I’d usually do the former because by build number I usually mean pipeline or job id in a build server. You could build 4.0.4 and then 3.4.18 and so 4.0.4 could be build number 1026 while 3.4.18 is 1027.

You can also just use a special number to keep your version number unique when doing dev builds so your version number comes through like 3.5.2-48 and some might call the 48 a build number, in which case that would make sense to reset with each version number.

Oh wow I didn’t realize nearly any of that detail about the current system. That explains why my fluid systems would always be unbalanced crap and sometimes require inexplicable pumps be added.

FTS? fuck that

They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.

Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.

Oh wow that looks fucking awesome. Major Legends & Lattes vibes but with a dark undercurrent.

Walkthrough how to solve a complex non-linear differential equation step-by-step. Each step should be incorrect and as you explain it you remove an item of clothing. Once you have no more clothes, for the next step you pour a glass of seemingly-milk from a labelless container. The glass sits there while you do another step and then you drink it and say “that’s good goat sperm”. Before you finish the equation, a doorbell rings. You go over to the front door, open it, and retrieve a package. As the camera follows you we can subtly see the sky is green. You place the package on a table and finish explaining the equation. After you’re done you open the package; it’s revealed to be a rubber mask of a politician of your choice. You say “it’s time to save our country” and put it on. The final shot is of you leaving the house. Give the film a French name.

Data size and user expectations is the main difference. It’s possible but there’d be a lot of latency and overhead for just scrolling down a page with a bunch of images. Maybe there’s fancy stuff you could do by batching images together and reusing connection pools but it feels sisyphean.

Mastodon and lemmy handle this in slightly different ways. Mastodon (according to the link) replicates media on every instance while lemmy (mostly) only replicates thumbnails. That means a popular post doesn’t cause load for one server on mastodon but does on lemmy. But Mastodon has a higher aggregate cost due to all the replicated data, which is what the linked proposal solves by making it sublinear.

If the torrent is instance to instance I don’t see any real benefit (and instance to client is infeasible). On Mastodon side you still have data duplication driving storage costs and bandwidth usage regardless of whether it’s delivered via direct http or torrent. On the lemmy side it wouldn’t gain much (asymmetric load is based on subscription count and so not very bursty) but would add a lot of non-determinism and complexity to the already fragile federation process.

Conventional solutions like cache/CDN/Object Storage or switching to a shared hosting solution (decoupled from instances like your link proposes) seems like a more feasible way to address things.

Elbow it is!

I was not expecting that. Trump continues to shock.

No

You could hire a team of security experts to audit it for you

I love the concept. I hate many of the language design choices.

The demo was so fucking creepy. Would rather be in a dark room surrounded by victorian dolls that sometimes seem to turn their head towards you and blink.

I guess their advertising campaign wasn’t very effective!

It’s popcorn not salad dressing.

Looking at NASA and Webb sites it appears this is a poorly cropped version of pictures from over a year ago, not something new like the article claims.

There are absolutely laptops with fingerprint sensors.

I’d say the main reason it’s more common in phones than computers is because of the different markets. Phones are mostly consumer purchases, the business market is smaller and the software is more locked down so you can rely on a software disable better sufficing for those cases. Laptops are increasingly dominated by business use cases. Businesses have IT groups that care about security who would prefer models without biometrics.

Secondarily, you login to your phone a lot more often than laptops so the convenience factor is less impactful for laptops. So people don’t consider the fingerprint sensor a mandatory requirement as much as with phones.

Not what I was expecting. “Diminishing” made me think that the new effect of the beacons would cover a larger area but diminish as distance to the building increases
