Which is fine. Burn your tokens (with all the carbon emissions they generate in data centers) doing more involved tasks like that. Don’t waste it on silly, easy things like simple macros, search/replace, etc. AI doesn’t…
If the original source is 44.1KHz, and this codec prefers 48KHz, is there an issue up-sampling to 48KHz before doing the AAC encode? I think that's really the question with this work: up-sampling to 48k, not…
Smart TVs are always monitoring what you’re watching by taking screenshots and processing them. This is a known thing for at least several years now. The only safe way to use a smart TV is to never connect it to the…
My setup is: dark mode, color filters tint red, brightness 0, and reduce white point. It’s almost completely unusable in regular lit rooms, but nice in complete darkness (mostly apps like Instapaper). The main issue I…
I think a lot of developers (e.g. the HN crowd) aren’t aware that pretty much all non-IT businesses people, from receptionists to the C-suite, really do think that what IT people do is take their (business people’s)…
Maybe it’s better to start in a smaller, more focused and less controversial topic to set some precedents before trying to boil the ocean.
This is about how 401ks and pensions are going to be forced to buy into (or very close to) the IPO. That affects “most Americans” whether they want to participate or not.
It depends on the firmware running on the SSD, so theoretically it’s possible but practically it’s not. Instead, SSDs use a special command to zero all cells on the chip at once, so it’s all or nothing. You can’t target…
Yes. All of the assumptions made with shred and sdelete apply only for spinning HDDs. SSDs require different methods of wiping.
That assumption has come up in almost every conversation I’ve ever had with semi-technical people regarding git, so the confusion is just a fact. It happens so often, I think Linus (or whoever controlled the git…
What if you have a few local machines you’re using for development, and want to keep them in sync? This method allows that single central repo without having to bounce all the code through a cloud hosting service.
It may have been (probably was) a conscious choice illustrating how new things were (i.e. those people didn’t grow up typing to a level where it was muscle memory). Also, keyboard layouts on early machines were far from…
As the models keep improving, wouldn’t you be able to task a newer AI to “clean up this mess”?
They’re not describing any kind of burnout; just fatigue from working or being overstimulated. Taking a break a the exact remedy for this condition, but many people take breaks in a way that’s not actually restorative…
OpenWRT updates are very much discouraged on an ongoing basis primarily because most devices running it use very cheap flash chips which are small and fail quickly after too many writes. They’re nowhere near the level…
False Dilemma fallacy
Pricing for any item is set by one thing: what people are willing to pay for it. If a business raised prices because of tariffs, and consumers paid the higher price, that was a successful test that consumers are willing…
Figuring out how to document stuff for others forces you to think things through at a deeper level yourself, and that’s the main point of the idea being presented here. Forcing yourself to organize your own thoughts is…
The juice is still much less healthy. It’s the act of having your guts extract the nutrients that makes fruit healthy, because it reduces how quickly your body absorbs it. Once you make it into juice (or a smoothie) by…
Zip drives arrived at exactly the same time as digital art, the web, and most importantly Macromedia Flash. Maybe the CS people with a few source code files didn’t fully use the space, but the art kids certainly did.…
Sounds like you’re overdoing it when you do exercise. Focus on just getting some kind of motion, not pushing yourself until your muscles or heart feel like they’re working hard. Even if you feel like it’s not really…
The idea that it’s just “more bits” it’s wrong, so I’m not sure your assessment is valid. Maybe at the packet level it’s just “more bits”, but at the network level a lot of processes changed. IP assignment, router…
What you seem to be misunderstanding is that your whole process of nuking IPv6 is more work than studying the issue for a few minutes and then listening on both protocols. Setting a service to listen on a port will use…
If the app was written using the S3 API, it would be much faster/cheaper to migrate to a local system the provides the same API. Switching to local IO would mean (probably) rewriting a lot of code.
Ferrite chokes easily fix this problem. Very useful to have a box of them in an office full of people. It’s pretty clear that most modern standards (HDMI, DisplayPort, thunderbolt, etc) are so close to their physical…
