I have a disability which makes hand-washing cookware impractical, regardless of how "easy" it is for a "normal" person.

Wood is not dishwasher safe, metal will damage the cookware's non-stick coating, which may be worse than the plastic I'm trying to avoid. I guess that leaves silicone.

We have a read-heavy zpool with some data that's used as part of our build process, on which we see a roughly 8x savings with dedup - and because of this ZFS dedup makes it economically viable for us to store the pool on NVMe rather th

One course I took actually provided students with the output of the plagiarism detector. It was great at correctly identifying where I had directly quoted (and attributed) a source. It would also identify random 5-6 word phrases and attribu

What type of scenarios come up in RT/audio code where an alternative path is available if you can't get a lock? In most of the concurrent code I've written the options available if I can't get a lock is some subset of tr

And that is a perfectly valid performance reason for adding an nginx layer in front. It does not IMO justify it in the general case however.

Jetty implements both TLS and compression, though in environments where I don't already have automated certificate issuance infrastructure in place I have occasionally deployed caddy as a reverse proxy just for the TLS termination.

> No reverse proxies required! This is one that has always baffled me. If there's no specific reason that a reverse proxy is helpful, I will often hang an app with an embedded Jetty out on the internet without one. This has never l

Every non-trivial Java project I've worked on ends up depending on Google's Guava and some combination of Apache Commons libraries.

Even after a private repo is made public, it's common practice for new functionality to be worked on in private until it's ready.

The crates that I have looked at work by installing their own minimal signal handler which then puts a message into a channel, or otherwise delivers the message that the signal was fired to your code in a safe way. Of course, you are still

There are several crates available which implement the dangerous parts of signal handling safely for you.

The way git works means that you can check that you have an un-doctored clone of a repo just by checking that the commit hash matches. Which in this instance is quite unfortunate, because it would be very funny. (barring a SHA-1 collision,

Of course - I was being facetious. But I disagree with your assessment of how realistic it is. We already have it on a small scale today in the form of some projects using their own gitlab/gitea instances. If Github were to enshitify I

Yeah, I guess building a distributed version control system is basically an intractable problem.

Ethically Microsoft has about as much claim to be able to use the data for co-pilot as anyone else. On the other hand, maybe a MSFT v Amazon lawsuit over this could be the wake up call the world needs that maybe we should stop centralising

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I think it's unlikely to matter for the adoption of Windows on ARM in the long run.

If I were thinking about trying this, I wouldn't bother trying to appeal to top creators, especially not at first. No matter how much VC you throw at the problem, you'll burn through all of it before you even begin to make a dent.

It's not really a matter of accepting it or not - my eyesight is poor enough that I couldn't get a license if I tried. I was also lucky enough to grow up in a place that provided generous benefits to people who couldn't see w

This obviously varies a lot by jurisdiction, but non-profits typically have much stricter transparency requirements than for-profit entities.

Oh my god. As someone who can't see well enough to get a license, but somehow can see bollards just fine as a passenger: If you can't see them, you shouldn't be fucking driving.

1080Ti vs 4060Ti. Factoring in nvidia's price creep and a worse exchange rate, the 4060Ti costs today roughly what I paid for my 1080Ti 7 years ago. I'm comparing perf by looking at sites likes userbenchmark and reading/watch
