what? I did factory resets on multiple android phones and EVERYTHING gets wiped even Google accounts, does not ask for anything just setup like new.
Re:Choosing the Right Wall Anchors on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @04:55AM (#28770713)
Depending on the walls, generally at least in my country walls are made of clay bricks, so any hammer drill will work, but if you want to drill too close to the ceiling, or the ceiling you will need something better.

I ended up buying a rotary hammer because of this, holes on the floor (doorstoppers), ceiling, or walls right close to the ceiling was impossible with the cheap hammer drill, along with a good SDS+ drill bit feels like butter now.

Re:More Casio Watch Mods on Tuesday September 21, 2021 @10:49AM (#28605585)
I had a F-91W for years, I still have it and it still works, but like you I moved to an automatic Seiko 5 (the smallest I could find as my wrist is quite thin), for two reasons I wanted something more good looking, and I didn't want to worry about batteries (although they last years)

This so much, also eats way too much CPU, and has no support for background blur, just a damn basic chroma.

I did install it too on my 6.1 and found the System app trying to connect to several cloudfront IPs, cant find any kind of extra info, did you find the same?

Curious StackOverflow also has a 500, could they be related?
Nope, they do have x86_64 too, I have one of those.
Re:Thoughts on the Systemd Root Exploit on Wednesday January 25, 2017 @05:04AM (#13480152)
I do have polkit installed, there is an use flag "systemd" that I have disabled and so far I had no problems, it keeps systemd away from my system, and everything works.
Re:Thoughts on the Systemd Root Exploit on Wednesday January 25, 2017 @05:02AM (#13480140)
Wait does it mean other init systems did not have dependency based boot? I have always been a Gentoo user so always used OpenRC, if that's the case it explains why I never understood why systemd was so "revolutionary".

I do find it harder to configure and understand than OpenRC, after I edit some configurations I can just restart the service and it's working, with systemd I have to run more than one command and they are not intuitive at all.

Re:Thoughts on the Systemd Root Exploit on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @06:52PM (#13476997)
As a Gentoo user I can confirm it works well without systemd, using openrc, you can use systemd on Gentoo if you want, I personally avoid it.
Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite editors / IDEs and why? on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @09:59AM (#13418036)
Since I work both on Windows and Linux here are my tools.

IntelliJ as an IDE, mainly Java/Android but I use it too for any other supported language (shell scripts, python, whatever, if there is a plugin I use it), sometimes even for some single files, since I have it open nearly all the time.

Notepad++ for any quick edits on Windows.

vim for quick Linux edits (mostly stuff that needs root)

Edit: Sometimes I need a hex editor, for that i use Bless.

Since I develop 99% on Java I would recommend anything along the lines of Spring Boot, Dropwizard or Wildfly Swarm. With Dropwizard I can't say much since I only played with it a little, on the other hand having developed projects with Spring Boot and Swarm I can say both do the job really well, both seem pretty much future proof (even though many claim JEE is dead).

Personally I would go with Swarm since I feel there is less work configuring it. With the added advantage of being used to develop in JEE Environments.

Re:Excessive load on NTP servers on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @10:16AM (#13220475)
Because it is MY source code, I don't want to send it anywhere. (Yes I do use GitHub/Bitbucket, only for public code)
Re:Excessive load on NTP servers on Tuesday December 20, 2016 @09:38AM (#13220117)
For me requiring that would be the same as kicking me off the platform.
Looks good to me here, using KDE Plasma here, and Oracle JVM.
I find it surprising that some people complain about performance, here even with two large Java projects I only get that kind of CPU % when building indexes (only after importing a project or dependency adjustments) and its only for a few minutes.

Maybe a specific Python project thing?

AWS it will continue to be then.
Re:An AWS Region is coming to France on Thursday September 29, 2016 @01:52PM (#12607311)
I don't know how it currently compares with AWS but some time ago the disk IO was a lot slower, and the prices were way higher. Does anyone know of recent comparisons?
Re:Ask HN: Is web programming a series of hacks on hacks? on Monday September 12, 2016 @06:52AM (#12478597)
Having used it for one or two projects I can say it solves some problems, but creates others, when trying to do more complex stuff it can be a pain (can't remember any specifics it was a few years ago).
Re:Stepping down as Nodevember organizer on Tuesday September 06, 2016 @06:48AM (#12434981)
Thank you so much, I am getting tired of these inclusivity activists that want to force the list of speakers to be representative of every religion, ethnicity, etc.

No I have no problems with the speakers being of any specific ethicity or whatever. The speakers at conferences should be invited by merit or because they can give a good talk about a subject relevant, not just the sake of diversity, I will not care if the speaker is a woman, man, straight or gay, if I go to a conference it is because of the theme not because it has representation of every ethnicity etc.

Re:Stepping down as Nodevember organizer on Tuesday September 06, 2016 @05:14AM (#12434575)
Can someone explain to someone who has not been following this (me) what happened in a short way, all I find are huge posts and I can't spare the time unfortunately.

Re:An alternative to fat JARs on Tuesday June 21, 2016 @11:03AM (#11946116)
If it is not open sourced yet, can you at least elaborate a little more on the inner workings?
Re:An alternative to fat JARs on Tuesday June 21, 2016 @10:59AM (#11946085)
I really like your approach, is there any code you can share on that?
