From the CalISO graphs, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of solar power for most of the day. It doesn't seem reasonable to incentivise production in the same way as it was when that wasn't the case. I think NEM 3.0 incenti

IMHO, I think it's good to have some exposure to low-level stuff. There's a good amount of work you can't do without understanding the low-level stuff, but there's more work you can't do well without having at least

The BEAM JIT is all done when .beam files are loaded. It's a runtime JIT, because you can always load new code, but it's not a tracing JIT and it's designed to be pretty fast to do it while loading. For most applications of B

I guess yeah. I never heard about it again, after the PD picked up the bike. Maybe there's a stolen vehicle registry to check now... If it wasn't stolen recently, anyway.

Checking with the title registration agency (California DMV) would have seemed to help, but it didn't. Not sure engaging a 3rd party service would help either. Carfax on an old enough car seems pretty silly too, I dunno.

My brother bought a stolen motorcycle once. He checked with California DMV before purchasing it, and IIRC, the DMV issued him a title. Several months later, the local PD came over, asked him a lot of questions, took the motorcycle and let h

Outreach, I'd guess? You've got to do outreach where the people are. X and Instagram have pretty different audiences, but they're both large, so if you're on one you probably should be on both.

I'll allow your joke, but NTSC is 60 fields per second, and PAL is 50. Certainly a large portion of content came from film and in PALworld would be shown as even and odd halves of a frame, or in NTSCland as 3 halves of a frame, then tw

I've seen things where you have multiple video cards and can use one gpu to render to a framebuffer which is transferred to the other video card to output. I'm sure it adds latency, and it's probably unsupported... But no out

If every level is a root, then the word root means nothing. I guess you could say that the root servers point to the tld root servers that point to your domain's root servers. But then root server just means dns server. I never menti

I'm pretty sure you're confused. If you query your domain at the root servers, they will refer you to the tld servers, run by your registry. Then when you query your domain at the tld servers, they return your selected nameservers

by toast0 5mo ago
Afaik, those glue records are held at your TLD's registry and served by the tld nameservers, not the root servers. It might be nice to get a zone transfer for every tld, but that's not possible for the public. (I understand there&
