What a pain in the ass machine that was to write code for. You had 3 different processors to manage with 3 different architectures and all of the challenges the game dev community had with keeping the SPEs hot. But the SPEs were not enough

Currently no, but the XServe was a product for a decade. And they have built an internal ML cloud, presumably with rack mountable hardware. The bigger issue for apple IMO is they ditched the server features of their OS and they're not

They serve different workloads. Other than GIMP Affinity is also a great alternative, not FOSS, but buy it for life with an incredible price that includes feature updates.

Cynically those changes were just a rebrand to meet changing mores about health. McDonald's salad famously has more calories than the big mac. Super size items may not be called super sized, but an extra-large is the same size a super

I really wish rust didn't make the guarantee that references are pointers, if I ever made a Rust 2.0 I wouldn't make this guarantee. It would make the `Copy` type less needed and help with extra `&&&` coming up in gene

That’s basically what super computers have been for the last twenty years: large computer optimized data centers. The main differences in hardware are usually infiniband (and its RDMA capabilities) paired with a really powerful parallel fil

The pendulum has sung too far in the other direction in the last 20-30 years in my opinion. Now its a race to have the hardest sci-fi and anything less than a master's thesis on why the macguffin is plausible is rejected by fans. Its q

In general having clustering be a core is primitive instead of being tacked on in user land gives you some nice features out of the box. Some can be replicated but with a lot of work from the user In the exclusive camp we have: - cross clus

The difference is that the array bounds are checked and the behavior is defined whereas bad unsafe pointer athematic if you’re lucky gives you a segfault and at worst an RCE.

This is a common misconception about the Amish and other plain people, eg stricter Mennonites. They don’t have a universally agreed about set of rules. Each community sets its rules differently. Most Amish don’t reject technology wholesale
