Back before shows like Live PD and COPS were taken off the air earlier this year - watching them made very clear people in marginalized communities could expect more frequent and less courteous interactions with police. People were frequen

Microsoft bought GitHub and offers github actions. No need for them to also buy Travis. If Microsoft buying Travis would have "saved" it, then why are you worried about GitHub actions' future?

Blatantly incorrect that hospitals in Canada are for profit. The vast majority are non-profit. Although he is correct that they are not strictly government owned.

For a product not aimed at developers they spent a lot of time talking about how fast things compile during the M1 launch.

Each land/pin conducts heat so the more the better for thermal conduction. But these CPUs use so little power its not a big deal regardless.

The vast majority of home LANs will need an upgrade too. They launched 2.5gpbs and 5gbps ethernet to reduce costs and work with existing CAT-5e cabling, but hardware is extremely limited. 10G is still primarily aimed at enterprise and in

Storage is starting to get extremely exciting again. The KV SSD's, this, and Intel's Optane are opening up a lot of new avenues for extremely high performance storage.

Yes, there were lots of well meaning, but ultimately wrong people spreading their opinions. There were very few people spending the effort to vet and otherwise ensure reliability of the information provided, the best you could do was unive

The internet was known for the exact opposite: an extremely unreliable source with zero vetting or gate keeping. People used to trust the Encyclopedia Brittanica and other published sources were mostly reliable even if mistakes did happen.

Graviton2 is great. We had similar experiences with KeyDB, and while you still get better peak performance on Intel - the Graviton is more economical if you don’t need absolute top end perf.

This is more in depth than I thought. It would have been super helpful when I was first starting on KeyDB - but his code is very readable even without external documentation. Salvatore is definitely someone to be looked up to in this indus

Its not an act of omission, this is a result of compromise with factions that don’t want immigration at all. The fact it discourages people is a feature not a bug.

Since its hardware they are interested in I’d really recommend getting started with an arduino. You can build a lot of cool stuff and there is a great community. For real in depth “computer engineering” an FPGA is the next step. But that re

But you said it yourself, if we had not "managed" the forest we would likely have been in a better situation today with less severe fires. Humans have a huge bias to action, and aversion to change which isn't always for the

These forests managed themselves for thousands of years without us - including periods of invasive species (through geological rather than human means of transmission). I find it funny us humans seem to want to take responsibility for ever
