Just chiming in here, but at least two of the generations of cards there are from ~2005-2008 and we old farts definitely bought (or convinced our parents to buy) things from Newegg…

In recent days, saboteurs from Russia have been identified through shared NATO intelligence as behind attacks across Europe. [0]: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/26/…

I’m not an expert in the bio/chem side or really anything to do with mushrooms/fungi, but some families of mushrooms have commonly associated toxins. None of the below should be co…

Spore prints can be a huge help in identifying also! There are some mushrooms that have very few known lookalikes (varies by geo/region), which have a handful of strong identifying…

I'm a member of the Illinois Mycological Association, where we do occasional surveys accompanied by biologists. They frequently take back tens of items for DNA sequencing. If you'r…

Better known colloquially as software bloat!

That’s by design; those corporations can purchase an enterprise license - and this is commonly the route desired!

Slices are structures that hold a pointer to the array, a length, and a capacity! So, when you slice a slice, if you perform an array operation like “append” while there is existin…

Great write-up; their minimum would be O(DNS_SWAP + REPLICATION_LAG), though, so ~11s, if DMS 10s delay holds!

Hey, neat - clicked around a little bit! Bug report: the contact page had some comments related to an article that definitely weren't related to the contact page.

I’m anti-spam myself, but I wouldn’t draw that conclusion from this post. It’s a post that links to a blog post on the YC primary domain site (that is, their company site), and we …

Those patches are unlikely to be officially supported, though. I really support this mode of monetization, because community/free users get something, well, free, while others get …

Super fun! Some feedback on stability: Crashed on iPhone XS Max, iOS 17.4 Firefox and safari We were able to play the Garden round through to the end on an android tablet (Firefox)…

That’s an optimization that can be added later, with some nuance. IIRC Go had a similar situation for years; I remember setting GO_MAX_PROCS in my init() or main()!

WELL, considering the time delay in provisioning on Hetzner/OVH, maybe Equinix Metal would work better? But, if you're provisioning + maybe running some configuration, and speed is…

They understood and accepted the risks in that case - as an acceptable trade-off, which is different from the introduction of chemicals or compounds that aren’t well understood.

Oh yeah, grants are great, but a completely different beast!

My understanding is that those scenarios are the exception, and finding obscure contracts that have gone undiscovered isn’t really an untapped fount of free, missed, opportunity. T…

While that may be true if contractors/competitors for contracts were generally unaware of the contract until posting, that’s usually not the reality. A lot of government contractin…

I believe the parent comment was talking more on the actualities during implementation vs. theoretical. Turns out, greed is a powerful driver; and, humans are fully capable of self…

I’m a fan of the Sustainable Use license [0] for this reason, for some projects! [0]: https://docs.n8n.io/choose-n8n/faircode-license/

I've got the audio book but never gave it a fair shot, maybe the text is what I need. Will grab it from the library!

There is tremendous value in the software, and it probably took quite a bit of time to add that in. Just this week we saw a pretty high-visibility discussion about the difficulties…

Put a few thousand more words to pad, and I’d read that book!
