Every time something like this gets posted on HN, my brain does the same thing: “Neat! I wonder what Jeff Geerling will think of—Oh! This _is_ him!” Keep up the good work, and looking forward to hearing about if you’re able to get those Cor

I don’t believe them when they say that. Based on the way they keep ending at the same conclusions with different reasonings as facts change, I think they don’t like being told what to do, and keep backwards-rationalizing reasons (“I read s

I’m going to look up what SVE extensions are, but before I do, how much work (as a proportion of all work done on EC2) couldn’t be done on G2? I generally go off the assumption that most EC2 instances are hosting web servers and database se

Doesn’t IBM also offer a bunch of weird architectures that can’t be found anywhere else? One day I was looking up some old PowerPC and s390 architectures that are supported by a lot of docker images, trying to figure out why anyone would wa

Does Chromium have `make -j$(nproc)` or equivalent? Because a few hours on a fairly recent processor with a whole bunch of cores sounds long.

I pronounce it gah-noo or G.N.U. arbitrarily, but I assumed it was just like “sequel” and S.Q.L. where everyone just pronounces it both ways.

Yeah, the Evoluent Vertical Mouse gave me two working hands and a lucrative career. Pretty good value. Five Stars. Would buy again, in fact I have, so I have one for every place I use my laptop.

With arXiv I mind less for some reason, but I pronounce TeX and LaTeX as teks and lay-teks because: - That’s how I pronounced them when I first read them. - That’s how everyone else pronounces them when they first read them until someone wh

My understanding is that you could use that to auth with a site where you already have an account or where you’re signing up. But if blockchain enables me to go to a site I’ve never been to and be already signed in with a unique name I rese

OK, NOW WE’RE TALKIN. In years of talking to blockchain people about this stuff, no one has ever given me a use case description that succinct and concrete. A decentralized SSO is the kind of thing that would seem useful on it’s own, even w

Perhaps its one of those things where “95% of the time you’ll be fine, but be careful if you do it 20 times, because botulism only needs to happen once.”

I clicked through to the Q3 transparency report, and when I got to the list with Thinkarette at the top, I looked at the next handful of slots and audibly exclaimed “THESE GUYS” (substitute an expletive for “guys”). - 96.9 The Eagle KKGL -

Slightly off-topic, but I’m curious if anyone’s had use for/good luck with deploying a large number of Pis and having them all network boot off the same image? I’ve looked into using this method for controlling projectors for theater s

Don’t those charts take a minute to fully update? I think that’s why people are saying it’s fake. If it is in fact real it’s a video, not interactive, and what we’re watching is a sped-up version of it.

Venus’s orbit is between us and the Sun, so if it’s going to be visible at all, it won’t be at a time when your part of the Earth is facing totally away from the Sun. Venus would be visible a lot during the day if the Sun were less bright.

If someone sells the NFT and publishing rights to a work at the same time… couldn’t they just sell the publishing rights? It’s like you’re buying the publishing rights and getting a receipt for your purchase and people are acting like the r

Ah LTI, it’s been a while. The tough thing about LTI is that it assumes the piece of content you’re trying to serve is a single resource. So if you’re serving a video or a single HTML page, then cool. If your page is some sort of JS player

I’m pretty sure almost everyone who buys a Model 3 thinks that a Model S is “for them”, they just can’t afford it. When the Model S came out, it was clear what it would be good for, and all that needed to change was to get the price down an

But the thing is, I get the historical significance of the Mona Lisa and Mickey Mantle. I don’t need an appraiser or something to know why they have value. The value proposition of these Bored Apes is a lot less clear, and acting like “we a

> the age old “this isn’t for you” is applicable here I disagree. When people are going around calling this a revolution that will change the fabric of society, they can’t just revert to “maybe it’s just not for you” when they have troub

There's Hugo (mentioned elsewhere ITT) and I hear it's pretty good. If I were making my own personal site that I was going to spend a lot of time on and I was more into Go than I am (I like Go but prefer Node.js) I'd totally

Here’s something to think about: You and some buddies start a startup whose product is a complicated piece of medical software that uses Tensorflow’s inference but most of it is written in Go. Cool stuff, you’d never do that in PHP. You’re

OK, so is it basically a community effort coalesced around keeping up with DRM and obfuscation by funneling all the effort into one project which, in order to stay ahead of the industry, can’t reveal how it does what it does? Cuz that, whil

Does MakeMKV have some sort of magic fairy dust that allows them to rip blu rays? It seems weird to me that a random closed source tool on the internet does this, and the fact that ffmpeg can’t do it after all these years feels really weird

I feel like a lot of people who bring up “the concert use case” really need to think about it for more than two seconds. Imagine jumping up and down headbanging to your favorite 2000’s pop-punk song, blasted off tequila and red bull, except
