Not sure exactly what you mean, but I run a setup where everything is mostly containers, except for HA which runs in a VM as a native install. I would prefer to run other services …

I didn't see anything with a cursory glance but are they considering allowing Eagle libraries to be used? This would be great but something I would assume that Autodesk would hate.…

The corrolary of an alarmist report is a dismissive viewpoint. Theres evidence here that FDM printers emit toxic fumes. If you want to believe it's really not so bad, fine, close y…

The author is the one "peddling" the idea that loss aversion is a phalacy but at least he seems to (ironically) recognize that his argument is in itself part of the social/argument…

Right, seems like a better way to describe this is to say "Watching sports activates the same neural pathways as playing sports".

It's disappointing that you have to take it there but you're probably not alone and Amazon/Twitch have probably considered something like this and decided against. This is incredib…

Where is that quote from? I've read Thus spoke Zarathustra and am considering which of his texts I should read next.

Enjoyable read but quite the dire ending. Of course that's the point; this essay wasn't meant to bring you happiness.

It's another Window tethered to your trackpad. Probably my cynical side talking but I don't see how this will save me much time from using Spotlight, Alfred or Launchy. And yes, I …

Completely borked on mobile (Safari); views are squished with main circuit view being impossible to make out details.

Trying to understand the cloud strategy here; does Github run on Azure, GCP or AWS?

I've just started using Signal and was surprised by how good the call quality is. For those that aren't aware, Signal calls are encrypted, so you effectively give nothing to the ce…

I too have experienced cyber-ennui, mindlessly half entering website addresses into my navbar. Cn-enter. Ha-enter. Fa-enter. Eng-enter. What am I even reading, I don't really care …

Not true -- this is substantially more portable (the GNU compiler for instance will even give you fallback instructions). I number of years ago I wrote PPU intrinsics (so not Intel…

The other attack they described ("DolphinAttack") is intriguing. I've yet to read the paper (but plan to), but the idea of Voice control being ever more present and likely extendin…

At first I assumed this was a stack ranking type "cutting the dead weight loose" move but doesn't appear to be so. The article cites "too much staff for the work" but that seems st…

Haven't seen much coverage on how this affects game consoles like the Xbox and Playstation (which use AMD CPUs). Does anyone know if they've talked about patching it and how this w…

Nope, that was possible, but the boolean operations could lead to numerical instability if you didn't align your brushes to the grid at a reasonable granularity, which could still …

Different unit I believe but perhaps same customer service dept. Either way, isn't their mobile division now owned by Google? https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/21/16343342/google-htc…

I did something similar a few years back, except instead of Lava lamps, I used a Geiger counter module connected to an Arduino (scrap from a project I was working on to make someth…

It works quite well (at least on me). Responses usually go from "well, I was already feeling like one of those so might as well get some points" to "why would I want a Frappachino …

Sid (and others) did much the same thing that F2P games do now; make the odds 'flexible' using accumulators, counters and other tricks. For example, the odds displayed may be 66% c…

So with most companies employing an open floor plan isn't there a tremendous amount of audio overlap. Are all the devices linked and Alexa now smart enough to differentiate between…

As a huge fan of Neal Stephenson I found Seveneves to be one of his worst books. Cryptonomicon, Diamond Age, Snow Crash; some of my favorite books so the length of the book has not…

Not sure how I feel about the premium model's name. Is it pronounced as in the letter 'X' or ten/10? I'm guessing ten, as in the 10th anniversary edition iPhone (which will certain…
