Considering the trend is apparent in data from the 1970's through 2011 (during which time there were zero covid vaccines administered), it is unlikely covid vaccines are relevant. Even if covid vaccines did have an impact on fertility

For work, HP Zbook 15 with Windows 10. It's a decent laptop. It's bulky and I don't care for the keyboard, but it performs well and I usually have it in a docking station. At home, Thinkpad x250 running Linux Mint. At one poi

The router is one of the first things I put on a UPS. The telco equipment likely has fallback power as well. Sure, you could find some device that isn't on a battery backup and ping it regularly. But this approach forces the device on

On a trivial level I agree, but only on a trivial level. Most developers will not set up a server in the most secure, maintainable manner. They're going to miss important things: - Disable password-based auth for ssh (require key-based

The integrated keyboard had a tab key, so autocomplete worked on the terminal. This was a really big deal that made the tiny keyboard much more useful for real work. The Maemo distribution that the N900 ran was based on debian, and you coul

A fair price for an electrical resistor is roughly $0.02 - $0.08, depending on what you are ordering. Buying it from McMaster will probably cost you $0.12 - $0.50. Not every component is this trivially inexpensive, but we are working in a p

I like Kotlin. However, these decisions aren't always simple - and are based on more than the technical merits of the language. Some years ago, my division at <large company> decreed Scala was the way of the future. All new devel

This is a very good challenge for Bob. It is very much a "practice teaching and see how it goes" thing. It may not be something Bob is good at, though it may be something he can improve. Part of the value of a technical career pat

The new Ranger is much larger than the one you remember from the 90's. However, Ford also introduced the Maverick - a compact pickup that is more similar to the old Ranger. I'm tempted by the hybrid version. As someone who has bee

I agree - though I also agree with the author that this is an area where REST specifications are a little clunky. Yes, `api/v1/employees/100` should return a 404, because that path represents the location of a specific entity

I doubt they have too much COBOL lock-in, since the article notes their datacenter opened in 2008. Here's the thing: A mainframe may have spare capacity, but you still have to call IBM to unlock it. In order to make a Z run in a cost-e

I was going to agree "more than you think", but in tech years I'm also old. Maybe people have seen CRT tv's in parents' or grandparents' houses. As someone who has used multiple CRT's and both 5.25" a

Ehhh, some blackouts are demand driven, and climate change is increasing our HVAC demand. You certainly have a point, but I think climate is still a factor.

I'd argue that a person is their decisions. That encompasses actions - we generally decide whether and how to act. This also rings true when you add "bad thoughts" alongside "bad ideas". Everyone has bad thoughts in

Agreed. In this case, the vendor doesn't ship a working kernel at all. Their view is that the community will handle that. Massive props to ayufan, without whom most of the Pine SBC's would likely have no bootable image. I experime

The problem may be that his advice is a defeatist "never do this". In the referenced article about exit interviews, the advice centers entirely around not providing feedback. Be as bland as possible. The workplace is presented in

I've had disappointing experiences with kernel support for Rockchip systems. Hopefully things have improved since I last experimented (it's been about 3 years), but I really struggled to get stable drivers running for RK3399 and R

There's a difference between bad cars and hilariously bad cars. The OG Chrysler minivan was historically significant. I respect people who still use them as work vehicles, or people who embrace the hacker mentality to turn them into so

If described correctly, it is a different concept. Variable cam timing in the context of VANOS / Vtec / VVT refers to variable timing on the camshaft that controls valves. This sounds different, and I think it refers to mechanical

Tesla ranks behind Lexus, Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln, and many other luxury cars in the same reliability studies. Even if most things are minor, they still have significantly more problems than the established automakers. I wonder whethe

Since this is anonymous ... you know what, I have a million dollars. I'm going to keep some invested for the future, but it's far past time to give more of it away. I'm going to follow my own advice. Thank you for the hypothe

If the goal is generally to invest, then be boring. Split it among several ETF's. If the goal is to support a project which will improve the world, I'd support existing projects to either make clean water more accessible or help t

We consume open source libraries at work and sometimes we discover a bug or a small missing feature. When it makes sense to make a change in the library (i.e., the problem is not our misuse of the library), I'll get permission to contr
