I noticed an occasional issue with Firefox 94.0.1. I don't have an adblocker enabled for this site, and my only plugin is my password manager. I grabbed some debug logs; In this case I noticed that the ajax request for a post like appeared to use an http:// endpoint instead of https:// (in...

I've kept a few of my old CPUs: C64 & Amiga 500 Intel 8086 (4.77MHz?) Intel 286 12MHz 386-DX16 (I coulda swore I had an SX without the math co-processor...) Cyrix 486 clone ($200 special from compgeeks) AMD 5x86 Pentium clone Seemed to have misplaced my 2x Celeron 400's from my old BP6 A couple...

If you add a dab of PL Premium (or other polyurethane construction adhesive) to each joint, the connections will be stronger than the wood itself.

I received the replacement card today - so far so good! EVGA has great RMA service, IMO. 8 days from identifying a likely defective card to receiving a replacement card. Hopefully this one survives the night... :)

Good suggestion, J Macker but I don't currently have a compatible desktop available for testing... EVGA support is great - I opened a ticket last night, and they already helped set up an RMA this afternoon, with free shipping since the issue occurred within 30 days of purchase. I was just...

I think I've already tried most of the standard steps & I just opened a ticket with EVGA, but I figured I'd see if any of you gurus have any ideas. Last week, my turn came up in the EVGA queue for an RTX 3070 XC3! I installed it in my system last night, and it worked great! I spent ~90 minutes...

Examining the quality of the solder probably isn't the most conclusive way to age a component, but I thought comparing with lead-free solder & 30-year-old lead solder might be interesting. (seems like it could be original to me)

hmmm..

About a year ago, I downsized one of our Seattle colo installations and had to dispose of 4x 45u racks (~5 years old). I had an ad on craigslist for a couple weeks ($20 each, to weed out flakey buyers). I even emailed all the local PC recyclers, offered to deliver it, etc. Nobody wanted them -...

IntelliJ is one of the most popular Java IDEs. Some devs are probably still using Eclipse as well. Check out the docs for both, search for some reviews, install the trials, and see which one meets your needs. Tomcat is one of the most popular Java web app servers; Intellij allows easy...

We don't have dedicated administrators in the Steam team; instead there are currently ~25 devs, and we rotate carrying the pager for a week at a time. (so, the inverse of your rotation interval :p). Pager holder responsibilities for the week includes integrating code changes from the previous...

Your value to many businesses is limited by your decisions about what aspects of (data) engineering you're willing to invest in. You've never used left or right outer joins, so I have no confidence that your understanding of the IO characteristics of either is accurate. Without having used...

What's an outer join? Provide a few use cases. What are the IO subsystem performance characteristics of this type of join? For your self-test, don't use google. Since this is a forum, there's no need to post the answer since good definitions can be found trivially with 5 seconds of...

http://www.redditgifts.com/ is a django site. I can't tell you if Python was the best language for this site.

Slightly off-topic, but... wut? How does consolidating debt result in a debt free Red Squirrel? (PM me a link if you want to take this to soapbox or genmay and explain it to me). And, to keep this on-topic: 850 GHz (1.7 THz logical) and ~640lbs. Or ~1.3 GHz per pound, for those of...

Why do you want to select distinct records? Do you want to sample data or get a complete set of unique records based on a certain set of keys? You can: SELECT * FROM YourTable ORDER BY NEWID(); which will assign a new random GUID to all 4.5M records, and sort by this new random key. You...

Learn the specification you're using. e.g., http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-date-stds and http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/ Organize your source to minimize bugs Use an IDE or text editor to assist with above Try a validator if you get stuck. They certainly aren't perfect or comprehensive, but can...

Is the ambiguity in the follow-up question, or your original statement?

Some day, when you're an IT manager and making fat stacks, do you think that a general understanding of "explicit permissions" will be useful? What will you do when "your" DBA/programmer/Exchange Admin/SAN Engineer is telling you that he/she intends to use a shared user account? And this...

Or worse, an alternate account of a co-worker.

Maintenance ran a little longer than expected this morning. I blame the buffer pool.

Transactional replication? Try running SQL Server Profiler on the subscriber (use a text filter for '124.' or just capture all transactions and search for this value afterwards - then attempt to resume replication). This might give you an idea of which table to look at. If replication is...

Would you offer a discount if the OP agrees to a retainer agreement? :cool:

As everyone keeps mentioning, more specific details will be helpful. Do the data points change over time? How often is the same distance between points calculated? Storing the data in a caching server would result in faster reads than storing it in SQL server, but (since it's a caching...

Reliable modular PSUs with a convenient carrying case for all the extra cables.

What rdbms? What sorta query volume, number of users, expected rate of feature growth, etc? You could store the points, create spatial indexes and calculate the distance from your query: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb964712.aspx...

Let's start with your code. Does this code do what it is supposed to? What are your test cases? There are bugs... Once those are fixed, how can you make this code snippet do less work / use less CPU? (minor revisions, not a rewrite)

Nice! Which hats/items?

What? 5.4 Alpha3 was recently released. PHP 6 has been postponed (probably permanently), largely due to perf/memory issues with their approach to adding Unicode support everywhere (engine, extensions, api). That doesn't mean there won't be a new PHP 6 (or PHP 7) in the future. Here's the...

That's incorrect; The browser available from the Steam overlay works with most DirectX and OpenGL application launched from Steam (including non-Steamworks titles and even non-Steam titles; Games -> "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library") It's useful for consulting game wiki's and checking...

Sounds like it's working now, right?

I didn't say it's bad; However, after answering your original question, I did provide a concrete example where a meaningful ID is a much better choice than an autoincrement id. Imagine returning 1,000,000 records from the hypothetical Employee table with an autoincrement id; With a simple...
