I've been reading much of this over the past day or so since I made the comment. I don't want to sound overly negative, but the author seems to think repetition of the phrase "moldable development" will imbue it with me

T-Mobile offers 'Data with Paired Digits' lines; $10/mo for 600kbps max data and $20/mo for high-speed data. The second sim receives calls and most texts same as the first. The possible dealbreaker is short-code SMS ne

"Inherently meaningless" is fine for a name. Anyway this one has an externally-applied meaning in the form of an actual specification, which defines OTG explicitly: On-The-Go: An OTG product is a portable device that uses a

Having looked at the screenshots and read the text, I still have no idea what Glamorous Toolkit v1.0 is. If I had to guess, I'd say it's another attempt at 'notebook' style computing interfaces, but I suppose there&#x27

There's no evidence for any of it, because they're coy about the FICO rules, but if it's bullshit, it's bullshit straight from the horse's mouth [1]. I know that previously in my own credit reports I was given this

No, that's what I'm saying here: having too low a debt to credit-limit ratio (i.e. high-limit cards with no debt on them, termed 'credit utilization') can hurt your FICO score. From what I can tell, a credit utiliz

ACPI is only the "least bad way" because vendors don't release sufficient information to do anything else. Microsoft and Intel just specify progressively more convoluted nonsense, require OEMs to pass spec or they can't

The FICO credit score is in essence a metric measuring how good you are at staying in debt, sustainably, preferably for life. Something like paying off a sizeable credit card debt can hurt your FICO score, because now your debt:credit rati

Name one limitation imposed by this EO or this agency. The word 'limit' doesn't even appear in the article. The limitations recommended in the EO mostly focus around government use of the technology. As for reporting minimu

Citing the origin of "move fast and break things" as the exemplar of safety is itself pretty bold.

I think it's an earnest attempt by someone who doesn't understand "Comp Sci" in 2023. The pointless inclusion of noise like "But I can't be racist, I'm black" makes me wonder what exactly this person

Famously the devices have been difficult to acquire because RPi was putting all their manufacturing output into fulfilling commercial market needs (1,2,3). Filling a market need -- well-specced hardware with long support horizons -- is per

When Hewlett-Packard released a similar product (rack-integrated compute), it was hard to tell if the backplane bandwidth killed it or the terrible Java management software killed it. It looks like this has a better design for each. There

"Hardware transport" is kind of a misnomer, because this is a networking protocol. It just happens to be a networking protocol that requires hardware acceleration on the NIC. We already had that in things like Infiniband and Omn

Have you seen a room wired with a second lightswitch specifically for the bedside? I'd be interested to know if anyone's done this.

There are unionized REI stores, it's just not universal across the chain.

This was solved in the 90s. The actual lightswitch can be mounted in a wireless remote that sockets into the switch plate by the door. You just take the switch with you to the bedside table. In the morning when you leave the room you soc

The article mentions one school -- Caltech -- that is not requiring ACT scores right now. Where are you getting a moratorium on admissions out of that? They're still admitting students.

The minimum ASVAB to enlist is 31, and there are waiver programs for that. This is not a good showing. I feel like people don't appreciate how little lower-enlisted people are paid, what terrible financial literacy abounds in the ran
