They have price limits, but I think GP means volume alert limits. Someone unexpectedly bids a third of the Finnish production capacity, you call them and ask if they are sure.
There are many market participants, some of whom start trading on this information immediately. The Finnish grid is connected to the rest of Europe so a market participant could in principle flow this cheap energy from…
With Zig and Rust you have to explicitly opt-out with `ReleaseFast` and `unsafe` respectively, that makes a big difference. Rust has the added safety that you cannot (to my knowledge at least) gain performance by opting…
> Performance topped out at 111 MiB/s (931 Mbps), which is suspiciously close to 1 Gbps. That's because of overhead in TCP over IPv4. You're testing the payload throughput, not the physical throughput. The theoretical…
Moore's law is about transistor density, not single-core performance. Even if a new generation of chips obeys the "law", there is no requirement that the designers dedicate the improvement to single-core performance.…
That is fair, I suppose, but why use a different DNS server than the default for your home network? I still think there's something fundamentally wrong with a DNS configuration that breaks Windows connectivity tests. I…
Yes, it's not good. > That way any other people on his network wouldn’t have a problem, either. Given that he's setting DNS servers statically on his own clients and has working DNS resolution on the DHCP-provided DNS…
While the project is super interesting, this seems like network horror to me. Not only is something "wrong" with the network (guessing dns.msftncsi.com is blackholed), the author is setting DNS servers statically on his…
Yes, it says so in footnote 1 in the article. It's also not the benchmarked code so it doesn't really matter.
I believe this is the reply in question: https://twitter.com/colinmbrandt/status/1409577979731058699 See for example: https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless...
File access should, by its very nature, be asynchronous. If you're only introducing asynchronicity to support Flatpak portals, the original code was flawed. You could also argue the reverse: if synchronous file access…
As a human-readable configuration language, YAML probably beats JSON and XML, but the implicit typing rules in the spec make it horrible to work with. I've written a lot of YAML for Ansible and it has some awful…
But if you write defensively, like the post suggests, you won't be surprised by bad library writers.
That much is obvious. The blog post has an example of something that appears to be non-breaking (at least it would be in many other languages), but actually does break things. Both the library creator and user messed up…
That is not a realistic scenario. Firstly, there's no waking up to find your server is unresponsive. It's part of the deal when you sign up. Secondly, public IPs are always an option. Thirdly, the ISPs I have used have…
CGNAT is standard for all smaller ISPs in Denmark. I'm not sure if it's mainly to stay competitive or due to limited supply, but they offer public IPv4 addresses upon request, sometimes for free. It makes sense really;…
It is probably not a typo, they are aware of the difference. Just read their support page. [0] > Unless otherwise stated, TUXEDO always uses ISO standard keyboards. Other standards, such as ANSI, are available depending…

I like the init system (admittedly, I have not been using Linux long enough to remember a time before systemd), but components like networkd and resolved are a pain to work with in general. I've had the networkd DHCP…
Sure it does. They are two separate packages, run on two separate network ports and completely incompatible. Just pretend that WireGuard v2 is unrelated to WireGuard. "OpenVPN and WireGuard coexistence doesn't work…

It seems really weird to me that this post doesn't address what aspects of real-time multiplayer gaming need a reliable transport. The idea of a low-latency reliable transport might seem interesting, but client-server…
I'm still not convinced this coverage is in any way related to Zoom's current popularity or COVID-19, I just think a company that keeps fucking up is a better story than a one-off.
