This is so true, but it's also an issue. If you can't make a living in government, then you're more likely to leave or turn to rent-seeking opportunities (i.e. becoming a lobbyist after a few years working on Capitol Hill).

I assume you're talking about Optane SSDs, not Optane PMem, given the Evo Plus comparison.

Oof, fun times at Intel right now. There are pockets of Intel not forgetting what made it successful, but they're usually the most difficult places to grow a career as they get snuffed out pretty quick

I don't think there's much value if you're a SW developer. You have many ways to show off your work, but if you're not in that field, hiring is much more based on word of mouth, credentials (ugh), or self-promotion. I&#

If the Senate has amended the House bill, it will have to go back to the House (or a conference committee) to hammer out a unified version, which then needs to be voted on again and passed by both sides. This isn't a done deal (yet).

SPDK has made some progress since [0] was posted in 2015 (see https://spdk.io/ if you're curious). Still, I am excited about io_uring and what it brings to the table.

The key point in the thread is that they're giving back their CARES Act funding as they know smaller colleges need it more than they do. Stanford has a $26B+ endowment... they'll be just fine. Harvard, on the other hand, has a ~$

FYI, United told me it's 6 hours or more per flight. They changed mine by 4.5 hours, so no dice on a refund.

I made a request for data access on February 12, and I still haven't heard a word from these asshats. Don't hold your breath on them actually honoring the request. I realllllly can't wait for CCPA enforcement to start this

This is really well written and I learned a bunch. I wonder how much money vendors make by selling hardware RAID when customers could get away with kernel RAID. Also, thank you for this bit! "All tests performed here are random acces

I've been looking for a C290s for a couple months now, which sell regularly for $70 or less. They're now on Craigslist for $140+, and on Amazon for $200+. Can we enforce price gouging on private sellers?

I have three flights booked through July with United, and I'm likely going to have to cancel all three of them without a refund. Another rub is that they've changed the flight schedules on all my flights 4x now since February, an

Regarding Netflix, here's a big usage of theirs, which is the Extstore (external flash storage) the Github page refers to. They probably use it beyond this, but it's a good technical article to sink your teeth into. https:/
