We do need to walk more but it's a crappy way to lose weight. You have to put a huge number of miles in to lose a significant amount. Tracking your eating and eating less calories is the only winner really. Put it this way: Don't

Yes although I inherited something that did this once for no good reason and it made me scratch my head for several hours before I understood it properly. YMMV on that.

It had some problems because they mostly didn’t test it properly. That hasn’t changed now. Hence why the edge and windows alt tab integration actually broke alt tab on windows 10 RTM for nearly 6 months.

Most people buy low end machines from Apple. They just keep volume handy. Although recently when I went to Apple store they had no stock at all here in the UK of anything. Literally emptied out.

I love the backpedalling later about how great Vista is. Which was bollocks.

Realistically 99% of the corporate and consumer laptops I have been party to are built to order with the right amount of RAM in and never upgraded. Those of us who actually upgrade are an insignificant minority at this point or pulling them

Kubernetes on AWS is always broken somewhere from experience as well. Oh it's Wednesday, ALB controller has shat itself again!

No it’s still MFT contention. Someone at my company independently discovered the same problem recently with git on WSL. MSFT don’t listen to or care about their customers findings from experience. That’s why canned our partner status. In th

No we don’t. 80% of the cameras out there in your statistic don’t actually exist. From what remains, 25% are dummies, 25% don’t work, 25% are potato quality and what remains are staffed by people who aren’t even paying attention. It’s a typ

I'm going to have to complain about this because in real world use these are far less of a problem than MFT contention on sub-900 byte files generated by typical unix environments. Particularly things that are lockfile heavy and VCSs e

This is actually a problem with the design of NTFS. Small files are stored in the MFT (Master File Table) which results in heavy lock contention and slowness if you're doing lots of small files which is what most people tend to do thes

No - that's a shitty USB to NVMe bridge repackaged as a hat for it. It's just pretending. I want a couple of PCIe lines on the SoC on an M2 NVMe connector. That's all.

Impressive. Now I can choose to trust my data to a shitty USB stick or a shitty no brand USB to SATA bridge... Just give me a native SATA or NVMe port.

The problem is this is a pretty bad trade-off for storage as your only storage option is an SD card for primary storage and then USB for secondary and both of those quite frankly suck terribly for reliability and stability. If someone sold

Nope. If you look at the schematics for the Pi 4 the power distribution is flawed. The USB-C 5v in is directly connected to the internal 5V rail. There is no buck-boost or power conditioning or protection past a 5v-ish TVS diode. So any I2R

Yes it is. Also the raspberry pi power situation is far far worse.

This is neat from a creative perspective. But I have to ask these days: why not just use a laptop? It’s got a flip out console, built in UPS that can last hours, proper storage and power supply. Unless you need some GPIO or something I woul

Try producing two kubernetes clusters with exactly the same configuration with full management and monitoring stack and you will discover how difficult it is to scale this complexity up. Docker works for most trivial cases but for complex s

Yes exactly. It's a solution to a problem. My point is it is better to avoid the problem than employ a solution.

deploy = basically scp and do a blue/green switch over. rollbacks = deploy the last version Scale up = add some more instances and redeploy the current version (not an issue as our load is fairly consistent) All of those tools, which I
