The solution is A/B testing and then looking at the resulting crash statistics. Weekly reports produced by the connected BI system should use excrutiatingly precise language like "number of…

None of it matters if the controls aren’t responding. You’ll know, too, because they make that sad static beepy noise like some sort of Tactile Control Panel ACKnowledgement failure.
I can’t argue with you there. The Pentagon’s silence is deafening; I only want to caution myself as much as anyone against jumping to conclusions. It may be AI, it may be bad intelligence, it may be Russian…
Modern 802.11 implementations are wildly complex. The output from `iw list` on a Linux system with a modern WiFi radio, a trip through the example configuration that ships with `hostapd`, or perusing the lengthy list of…
“Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” — Oscar Wilde, The Decay of Lying (1889)
Oh my... This is how the code could look indeed. Which LLM did you use to generate this?
Yes! I also used glyphosate to kill things growing in and around my sidewalk, driveway, steps, and curb. I've also used a propane torch for the same purposes, but it requires more effort and cannot be applied quite so…
> As I'm sure you're aware, glyphosate is usually only appropriate as a weed killer on your property if you're looking to kill all vegetation in/around where you spray it. > It's a non-selective herbicide in this…
Nest is hardly the only thermostat out there using solid-state relays. Have you considered the possibility that they did take it into account and they deliberately chose to use SSRs instead of electromechanical relays?…
Well that's certainly a take. Solid state relays using optoisolated MOSFETs have been around for fifty years. Mechanical relays are overkill for signal switching as in HVAC thermostats, IMHO, but you do you.…
I also went about looking at the difference rather than the order. In the hexadecimal case, the difference is 15 (0xEF vs 0x12). I thought, then, that for any base B with ascending digits A and descending digits D,…

At infinity, the shape becomes a sphere and all orientations of it are identical. It is no longer a convex polyhedron and, thus, not subject to consideration.
Podman is daemonless while docker is a client/server pair. Podman also shipped with support for rootless containers, though Docker now has that capability as well. The podman CLI is nearly a drop-in replacement for…
I've experienced the mind-numbing frustration of API specs that don't match the implementation, which is why I have embraced the concept of requiring the spec to be part of the implementation. For example, the…
Mostly the fact that it's based on Markdown, which makes the raw specification far easier to read with a text editor than OpenAPI/Swagger. Markdown also permits styling in the various descriptive portions, which makes…
Others have already mentioned that this is possible with iOS. iOS 14 introduced a bunch of privacy improvements including the PHPickerViewController, but some apps may not yet be using it. [0] I will say that in the…
Gruber is famously protective of the original Markdown specification and his specific use case. He’s reacting to others’ expectations and clarifying his position that a “Markdown editor” is a bit of an oxymoron. He…
The site was assembled using webpack and at least one element has a `data-react-helmet` attribute, so my guess is it's a React or React derivative such as Next.js. You're right -- it's not progressive enhancement and…

Great read, though I am compelled to comment on this ad-hoc date/time conversion: $ date=$(python3 -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1707074879).isoformat())') Consider reaching for `date` from…
