   Firstly, bravo on your field's publication. Secondly, condolences for Ryan Murphy for all involved. Can these erbium qubits be entangled over fiber, controlled by a quantum processor?

   The question is what motivates them. My mom wanted conservative social media. I just had to install it, and off she went. She barely answers phone calls correctly. She can't pull up her contacts or voicemail. Google maps is something t

   I will first offer you a cliche from a movie that I saw in my pre-adolescence in the '70s from a much older era, the title of which I do not recall: The palest ink is better than the best memory. How I obey this rule at the end of th

   I don't think that the assertions are nonsense, but I don't understand how this works. I have heard variants on this assertion: "Two of the most prominent purported underlying causes of aging are chronic inflammation and sene

    Allowing btrfs to run out of space is well known to do irreparable damage. Keeping it healthy means paying close attention to "btrfs fi df" and/or "fi usage" for best results. ZFS also does not react well to running

    I bought Rosetta Stone for a similar purpose. They cannot give you a chart or synopsis to save their lives. They are quite weak on tenses for this reason.

    The battle for ZFS could easily now devolve to IBM and Oracle. Making /home into a btrfs filesystem would be an opening salvo. IBM now controls Oracle's premier OS. That is leverage.

    I compiled Spice 2g6 and left it on my home website for years. It was customized output of f2c, and I had Linux and Cygwin 32-bit binaries. It's probably still floating around somewhere.

    I'm only halfway through the Mashey thread, but this is an interesting assertion, leading to what I think can and cannot be done (in my profound state of ignorance): "ONE LAST TIME: it wasn't politics that ended the VAX, it w

    I have heard that the Alpha architecture maintainers said that their options for improvements were limited, and themselves advocated ending development. What I also know is that DEC chose ARM for low-power applications, because the design o

    Actually, AArch64 appears to be preferred by many. Apple has discarded all 32-bit legacy, implementing only 64-bit in their equipment to great success. Fujitsu did the same with their supercomputer that was the best-performing in the world

    A key element was AMD's Barcelona, which was a quad-core design that had TLB problems and failed in the field. Intel just wired together multiple dual cores in several generations of their CPUs. AMD should have had this as a contingenc

    This seems odd, as there was a POSIX layer in Windows from the beginning, and I can't see how it could do without symbolic links. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem
