I suspect recentish versions of Windows still have the driver available, just not installed by default. However the article is about falsehoods programmers believe about LANs. If you are writing some kind of driver and assume all traffic yo

In metric, 19.2km of driving burns 4.5 litres of petrol? Is that right? That seems absurdly high even for a large ute.

From memory (I haven't lived in NZ for a while now), the WoF check could be done at VTNZ stations, which explicitly did not do repairs to avoid this conflict of interest. Alas, it looks like VTNZ was privatised and the exact outcome yo

Done, for what it's worth. Krbtray doesn't have much in the way of a GUI to show though!

If that is the entirety of their training regime, I will simultaneously be amazed and change my opinion. However, I still maintain that if someone is _only_ doing 8 minutes of HIIT 3x times a week, it is not equivalent of a getting 150 minu

by solraph 10mo ago
Fair enough, I don't think it changes my the conclusion though. On that basis, I would say that someone whose entire exercise regime is doing HIIT a few times a week for 8 minutes (24 minutes in total) is not going to be hitting the 6x

by solraph 10mo ago
tl;dr; Nope. Assuming that HIIT workouts are 100% vigorous activity (unlikely), then a "few" instances would only add up to around 24 minutes of vigorous activity, which is far short of the minimum recommended 75 minutes of vigoro

The paper indicated the Active group has doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week, or 75 minutes of high intensity activity activity (matching WHO guidelines[0]), and have done so for at least s

Any of the 1L PCs from Dell, HP, or Lenovo. They sip power (5~10 watts), and take up minimal space. I've got a 6 or 7 VMs running on one, and it barely breaks 5% CPU usage. See https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-p

> Men aren't allowed to have male-only gyms but women do Is that legally true? AFAICT, nobodies opening male-only gyms because there's no demand for them.

I guess it depends if you are after a club with men to help you climb some status ladder, or if you are after a club that helps you make male friends, regardless of where they come from.

I like the idea in general principle - but if I lived in the right city/country, and didn't already have something similar, my first thought based on the landing page pictures would be; "This is only for white guys in their t

It's not an unreasonable proposition, but it doesn't explain why I'm seeing the exact same hiring trends in Australia, even before the USA election.

> It's possible that AI may have some kind of impact on the industry too with respect to productivity, but I'd bet that it's nowhere near a 10-20% gain and it's not a factor at all in the difficulty of finding a job.

I have found Copilot to be useful enough to use if someone else pays for it. In some cases it was useful (writing Golang functions that perform basic SQL CRUD functions). Others times, not so much. As I said above, I'm not claiming it&

My take for SE roles is that it's a combination of AI giving enough gains[0] to reduce head count requirements, combined with the higher interest rates cutting off the tap of free money for startups that never really made economic sens

Even for the most heinous crimes, the death penalty has one massive glaring practical problem. What if the sentenced person is actually innocent? No amount of apologies or recompensation will bring that person back.

I had this issue with my Lenovo laptop that shipped with Ubuntu and some Broadcom piece of rubbish wifi that also broke the crap out of sleep mode. The solution was to buy a $40 Intel Wifi card and swap it out. I haven't thought about

I agree with most of this list, and I'd add some kind of null coalescing or ternary operator, even if it was limited to one operater per expression, and a date time handling library that doesn't make me want to pull.my hair out. T

Without knowing anything about the system at all - does it use the same payment system as the buses?

Alongside the other reasons mentioned (comfort, right of ways, dedicated corridors), it's blatantly obvious where trams run due to the tracks in the ground. With a bus, there's always the potential the route has changed, or your s

I've run various meetups in the past, some of which have been successful, some not. The biggest thing I learned was that you if you start it, you have to drive it. If you take a few months off, don't expect anyone else to pick it
