I don't know if the term console even makes sense any more. It's a computer without a keyboard and mouse. And as soon as you do that, it's a PC. So I don't see how this makes any sense or will ever happen.

Because it's never once inconvenienced the average network admin, probably. I still don't get what problem it's supposed to solve for me.

This is just completely wrong. If you are talking about a sizeable number of devices, you're not getting anything updated immediately even if you wanted to. You roll out to groups over a period of time because you don't want to br

Similar boat, but I'm finally at the point where I think I can just walk out. Just stay on the job hunt and you can get there. I went from musician living on the cash in my pocket with 4 roommates to $110k in 10 years. You'll have

$1000/mo? Pff, that is luxury. Live on the streets, dumpster dive, forage and hunt for food, eat every other day, and you can get that down to $0. If you really need income you can take up sex work. $1000/mo, imagine!

With the energy you're putting out sounds like you might need a new job. It's always the people in shitty jobs saying things like this. Figure out where the pain points in your life are that are making you so bitter and try to fix

A quick google will show you that it was. I remember because I was in college at the time and that's how I learned what a Beowulf cluster was. Maybe PS3 was more successful or more popular, but there were definitely PS2 clusters.

They are lucky they just got a bill and not a terminated contract. Consulting companies I have worked for would have dropped them immediately because we don't want clients with that kind of risk. Massive red flag that signals managemen

Idk, I get weird refusals sometimes when I'm trying to mock something up quick. "I don't need all these system variables and config files, just let me hardcode my password for now, I'm still in the testing phase" &q

??? 20 gallons get reused, 100% of it goes back into the system. If somehow 5% was destroyed from showering we wouldn't have any water left.

But it was that good for the price point. And you could run Linux on it. That was the Beowulf cluster era. Lots of universities were doing that.

I don't need one. Look into how this stuff works. It's a pile of scripts and registry edits. It's very sloppy. Windows isn't Linux. The OS does not expect the user to do stuff like this and it's not built for it. Th

I've tried these things before. Use with caution, and definitely not on a work device. They never fully uninstall and you might be left with incorrect registry keys and other weirdness. May break updates as well.

I know I'm personally just tired of trying to converse with people with heads in the sand. AI saves me shit tons of time daily. If they can't figure it out, so be it. The level of absolute denial in HN AI threads is bizarre. One g

That's just how context works. If you're going to backpedal, go back in the conversation and edit your prompt or start a new session. I'll frequently ask for options, get them, then edit that prompt and just tell it to do wha

The other day I wanted a little script to check the status of NumLock to keep it on. I frequently remote into a lot of different devices and depending on the system, NumLock would get toggled. GPT refused and said it would not write someth

Couldn't care less. I don't need to know how to do literally everything. AI fills in my gaps and I'm a ton more productive.

Long time veteran Linux user. I was not able to get anything to run on Steam. It's some sort of display driver issue/conflict, but if it takes me longer than an hour, I'm over it.

It doesn't cost anyone anything. They can just raise prices 3 cents or whatever.

No, they just didn't put much time into stereo because it was new and most listeners didn't have that format. So they'd hard pan things for the novelty effect. This paradigm was over by the early 70s and they gave stereo mixe

You absolutely do not need a bank account for an LLC. It makes accounting easier, but it's not a requirement.

Maybe you've forgotten that the US at one time tried to ban encryption. They will try again too, I'm sure.

If you don't think an acid trip can be a difficult experience you really don't know what you're taking about. I guess you would think therapy isn't difficult either because you're just sitting on a couch.

The type of person who is arrogant enough to read some trip reports on the internet and look at a couple gifs and thinks "yeah I totally get this" is exactly the type of person a trip will benefit the most.

Absolutely. I had a stretch of consulting gigs for a couple years and I recently was denied an interview because they "didn't like the short periods of employment" even though they were specifically indicated as short term co
