I wish things were as easy as they were with X11. Being able to ssh into a box and “export DISPLAY=192.168.0.7:0.0” then start an app and have it show up locally is just magical.

Sheffield in the UK has tram trains - it was the first such implementation in the UK, and runs on national rail lines as part of the journey to Rotherham.

Any website that hijacks scrolling can get in the sea.

You didn’t even need to do that. Just needed an /etc/hosts entry for the domain.

A colleague created a banner ad that was an image that had the text “told you I could do this mate!” and targeted an individual to prove a point.

The general public have no idea how much ad providers and data brokers know about them.

The answer is shareholders.

Building a solar-only grid is hard. People don't realise that it's a huge challenge kepping the whole grid synced at 50/60Hz when there's a large amount of solar being exported, never mind the entire grid.

You answered that as if you haven’t done it yet?

It uses openai.

What? Apple made changes to actually help them.

I don’t disagree. But most also don’t give a shit and then scale horizontally endlessly, and spend too much money, to deal with their crappy code.

As a dev it isn’t your problem if the company you work for just happily provisions and sucks it up.

Less cheap computers is still a thing. Entirely missing the point.

I used to love working with E10k/E15k boxes. I was a performance engineer for a telco software provider, and it was so much fun squeezing every single thing out of the big iron.

It’s a bit sad that nobody gives a shit about performance any more. They just provision more cloud hardware. I saved telcos millions upon millions in my early career. I’d jump straight into it again if a job came up, so much fun.

They’d probably need to issue a NOTAM if you wanted to do this. EMF Camp in the UK get one for their laser show.

I am well aware of setuid. I was informing the parent comment of which arg to use for the actual functionality.

Yup, screen -x

USA food is absolutely crazy. Lots of stuff that’s banned in the EU. Lots of high fructose corn syrup. If you eat out, portion sizes are off the scale. I ordered a starter salad at a restaurant once when I was over on business, and it would have fed me for the entire day! (Won’t even start on the sauces!)

Everything involving food is screwed.

Interesting. I’ve not seen that mentioned before.

That’s great, but you need a solid HA/backup and recovery strategy if you even remotely care about your data.

Was lucky enough to see them live at a small venue in Manchester in the 90s when I was at University. Epic times.

Launch platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.

Why? It’s not being released on PC at launch.

Used to work for a telco. Cell sites have battery backup. Some have generators. Any fibre repeaters also will, as do any radio based backhaul sites. The HLR/core network etc will run indefinitely due to generators & strict fuel supply contracts for said generators.

In the UK, the grid used to have to manage the load when millions of people would all put the kettle on during popular TV advertisement breaks.

It was Practical Engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOSnQM1Zu4w

Very good video. Very good channel.

England/Wales/Scotland form an island. None of that is true.

You were probably in the same place using the same IP address, and both browsed - doesn’t matter which sites you both visited, the trackers have you. You might have shown him where you were going. Ad trackers thought “I’ll serve ski ads to people that were on that IP address because somebody else looked at xyz”.
