Volcanic ash is glass (the stone melts during an eruption due to the heat, then explodes into millions of splinters as clouds which lock down air travel because it melts again in the engines and destroys them) and can be found thousand of kilometers away afterean eruption (e.g. Yosemite eruption), creating a deadly environment for every animal where it's falling down.

Thank you for coming to my ~~Ted Talk~~ infodump.

It's very different from wood ash.

That's a US only problem though.

OoooooooO··on U.S.-Funded Scientist Among Three Who Fell Ill Amid Early Covid Outbreak
Those things are useless as far as I've read. Feeling of security but walk a bit faster/slower and the results change enough.
OoooooooO··on A single line of code made a 24-core server slower than a laptop (2021)
Isn't a tree just a graph that is directed and acyclic (DAG)?

So a tree is just a subtype of a graph?

OoooooooO··on Open source Diablo 1 engine – DevilutionX 1.5.0 released
No screenshots on the GitHub page? :/
OoooooooO··on DevOps Is Bullshit (2022)
Be aware that this is a german job listing.

The only european country that takes titles even more serious is Austria. So without a M.Sc. in CS or a similar M.Sc. your chances may be quite low to even get an interview. Especially since university is basically free here so many people have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in germany.

I use www.inwx.de for years. Nothing to complain.

Yeah, that costs a lot on a scale of reddit.

Discord has no threads/comments/subcomments structure. It's nearly Impossible to find old information and every discussion has 50+ messages about other topics inbetween because it's a chat, not a forum. Unuseable as a reddit replacement.

Just create an "Ask HN: " thread?

Dolphin comes to mind.

I use INWX for some years for 2 domains and can't complain about anything.
OoooooooO··on Writing a small ray tracer in Rust and Zig
You could probably do it that way in Julia.
OoooooooO··on Popular Google Play store apps are abusing permissions and committing ad fraud
Maybe automate an API key change every X hours to limit the time those apps can grab traffic?
OoooooooO··on Phoenix 1.4.0 released
Here's some benchmark for Phoenix + Digital Ocean drop - https://www.cogini.com/blog/benchmarking-phoenix-on-digital-.... But without database stuff.

"It’s my fault for the inline Markdown, really. The pages that don’t do that handle over 1k/second."

OoooooooO··on Is it time to rewrite the operating system in Rust? [slides]
Having only a small part of the code with unsafe means you only have to check only a small % of the code for UB/security holes and not the whole code base like in C.

It just limits the places shit can happen and which need to be closely reviewed which alone is a big help.

OoooooooO··on Booze, Sex, and the Dark Art of Dealmaking in China (2015)
I guess it was.

Sister prostitutes probably. Maybe not 100% legal.

OoooooooO··on Montreal Moving Day: what happens when a whole city moves house at once
What do you mean with appliances?

Dishwasher? Washing machine? Coffee maker? Sink? Stove?

OoooooooO··on A free XMPP server powered by green energy and hosted in Germany
> Common folks can use Google/DuckDuckGo and find one of the readily available scripts that already do that

We seem to have quite different views about "common people".

OoooooooO··on So Long Last /8 and Thanks For All the Allocations
They finally peer on DE-CIX?
OoooooooO··on Fast website link checker in Go
Of course it does not, for that you need a headless browser ( = Chrome Headless).

Neither Python/Go/Java/Rust/C/C++/D/Ruby/C#/F#/... nor any other language (not even Node afaik, but Puppeteer handles that) can handle Javascript rendered sites.

OoooooooO··on Mailtrain.org, self-hosted open-source newsletter app like Mailchimp
All cards in Europe have chip but CCs are mostly used here for online shopping outside of the EU and that's totally unsecure if you need to type all your CC informations to an unknown source for online orders.
OoooooooO··on Why you can’t buy a high-end graphics card at Best Buy
Nobody buys 24/7 gpus if they cost more than 10% of the original (before crypto crazy) price.

Undervolting or not, running your card 24/7 makes them worthless.

OoooooooO··on Why you can’t buy a high-end graphics card at Best Buy
Lol. The cards are not used by companies, if the crypto market crashes a lot of single people have a lot of single cards.

How do you think this people with their cards are going to do anything else with it? There does not exist a single computing power but 1.000.000 single ones and the only reason they waste electricity is because they get money for it.

OoooooooO··on Telegram Isn't for Sale
If you're self-employed the tax rate is ~70%, at least for lawyers in germany. Source: My self-employed gf.

And no, she does not earn 5 figures, 4-6k gross per month with 1 part-time employee for the bureaucracy stuff (bills, phone service, faxing, scanning etc.). With a 60 hour week.

OoooooooO··on As Discord nears 100M users, safety concerns are heard
Ericsson language + The Open Telecom Platform.

Made by a telecom company, build for telecom stuff.

Used by basically every enterprise telecom application software (e.g. Asterik).

Not that interesting if one knows the Erlang/OTP background.

OoooooooO··on What was your best passive income in 2017?
Do you use any sort of ML? I've wondered for some time now if one could train a bot with ML to trade with better results to humans due to patterns recognized with ML, so historic data = better results which fits ML quite nicely.

But it's just a shower thought so far.
