And computer-generated code is not code? ;)

True, but do consider it is bacon, not exactly the healthiest of foods anyways.

Kids are very good at worrying about silly stuff.

They will grow out of it eventually. Most of them anyways.

Guys, guys! Read the article mentioned in the comments, it sheds light on this (and many more) feats that surround him.

Right. There definitely needs to be more than one. ;)

    Jake the dog: "Music is powerful man. It speaks to a primal pit in our brains. It makes anyone wanna get up and get their knees goin'. Gotta get 'em pumpin' pumpin' pumpin', boompa boompa boom."

    Music Hole: "Jake's right. A good song can really wrap people up in a mood, better than any words alone could."

At least show him how to use SmartTube, that will improve his experience by a lot.

You can set your TV to "dumb mode" by choosing Apps only mode or Basic TV mode (might be only available for Sony Google TVs).

You definitely want to turn "Samba Interactive TV" off.

Welcome to the wonderful world of TP-link! Enjoy your stay! :)

I still run the Burn My Windows Gnome extension on all my desktops with a short "TV Effect" activated when a windows closes. It's just perfect!

Yeah, put two of them in a cup of plain yogurt, let them sit for a short while and then stir them it - it's just perfect, not too sweet.

One could say that, yes.

One could also say that there are old people everywhere now.

+1 on the Sonicare brush

> Portable units are becoming more popular.

This is only the beginning. Soon people will realize that a mini-split install isn't that much more expensive than a portable AC, but is a lot more convenient.

Something tells me you haven't seen the new Fiat Multipla, or should I say Multiplay? The French have nothing on it, nothing! :)

Just pick whatever you local Lidl/Aldi/Kaufland has on sale, ie. https://www.lidl.de/p/tronic-balkonkraftwerk-860-wp-800-w-to...

Exactly. Why would you even want to connect your coffee machine to the network?

It can be true, but usually not for AC units, as these are quite effective at only heating/cooling the ambient air and not the walls, ceiling etc.

Regular heating can waste a lot of energy to heat the entire structure of the house, especially if you have thick walls, so it does more make sense to try and keep the temperature stable.

There are downsides though, alu wiring breaks over time when exposed to any kind of stress and the connections loosen and have to be re-checked periodically.

Good point. It was from the https://packages.debian.org/trixie/google-perftools Debian package, which points to the gperftools project - so it was the worse one I guess.

Probably the physical keyboard?

Interesting, is there an accompanying article?

We've tried tcmalloc, too. I don't remember the exact details, but we basically ended using jemalloc because it was using way less memory.

Same story with mimalloc - it usually provided a tiny bit more speed, but required more cpu and memory.

Yes, and the difference being that they did not build a huge wall between them.

Back in the day, they migrated away, only to be brought back as diesel fuel today. ;)

And finally end up with either jemalloc or possibly mimalloc. ;)

    Several metrics are actually growing exponentially.

Power consumption and water consuption are the obvious ones. What are the others?

Do you want to understand what this obsession is about? You probably need to visit Japan more.

So it's something like a gym? ;)

I read that as a statement that says something along the (nowadays very tired) line that the cloud is not magical, it's just other people's computers.

Yes, but try rsync instead of scp. Mind the slash though!

Both rsync -avz /path/to/file user@server:/another/path/to/ or rsync -avz /path/to/file/ user@server:/another/path/to/file

Will create directory named /another/path/to/file which will contain all contents of the original directory (/path/to/file/*).

Basically, if you include the trailing slash in the source path, only contents of the directory will be copied (useful when you need to rename it).

    rsync -avz path/to/old_dir/ user@server:/path/to/new_dir

If you omit the trailing slash in the source path, rsync will create the target directory for you. See man rsync for more info.
