I'm honestly a bit surprised about the amount of people that are stocking up on food. What is your motivation for doing so? Is it because you assume essentials will be unavailable because of other people stocking up, or because of even

If you have a server available, have some time and don't mind fiddling with some config files, you could install a Matrix homeserver. Matrix is a relatively new open source message protocol that offers various bridges to connect to oth

1. Filling out what you would like to do on a questionnaire is not the same as actually doing so. 2. You and your friends are probably not like the average person. 3. You were probably raised with the idea that it's very important, bot

Searching for TruffleBEAM+Loom doesn't yield any meaningful results. Could you provide any info about what it is?

Yeah, it would be really nice if the function has no local return errors could be more specific.

I agree with the gist of your comment, but the revival of synths with lots of single purpose knobs and sliders started much earlier than the 2010s. Clavia Nordlead and Roland jp 8000 are two examples of mid-'90 synths. I would say I th

Because just providing config options for text and background wouldn't be enough. Most apps use more colors than just background/foreground, meaning those other colors should be configurable as well. Allowing users to configure al

Using a single cloud provider with a multiple region setup won't protect you from some issues in their networking infrastructure, as the subject of this thread supposedly shows. Although I guess depending on how your own infrastructure

Maybe it's beating a dead horse and the article itself seems fine, but the submission title sounds a bit ridiculous. "Install this software on your server to make it serverless!"

If everyone on this planet can live forever before we have an escape plan, it'll become crowded really fast, so you might want to master that space exploring thingy first.

Sure, the mechanism is the same, but the scale and effectiveness are not. In your scenario, if someone wants to spread rumors about you in bad faith, they have to spend a lot of time and resources to make sure everybody you might interact w

Indexes mostly have an impact on write performance and space used on disk, so if both are not a concern for your use case, creating lots of indexes is fine.

I think FM synthesis is really underappreciated for modeling acoustic sounds. It really shines for mallet instruments, but also brass and woodwind and even plucked sounds like acoustic guitar. By making operators react differently to veloci

That's why I hope snap or flatpack will gain more momentum. While I assume they still are far from perfect at the moment, they seem to me a step in the right direction for desktops and servers.

HD videos take a lot of bandwidth. Spotify's default quality (I guess the highest you can get with the free tier) is only 96kbps. So if you stream that 24 hours a day it takes: (96 / 8) * 3600 * 24 / (1024 * 1024) = 0.99GB

You are correct. At least the do... while statement is a common c macro trick to make sure a macro has its own scope. The idea is that a compiler will optimize the do....while statement away, so it does not have any runtime overhead. The wi
