Yup, it's pretty trivial to setup the VLAN on Unifi gear to completely isolate the IoT VLAN/SSID to internet only and never see local traffic/devices and vice versa.

If you're going to run IoT devices in your house I highly recommend isolating them to their own VLAN+Wifi SSD to limit their exposure to the rest of your network. Personally I'm a fan of Ubiquiti's Unifi gear for this. Rela

Yup, this also happens with euro-spec engines. The new V6 diesel in the Ram 1500s comes from across the pond is pretty darn efficient/clean.

That's because all of those are a perspective projection that flattens a 3 dimensional frustum into a 2 dimensional plane. It's kind of like saying that your eyes can't see things in 3 dimensions because all of the light is f

Also depends a lot on where you choose to live. In the city? Totally understand an on-demand car service. Out in the country/rural area? You're may want a truck that's matched to what you tow/haul/etc. Pretty sure i

One new trick I discovered last time around doing the new dealer quote matching game is to find a set of dealers in a different state. In our case all the dealers for one brand were owned by a single conglomerate(under different names) howe

I would agree if it wasn't for the perspective corrected interpolation that happens in the w/z component for vertex properties[1]. You're not going to get that in a 2D rasterization API without doing a per-pixel calculation o

I think the large difference here is that the VM for WASM is much thinner. Java was not then and still isn't today the fastest of languages. I think WASM's model of being a lower level VM is going to produce fantastic results. Hec

Yup, I think Rami Ismail has pretty good take on it[1]: > I can't believe that the official ArenaNet statement is "the company that just made a public brutal example out of you & your co-worker could've protected you f

Yeah, the whole thing is just levels of stupid. The fact that a fellow writer who got involved was fired as well is just gasoline on the fire. I spent a fair bit of time in that industry and generally the ones running the studios were not t

Yup, it's way too easy to dump RFI that throws off everything. Without fail my 2 meter radio keys up in about 70% of the drivethroughs I go through. Some of them are probably due to overloading the front end, some of them probably aren

When you're working with binary, unmergeable files it's a mandatory requirement. FWIW you could configure P4 to only lock certain file extensions. I also found it useful to find out who was "working" on a file if I had t

For the right use case workspaces are awesome. We used to do code + art in the same 1TB perforce repo back when I did gamedev. Art folder was ~600GB. Having a workspace to eliminate that as a developer was awesome. Git still fails to even a

Don't be so sure, Pex and the like wasn't on the scene 20 years ago.

They certainly set directions and champion initiatives. Also, impose tariffs as we're seeing with the last 24 hours.

I think everyone agrees that "fighting" the borrow checker is annoying, however at the risk of sounding like a Rust apologist I find that a couple interesting things have happened over ~2 years with the language: 1. The borrow che

Yup, we had a microwave that will happily take out Wifi in a 200' radius. Every time I go through a drivethrough there's a 70% probability that my 2-meter radios breaks squelch even though I've only got it tuned to licensed a

> "Erlang is to locks what Java is to pointers" That's a great quote(citation is in the paper), I'll have to remember it for future use.

by vvanders 8y ago
Sure but my point wasn't about the ergonomics of restrict, more that having a wild-west of pointers means that some performance optimizations are now off the table vs languages that are a bit more constrained in how they approach data

> but the advantage of letting the programmer fully control every knob in the chain is immense. That's actually not completely true. Take the restrict keyword for instance. Super painful to use in C/C++ and very dangerous. In R

by vvanders 8y ago
When it takes me a week to track down what optimization caused that's when I take issue with it. Having had to chase down stray aliased pointers in something marked restrict I can tell you it's not trivial to root-cause.

Yeah, I've heard from ham types that it's really common to see near 7-figure buy-outs for prime tower land (50' x 50' + access) before even talking about costs of putting up 100'+ tower, power and hardware.

Yup, just because it's an unlicensed band doesn't mean there aren't other restrictions on it.
986.
by vvanders 8y ago
If you've got a license for the bands, sure. I can blast IQ on 14.025Mhz if I feel like it assuming I stay within baud limits. Pretty cheap and easy to get a ham license these days. Cell phones have multiple radio chips, I don't s

Pretty sure OP was talking about using the 2.4Ghz/5Ghz unlicensed spectrum. Obviously allowing user transmissions on licensed bands is a bad idea.

by vvanders 8y ago
> LTE has been modified by a few companies so that it can operate in the same unlicensed spectrum that Wi-Fi uses (called LTE-U) It looks like to me that the problem is they decided to use the same bands of wifi. If you're going to

Yup, quickest way to eat into your bank account is to "save" money buying a 20k hour+ old excavator.

There's a series on transistors that covers this. There's basically no mechanical process since everything is done via etching and litho. Leads to the results you see.
