I have been burnt by Dropbox in the past so now use Syncthing between my desktop, laptop, and a private remote server with file versioning turned on. Trivial to global ignore node_modules, and not giving data to a third party.

It’s saved me on several occasions.

I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.

(Guessing JS / TS) I look after a moderately sized app, and still find console.log() useful sometimes. They are all protected by a Boolean, so we have authLog && console.log('something about auth') and the bools are all set in one global file. So turning debug logging on and off is very simple.

The best thing is that when it’s off, the bundler strips all the console log lines from the source, so they’re not even there-but-inactive in production.

I honestly can’t remember the details, but I followed an Arch guide somewhere (probably the wiki). It definitely prompts me for passphrase on boot.

When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we’d drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn’t matter. Until they went into production…

That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.

But you get the joke faster now.

Btrfs with pre and post pacman-triggered snapshots. Only had to use it once, but it was very smooth.

That mb appears to have 8 channel audio on the backplane (7.1) and maybe another stereo header for the front panel headphones? That would make 10 channels in total which fits…

Interesting. Is the orange line on the board separating the audio section from the rest?

You’re probably right—I searched for ‘20 mosfets in parallel’ or something like that and it came up near the top. But I didn’t read the whole thing.

I guess there’s got to be some reason for using so many though?

My gut feeling is they didn’t put 20 there in case you scraped one off. But likely the others will have enough leeway to cover for it. If the power rail gets stressed enough, it might well fail sooner than it would have.

From the TI briefing note:

Paralleling power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is a common wayto reduce conduction losses and spread power dissipation over multiple devices to limit the maximum junction temperature.

It would also provide redundancy in case of a failure—if you had only one, and it failed (or was scraped off by an over-enthusiastic GPU installation), you would probably not be going to space today.

I think I covered this the last time you posted, but swearing isn’t a sign of maturity. It’s generally a sign of limited vocabulary.

You may need to reconsider this view. One example (there are others):

So I’m normally a command line fan and have used git there. But I’m also using sublimerge and honestly I find it fantastic for untangling a bunch of changes that need to be in several commits; being able to quickly scroll through all the changed files, expand & collapse the diffs, select files, hunks, and lines directly in the gui for staging, etc. I can’t see that being any faster / easier on the command line.

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code

Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.

But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft’s antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft’s bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator’s 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape’s Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.

Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.
