What if mgmtd has a hardware failure? Is there a distributed file system where you can take out any 2 arbitrary nodes and it keeps running intact, waiting for the 2 failed nodes to be replaced?

The real problem is that frontend work with anything else is such a pain in the ass. You want to write separate versions for MacOS, Linux, and Windows Visual .NET#++ and maintain 3 separate source trees in 3 languages and sync all their fea

I disagree. The IRS can wait. If a million people can't file their taxes the IRS will wait and I'm okay with that. I'm not risking another cardiac arrest so that a bunch of people can file their taxes on time.

I often do the reverse -- have LLMs insert docstrings into large, poorly commented codebases that are hard to understand. Pasting a piece of code into an LLM with the prompt "comment the shit out of this" works quite well.

The apartment building can have unified power backup in its foundation/basement. If you reduce the energy density by a factor of 10, the weight for power backup needs will still be far lighter than the concrete.

I feel like for home battery backup there needs to be some kind of lower energy density solution that has zero fire risk. Weight is not a factor for home energy storage, there is no need for lithium cells.

4x48GB Corsair DDR5 sticks is about $500.* Which is pretty cheap compared to the cost of my whole build and whatever other things I've spent on. Cheap is relative, but I'm just saying that if you're going to spend $3000+ on a
