That is pretty cool, it's similar concept to an AI game I play called Halite[1], though I like the idea of having a king piece instead of just taking over the entire board. [1] https://halite.io

Without a doubt Dell has much better customer focus for technical people. The 4 year support contact w/ accidentally costs the same as 4 years of apple care, but Dell's covers everything except lost and wore down batteries. Apple

I switched from a macbook to the previous model a year ago and put Arch on it. The machine is really really excellent. I recently walked in a cafe in NYC and saw 6 of them and two macbooks, which I was shocked at. So I hope Dell keeps it up

He mentions yubikey in the title, but then nowhere else. The Yubikey Neo seems to be pretty close to his target device. The Yubikey 4 removed the ability to write new apps. The stuff about the NDA I do find alarming. In order to write &quot

For many many years, the number one reason people told me why they used apple products was privacy and that with apple I'm not a product. It's how they could justify paying the high premium for apple products. It would be very int

All of these are false. It stores everything in binary logs, however your old system didn't store it at all. You had a daemon (syslog, rsyslog, etc) that wrote them as plain text. If you start those daemons, you at exactly the same spo

I agree with your reason, however for me they get outweighed by other factors. If I am a maintainer of a popular distribution, I want my distro to have the best init system, and I want that init system to have the largest user base. EL6 and

systemd is by far the best linux init system. The options are sysvinit, OpenRC, Upstart, and systemd. Of those, the only reasonable choice is systemd. Upstart was almost good, but its really frustrating to use. OpenRC is decent, but confusi

I binge watched the entire series, because so many people liked it. Though I wouldn't recommend it. The transition into sci-fi was very subtle, and where they took the show was interesting for it's time. But the technical aspects

Intel has no reason to not release those drivers for it. Windows might not ship the drivers themselves, or make it "just work." But that's not in Intel's interest, they want to sell chips. They don't care what you r

They better be super reliable. The article states that they have 1GB/s write speeds. 100TB / 1GB/s = 27 hours to completely write the disk. That that's at MAX write speed, you could easily have a raid rebuild time of wel

Not sure what you mean here. They showed that ZFS performed well on linux. Are you saying that ZFS performs poorly on BSD and Solaris? Love me some ZFS and it works well pretty much everywhere. OpenZFS shows good promise of keeping (bringin

You missed a pretty big part here. OpenZFS and Nvidia are modules of the kernel, they use the exposed API. OpenZFS is fully open source, with an incompatible license. Nivida's graphic driver has a GPLed portion that it's binary bl

The biggest problem with using google authenticator as a two factor mechanism is if you are managing many servers, is that each server needs to have its own setup. If they share keys, and one server gets compromised, they can generate keys

I agree with you, but for a different reason. I work for a company uses these targeted ADs. 100% of the ADs I see are for what my company sells. Well 98%, sometimes I see ADs for services we are already using. It would be cool if when I am

You are right, they could store their actual wallet addresses on their phone. But would that actually be a good idea? I would sure hate to loose all my money because it rained hard while walking home. And all the other dangers that haunt ph

It still requires a bank account, just a difference sense of the word. If someone only has a phone, they need to store their bitcoin somewhere, and its unlikely to be their phone. So whoever is holding their bitcoin is acting as their bank.

What I find most incredible about this is that apple has been told about this over and over again for the past 600 days, and did nothing would be the bigger issue. I have watched Trammel demonstrate this attach right in front of me about a
