I tried it last night (generally cloudless sky). With the naked eye it just looked like light pollution. With long exposure it looked like a weirdly lit picture. In neither case did I see any hint of green or red. I’m not in the city, but y

I have, on my iPhone, RCS messages from businesses that don’t show up as a green bubble, have (somewhat) interactive components, and exhibit non-standard (also non-intuitive) behavior I didn’t expect of either an RCS or an iMessage. So I gu

Do you need long exposure to make it visible with a camera? How does that work in the presence of light pollution?

Of course they do. That’s how tariffs work but people somehow have been deluded into thinking otherwise. Everyone that’s ever lived in a non-western country with import duties knows that.

Thanks for the correction but they're tooting their own horn either way.

I'm not a frontend dev but I came up with this and use it a lot in my userscripts. It's not the most efficient (it can certainly be refactored to create a MutationObserver singleton and then have each call hook into that) but it w

You’ll get a lot of responses but for me (excuse the nostalgia), icon design peaked with famfamfam’s (aka Mark James’s) Silk iconset from ~2005. It was a shame they were never available at higher resolutions (or as SVG), though I’m betting

This is a presser (disguised as a science piece) from the company behind this; take it all with a grain of salt. Also, epoxy already contains harmful endocrine disruptors, adding forever chemicals like those found in almost all flame retard

That’s all well and good but it simply doesn’t make it an open source teensy.

You don’t. You write an api that exposes the bare minimum and let it use it.

It was intentional price gouging, but prices have become to come down after shareholders pressured CEOs to lower the prices in response to tepid sales numbers. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pepsico-cut-prices-eliminate

$699.99 for the SkyHawk AI 32TB, $729.99 for the Exos 32TB, and $849.99 for the IronWolf Pro 32TB. (They all seem to be the same drive with different firmware, as is the norm.) That’s $22/GB.

I hated Windows 8 but this would make a nice kid-friendly OS.

Corrupt person engages in further corruption, shocked marks surprised to learn he hasn’t changed. News at six.

Great. Thanks for that tip, though.

Thanks, that’s really relevant. https://www.cityofevanston.org/Home/Components/News/News/667...

I eagerly clicked the link but they're just looking for another vendor that does the same thing. It's like boycotting Marlboro only to buy from Camel.

Has anyone had success getting their city to take down the Flock cameras? Ours just added them maybe a year and a half ago. They popped up in multiple nearby municipalities around the same time, I'm not sure if it was coordinated actio

That explains it. I was curious because rust is probably about half my list only.

No, it doesn’t. This isn’t a Medium gripe (which sucks but isn’t to blame for once). Edit: this comment made sense before the post I replied to was edited to clarify that there is no material difference.

I was captivated by the introduction but I only made it halfway through before I gave up. The random bolding and emphasizing of almost every other word really put me off. Also, even though I can see that it's clearly had a ton of human

I was writing async rust on top of the embedded Hal crate for stm32 before embassy was properly “a thing”. Maybe before it existed. Before async/await were even part of the language. It’s not an embassy exclusive even if its api embrac

IOCTLs can tell you if write caching is enabled or not. Can they reliably tell you whether the write cache is volatile, though? Many drives with PLPs still report volatile write caches, or at least did when I was testing this a few years ba

by ComputerGuru 8mo ago
I suspect it’s a misunderstanding. PLP capacitors let the drive not flush writes before reporting a write completed in response to a sync request, but they don’t let the software skip making that call.

C++ has the opposite problem where people think they can just dynamically or statically link against any api be ok. You can’t cross the ABI barrier without a) knowing it’s there, and b) respecting its rules. You get lucky when all assets ha
