It's very frustrating because nowhere on that page is there a list of which modems have the bad chips and which don't. Which doesn't help at all with the most obvious way to fix this problem: stop buying modems with the bad chips. Many people (myself included) don't trust the cable modems our ISPs provide, or don't want to pay a monthly rental on one, when we can just buy one for ourselves. If people like me had information on which modems not to buy, we could help to exert market pressure. Why do people think that the only way to fix a problem like this is to complain to the company that created it in the hope that they'll fix it out of the goodness of their hearts? When has that ever actually worked?

A few that I've written to scratch my own itch or fill a need. Some of which I ended up sprucing up a bit and publishing publicly.

sitesync - Program that could sync files and folders on local file system and remote (FTP or SFTP). Mainly used to help maintain a web site that other people were also modifying. It allowed me to develop on my local copy and push changes without clobbering anything someone else had changed. (Unpublished)

erudite - [0] - Pull articles from Instapaper or Pocket and add to your ebook library (including Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)

bday - [1] - The super simple birthday and anniversary reminder program. Wrote for myself but several family members also like it. Originally on Windows and then ported to Linux as well.

moviesschedule - [2] - Tracks Australian movie release dates and can even maintain a Google calendar of the movies you are interested in.

coffeegrinder - Java program to help fold automation of coffeescript compilation to javascript. Included optional GUI for viewing javascript version updates whenever the .coffee file was saved. (Unpublished)

bom - A little web-site and FTP scraper to retrieve local weather info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. (Unpublished)

bgdicecalc - Little GUI program to easily figure out probabilities for various dice rolls in Backgammon. Want to convert this to a web-page some time. (Unpublished)

feedme - Web-site scraper to create RSS feeds of various comic strips (e.g. Dilbert) with the image directly in the feed. (Unpublished)

I am not sure what you mean by this. As in, work on cool non-cryptocurrency related stuff?
This reads like someone who only watches Marvel movies complaining about how they've lost interest in movies because they all feel the same.

If you don't branch out and expand beyond the bog-standard, yeah, eventually it'll all feel the same.

Thank you! I currently use https://github.com/victor-savinov/regex which is also nice.
While we don't do exactly that, when pulling out lists of ID's like that for someone else, internal or external, we strive to include a description column as well.

This might be customer id and customer name, article number and article description, invoice id and invoice number etc.

Then it is usually very clear to the recipient what they've been handed.

Also, for internal autoinc-type id's, we mostly use sequence generators with non-overlapping "series". That is, we'll start first one at 1 million, second at 2 million or similar. Not perfect but can be useful.
I think that only storyline-driven games are interesting since I have a thing for appreciating good stories. As a result, I find that most games are boring since they heavily depend on lore or don't directly present a clear story (eg. Elden Ring or BoTW). I'm not really sure what the last two paragraphs of this post are trying to get at, but I also fail to see the enjoyment of multiplayer games, since I only find video games another medium to tell a story. If they aren't for stories, I can't really find any enjoyment from them.

What's the purpose of playing a video game, or slaying an enemy, or exploring a world if I don't have an intricate plot that supports my actions? As such, I see no fruition in most games. The only games I've enjoyed playing in the past four years is Persona 5 (and now Yakuza 0) since they are extremely plot-driven and my gameplay is a means to further a story. If there isn't a purpose to my playing, then I can't play.
I think some paper straw designs are bad, especially recent ones created solely to capitalize on this. However, I've used some that were stiffened with wax (not good for hot drinks but stronger when chilled - great for milkshakes), and some that were rectangular that bent like a gutter drain that were pretty pleasant. I don't think it's beyond possibility to create thoughtful, functional paper straws.

In general, I'd rather use anything besides plastic and I don't really use straws, so the existence of bad straws doesn't affect me. I own a few metal ones that probably took more energy to create than all of the straws I've used in the past two decades, but whatever.
My understanding is that newer/denser transistors are actually more susceptible to single event upsets, because it takes less energy to flip a bit.
How do you implement per tenant backups? Not every db system cleanly separates where each tenant’s data is stored.
A trypophobian nightmare.
By the examples, do you mean the fact we are using Codesandbox embed to show code examples of the editor itself?

Lexical definitely has the foundational requirements capable of building a CodeMirror or Monaco editor, but that wasn't our initial target with this library. That doesn't mean that we don't expect the community to push it that way in the future, we fully expect that. Let's see how things go, competition is healthy! :)
Totally. Pre-ultra-DMA IDE would have been in the same ballpark as 10mb/s.
I also figured it had been designed so that it could be quiet - if you can keep the volume of the cooler large enough then you can use slower fans right?
"We" is so ominous, so threatening. Why not just say, "we on HackerNews", or "we in the Linux community", or "we at THX"?
The author must have smarter friends than me because I've definitely witnessed mine fall for this fallacy. I've even had them ague that's it's a good strategy away from the casino where there are no sunk costs.

> They key difference here is between people rationally knowing that those odds are independent, and them being able to bridge that to their irrational belief that they're special, or lucky, or that they're "owed" luck.

I think in part it's just greed as well, they think they can have that money that all those unlucky people have lost. This greed then gets rationalized as luck/skill/smarts in a way that's not dissimilar to how people rationalize joining pyramid schemes.
Totally with you, koof. I think I’ve always enjoyed most write-ups and trailers of games and films more than the actual games and films. Only a few truly deliver.
I think this sums up this article perfectly.

There are big social problems among Millennials and younger (at least in the West); many of them are desperate to participate in their societies meaningfully and be rewarded (individually or collectively) for doing so. The "I want a big picture, a grand goal that we strive towards. Something noble that we yearn for" quote from this article sums that up perfectly.

I, thankfully, have this kind of satisfaction in my life, and it doesn't come from gaming. But most of my friends do not have this, and they desperately look for it in video games. Perhaps even this is the ultimate goal of Meta. I wish my generation and younger the best in their struggles to find meaning in life, and let's hope it's not anything too damaging to themselves or others.
It looks like at least one other site sees the same problem--and, helpfully, provides information on which modem models have it:

One suggestion - it might be nice to weight projects with recent commits highly -- some of the projects listed haven't seen any activity in a while. A lack of recent activity is not always associated with issues, but it can be.
That was nicely done.

Gitea is nice. It's a self-hosted Github-like.
Not sure how well it scales to big teams and projects though. Probably can't be worse than Jira...
For anyone who likes that easter egg aspect and strategy games, I highly recommend the Anbennar total conversion mod for the grand strategy/kind-of-4X game Europa Universalis IV. The mod is more or less a 4X-game version of an extremely intricate D&D setting, and there's all sorts of content and interesting implicit setting elements you can only come across by trying out the many, many different nations, tribes, and adventurer bands in the mod.

Depending on the size of the tenant’s data, moving to a new environment could take a while.

But the idea of doing a full restore to a new environment, then only enabling accounts for the impacted tenants, is a good one.
Writer confuses the gambler's fallacy with the law of large numbers. The gambler's fallacy concerns individual coin flips, which are obviously independent. The law of large numbers concerns the average of many coin flips, which will converge given enough flips. But that doesn't make the gambler's fallacy any less fallacious - particularly in a casino, where the averages are deliberately set up to favor the house, and the house gets a much, much larger number of trials than the gambler.
That probably explains why I didn't know about dnf; I only rarely use CentOS, so if using "yum" worked for basic things, then I wouldn't even have known it was calling dnf.
I think that it depends on the city as well, but I don't think it's a good idea anywhere honestly.
The secret to hydrogen safety is assuming everything leaks at all times, and maintaining positive airflow everywhere that hydrogen is not wanted, so the concentration cannot build up to the point where ignition is possible.

You need to worry about material degradation mainly at high pressure where the material has to be very strong, and where the hydrogen is driven into the crystal structure, weakening it. At low pressure, ordinary aluminum is resistant to hydrogen degradation, and doesn't need to be strong.

Whether liquid hydrogen is kept refrigerated below its boiling point, or kept well insulated but allowed to boil off, will depend on detailed engineering analysis. As the energy needed to produce it gets cheaper, the extra complication of keeping it too cold to boil gets less attractive. Maybe to refrigerate the tank, it needs to be above-ground so servicing is possible; but without, it can be wholly underground and thereby better insulated.
Check out “Farhaven AR” in the Apple App Store. It was made as an immersive adventure with the player at the center to buck the trend in today’s games and return to the basics of enjoyable gameplay and storylines. It’s free right now too.

Look, I try to reduce the amount of energy I use for both environmental reasons as well as to save money. His energy bill amount is not what is staggering, it's his energy usage amount.

>that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.

Also, his pool costs almost the same amount as his house per month.
>During that time, Nashville Gas Company billed the family an average of $536 a month for the main house and $544 for the pool house in 2006, and $640 for the main house and $525 for the pool house in 2005.

I mean, they're really more like trade embargoes, which have existed for hundreds of years. Thomas Jefferson reacted to the Chesapeake affair, for example, by cutting off all international US trade. In retrospect, probably a pretty ineffective foreign policy choice, since it tanked the US economy and didn't particularly hurt the Brits, who were happy that France could no longer trade with the US. (This occurred during the background of the Napoleonic wars and the Royal Navy impressing US sailors).
Being able to see an island from 50 miles away would greatly increase the chance of finding it, even in an expanse as large as the ocean.
There is a lot more to TTRPGs besides D&D.

I play lighter and more narratively focused games where the focus is collaboratively creating worlds and stories.

Lasers and Feelings has been the biggest hit around my table but I also have a reoccuring game of Dungeon World every other week.

It doesn’t matter if they do or not-so far, sending an email and making me go find and open it is 10x more annoying than, and only slightly less friction than, _manually_ setting up a login in 1Password… and I’ll actually hate you (whoever made me use it) for it, since you’ll send another email next time I need to do anything.

Further, you’ll be leaking information about what I’m using to Google for their ad machine if it happens to be GMail, or any of the other even-less-reputable email services that people have.

That I have to clean it out of my inbox later-since when I click on it or, more likely, tap it on my mobile, you’ll swap back to your app or site-along with all the other shit I have to clean up-OTPs for “extra security” I didn’t ask for on a “new device” and another email alert for every single login to something and so on, is just icing on the cake.

A solution is needed so thank you for trying to come up with something; email is not it.

Otherwise, it looks clean.

bigot (plural bigots)

One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups, and intolerant of (people of) differing ideas, races, genders, _religions_, politics, etc. [1]

I think it's a confusion of similar terms - there's the TLB (translation lookaside buffer) of the MMU, which is an extremely small fast buffer of recent MMU translations - there's no chance that is anywhere near 32mb. This is often designed to be hit within a single cycle, so has tighter restrictions than even the l1 caches of modern CPUs.

Then there's also the GPU tile buffer (which they may also be calling a "TLB" here?) - which I think is what he's referring to here - on a TBDR system there's an advantage if it can calculate multiple passes on the image while keeping all needed info in the on-chip tile buffer (Think stuff like depth and color data when rendering a large scene), as if the intermediate results aren't actually needed (such as a partially drawn scene where more objects will be drawn on top of some of the pixels, or an intermediate output before some post-processing pass) it may never actually touch the main memory so has the ability to save a lot of bandwidth.

I'm pretty sure it's the second the OP is referring to here, as if you blow past this buffer size you can hit a performance cliff, and methods to optimise it's use (such as rendering tiles of multiple passes instead of doing each pass on the full screen view separately) doesn't really make any difference to immediate renderers, so is something "new" developers need to take into account for deferred tiler architectures.
That's some good speculation, and mostly what I would suspect as well. But actual data would be a lot better.
However this has happened, this is a very significant loss for the Russian Black Sea Fleet :

"Think of Moskva as a 12,500-ton, 612-foot mobile missile battery with nearly 500 people aboard. She packs enough anti-ship missiles to wipe out the entire Ukrainian navy and enough air-defense missiles to swat away any conceivable aerial attack on the Black Sea Fleet’s amphibious flotilla."

Yes computer programmers will be needed. The bureau of labor statistics (BLS) claims that computer programmers jobs are expected to grow fastest amongst most jobs in the US. It's probably the best ROI for a degree if you can learn the tech and math. You can even 'break info's, the field by being self taught. www.theodinproject.com and www.freecodecamp.org; pick one. You might try WGU.edu as well if you want a degree and can learn on your own fairly well. Computer science, like all things in academia, is somewhat saturated and very competitive. Don't go into academia if you want money. Yes it is a viable field. Will programming salaries stay this high? Probably? It's hard to tell. Best of luck.
Republicans are happy to reduce emissions as long as the energy is not more expensive, while Democrats are willing to allows prices to rise to accomplish that goal.

This has second order effects: Republicans will say if your new energy source is cheaper, people will automatically use it, no need for government to do anything. While Democrats want the government to mandate it, because that's the only way it will work if it's more expensive.

You might also consider if I've reversed 1st order and 2nd order here, that's up to you to decide.
I've written many scripts and programs to make my life easier (and just for fun, really). Here are a few of my most used programs:
- A service that constantly checks for freelancing/contract jobs that meet my list of criteria, then sends a desktop+phone push notifications for me to take a deeper look.
- An automatic backup service that uses Borg and triggers when I connect my external hard drive to my computer. It handles all kinds of failures and knows how to organize my stuff too.
- A savings and spending tracking and reporting dashboard, because I just couldn't find one that "clicks" with me.

I think most of my programs are just automating things I use regularly, but isn't that the point of software, really?

Even a biased coin will flip independently, which is all you need for it to be a fallacy.

If you flip a coin a thousand times that you aren't sure is biased and it comes out heads each time, you might reasonably decide it is probably a two-headed coin and update your expectation to a ~100% chance of heads.

But that's the opposite of the gambler's fallacy, which would think that after a thousand heads it's practically guaranteed to come up tails the next time.

So which is it- is the string of heads evidence of bias (you should expect more heads) or is the gambler's fallacy true (you should expect more tails)?
They had backup restore process.

The trouble was the restore would set back everyone’s data to that point in time, whereas only some customers data was impacted.
EVE Online is a bit like this.

There's a limited amount of building that players can do, but some things like space stations and large ships can take dozens-hundreds of players to create and maintain, and battles over them can span days-weeks.

It comes with downsides. Even mid-range ships are expensive enough that their loss will sting low-key players, and nowhere is truly safe. It's also possible to trade game currency to offset the monthly subscription costs, so well-off players can offset their losses with cash.
I didn't go the voice route because I'd read stories about people messing up their vocal chords that way—but it's something that could be looked into more closely for sure.

(This was also 2006 - 2012; the voice packages I tried then were rough, surely improved now. Then again, my RSI issues area nearly absent now :)
The way he discusses performance analysis in his YouTube video also does not inspire great confidence in his technical or analytical abilities I’m sorry to say.
Actually, this reads like someone who watches Marvel movies over and over for thousands of hours.

Games to me are like books. I play them once, and move on. Occasionally I find a great game, and after a few years I might pick it back up and re-play it.
