Maybe that is because you are the one not listening. You even note the problems, but then wave them away saying that "the government could fix them." So have the government fix those problematic regulations first, and then the AI

One option is to stick a mini-UPS in-between the wall the devices. Such a thing is internally a handful of lithium cells and some DC outputs. For powering a handful of things that consume less than 100W they are quite useful because they ty

Yeah, as someone who had to implement a protocol stack to talk to a X.400 server, it was not fun at all. Weird encodings, monster spec, all sorts of weird server-specific stuff that you had to do exactly right if you wanted the server to ac

So this is basically Pick ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system ) for the modern world. Which is a good thing, its about time we resurrected this idea. I wish them the best.

I was there, reading the ipv6 mailing list eagerly. Address space exhaustion was a smaller problem because NAT was pretty primitive, so called carrier grade NAT was not even a thing yet. But cisco had the largest routers and their biggest

A couple of years later ipv6 became unnecessary. A big driver for ipv6 at the time was routers not being able to manage the increasing size of the core routingtable. Then 2 years later betterhardware and routing table compression became ava

Just get some clear nailpolish and apply it with the included brush. Not as good but dead easy.

Collabora was unhappy about the LOOL revival, but not enough to leave. It was only when TDF contrived reasons to expel Collabora people that Collabora decided to leave. (Full Disclosure: I am one of the Collabora people expelled)

I suspect that Time Machine is no longer used by a sufficiently large % of their customer base for them to care, and they are slowly sunsetting it. They are quite aggressive about that sort of thing, so I expect it to to deprecated in favou

motors do not like the impact loads that wheels see, which is why bicycles with hub motors do not have a long lifespan

Or.... smoking may be indicative of people from poorer backgrounds, where health is generally lower. (cant say for sure, but thats the case where I am from) Statistics 101: Correlation is not causation.

That is a pity. Clearly we need some kind of Home For Abandoned Code :-)

Is this not what the Linux Foundation was about at one stage? Taking ownership of unmaintained projects so that at least they have the bare minimum of patches being applied, CI/CD running, releases being created?

There is a Chinese player that has taken effective control of various internet-related entities in the Seychelles. Various ongoing court-cases currently. So the seychelles traffic is likely really disguised chinese traffic.

If you repair it yourself, you have more flexibility in terms of replacing spares with newer items i.e. replacing a whole module when it a part of that module becomes hard to come by. Internal documentation ..... hmmmm.... LOL.... Often not

Sadly the US military (like a lot of militaries) are in love with custom requirements. And there is very little leeway for negotiating them out. So unnecessarily custom solutions are the norm.

by grandinj 1y ago
It was muuuch cheaper that way. Because adding in repair stuff requires the supplier to provide documentation, frequently training, a parts manifest, guaranteed 10-20 year availability of spares, and probably about 50 other requirements I d

this might trick the heuristics in the right direction ie. feed the GPU a bunch of small tasks (i.e. with a small number of samples) instead of big tasks.

This article starts by saying "we dont know what actually happened here, or why" and then goes on to make various insinuations and suppositions, and then proposes policy based on that. This not useful. More data is required.

Does that matter? Most of the time you will be limited by the network tower and the number of people around you using phones. Energy efficiency is more important to most heavy mobile data users, I would guess

Hmmm. Seems to me they took on a little too much technical risk at the start of an already complex project, to wit, buying into Rust on the kernel side. Rust in the linux kernel was always going to be a long game. You don't want to hav

So basically, as long as you are large enough to have direct contact with the upstream team, have a separate team to manage React Native itself, and have two separate teams for iOS and Android to manage stuff that needs native access, you a
