jesperhh··on Cloudflare Registrar now supports .dev domains
Nope, I tried, all documentation says that they are not supported.

The release notes from 2021 say that they are “working on it”, so I hope they will be done soon..

jesperhh··on Cloudflare Registrar now supports .dev domains
Still no support for IDN domains though..
jesperhh··on FDIC auction for SVB said to be underway, final bids due Sunday
In Denmark this is possible and common. Danish mortgages can always be bought back at 100% value (if the rate drops), and for example a 2% mortgage from a few years ago can be bought back around 85% value.
jesperhh··on A Next-Generation Trash Can
From the headline I thought this was about the new Mac pro..
jesperhh··on Uncap - Map Caps Lock to Escape on Windows, Linux, and macOS
EDIT: This is actually already mentioned in the README

This seems like the wrong approach to remap keys on Windows. This tool is using a keyboard hook, so it needs to run always for the remapping to work.

Windows already has a way of remapping keys through the registry that will persist over reboots, without re-running the tool. There are many GUI tools for modifying the key-mapping in registry, I use SharpKeys (https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=sharpkeys)

jesperhh··on Very high current power supply (2012)
Damn, he is doing some crazy stuff - take a look at the x-ray experiments: http://danyk.cz/rtg_en.html
jesperhh··on Continuing frequency deviation in the Continental European Power System
I found some more information: http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/government-pays-a-mi...

Since the end of the Kosovo war in 1999, the four northern Serb-majority municipalities have not paid Pristina for their energy consumption.

To make up for the shortfall, people from other areas of Kosovo had a percentage added to their bills to pay for the north’s electricity.

In December, the Energy Regulator’s Office announced that electricity bills will be reduced by 3.5 per cent as consumers will no more cover the cost of the four municipalities’ power as they have done for the past 19 years.

jesperhh··on Microsoft: Haswell and older CPUs are slowed down significantly by Spectre fixes
How convenient for Intel - they have been unable to improve significantly on the single threaded performance since the 4790K but with this "fix", newer CPUs will magically start to look better than the old ones..
jesperhh··on Show HN: Is It Snappy? – Measure latency with your iPhone's 240 Hz camera
This is likely because the gpu has specific hardware for drawing the cursor on top of the current framebuffer, which can be turned off quicker than the character can be drawn to the framebuffer
jesperhh··on Nvidia CEO Reveals New TITAN X at Stanford Deep Learning Meetup
Interesting that this does not have HBM2 memory. Apparently this will only be for the Tesla GPUs on pascal GPUs unless they are going to put it on the 1080 ti, which does not seem likely when the Titan does not have it.
jesperhh··on Why I don't spend time with Modern C++ anymore
Visual Studio shows the type of auto on hover.
jesperhh··on Hain-plugin-clipboard: Replay clipboard history in Windows with fuzzy search
Polling seems like a bad choice when APIs like AddClipboardFormatListener exist.
jesperhh··on The War on Cash
Well if you made a cashless society like that you would just have "digital cash", and then there would be no reason for banning "analog" cash :-) The whole idea about banning cash seems to be to avoid tax avoidance and money laundering, and you can't do that if the goverment & police is not allowed to watch your bank account.
jesperhh··on Pebble Time Smartwatch Teardown
The E paper used by pebble is a form of low power LCD, it has nothing to do with E ink (other than being low power)
jesperhh··on A new day for Google Calendar
But you still cannot post simple HTML or RTF into the web version..
jesperhh··on Building Memory-efficient Java Applications
Does anyone know of a similar study of memory efficiency in C# (or the CLR in general)?
