We departed around 30-45 min late from Basel sbb (in Switzerland) in a night train that goes through Germany. They told us about the communication issues but what surprised me is t…

That's something I did for small medium size data analysis (300Gb of csv). The reported size was around 800gb with indexes iirc and it fitted on a 512gb SSD. It compresses the inde…

You probably are compared to your baseline self (another comment goes more extensively on this subject) but maybe you have enough driving skills and common sense to minimize the ri…

Do you make SoMs for a reseller by any chance ? I'm looking at the newest versal chips from Xilinx/AMD for a new design and buying a SoM & designing our carrier board could fit the…

I don't often post here (I forgot to check the guidelines), should I have left the original title "(bcachefs) Trouble in the kernel" ? While the article that follows is well writte…

We only have the point of view of becachefs main developer here of course, but some things regarding some kernel developer and the CoC committee seem to be really concerning.

I had the chance to visit the new datacenter of my college and on the server exhaust side there is a radiator as tall as the rack with cold water in it. All the pipes are under the…

To put you in prison if they find by some mean you did. The mean could be a 5$ wrench, hacking into your devices or plain old surveillance

The elections can be skewed with different kind of manipulation (social media, troll farms, electronic ballot hacks) and the popular candidate can still win. It's fair to assume Pu…

There is also a third approach that is the best if you have a predictible base load with surges sometimes imo: hybrid cloud You basically run the base load in your own data center …

Norway is far from being the only that has oil but to me it seems it has / had the best management of this resource. From what I understand the money doesn't go to a few people / c…

I helped someone that had to use taichi code written by a PhD student and it was a bit weird. It looks a lot like python but you have to code like you would in cuda (e.g control fl…

Similarly, I broke idrac on a Dell sever because I did not follow the proper upgrade path. I just assumed that the latest bios was good and the server happily bricked itsefl

You can inflict extreme pain on someone by just talking without raising a finger nor your voice. Especially if this person cares about you. It can be voluntary or not but dismissin…

If you don't mind french, the project of this class that introduces OO programming was really great: https://cs108.epfl.ch/archive/18/archive.html It guides you through making a Ga…

I think it's a similar situation as if you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail. You can probably find a solution with what you already now (as a junior programmer) as m…

I've had the misfortune of participating in a large-isch LabVIEW project and it looks similar. Vcs integration and merge were also a big pain so most of the development was done on…

Most map providers include some fake roads to fingerprint their map and Google probably does something similar for the businesses on Gmaps, so if they scraped the data it would be …

I think the main advantage of LabVIEW is not the language but the hardware it runs on. While it is ungodly expensive it's very reliable in a wide range of temperature & vibration. …

Gdrive the same "issue". I think it's on purpose to avoid files that seems to have exactly the same name. This can cause user confusion

The author didn't consider than Jack may have committed suicide by heroin. Considering the rest of his analysis about how grim his life was with no hope of it getting better I thin…

The zfsonlinux developers complained a while ago that some API they were using became GPL only and I think they had to write a wrapper in GPL to get around it. I'm on mobile so I c…

The manufacturer did and put it in the datasheet of the CPU
