As I understand it, this second complaint is not against the original company, but against the government authority that handled his case.

They have price limits, but I think GP means volume alert limits. Someone unexpectedly bids a third of the Finnish production capacity, you call them and ask if they are sure.

There are many market participants, some of whom start trading on this information immediately. The Finnish grid is connected to the rest of Europe so a market participant could in…

You don't even need to worry about what someone can physically provide. All bids by market participants can (arguably should) be checked for extreme outliers. A bid of multiple GW …

With Zig and Rust you have to explicitly opt-out with `ReleaseFast` and `unsafe` respectively, that makes a big difference. Rust has the added safety that you cannot (to my knowled…

> Performance topped out at 111 MiB/s (931 Mbps), which is suspiciously close to 1 Gbps. That's because of overhead in TCP over IPv4. You're testing the payload throughput, not the…

Moore's law is about transistor density, not single-core performance. Even if a new generation of chips obeys the "law", there is no requirement that the designers dedicate the imp…

Intel Alder Lake delivered around a 15% improvement to single-core performance gen-on-gen so it's just you.

That is fair, I suppose, but why use a different DNS server than the default for your home network? I still think there's something fundamentally wrong with a DNS configuration tha…

Yes, it's not good. > That way any other people on his network wouldn’t have a problem, either. Given that he's setting DNS servers statically on his own clients and has working DN…

While the project is super interesting, this seems like network horror to me. Not only is something "wrong" with the network (guessing dns.msftncsi.com is blackholed), the author i…

Yes, it says so in footnote 1 in the article. It's also not the benchmarked code so it doesn't really matter.

I believe this is the reply in question: https://twitter.com/colinmbrandt/status/1409577979731058699 See for example: https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless..…

File access should, by its very nature, be asynchronous. If you're only introducing asynchronicity to support Flatpak portals, the original code was flawed. You could also argue th…

A lot of ISP routers have the option to disable everything except the modem, often called "bridge mode". Avoids double NAT.

As a human-readable configuration language, YAML probably beats JSON and XML, but the implicit typing rules in the spec make it horrible to work with. I've written a lot of YAML fo…

But if you write defensively, like the post suggests, you won't be surprised by bad library writers.

That much is obvious. The blog post has an example of something that appears to be non-breaking (at least it would be in many other languages), but actually does break things. Both…

That is not a realistic scenario. Firstly, there's no waking up to find your server is unresponsive. It's part of the deal when you sign up. Secondly, public IPs are always an opti…

CGNAT is standard for all smaller ISPs in Denmark. I'm not sure if it's mainly to stay competitive or due to limited supply, but they offer public IPv4 addresses upon request, some…

> My eyes don't react well to IPS, for some reason In what way? If it's just discomfort using it for long periods of time, there's a 95% chance, you need to turn on the lights in y…

Modern high refresh rate displays (100/120/144 Hz) come in VA and IPS flavors and good ones are factory calibrated to UltraSharp levels as well. 2560x1440 monitors are the sweet sp…

It is probably not a typo, they are aware of the difference. Just read their support page. [0] > Unless otherwise stated, TUXEDO always uses ISO standard keyboards. Other standards…
