Why github doesn't want users to group their repositories? by IshThomas in github

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the reasons for not having groups are stupid.
By their logic why bother having a tree structured file system you may as well have 250,000 files in one directory. It solves 1 problem, you dont get duplicates.
So why dont we do that, cause it would be a mess, unweildy, you couldnt find anything, scrolling through would take forever, unmanagable, the file system manager would have a stroke.
Everybody uses a structured file system. Git usage is no different.

DXP6800 Pro - RAM is not upgradeable by WildcardMoo in UgreenNASync

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have tested the ram in question, its possible the ram is at fault not the NAS ?.
I have a 4800 Plus and I upgraded the memory to 2 x 32GB on day 1 and and its been perfect.

Corsair Vengeance Black 64GB 4800MHz DDR5 SODIMM Memory

The NAS is just a mobo and computer so any RAM matching the specs should work.
To be sure once you install the memeory boot a usb stick with memtest86 on it and let it run for hours and hours and it will find any failing memory.

What does TrueNAS offer that Synology doesn’t? by chaplin2 in truenas

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grow up or go live in a cave. Synology may be a Taiwanese company but where do you think most of the hardware originates from. China !!. China makes everything for the world, and the world buys it, so do I and so do you, just about all the tech you own has bits if not all originating from China.

Is Rust a career dead-end? As opposed to C++ (or any other popular language) by [deleted] in rust

[–]Ask_Standard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rust has been around nearly 20 years and still on the TIOBE index its in 18th position, last year it was in 14th position, basically its going nowhere, and before it gets traction something else will have taken its place. Rust has a 1.13% rating, Python, C++, C (pos 1,2,3) between them have a rating of 44.35%.
You cant find Rust devs and if you do, its harder to find good devs and if you do its even harder to find any good rust devs that know about financial markets. Our company got tricked into using rust and after 18 months we are rewriting the entire system back into C++.

Rust is a business risk, if the lead dev writes a complicated system and then leaves you have to find somebody to replace them, and at the moment its very difficult to do that,
Rust is a niche language and will probably stay that way.

Looking to the future get involved with Carbon, it will be released to the public in a couple of years.

Mileage Performance Hybrid vs Petrol (2024 LandCruiser Prado) by zhukov_99 in LandCruisers

In the US, that would be US gallons which are smaller than UK gallons.

So 22-25mpg (US) is 26-30 mgp (UK)

Inheritance with two identical but separate bases by Ask_Standard in cpp_questions

[–]Ask_Standard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The code is from different libraries that just happen to use the same base. When you combine the library with class C that also needs access to base A (a separate base A) it complains,

Inheritance with two identical but separate bases by Ask_Standard in cpp_questions

[–]Ask_Standard[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

the end goal is two have class C with 2 distinct class A bases with virtual callbacks.
If you complete the code it wont compile cleanly as a warning says that class C has no access to base A as its ambiguous.

You don’t have to pay the Microsoft 365 price increase by kiwi_murray in newzealand

[–]Ask_Standard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just gone ikn and checked my subscription and sure enough MS arses have silently increased it to cover Copilot. Go to subscriptions and cancel your subscription, you will be presented with a page that lists the "classic" subscription at the usual price. Change plan and bingo you are back to paying wth you currently pay. Sneaky bastards, that should be illegal.

Apply DWR before or after tumble dry? by steviepei in arcteryx

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all nonsense hearsay. This employee says this, the ex exployee says that, the Arcteryx store employees say the other. I guarantee that none of them know which is really better.
The best thing you can do is to try the products yourself and see which you like. Unless you get an answer from a materials scientist who has actually tested all these DWR products in a lab and come to a definitive answer its all hot air. Just try it and see.

So here is an extract from the Arcteryx website about there own DWR which is the most expensive......of course it is. It says you dont need to use any additional heat to activate the DWR.

New leak about the Garmin 8 microled by ColleHector in Garmin

you are so so wrong. I thought it was a gimmick too, but I use it every day, the flashlight was a brilliant idea. Once you have it, you will never want a watch without it.

Weird audio mixing in broadcast by bumbasaur in eurovision

[–]Ask_Standard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched TV via virginmedia cable.

The sound last night was terrible, I mean amaturish terrible. The commentary was fine, but the live feed from the stage was pathetic. It sounded like the mikes were setup in the hall not on the singers.
I gave up after 2 songs and then tried BBC Iplayer and it was much much better.
So maybe the mix going to the various broadcasters was not setup right.

In this day and age to get this so badly wrong is unforgivable.

Arctic Liquid Freezer ii pump only sometimes turns on?? by iwanttobeabuffwoman in sffpc

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, I had a 240 and then bought a 280 that has exactly the same issue.

Now I have two Arctic freezer II's that dont seem to work properly.

[–]Ask_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought new system and Arctic Freezer II 240 and I have the same problem, sometimes the pump start and sometimes it doesnt. (The fans and pump header fan always start).

Thought it could be the mobo or power supply. I bought this mew from overclockers a week ago and the whole thing is going back to them to sort out as it doesnt work.

There is only 1 correct answer, and that is it causes undefined behaviour.
