I believe the reason is, at the frequencies these CPUs are talking to RAM, the reflection coefficient[1] starts playing a big role. This means any change in impedance in the wire cause reflections of the signal. This is also the reasoning w

My house also came with a nest, and I also never connected it to my network, but for me nest was a terrible dumb thermostat. It constantly tried to infer schedules and change the temperature on its own. I would set the temperature, come bac

I agree this is the ideal situation, but as it stands CAHSR is planned to terminate at union station in LA, quite far from LAX. Ideally LA metro or metrolink would build a direct connection between union station and LAX, but that hasn&#x27

Right, but that is still severely limited in my experience. Like I can't bind these programs to run on keyboard shortcut (or I guess the mobile equivalent would be a button on the home/lock screen?) I can't do basic UI-- even

I currently run LineageOS and am constantly frustrated with its limitations every day. On desktop linux I can quickly write up a program to do most anything I want in pretty much any language, and in my text editor of choice. I don't k

Interesting, are you saying that instead of reaching for `let foo = bar; in expr` you usually use something like `with { foo = bar; }; expr`? > Since it uses attrsets, we can use their existing functionality, like `rec` and `inherit`; ra

I agree the syntax isn't perfect, but in case you're actually confused there's really only 3 places where semicolons go, and I would argue that two of the places make a lot of sense— as a terminator for attribute sets, and a

This is exactly what the tool bubblewrap[1] is built for. It is pretty easy to wrap binaries with it and it gives you control over exactly what permissions you want in the namespace. [1]: https://github.com/containers/b

You can do this with vanilla Firefox using policies.json[1]. Check out `DisableAppUpdate` attribute. If you're using Firefox from nixpkgs this is already disabled by default[2]. [1]: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US&#x

I don't think it really addresses the issue because it still requires an account at one of the predetermined identity providers. With email I just need a domain and I can self host the rest if I really cared to. It would be so much nic

Fair, although I know quite a few people that hold both of these opinions simultaneously because I've met them in person. It's only after I point out their hypocrisy do they even realize what a danger Cloudflare poses to the free

The signature is the whole point of the QR code though, otherwise someone could just trivially create a QR code that has their name and "vaccinated = yes".

If the process you just described was actually secure then the computers could verify on its own. The problem is with an active mitm attack the attacker knows both sets of emojis and can modify the messages to both parties to look like they

You can use linux namespaces or a tool like bubblewrap to sandbox the process which makes it reasonably secure. However if you're running a GUI app that rendres to an X11 server all your security gains go out the window.

Some of the largest and most important software is developed over email, e.g. Linux, QEMU, Firefox, etc... Don't make the mistake thinking that email doesn't scale. In fact, for most teams, the opposite is true.

Do not confuse Google's revenue with market rate of an impression on YouTube. More revenue for Google does not equal higher pay for content creators. Google pays them the minimum to keep them on the platform. And that minimum is tiny s

Or you can do what I do and support the creators on patreon and continue to use adblock on YouTube. That way you can consume content without feeling guilty and not support Google's monopoly at the same time.

It's insane to me that virtual effects and backgrounds are a feature integrated into video conferencing to begin with. Why couple these things instead of having them live as a separate application that exposes a virtual camera to any s

Except it will never exist for discord because discord is a proprietary communication service instead of an open protocol. At best it can provide an API, but that can be broken or shut down on a whim. This is why it's a much better use

Backblaze B2 also requires a verified mobile phone number in order to use it - even if you've already given them a credit card. I would love there to be an option available at Backblaze B2 pricing, without a massive invasion of privacy

The path between two cities is privately owned and the owner charges people to walk through it. There is a side gate for bathroom access. This is akin to going up to the gate and telling the owner "I'm just here to use the bathroo
