Surely, at some point in the near future, they'll be producing solar panels using solar energy?
There's a very fine line between Just In Time and Just Too Late. We advocate for Just In Case inventory, which is much more resilient.
Thanks. That might be a privacy issue, especially if the requester is from the EU
When the end user asks a question, is it sent to OpenAI? Or is this an LLM you built yourself?
Re:Julia 1.9 Highlights on Thursday May 11, 2023 @06:34AM (#35900253)
We run Julia code in production. These are compute-heavy services called by other parts of the app. Version upgrades are normally easy. Upgrade, run the unit tests, build the Docker images and deploy to K8s. Maybe we've been lucky, but since 1.3 we've never had big issues with version upgrades.

We use Rails's built-in i18n. So this should work, as we could just send in the translated strings.
Congrats on launching! This looks really cool. Any plans for i18n?

Because when the browser un-gzips it, it takes a lot more memory than the minified version. And everyone seems to complain about browser bloat.

We experience the same kind of thing to assembla.com. It often times out. Quite frustrating when in the middle of development.

I'm in Johannesburg, and my ping to facebook.com is 310ms. The thing is everyone seems to be used to the lag, so there isn't any complaints.

Re:Android 5.0 Lollipop reviewed on Thursday November 13, 2014 @02:37AM (#8600374)
I recently upgraded my Note 2 to a Note 4. One of the first things it asks when you first switch on the phone, is to log into your Google Account. After that it asked a couple more questions. By the time the install wizard was done, most of my phone had been restored: Apps Contacts (including favourites) Emails (they live in the cloud) Photos Music Even things like WiFi passwords, preferred hotspots, etc.

I don't even think about backing up and restoring my Android device. It all just works.

I can only give you anecdotal evidence on two Linodes we use:

Re:Test your server for the Heartbleed bug on Wednesday April 09, 2014 @12:07AM (#7557601)
Excellent! That did the trick. It was nginx and percona that also had to be restarted.
Re:Test your server for the Heartbleed bug on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @03:37AM (#7551940)
I have a bunch of servers on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Did the test. Came back as vulnerable. Then did an apt-get upgrade, which upgraded a bunch of SSL services. Did the test again. Still vulnerable.

What else should I do?

Re:Show HN: A Dashboard for External Monitors on Tuesday October 15, 2013 @02:16AM (#6551774)
Four screens for me. The left two 24" screens are connected to a Linux Mint box. That far left has a browser with developer tools. The next one has a full-screen vim session. The right two are connected to a MBP. The left 24" has terminals (ssh'ed into the linux box) for Rails console, MySql and Rails log running in real time. The laptop's built-in screen is the far right, with everything from Assembla to email to Skype, etc. Here's a typical screen-shot of how I work: http://i.imgur.com/UVOfAan.jpg As others have said, I can also do with more screens. At the moment both the Linux box and the Mac has 3-4 virtual desktops each.
