This makes even 30 years ago seem like such simpler times. The rate in which something today can skyrocket into the zeitgeist is mindboggling. 30 years ago the biggest hype thing was stuff like actual yo-yos. (Obligatory Simpsons bit: h

I really need to finish my YouTube video on this... -- ----- So, the answer is you don't need a lot to get big impact. Let's take some NICs like the Intel XL710-QDA1. These are about $250 used. This is a 40Gbps NIC using just PC

Thing is, even in those 2nd tier markets, you're still looking more towards the top. I say this as someone having spreadsheets "I shouldn't have" from folks towards the top of acquisitions into larger companies that do

So prior to this week, the last real US bank runs -- in the classic sense, a Type 3 caused by information-fueled panic -- were between 2007 and 2008. In chronological order: Countrywide Financial (2007-08), Bear Stearns (2008-03), IndyMac

I believe the reason you are being downvoted is over a technicality. It is correct that no depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC- insured deposits. This is excellent for the average person, as the average normally-employed person isn’t

USDC, FRAX, DAI, USDD and USDP all seem to be having a moment. As someone who only observes crypto, the past 4.5 hours (at my time of writing) has been interesting to watch.

In general, if anyone wants to go through all the recent 8-K filings, this is what SEC EDGAR is for. Here's a link that'll bring up all recent 8-K filings by date and time, descending: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin&

We didn't bail them out. Banks pay insurance premiums to the FDIC. These premiums create the reserve the FDIC uses to pay for these exact situations.

Hover has been about as no nonsense as it can get. Not the cheapest, but I'd rather pay a few extra dollars a year to not have to deal with this in the future. I swear I'm the only person I know not constantly switching domain r

I do thoroughly enjoy my RPis, but even though we’re supposedly heading towards the shortage ending in late 2023, availability of the normal boards feels as it continues to dwindle further. The A53 is about 1/2 - 2/3rds of the per

There’s some massive variance in 4-over-1 and 5-over-1, with newer units very much built to a price. I lived in one in Boston that was 4 total floors, actually all steel framed (so not really a 3-over-1), polished concrete floors in every u

Indeed. I have a very low power storage server with tons of ECC, and the better consumer grade NASes also tend to have it. Again, the issue here is its functionally limited to enthusiasts today because of cost and the average person being

Yep. It's why ZFS, BTRFS, Ceph and Gluster matter. Being able to detect that data at rest has gone wrong, and being able to reconstruct the original state is a big deal. I'd like to think that as NAND continues to scale up in

In the case of Cambridge, MA, a reasonable stance is kind of required if the city is going to materially grow further. Without it, Cambridge would stagnate if progress was halted by quagmires of bickering. The only real thing of note is

This is a very short-sighted approach. MCM is coming to Intel too. Moreover, hybrid architectures are coming to AMD with Zen 5. I've historically argued that Zen 4 X3D is a bit of a "beta test" prior to Zen 5, where schedu

Makes sense. Traditional RDBMSs are basically a buffer cache and a query optimization engine. If the data is sitting in memory, and you've tuned extracting the data from memory as fast as possible, job done.

Honestly, I'm surprised that we haven't yet seen companies move to "bunk cubicles", with one cubicle directly on top of the other.

UPSs also have other benefits in power outages as well, once you've shut the computer down. You can use it to keep LED lighting on at night. Charge phones and tablets. Moreover, if your power is out, you might still have 5V on your

Indeed. The game Intel used to play is now the game everyone plays -- Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, for both consumer CPUs and GPUs. At least on the desktop. They tend to run them to redline by default, because numbers. It's all about ge

So to ultimately validate you can either use pretty pricey USB power meters that not just display the amperage and voltage, but can record that telemetry, which you can also validate further with clamps and multimeters. There is a ton you c

Even if both channels are populated, there can also still be additional benefits from bank interleaving - where you have two memory ranks per channel - particularly on AMDs Zen architecture family (but Intel as well). Gamers Nexus backed it

Indeed, modern hardware is getting ridiculously efficient, and if you go the extra mile to disable hardware you don't use, as well as strip your configuration to run only the software you absolutely need, you can really drive it into
