SSD controllers and VFSs are often optimized for sequential access (e.g. readahead cache) which leads to software being written to do sequential access for speed which leads to optimization for that access pattern, and so on.

It's clear humans have several networks working together. Some Mathematicians report they 'see' the solution, these rely on a visual network *. Others report they prefer to do math symbolically (relying on the language networ

Every bulk transactional email provider I could find* allows SMTP relay even in the basic/free plans. That feature seems to come for free everywhere. * e.g. SendGrid, Postmark, mailjet, mailgun, mailerroo, etc.

These are email marketing platforms, not bulk transaction email platforms, and I don't see why they can't do with the latter. At a bulk transaction platform, such a tiny amount would cost at most $20-$50/mo. If you're wi

OpenBSD FFS is robust in the sense of 'it is unlikely an FFS bug will lose your data'. But it is ancient, and, well, there are reasons for filesystem developments in the last half century, like 'not losing your data thanks to

Careful on what you wish for. The same regulatory action can be (is) being used for Chat Control (that dropped off the main page for some reason). Ultimately neither power center acts for the general interest.

This assumes the direct mode of exploitation. The indirect mode (where an attacker inserts a vulnerability) does not necessarily have the 'short time span' issue. So not a complete solution by any means. Also, there should a way t

Sounds like an idea that would really benefit from a JIT-like approach to basically every software.

By that logic, wouldn't the electric kettle heating water for the coffee be intelligent? Had it not measured heat when activated, it wouldn't know how to stop and the man would have thrown it away or at least stopped paying for th

If "newer = better" was my thinking, I'd be all for these new protocols on top of JMAP. But I actually think they're useful only in a limited context. JMAP is better than IMAP because IMAP is a too stateful design, the I

I can understand why JMAP instead of IMAP given the latter's antiquated design. I don't see the advantage to clients in replacing WebDAV though, and the others are a bit iffy too. They'll need to make a way better sales pitch

I like KDE (definitely better than Gnome), but their Wayland migration in KDE6 removed features that could still be implemented. e.g. I get why they don't want custom lockscreen programs now, but running custom scripts on lock/unl

Really bad GPT answer on so many levels. e.g. Tunisia is much worse now; Bangladesh succeeded in toppling the old regime (we'll see about the new gov). Myanmar became a full fledged war that they might actually win (IMHO, the junta wou

Grok is a lickspittle, don't ask it about facts. But the clever thing is that Grok can do meta queries for you ('give me the last 30 users from X who posted about Y using the word...').

It's an evolution of the mechanics: Original X-Coms: very simulationist. Reboot: Adds class mechanic thus reducing simulationism. (In both cases lategame is rather easy). Chimera: Small set piece, probably inspired by the Mario game. A

You're not crazy, and they should fix it. But remember the web existed before CSP was ubiquitous and plenty of sites still don't use it (even though they should). It's a very important defense but not the only one. You'v

HN isn't the place to complain about another site's moderation or worse, subreddit moderation. If HN lets people complain about subreddits, we'll never see the end of it.

It must be very wasteful in water - nearly all low-salinity water is easy to recycle, but here is wasted for a tiny powerplant.
