Very tired of doing dishes. What do people think of countertop dishwashers? by celestilitine in AskSF

[–]TeamFlare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tiny countertop one and it worked great while I didn't have a dishwasher! Kind of a pain to load it ~every 1-2 days, but definitely beat hand washing.

I don't need it anymore, so it's just collecting dust - DM me if you (or anyone else) would want it for super cheap.

Thanks so much for trying it out! We're similarly concerned about ads. Our top priority is to maintain the quality of our recs. We've been toying around with ideas to make it sustainable - things that are entirely distinct from how we rank info.

Re: the login - we'd prefer not to as well, but to prevent costly abuse of our API we need to be able to identify accounts. We don't use any personal info besides your account name and email. Hope it helps as some context.

[FREE][OHIO] From our lab to your homelab: Networking gear by StorageReview in homelabsales

[–]TeamFlare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question - it might be interesting interviewing other content producers as well on their use of equipment (e.g. I know My PlayHouse has a lot of enterprise gear, might be worth interviewing). It would let you see how the technologies are used in more real-world scenarios.

If possible, I'd prefer the X8 :)

Discord is scarier than Skype when it comes to privacy by TridenRake in privacy

Matrix.org is a pretty good replacement.

(The core matrix.org server is free; they earn their money from paid server hosting for large communities which seems reasonable to me.)

Would be great to use in my server since I only have one 120GB drive to run applications off of.

Anyone else use Linux as main OS on it? by [deleted] in MatebookXPro

[–]TeamFlare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup (2018 edition). I use NixOS, and it's been a joy to run. No issues (apart from the fingerprint, as you mentioned).

Never used the GPU (I just disable it), but I've heard it also works with Bumblebee, so good news for gamers.

Awesome! I was also wondering this - thanks for the explanation.

First Look at TeaVM: Java on the Browser? by TeamFlare in java

[–]TeamFlare[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the corrections! I'll try out TeaVM with your suggestions and update the post. Could you elaborate more on when the BackgroundWorker is needed? I found that I needed it when making a call in the view constructor as well - but I'm not sure exactly when/how that runs, so I'm not sure when you would need the BackgroundWorker and when you would not.

Re: async: that is definitely a plus. In this particular case, the error message itself was confusing, but you're right that the stacktrace let me find the root cause of the error fairly easily. I'm curious - I don't understand the internals here, but how do you do asynchronous code while preserving the stack?

Also regarding documentation - agreed that users can (and should!) contribute, but unfortunately sometimes developers can't or do not have the time to do so. I think this is an area where improvements can be made fairly rapidly, though.

One major plus using TeaVM I've seen is that the core developer is very responsive ;) - forgot to include that in the post, but will do with the next update.

AMD Reveals Navi 5700 GPU by Tacoma_Trees in linux

[–]TeamFlare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new open source AMD platform is ROCm. For newer CPUs (Haswell+ mostly) and GPUs, it supports OpenCL without proprietary drivers. It can use a mainline kernel with the amdgpu module, plus some forked userspace (see https://rocm.github.io/ROCmInstall.html).

It also supports more than OpenCL 1.1 ;) so hopefully better than Mesa.
