My city removed a few low head dams near the center of the city over the last decade. We are still in the process of a major reworking of the sewer system (to the tune of a few billion dollars) to separate wastewater from storm water due to

This rack could be used for storage, not compute. You could add a Mellanox 400Gb NIC to the machine (assuming you have the required 32x PCI lanes for it), and then route that to your compute resource. This is a typical scenario.

This seems true to me. Correlation doesn't imply causation, but I've had my fair share of bizarre dreams where two completely separate concepts try to wedge themselves together in interlocking dream logic. No examples to speak of

Wow, so this is very close to what we did in school. Us being the 'hackers'. By chance was this in Ohio?

There is some truth to that, but not never. A flush will dislodge any metal shavings and crud from the moving parts. The filter should catch these, but the filters themselves can get clogged, and then bye-bye transmission. Flushing can re

Simon Reynolds's book Energy Flash is a pretty good read on the history of early techno / rave culture up to about the 90s (if I remember corectly, it's been awhile). A lot of history regarding Detroit techno and the roots

Same with my old school Chromecast audio, it needs to be rebooted constantly as it too somehow stops connecting to wifi. I used to use it with a toslink cable and got really good sound out of it using a DLNA server from my storage. Now I ju

I guess the first and foremost for an ELI5 is WTF is BEAM VM? The "BEAM VM ELI5" page doesn't explain what it is specifically, and how it's not a Hypervisor VM, but as a bytecode interpreter in Erlang. When I see &#x27

Teams completely borked because of this. My employer hugely depends on this as we all WFH, and basically has stopped all communication outside of email (thank god we are on-prem).

The real game changer will be self-assembling displays sprayed on a surface. Imagine a spray can where you could put a display anywhere with wireless connectivity.

The fact that one high-caliber bullet can shut down a multi-billion dollar transport system is all that needs to be said. It's a silly idea and is best made on the Moon or Mars where atmospheric pressure is already low enough to not ca

Indeed, but not always the implementation. Microsoft's ReFS has had several patches due to issues involving memory usage and general performance.

So I'm thinking Deduplication on drive will be the big thing here. Think XFS or ReFS block cloning but without server side processing.

It would have been doubly funny if they instead used B. taurus excrement. Specifically male. Also a little disappointed it wasn't Chiroptera guano, because that'd be crazy.
