Exactly my question too. It seems a little disingenuous not to talk about it. Is it going to try to sell me travel and accom? Venues to meet up with people? I have no interest unless I see a sustainable, unshitified business model.

eg. HP and HPE. I don’t know if it’s legally possible, but HP shows the branding bit can kinda work.

PPC’s likely last hope died when Google didn’t go ahead with OpenPower. Talos is the exception that proves the rule, sadly.

Anyone know why the instances lose 256MB RAM for every 4GB allocated? 3.75 (4), 7.5 (8), 15 (16), etc?

In my experience, which I suspect is not unique, the issue is that I gained experience in one career which led to me being paid a decent salary. Using that salary (which I have been able to maintain across employers in the same career), I t

The author doesn’t appear to consider the use of binary-only (typically commercial licensed) libraries. There’s still a need for an ABI and “modern tooling” isn’t a magic wand.

Australia does something similar (it's called HECS if you want to search for details).

Pick a daily cost you’re comfortable with. If you’re contracting at say $500/day, how much are you willing to spend on having a responsive machine? $10? $20? Multiply it out: 220 work days a year * $10/day is $2200 a year toward

I can speculate ... I think the primary reason would be that landing legs are heavy, and it wastes performance to carry them. If your landing mechanism is mostly on the ground, you get that performance back. Secondary reasons might include

Maybe so, but the fact remains. It’s a very common format for large amounts of older information, almost anything online from prior to the mid-1990’s.

I imagine the issue was that in earlier WiFi versions, there weren't a lot of channels available. You basically got 2 or 3 (depending on which country you were in) non-interfering channels. The protocols also dealt with congestion le

I guess it could be considered to breach the Code of Conduct, disrespecting the decision to ban Tim? Being respectful. We're respectful of others, their positions, their skills, their commitments, and their efforts.

You could read Guide's message (assuming the first comment is quoting it accurately) as being sarcastic about Tim Peters' banning. The mods probably feel like this is undermining their authoritah, and dropped the banhammer.

If you want to become an independent developer, you can just do it! Find a problem (ideally one a lot of people have), come up with a solution, code it, and apply your SEO skills to begin recruiting users. As a general rule, a web-based so

They probably can. NASA is worried about the thruster issue meaning that they lose control of the vehicle as it undocks and moves away from the ISS, leading to a collision. I guess that's independent of crew being on board. But also

In the 1960's (I think?) NASA did studies on various emergency situations in preparation for the post-Apollo space stuff that never happened. I remember a zippered inflatable sphere that could be used to EVA a person between vehicles,

I think it's mostly a question of how NASA assesses the vehicle: is it going to be an endless series of patches on a fundamentally flawed base? Or is it somewhere over 50% done, with some software cleanup, thruster fixes, and some dec

Boeing has a decision to make: keep investing in Starliner, or cut the program now, and avoid having to do a bunch of rework to fix it plus at least one more test flight (and possibly two?) on their own dime. It's not really clear (to

I had a 3100 on my desk for several years, with an LK201 keyboard and a 19" color monitor, running Ultrix 4.2/3/4 iirc. It was snappy enough running plain X11 or Athena (Xaw) applications, but Motif stuff slowed it down a bit

It's Hacker News. Unless it's a technical topic, or fairly closely related to a technical topic, this is the wrong place. There are plenty of other places to have discussions about non-technical things.

I think it's reasonable to say that Marxism continues to evolve as people continue to apply and evolve its principles to modern conditions. Just as capitalism has continued to evolve after the death of Adam Smith (although, to be fair
