I hadn’t committed yet. For that the local edit history is also useful.

by spockz 2mo ago
This local history has saved my bacon on occasion. E.g. when I went too long without committing and something silly overwrote the file I was working on. Or because I did something silly with git. Then it is nice that there is still an indep

I do wonder if there are some experts that are more likely to be hit. So if the normal optimised setup runs in 12GiB an you have 4GiB extra to spare, you could say “promote the most used X experts to this stable (old gen in GC parlance) reg

This is elegantly solved with sum types. (And arguably needs sub typing.) If instead of just returning (int, error) the function would return (int, parseError | outOfBoundsError) you would know that the parser function can fail on reading a

Is “a conservative limit” a high limit or a low limit? If it is high such that many responses will still be drained it would keep reading those infinite streams for a long time. If it is low it might still not drain all normal sized message

Completely agree and I personally name generic type parameters as I would name types and parameters. It helps a lot.

I thought the sentry data was collected and the data collected when driving on roads etc was collected for training purposes. Would that be 2.6gib worth of data? If it includes video from all the sensors and cameras I think 2.6GiB is still
