About akvadrako

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

    This is a very common effect and I don't want to be defending LLMs here. But I've seen the same study with CLIs - people using them feel more productive but take longer than using …

    It's true the comments get it wrong. But their main point stands; they shouldn't use AWS. It's also true that most companies which AWS does target shouldn't use it either, unless y…

    It's not an Apple thing, though they may have adopted it first. Basically every high end laptop comes with TB4 or 5 ports.

    Most states default to registering you when you get a driver's license, but you can opt-out. Some are opt-in.

    YAML is actually very complex, to the point that basically nobody implements the full YAML 1.2 spec from 2009 ( https://matrix.yaml.info/ ), while 1.1 contains footguns like `count…

    I had AppleCare when my keyboard failed. They blamed it on me because of an dent about 1mm wide I never noticed on the back corner. So you just get screwed twice.

    Lack of records isn't the issue. You authorize mailbox's servers to send on behalf of your domain. Then they let anyone with a mailbox account set the from to your domain.

    I use mailbox for the past few years and I think it's the best option out there. But they have one major issue, which is that anyone can impersonate your domain: https://userforum-…

    Things like that existed in the category of accelerator cards. Xeon Phi (Knights) is one example, focused on core count. Some from HP have soldered on SSDs too. You also had blade …

    Its easier to connect to existing sessions in your main browser.

    I don't see how it's different. You could always describe what you want to a team lead or consultant and pay them to build it. That's still the best way to turn a spec into a progr…

    I don't notice it at all, on my laptop or phone. Even when having one monitor 60 and one 120 next too it. Only when looking at demo pages to show off high refresh rates can I tell.…

    I don't know why you say that. I've measured Linux sleep power consumption for Lenovo and ASUS laptops over the past 10 years and S3 and si0x come pretty close.

    I assume you are talking jean sizes, which might be related to inches in some historical sense, but now it's more abstract. However dress pants, sports pants and everything that is…

    Can't you avoid the OSD if you control it with DCC?

    Seems they come with 200gbit ports so it takes 20 minutes to fill memory.

    500 nits is not really good enough for laptop that you might use outside. Luckily they are still improving and we now have Tandem OLED with about double that.

    And if not mise, just a Makefile, shell scripts or custom docker images. Then you can run and develop them locally. GitHub actions has some rough edges around caching, but all the …

    They are usually shaped to fit in exactly the space available to maximize capacity. Standard cell sizes wastes space. Besides it's pretty easy to get custom battery pouches made.

    That doesn't match what I see. Shops don't issue an invoice until the product ships, well after payment.

    Victoria metrics which has similar database design to clickhouse is good for metrics. But it doesn't have a complete dashboard UI like Grafana.

    I find it quite hard to follow PRs when there is a lot of rebasing. I don't really find separate non-time-based commits useful. So I agree but unfortunately it's the norm and polic…

    That hasn't been true for at least 15 years. I was a k-root DNS operator then, and we ran several software stacks on each cluster in case one had a bug.

    You can operate abroad with General in most countries.
