Yes, I seem to recall getting 333 1/3 milliliters, which is usually rounded as 330ml in most contexts. I don’t see how this is any more of an issue than trying to calculate, for example, one-third of a mile (586 2/3 yards) or one-

I would be inclined to see it the other way around. In most of the places where I have worked, there are enough people to provide support and build custom packages for the CentOS that paid Red Hat support makes little sense. As to why you w

While I agree that there's a whiff of IBM trying to offload responsibility for older tech, I think some credit has to be given to projects which pre-dated the current industry attitudes towards open source. A lot of things had to happe

I think the best bet for POWER would be for Chinese manufacturers, given the trade war and general distrust of American-made tech in their systems. There are already manufacturers who have licensed the EPYC IP from AMD, but a for-free desig

While that is true, it is also important to keep in mind that Intel is quite conservative with the Xeons, meaning that they lag behind the consumer chips by one tick/tock cycle (or whatever they call it these days) IOW - by the time we

+1 to a VM or a 'burner' laptop - this is how I've generally seen this problem solved before. Many people (particularly in large corps) are actively prohibited from using other solutions by IT and/or Legal policies.

There was a gap of about 3-5 years where AMD had the performance-per-clock lead over Intel, I don't think that time was the issue here. As another posted alluded to - Intel was engaging in some dodgy dealings.

In an ideal world we would get rid of such applications. In the unideal world where we reside, it is going to be difficult in many large organizations to ‘sell’ k8s to upper management if it can’t run older applications as well as new ones.
