I wonder how much of that is due to living situation. If you live in a city with lots of traffic and they have to cross dangerous intersections to get to a park, I can see why you'd worry about them. But even then, 11 years old sounds

The neighbour definitely has problems with his wifi as well, so fixing the issue would be beneficial for everyone. Step 1 would be to use APs that are connected with ethernet instead of Mesh-type APs. That would greatly reduce the amount of

I had a similar thought. It's amazing what you can do with machine learning, but this example shows that you can't just throw machine learning at a problem and expect good results. And it shows that, at least for now, machine lear

All the lawn mowers I've seen at least have a safety mechanism where they stop as soon as you let go of the handle. And the dangerous parts are shielded on all sides during normal operation. The peloton in the video has no protection t

My early web dev experience was mostly just figuring out where the hell config and log files for apache, php and mysql were. If the docs told you the default location of the config file, you could be sure that on your distro they are somewh

I'm always curious who is behind a company. How many people work there, how it is funded, where they are based, type of corporation, etc. These things make a big difference. Eg I typically trust a non profit that's been around for

I really don't think OP has the required skills for a dev job. It's not just the writing style, it's also the complete lack of any relevant education or experience. I didn't say anything about their mental capacity, it&#

If someone never stayed more than a year at a job that's a pretty major red flag. Most hires will take a year to get productive (where they produce more value for the company than they cost). I would never hire someone if I expected th

Pretty much all network code has workarounds or default configurations that work around problems with specific clients. I guess this topic is more of a political issue rather than an obvious compatiblity issue, so it's not as clear cut

Dynamic mics are usually directional and less sensitive to background noise. If you talk into them from the right side they'll mostly pick up your voice. A lot of echo will be rejected because it comes from a different direction. Conde

Except this website actually works and sound is default off and you can switch to a more accesible view :) Still, I kinda miss the creativity of the early web.

The problem isn't a "housing shortage". The problem is that interest rates are so low, so everyone who has a bit of money on the side tries to invest in the real estate market. The result is that for every house thats sold, t

by yarcob 6y ago
None of these technologies allow you to exceed the available bandwidth. They just make use of the shared bandwidth more efficient. It's still a shared medium. Where I live, a lot of people have 3G internet because mobile data is pretty

Having a few months to a year of expenses on the side fixes this. When you know that no matter what happens, you have enough savings to pay your recurring costs, you just aren't as vulnerable. You are going to find a job in a year, or

Photopea could just as well be monetized by selling licenses or by non-intrusive unpersonalized ads. When you have a great product making money from it isn't hard. I think that 90% of ad tech is useless shit technology that just exists

Unfortunately their protections do not really apply to their own apps. While 3rd party apps need to show individual dialogs to get access to location data, all their own services (eg. data collection for maps, or the "Find My" net

A lazy programmer writes a bunch of tests, writes just enough code that they pass, then creates a PR and lets someone else find all the corner cases they didn't bother to think about.

When I played around with ESP32 when it just came out, the problem was that the toolchains and software just weren't done yet. There were a lot of features that existed on hardware, but without toolchain support, docs, or sample code i
