Writing to storage is not measured in files or file sizes. You see a strong correlation between disk writes and files, but there is none. You can write data to a disk without there being any files.

There can be a 1 GB file that has had 100 TB of data written into it over the course of a year. Or you can have a 20TB file that took 1MB of disk writes to fully store on the disk.

There is no correlation between file size and amount of data written to a disk.

>>108167808
i'm pretty sure writing a sparse file into a unmarked sector would still cause all those zeros to be written, and therefore that 1 terabyte sparse file still used up a terabyte of write cycles depending on where the file was written to

I swear that every time I bought headphones in the last 5+ years, they started off being able to reach all the way to my bathroom, but the older they are the closer I have to be. The signal starts dropping slightly closer than a year ago, or the audio becomes distorted as I reach the maximum distance that used to be okay.

>>108169801
I didn't think so really in that regards. I was more concerned with mitm attacks or listeners or whatever. I'm not the best at understanding all the attack vectors, I just know I shouldn't be sending sensitive information via email seeing as I'm not a billionaire. But I might have.

>>108169897
there are ways to transmit sensitive information over an unsecured network in such a way that an attacker watching the network doesn't get enough information to read the data. namely public key cryptography, where each party generates locally their own set of keys, you exchange the public part of the key which can only encrypt data between each other, which is safe for attackers to get, then when you want to send them something secret, you encrypt the data with their public key, and send that to them. this is also safe for an attacker to get, because they only way to decrypt it is with your friends' private key, which only exists on their computer and is never sent anywhere.
such schemes have been integrated into email using tools like OpenGPG, though the downside is of course you will need to teach your contact how to set it up. using GPG will however ensure nobody can read your mail beside the intended recipient. not your ISP, not any MITM attacker, not even your email provider

>>108169897

@RequestMapping("/api/todos")

and this fetch block

await fetch('/api/todos', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ title })
});

it references this /api/todos URL. now, I'm pretty sure i'm making a request to the api URL, but is it supposed to be a link I set up on my own web server (i.e. from /var/www) or is there something else I'm not understanding?

>>108169897
the other anon's post is correct but I just wanted to point out
the reason email is unsecure is because there are many ways for other people to read it - mitm, listeners, the details don't matter, if nobody but your recipient could read it then it would be considered secure, but it's not. that's why you're not supposed to send sensitive information.
a very useful analogy is to think of email like a postcard (without an envelope). all postal workers can read it, anyone at all throughout the delivery chain, and anyone who manages to sneak a peak at in-transit mail can read it too

when you encrypt a zip file, anyone who has both the zip file and the password can read the contents, so if the contents are sensitive then the combination of the file and the password are also sensitive. it's like a locked safe with the key taped to the lid, it has the same value as the contents of the safe because the lock is effectively irrelevant

so when you send the zip file and the password together over email, anyone who snoops your email will be able to see the contents of the zip
when you send them in separate emails, it's the exact same except they'd need to read both of your emails, which is not very hard. going by the postcard analogy, a worker at your local postal office could probably very easy find and read two separate postcards you send, if they wanted to snoop on you

now one thing this CAN help with is very dumb automated tools. going back to the safe with a taped key analogy, if you're sending a parcel and the post has an automated camera tracking all parcels, it will just see a safe, and may or may not even notice the key. whereas if you didn't put it in a box it'd see the actual contents of the parcel. a very slightly smarter system might try to open the safe and not notice the key, so it's better than an unlocked box (unencrypted zip).
but an even slightly smarter system, or any human, can just open it instantly

Why don't GPU makers have a mandate to ship their own drivers with their cards? Like drivers embedded in the card itself in its firmware?

Why must OS makers write their drivers for them? This destroys competition in OS dev because any OS must support a thousand different cards that manufacturers just keep shitting out free of any liability

Because websites are garbage, webdevs are garbage, and google is garbage.
The URL is just how the path you send to the web server. It's convention, and easy for static files, for web servers to serve files in URLs that correspond to their filenames, but there's nothing stopping an "http://example.com/image.png" URL from actually serving image.png.exe for a boomer to click on, or being an actual webpage with HTML and javascript on it that your browser will display. Imgur for example for a long time made it annoying as shit to access the actual raw image, and would serve its full webpage even when you clicked on "imgur.com/123456.png" links, with ads and everything.

Now retarded webdevs have decided that since google says webp good and all goys should use it, that means they should use it, and so are serving as many images as they can as webp. It saves a tiny bit of bandwidth, fucks up the URLs and fucks up image saving for users, fucks up lossless image identification (since the same webp could be either lossy or lossless and there's no way for you to know - and obviously since websites are doing it to save bandwidth, it's probably lossy). But they don't care, google says it's good and it saves them 5% on image bandwidth.

>>108172463
>is it supposed to be a link I set up on my own web server
It is, and you set it up with the

@RequestMapping("/api/todos")

thing.

/var/www is where Apache typically looks when serving files, if you are running it as a web server. But in this case, your web server is your Java program.

>>108173121
Because nobody made laws for it and nowadays nobody thinks it's a serious enough problem to make laws for.
It's also a question of competition. If you are a hardware manufacturer, and you make hardware with zero drivers, nobody will use your hardware at first. If you are betting on other people writing drivers for your hardware, it's risky, but hey there's no reason you should be legally forbidden from selling this driverless product. And if nobody bothers writing drivers for you, it's your loss and your hardware is useless.
In reality they will usually write drivers for as many OSes as they want to make their market, which often is just Windows alone. And then they can sell their product to Windows users, but not Linux users, and they don't care about the lost market. Just like how a car manufacturer that compiles with European safety regulations but not American ones can only sell in Europe, but that's their business choice if they don't want to bother.

If you mandated that manufacturers must support all OSes that wouldn't work because anyone shitting out a hobby OS would force all manufacturers to start writing drivers for their shitty OS, so it would completely kill a lot of hardware manufacturers outright when they suddenly need to write 500 drivers for any new product.

The only workable solution would be mandating some kind of standard interface for drivers. But, like I said, nobody thinks this is a serious enough problem to bother.
I also don't know a lot about OS dev, but something to notice is that most hobby OS projects aren't compatible out of the box with e.g. Linux drivers. I think if they could do that, they would, because it'd be a massive advantage. But most don't, so I'm assuming it's really just not feasible to reuse drivers between OSes practically speaking, or have any sort of common interface.

>>108173667
>The only workable solution would be mandating some kind of standard interface for drivers.
That's exactly what WDDM is since Vista.

>>108173686
>WDDM since Vista
I don't know what that is but it sounds like a Windows-specific thing, no? It's not "standard" if it's specific to one single OS. Linux has also had a compatible interface for its drivers since forever.

It it at all realistically possible for that interface to be reused in other OSes? I'm kind of assuming that if it was, Linux would probably have had some interested in adding support just to get free driver compatibility.

>>108173739
You're implying that drivers are OS agnostic when they're not. They are OS specific. To standardize across both OS means they have to run the same kernel logic and that wouldn't make Windows or Linux what they are anymore.

>>108173794
>You're implying that drivers are OS agnostic when they're not.

I have a bunch of videos of mixed filetypes (mostly MP4s, some MOVs) that are taking too much space. Would converting them to webm save me some space without compromising too much on quality?
Also, I know how CPU intensive it is to re-encode videos so would it be ideal to upload the videos to a VPS I own, run the conversions there and then redownload when it's all done? Download/upload speed is a non-issue.

A hashmap maps a key (that it hashes, for lookups) to a value. What do you expect to be the hashed key in your or-ed cased?
It's not a java problem, it's how hashmaps fundamentally work.

For example in the future if you want to do
>valueMap.get("gold coin")
Then to look it up, it will hash the key you pass ("gold coin") and see if there's any value with that key hash in the map.

When signal starts dropping is usually dictated by obstacles and interference. So it's more likely that you have a new or stronger source of interference than Bluetooth becoming worse.
Another factor is how you determine signal dropoff. I doubt you have proper means to measure signal, so you use a proxy (when the music stops or sound quality degraded) but this is meaningless without knowing the bitrates involved.
For example, if your old headphones streamed shitty SBC, then you changed to slightly better ones that supported AptX, then you switched to a proper OS that supports LDAC, then what has changed is the bandwidth required to stream the sound (it went way up) but the actual Bluetooth speed and range stayed the same.

It can. I know epubs can embed remote images. I don't know for a fact for PDFs but it's such a gigantic format that I'm 99% sure it can, too.

Thing is I'm not sure if that'd be useful to detect piracy since at least epubs can't run actual code, so there's no way to easily add dynamic license checks. They could do something like make every legitimate download contain a unique image link and then if one link is getting hit from multiple IPs worldwide simultaneously, it means that downloader probably shared his ebook publicly, but that's about it.
Again don't know about PDFs, maybe there's ways to run actual code in them.

If you can assign a clear "cost" to every option, then you can just use something like A*. But it's very domain-specific, and often determining how to set the cost is the hardest part. I don't know of any more generic algorithms that can help take a subjective problem and determine a good cost for it.
You could maybe brute-force it by trying out different cost metrics, and seeing how well the search performs. Do it enough times with a representative enough subset of the data and you might get a decent metric for the full-scale search.

I don't know the details but the only piece of infrastructure microsoft controls is the auth server. Also technically the client but it's so easy to mod that any blacklist there would be bypassed day 1, and the launcher but it's such dogshit that you should be using PolyMC anyway.

Now the auth service is actually fully under their control and what they can do with it is, for example, deny access to blacklisted servers. Basically logging in to minecraft is done through the auth service, that's how you get your skin, and servers also connect to the auth service to validate that players who join are valid accounts.
There are alternative auth services, like ely.by, which basically exist in parallel to the official one - so instead of logging in to your actual minecraft account, you log in to that service, you set your skin in that service, and then servers have to also support that alternative service to let you join with an account from there. It works, the problem is that both the players and the server has to agree to use it, and up till now everyone has been so used to just using normal minecraft accounts that not everyone will bother. So a server that relies on a mostly random playerbase rather than a tight-knit community, might have that playerbase slashed significantly if they now have to require every player to make an account on an alternative service to be able to join.
You can also make pirate servers that have entirely local accounts, or no accounts at all and you set your username when you join. It's even jankier though, but maybe the easiest option for a small scale server with friends or something that lets you be completely independent from microsoft.

I'm saying that even at the point where AI is right now, I am unironically delegating tasks to it that I might have delegated to a junior otherwise. It doesn't always have common sense but neither would a junior without much experience.
And if they keep improving it then it will keep gaining more and more "common sense" and need less and less human handholding. Only way this doesn't happen is if the bubble implodes and everyone runs out of money for further training.
>grim
It is what it is.

>should I do the same
Are you really desperate to get into programming? If so sure, give it a try. The job market is not zero after all.
But it is very competitive and also very under threat. Maybe in five years it will be zero. Maybe LLMs will stop improving so fast, or maybe the AI bubble will implode, and in five years it will be about the same as now. Nobody knows. Do you like a hyper-competitive hiring scene and an uncertain future for the entire field?

There are jobs that are probably harder to get into, for example apparently becoming a professor in a university is something that has like 10% or 5% as many jobs as there are prospective candidates, it's not like computer science is anywhere like that yet. But also if you fail at becoming a professor you've still got a PhD and good job prospects, and if you succeed you're set in a prestigious position in society. If you succeed in getting a junior programming job it just means you successfully started at the bottom of the career and now also need to make sure you continue successfully getting jobs every time you want to upgrade.

I'm not saying don't go for it, I'm saying understand business 101 in the current job market of programming: high supply (programming skilled workers including jeets and AI) and low demand (workers for companies).

There's a reason physical trades are taking off (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc) and a lot of kids are going in that direction too. Low supply (trade skills) and high demand (companies need shit to be fixed/built). Kinda helps them that boomers are either retiring or dying off.

Will a router overheat if i set it to 1000 mW wifi instead of the regular 100 mW

>>108186247
that would depend on the router. i have killed a router from overheating it, but not from pushing up the wifi radio output, rather from installing openwrt on it and using SQM with a connection too fast for its' cpu to handle (so it would have been at 100% pretty much anytime i was torrenting, which was often)
the extra 0.9 watts from going from 100mW to 1000mW though, probably fine

You don't. They suck ass to use anywhere except on some sort of table. If you want to consume media on a couch or in bed you're better off with a tablet or a TV (obviously).

That's not true, back in the day when I used an Oculus Rift VR headset I had to use multiple active extension cables with its tracking cameras and with the headset itself. Those cameras were USB 3.0 and INCREDIBLY picky about the USB connection and they still worked fine over active extension cables.

>What other things do you even use card readers for?
You can read some generic info from debit/credit card' chips for example, not sure if there's any better options for the (obsolete?) CardPeek on Linux. You can also read SIM cards, assumed you glue it back into the full sized frame it came with. It's all software trickery and CardPeek has various scripts for various card implementations. I assume it's mostly reverse engineered.

>>108188889
>mouse/keyboard specifically *wouldn't* work with the long cable, right?
No, USB is usually backwards compatible, meaning that old USB devices will work on the latest cable+host, worst case is needing a passive physical adapter (USB C-to-A being very common).
Also, I believe you missed the part where, in practice, USB 3 cables do not exceed 3m. Not only does the current loss kill any hope for a power hungry device operating at the other end, but also the signal crosstalk and electromagnetic radiation would be insane – the cable becomes a giant antenna that jams WiFi and Bluetooth signals for the entire house.
And anon wanted this for WiFi.
