A lot of gamedev networking is like this too. Half making sure your game model works in a latent environment/can be extrapolated. The other half is clever tricks(particle systems! sound effects!) to make the player think something is h

Yup, as DDR clock speed increased so have CAS timings.

Conversely cache misses are painful and largely haven't gotten faster over the years.

They may not explode but contacting a 400V bus that can dump ~1200 amps produces a similar effect on the human body.

Well first off I'd probably never run a 15k interval. Pretty sure that's beyond mfgr spec. We run 7k in our diesel on full synthetic. Stretching a maintenance interval seems pennywise and pound foolish. You also have to consider h

I'm at 85k miles and still going strong so I'm not worried.

Yup, I was spending $400/mo on gas which is now close to $50/mo before you figure in oil change costs. Quite a few cars/trucks run synthetic these days which can really start adding up.

Yeah, but there are some limitations with Rust's generics around numeric types. You can't declare generics with arrays of a fixed size(which is really common in performance sensitive code) so there are trade-offs. I understand tha

How new is the heat-pump? We put one in our house this year and been in the 20-40F range for the last 2 months. So far we haven't seen resistive heating kick in more than when it's above 40F.

Or take the best of both worlds with VIM IntelliJ plugin :D.

Yeah, kudos on you for thinking this through. I really like Private VLANs over vanilla separate LANs(Physical or via VLAN) because it prevents each client from talking to each other even when they're on the same LAN. From the IoT devic

by vvanders 8y ago
Yeah, I'm seeing more and more people pick up products like UniFi, and putting IoT stuff over on a Private VLAN so that they only get to talk to the gateway and not be able to pivot to anywhere else on the network.

I mean if you want to move the goalposts(we were just talking about deep focus work) or claim that my career isn't legit be my guest.

Literally every job I've had in the last 10 years I've self-structured into 4 hours of deep work, 4 hours of everything else(meetings, randomization, etc). Started by getting into the office much earlier(7-8am) when normal office

I'm sure if you lived in SW Washington with an infant you'd sing a different tune. More than a few friends and people I know are immunocompromised, for them it is a big deal.

If you work in code, sure. If you're on the Art side you have the movie/animation space(even more of a meatgrider). If you're on the design side, the options are pretty slim. If you're on QA, it isn't the straightes

Eh, I would disagree based on what you see within the various entertainment unions/guilds in movies and TV. I think there's a path there. I know back when I was in the industry I would have killed for a organization like what was

Yeah, and as much as I love Firefox, the android implementation just isn't up to the level to where I can use it as a daily driver. I've got nothing against browser blockers, I just prefer something that works in a unified way as

On the flip side I've got 4 different devices across 3 operating systems, but putting it at the DNS layer it just works. FWIW I've been running pihole for almost a year, aside from the issue with Burrow and some social media redir

by vvanders 8y ago
The only site I've seen break was Burrow ironically enough, couldn't get through the checkout flow which is pretty darn stupid for a purchased product. Our solution is simple, we've got two SSIDs, one w/ PH, one without.

Yup, and there's an actual business cost to that burnout. Turnover can be brutal and if you push your key people too hard they'll leave and/or start making more mistakes. You're also limiting your perspective to the subs

Yeah, or value types. Still waiting on those...

by vvanders 8y ago
Yeah, the whole point of Kaizen and a lot of process improvement is to involve all levels of the production line to make decisions and suggest adjustments.

Well they take a bit more setup but honestly if you've bought your own router before it shouldn't be unfamiliar. I personally found the interface a step up from Asus/Netgear/etc.

by vvanders 8y ago
If you haven't made a hardware decision I'd also take a hard look at Ubiquiti's Unifi line. They take a little more setup but offer a lot more functionality and future expansion.

Yup, that or my personal favorite Subspace where you had a couple hundred players on 56k and everything was pretty snappy.

The saying goes: "Teach a man to use a game engine and he'll ship a game, teach a man to build a game engine and he'll never ship anything". That said they sure are fun to build.

Isn't that a function of voltage and not modulation? There might be a cost argument, I'm not sure if solid state step-down DC-DC converters are cheaper than good old cheap transformers.
