My condolences. I read that other hacker news post (was it a couple months back) from the (ex?) engineer...

Now that you know, can you conceptualize reasons why each pattern might be a correct preference? Among those reasons, which would you prefer as a system? ^^^ THAT is how an Intervi…

Presently it seems to be unlikely to find an inexpensive ( I settled for a MikroTik model when replacing my mom's router. It almost fits the criteria. I can even port forward via S…

I think the entire point is so that many with devices that will never see updates can still continue to use those devices.

Real mayo is an emulsion of eggs and oil. Miracle Whip? What's the sugar content on that label and the other ingredients. Is this even sold as food like thing or is it more of a ca…

Take a bread that makes a good toast (to you). Take a cheese that is soft, mellow (unless you really love pungent) and melts well under heat. Combine such that the bread ends up pe…

Ask, what is the function of grammar in language? I would argue two major functions. Forcing an encoder to marshal ideas into a coherent structure. Preserving the integrity of that…

That's what I don't understand about the lack of building more power plants. Of all types. Yes, people should make efforts to not waste electricity (use more effective lights, etc)…

DC is super weird that way... The actual velocity of an electron down that line is, offhand, extremely slow compared to the speed of light. Think of DC more like you're trying to p…

This sounds a lot like the firewall technique of port knocking. Poke this thing to enable a ruleset, then another thing in that state for a different ruleset, etc.

I feel this article's premise too much. That's exactly the sort of clock I wanted to get my mom as a gift. Why is it so dang impossible to find a not trash simple LED clock that's …

The worst part of that is, at least the only MUD/MUCK engine I ever glanced at the source code for; those primitives were actually still script calls to blocks of C functions. Mode…

Thank you, I was wondering why the need for paint rather than side polishing and the added knowledge that this blend of Steel rusts would ruin that for the non-contact surfaces. Pa…

What does bedrock consider 'modification'? E.G. cutting trees / plants? How about mining? I imagine 'forgetting' softly touched chunks could be a notable benefit.

I buy the DC barrel jacks, those I've had inordinate problems on the inside of devices as they wear out but never on the power plug itself. VGA connectors? I've bent the shield on …

I'm not entirely convinced it is a myth, but the practical effect surely is. I do suspect that over insanely long periods an otherwise undisturbed physical object would flow-sag at…

At scale that is never going to happen. Stop even thinking of conservation, start thinking of how to produce the desired effects using alternate sources and then apply regulation t…

The nightmare is not outgrowing the child version of 'how to morality'. It's moving past it without reaching the enlightenment of being moral because it's the best large scale and …

Not even for the OS itself, but for the freaking wifi send / receive windows...

The model for DLC that's present, carried as patch updates, but unlocked for an additional fee annoys me. However, allow me to ignore my opinion for a moment and play the Devils Ad…

If steam ever goes up in smoke, there will be infinite justification to never trust download only ever again.

I have on at least two occasions forgotten my phone in my car at highly inconvenient times... One of which was just before a flight, for a vacation. I was amazed it had any battery…

The natural unit of measure for integrated circuits is a power of 2 since that's what the systems operate in. It's so natural that early 9 and 36 bit architectures were squeezed in…

Those sucked so hard, were extremely finicky to plug in, and I was in constant terror of breaking it. Even the popout jack things were horrific in that respect. I'm 1000% for wired…
