A bit unrelated, but made me remember this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995774/ The effects of fasting on the human body are... fastinating! (Sorry!)

IIRC some CPUs of the Intel Atom series already have an embedded FPGA.

My car clock went back from 2:00AM to 12:00. I was really wondering what happened.

I think it's more of a "security by obscurity" thing than anything, but if the number is really unknown except for you and the 2fa provider, that would probably be "good enough".

Maybe you could use VOIP numbers for 2FA? Many VOIP providers (i.e. voip.ms) can forward SMS to e-mail, SIP client, callback URL or an other phone number. There's a cost, but I gue…

The specification pattern can also be used to replace multiple IFs. If you look at Wikipedia, they propose a quite full-fledged and complex specification pattern, but it is possibl…

We did learn POV-Ray in high school computer class. We rendered on our faithful Sun Microsystems workstations. Good times.

Yeah, I feel the same way. What hurts is when you decide to switch to another company, which has good rep, and finally find out: it's the same. Everywhere. After the big bosses do …

Once we had a problem with Microsoft' LDAP library not handling referrals correctly on a Big Corp AD forest with domains on each sites. Real headache as we were already late for me…

It's a similar debate as when we north americans decided to switch to DTTV [1]. Many people disliked that; they had to buy a box for their old TV and it was more complicated to use…

This definition seems a bit strong for the word. If it's meant as borrowed from the french "louche", then would rather define as: > discutable, weird, questionable, shady

It seems like many substance alter empathy towards others. I remember that acetaminophen was found to reduce empathy. What other common substance would affect the jury that we don'…

Ah! Maybe that would encourage people not to make 15mb pages doing dozens of requests!

You can't possibly mad for people gaining access to knowledge. For me personally, it's the single most important thing Internet gives. But as for net neutrality? Of course I'm sad.…

Was talking with colleagues about cloudbleed and S3 problems yesterday. I don't feel like many people are actually concerned of the implication of having an internet that isn't an …

For this reason, I wouldn't be surprised if AI actually generate more work, at least for most of our lifetime. People that will supervise and correct AI errors while/after they pro…

Sad thing is that most of the web sucks on rather fast connections too. Pages being almost 5mb of data, making multiple dozens of requests for librairies and ads. Ads updating in t…

They do statistics a few times a year: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q3-2...

Depends. Some routers have multiple antennas because there are multiple transceivers inside it, and some technologies (i.e. MU-MIMO in 802.11AC) will most likely react strangely ha…
