I think it's worth correcting the record here because drone warfare is pretty different from what actually happened. What they identified and shot down was a mylar party balloon. h…

I feel that not only should QA staff outnumber developers, but QA staff should have access to development time to design and improve QA tooling. If you're doing an OS right, the qu…

When you look at the scale of the reports, you find they are much lower than Azure's. seeing a bunch of 24-hour sparkline type graphs next to each other can make it look like they …

The scale of the Starlink constellation is really not what people expect when they think of satellites. To get a sense for just how many of these have already been launched, check …

It would cost a fortune in API calls, so it's not practical for anyone except internally at corporate.

Thank you for taking a pay cut to do what you do, I'm so glad your channels exist. Also please remember to take vacations! (trade shows don't count)

I'm unclear about a specific sensor, but it looks like the format you want to decode would be "Data Matrix ECC 200" https://forum.digikey.com/t/digikey-product-labels-decoding-... …

If only that were true

I appreciate by default any attempt to make a full accounting of the costs involved in energy transmission and storage. Many of these grid & battery costs are abstracted away from …

Legal concerns aside, aren't Youtube captions primarily AI-generated in the first place? I know some authors meticulously hand-craft their captions but that can't be the case for t…

The database is not encrypted while the system is running. Microsoft's claim that it's encrypted is due to the machine being encrypted at rest with Bitlocker. The databases are pla…

This is a 1 year old post with unsubstantiated/anecdotal claims. Plausibly true but insufficient evidence to conclude it's factual.

Some mice will have buttons that toggle lighting or tracking speed, I have a feeling these are the kinds of buttons that might not work with the app. Because they are just local bu…

I think parking lots are the ideal place for large scale solar. They have already destroyed the local environment, and anything shading black asphalt will be an improvement for loc…

Remember when Comcast throttled Netflix to ISDN speeds because... hey... no net neutrality? Those were good times. Comcast's perspective was that Netflix was using "their pipes" fo…

It's already actively in use to edit and clean up podcast recordings. This use case is basically identical to the malicious case, it's all about who's doing it and what their inten…

The panels themselves are squares fit into triangular frames. But there is a lot of empty space on the dish installation and this would absolutely use more total panel area. See pr…

I was hoping this was going to be a new technology making these springs obsolete.

This reminded me of Blindsight as well. The fact that intelligence does not have to present in a way that's familiar to us is important to keep in mind. Thank you for bringing up C…

Webhooks' only dependencies are all common standards. They are platform agnostic and have a low barrier to entry. The reliability challenges are going to similar to any other self-…

It's worth pointing out that Maxim Dounin is, by himself, likely critical mass for Nginx. Since he started in 2011 he is by far the most active contributor to the codebase.

Where I am, the older cars are about as likely to blind others because the headlights are misaligned, and one might be pointed up like a high beam.

I suppose you want ReactOS https://reactos.org/

The book Seveneves has a lot of vivid descriptions of futuristic orbital mechanics solutions. It's a bit of a heavy read emotionally but it's very rare to find hard sci-fi of that …
