One of the more ridiculous stories I remember from Uni was sysadmins getting very upset that students were fork bombing the server. But... it was from the students in the systems programming class that were just learning about fork/exe

I was caught by surprise on this. I have P8Pro and while its fine, I was just kind of curious about how much of an upgrade it would be to the 11Pro, especially since I haven't really given the last two years releases any attention. But

My point with the c comparison is that it often feels like a very thin layer that still requires you to know a lot about what's going on under the hood. It was more to give a view in what it's like to work with the lib/api. M

I think OP is overstating it a bit tbh. So Nvidia has the market for the hardware, which helps, but there is literally no alternative to CUDA. Nvidia keeps it a scalpel for skilled users, its not super easy to use, but unlocks orders of mor

I am not sure I understand your question- MUDs have a text interface, somewhat similar to a command line. It wouldn't be a proper MUD if it had a graphical interface- there are plenty of games out there that do this like Baldurs Gate.

That's really interesting- I wish I could go back 30 years and verify that- I am a bit skeptical to be honest, as a young sponge with my first computer I was reading everything available to me- which wasn't much, a book on windows

So I actually had a use case for this last month. My NAS is too weak to run immich well, so I dusted off my old sandybridge core i7 laptop from ~2011, and it actually benchmarks about 4x my nas, and has 8GB of RAM. But it was still loaded w

Journeyman Project... that brought back a deep rooted memory. Its still not clear to me if my Packard Bell came with a full version or a demo, because I remember being stuck about an hour in and could not figure out how to progress. I also

Eh... yes but, I can write a sql query and come back a year later and understand it at first glance, or maybe if its really complicated a minute or two. Writing a regex involves always looking up the syntax, and being unable to read it an h

I'm personally just at messages. And even then I make it clear I respond when I want to. Only phone rings/notifications I get are for those in my contact list. Take your phones back. Life is immensely better these days.

Once word got out that a report was going up to a department head around commit frequency, a few of us started to make "backup commits" to boost our stats. Whether it be dev server config files (just in case!), local dev setups, w

I have had to do this, well over a decade ago now, when working at a place that was a pretty big deal in the node world, and node was still pretty new. They helped us. I would imagine GH would do the same if its a high enough profile issue.

I think the issue is that we have under built so much for so long, that it often feels futile to build more. NYC can feel like this, because due to zoning and general difficulties in building, all that seems to happen is a new building goes

What is your mental model for this then? If the "2BR shack" can be built from scratch for 300k, and the value for the lot + shack is $3M, then the land value is $2.7M. Most expensive real estate is land value, not actual structure

The numbers are seasonally adjusted- the reports themselves are not very difficult to read, I suggest you go to to the source: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm The bigger question is the impact of immigr

Appreciate the clarification. I guess its a case of I don't know what I don't know, but the choice of metric around quality was just an odd one. And yeah I assumed silk because I can't imagine a wool scarf going through a rin

I am kind of lost here on this whole scarf through a ring thing as well. This is just a function of the thickness of the scarf? My wife went through a scarf phase about a decade ago, and I am pretty sure a Pucci scarf could easily fit throu

I think this is behavior that should be encouraged online. Staying quiet and letting the experts talk to increase the signal to noise ratio is a GOOD thing. OP has hands on experience with something that is at least for now quite niche. I u

I don't love all the new tahoe stuff, and do wish I could go roll back, but this hand wringing around Apple is way overblown IMHO. What he is reporting is real, but in my actual usage I haven't noticed this at all- in other words,

Heh, I agree. There is a vast ocean of dev work that is just "upgrade criticalLib to v2.0" or adding support for a new field from the FE through to the BE. I can name a few times where I worked on something that you could consider

But the "fraud" here is being done mostly to VC investors with deep pockets and lawyers, at least until he tries to take this entity public. And I can't imagine them just taking this lying down, but then again maybe they real
