Yes, we won't. It turns out that we're way too terrible at being rational way too much of the time. For DST in particular: Even discussions where the participants manage to form something resembling a quorum to stop changing the

I use a Thinkpad T530 for reasons that are very important to me. It is the only laptop that I have, so it is what I use for every manner of portable computing. It still does all the things I want it to do, including using modern websites w

That's certainly a risk for a subset of people with limited incomes. Meanwhile: Diets have been discontinued by people of all income levels for as long as we've had diets to discontinue. Some people succeed with their diets, and

Is the drug at risk of being discontinued? If so, then can that risk be quantified in any way? (For comparison: Countless scores of diets are discontinued daily.)

I subscribe to Spotify. I've got a whole galaxy of music available to me just about anywhere I go. It's very convenient and I use it all the time. But there's music that Spotify doesn't work with. Music that I'd

I speak only for myself, but: I can't think of any other computer game that I've spent time on, and that I look forward to playing again, over such a long span of time. While I don't play it often , I have been playing it f

That's one way to put it. Another way is that my great grandchildren won't care about inheriting my collection of hobbyist SBCs, and therefore nor should I.

We had a PC that came properly-licensed with that edition of Windows (with the matching sticker and everything), and it didn't work out as a desktop machine for the intended user. It's been a year or two and some details are lost

I guess it depends on the person. 200 miles more than covers all of the driving I do on any normal day. Today is an exceptional day, and I'll be driving a total of 120 miles for work. The Slate would cover that just fine with a ton o

The US is a big place, and states are free to set their own rules, and those rules do vary. I live in Ohio (USA), where a landlord isn't required to provide air conditioning. Some other parts of the US do require it. It's hard t

They don't always overlap well -- certainly, not exactly . Thermal lag is a thing, and it is promoted by increases in both insulation and mass. As an example of thermal lag: My present home doesn't have aircon upstairs. I&#x27

The house being cooled by aircon is within the same world as everything else is. This doesn't mean that there's zero heat added locally (as many seem fond of suggesting): The compressors and circulation blowers and fans don'

It tracks. Let's put it into perspective: By 2006 when the PS3 came 'round, the NES was definitely retro. It wasn't a livingroom staple anymore, and examples that survived were well-loved (either in the wear-and-tear way, i

Yes, I really do think that. Suppose you have a warehouse full of widgets. You bought them them for $450 each, and sell them for $500. You're really happy with this profit, and you can just keep selling them at $500...forever, right?

That sounds nice. Over here in reality, when a man with a badge and a gun pulls people over for a bit of fun: Refusing to play along with whatever game it is that they have in mind is a criminal offense.

In this case, it's not the modification that is potentially illegal, but instead the noise that it can make. A big-honking stereo system isn't illegal to have at home or in a car in any jurisdiction I'm aware of, but there ca

Yep. They be wrong. Many of the myths about ZFS seem to originate from the TrueNAS forums, and the working assumption is that they're motivated to be this way because they're a bunch of gatekeeping losers. More RAM is better --

by ssl-3 4mo ago
Some years ago, there were mud-slinging myths being thrown around about ZFS. Things like "ZFS needs 1GB of RAM per 1TB of storage" and "it requires that RAM to be ECC" were once common to find online. These sort of thing
