Linux Desktops are having a moment this year, but there are still all sorts of sharp edges that a user has to navigate. Getting a laptop to properly hibernate such that the battery life is usable on the road is a whole roll-your-own-adventu

Even with copy-on-write, fork() still has to pay the setup cost for COW. If the parent process has a lot of busy threads (e.g. Java), you can end up doing a lot of unnecessary COW before exec() fires.

If Apple keeps using A Pro-series chips for the Neo, then the RAM will go to at least 12GB when they swap to the A19 Pro, or newer.

If I understand the article correctly, that second proof was published as a rider on a first proof that was entirely Dedekind's. So, there was definitely a credit owed at time of publishing. I came away with the impression that the big

The fact that it was even proposed in the first place is still concerning.

From a quick skim of hardware support on Wikipedia, it looks like encoding support for H.265 showed up in NVIDIA, AMD, et. al around 2015 whereas AV1 support didn't arrive until 2022. So, the apparent preference could simply be 5+ year

Agreed. I think the buried lede here is actually the clawback clause. With that in the contract, this isn't a $1.5 million dollar grant, it's a $1.5 million dollar liability. If you take the money and spend it on research and deve

Also, "git reflog" lists out all commit SHAs in chronological order. Trying to figure out how to rebase, but got lost and everything seems broken? You're just one "git reset" away from the better place you were in a

The control plane of Tailscale can even be self-hosted via the Headscale project: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale As for backups, I like both https://github.com/restic/restic and https:&#x2

I've never encountered a bouncer taking pictures of an ID. They check it, using a flashlight if needed, and wave you in.

Many businesses in the US check ID at the door. If you are underage, they don't let you in. On the surface it seems reasonable to ask for an equivalent ID check online. But. The bouncer doesn't photocopy my ID and store it in a po

This. There is plenty to dislike about Ruby, but it is exceptionally strong at implementing domain specific languages. Homebrew was able to use that to lower the barrier to packaging software. Also, using Git + GitHub instead of SVN + Trac

Yup. GitHub alone killed my last effort to go all-in on IPv6 for my personal cloud. Sure, I could have hacked my way through it. But, that was more work than just paying the extra few cents a month for IPv4.

That depends on whether you need to sell the bond before its maturity date. Supposing it is a 1 year bond, if you hold it for the full year you get your £100 back. If you need to sell early, then you might get less back if rates have risen

There is the unfortunately plausible scenario of the US Congress suffering a fit of insanity and blocking the ability of the Treasury to make a timely payment. It's hard to say what the outcome of such a move would be, but one possibil

Many brokerages also offer access to a public market of bank CD offerings. So, you can go that route and get FDIC insurance if you want while avoiding the pitfalls of dealing directly with a single bank outlined in the article. I prefer Tre

To point 1, I'd argue that a SQLite database is a great next step beyond CSV despite being a binary format.

Or who don't even care about the long-term health. Extract all you can today and dump the remains. Having a company that remains healthy and prosperous for generations is not an outcome that some investors seem to be optimizing for.

Most of the awk scripts I end up writing are for execution by other people on machines I don't have control over. If strptime was in the standard library, I could use it if I knew the target OS was something like "Ubuntu XX.XX or

I wish gawk had a native strptime function. Always seems like an odd omission given strftime is included.
