I thought this was totally fascinating. Having a compact static object that can be used to cook without any other fuel inputs seems like a convenient thing to have around if you're in the latitude range where it would work. I've

Yes. Firefox has its own password manager and profile system. Once I copied the chrome settings to firefox, I closed chrome and rarely open it these days.

I’ve had to budget a line of business app that runs on both z/OS and AWS. Reliability for both hit an asymptote somewhere around 2019. The opex price crossover happened somewhere around the same time, depending on the customer. Nearl

One client of mine has a couple repositories for non-mission critical things like their fork of an open source project, decommissioned microservices, a SVG generator for their web front-end, etc. They also take this approach of "whatev

That’s interesting, I was looking at the ICE ERO statistics and not only do they show up as not having a published data source, only metadata, the corresponding dashboards at ice.gov/statistics seem to not be working. I don’t know wha

The equal sign is a required character for anything base64 encoded, which includes some things you’d expect to be in a config file, like ssh public keys and x509 certs.

The “CC” in the TI part numbers stands for “ChipCon”, who TI acquired for these wireless products. The CC1100, one of their earliest parts, has a documented but unsupported debug mode which dumps raw quadrature samples out some of the I&#x

TI has had wifi+bluetooth microcontrollers for almost a decade now, and you get a cortex m4.

That’s interesting, it’s like the difference between code used at runtime (protein coding DNA) and initialization code (lncRNAs). Both have to be there for the program to work, but the initialization code is only used at startup to look at

If your staging doesn’t do capacity checks in excess of what production sees, yes.

OpenVMS and all its predecessors are still useful and, I think, ideal for real-time control applications and clustered high-reliability setups. The OS is structured much differently than pretty much everything else, so you can treat an Ope

I use a Helium Mobile eSIM, which I pay with crypto. I set it up in something like 10 minutes when I became eligible for an account. No problems so far. I've also had eSIMs from FirstNet and AT&T, no problems there either. Runni

Disabling script signing on dev machines and requiring signatures on production scripts sounds like perfectly reasonable behavior to me. I know a lot of people are scared of pki but it’s way easier than people think. Signing things is a o

It’s not an admin vulnerability, so there’s no hatchway. The real issue here is blindly passing user-provided input to a batch script, possibly from the Internet, and if you’re doing that then you’ve got much bigger problems. If you’re do

I can’t seem to find cost information for any of Pragmatic Semi’s parts, even their high volume RFID tags which are supposedly shipping. The 6502 seems to be a technology demonstrator that has no commercial application, as there’s no corres

The LLM based explanations were the key thing about this app for me. It’s hard for me to fit foreign vocabularies into context for long-term recall without etymologies and comparisons to common roots in Latin, and I’ve already had several

I’ve had this happen when I called in a support request for some iOS issue I had. Their interface has all the devices on your Apple ID, and they can enable screen sharing on any of them after you accept it via a notification. I have to ad

The factors that contribute the most are 1) Bluetooth devices are usually battery powered and have their microwave RF section and DSPs implemented in power-sensitive silicon. Layer 1 and 2 performance is not good. 2) The Bluetooth specific

A product I worked on got real popular, so scaling up the support department became a real pain since the devs were running all kinds of different distros and so we had CI and package support for Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS... except that

Part of the reason CoPilot is so good is that they reportedly ingested a huge chunk of GitHub. Now that everyone's onto this scam where they're not getting paid to help train some model, there's legal challenges to the legal

I wish this was upvoted more. This is the correct way to troubleshoot the bug, full stop. You can get symbolic stack traces with full arguments and source code on Windows in about 5-10 minutes for any Chrome crash by following these instr

The canals are just the edges of the entire path, the part in between is enormous compared to them. Because they flooded a forest, there’s a lot going on in the intermediate lake.

It's an emulated s390x on x64, but yes, you can spin up emulated z/OS images in their own LPARs just fine in IBM cloud. You can get a real Linux LPAR on mainframe hardware, too. For a while, it was even part of the free tier.

Big tech products are decoupled from the physical world and ultimately not critical for society to function, so the workloads are highly variable. Mainframes are a good fit when you have workloads that don't vary by several orders of

CS61A in particular is important for understanding the nuts and bolts of how programming works. The people who tended to do well in the course had little prior exposure to specific programming languages outside the prerequisite class. I t
