I was looking at my Newegg orders recently. 7/18/2023 - 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) --> $260. Now, $750+.

Recently sold a condo I had in NE California. When I first bought there ~8-9 years ago, a town near by had old railroad cabins for ~100k or less. As the housing / migration boom to Reno took hold, those cabins are now in the 2-250k r

I think there is a slight modification to this, at least for me, there are things tech related for me I want turnkey - I've used MacOS for years because I want a unix system with a decent GUI that I don't have to manage (the fact

Part of the problem with the way India wants to be seen is those that go to IIT, etc., get into white collar jobs that elevate them well above the norm in India want to ignore the rest of the country. Abject poverty. The US has severe issu

One concern the post brings up - single point of failure. Yes, in this case, blah blah big company microsoft blah blah (I don't disagree, but..). I'm more worried about places like Paypal/Google/etc banning than the be

First used Waymo in Phoenix. It was a decent experience. The funny thing was watching it handle parallel parking. I mentioned it to the wife - self driving with parkinsons. This last weekend, we were in the city (San Francisco) and liter

'Nobody’s actually run this in production' - the majority of people who work with postgres don't talk about it or gloat about it because it's a tool that works - including it's addons. Yes, young engineers get all h

spend some time in rural areas, you will see a one or two bar here and there and sometimes it works, sometimes it is not.

I’m lost at “the public sector would have argued for some budget”. Xslt and libxslt are used across a no - trivial amount of deployments. Why would the public sector feel bound to support it as opposed to pivot in the same direction the wi

there are two predominant architectures right now (right or wrong), amd64 and arm64. Why the F would amd invest in risc when their gpus are well above intel in specs and explain the biz market approach for risc...

The outage was really weird. For me, parts of the portal worked, other parts didn't. I had access to a couple of resource groups, but no resources visible in those groups. Azure Devops Pipelines that needed do download from packages.

I miss OS/2 a lot. For what it was at the time (intel, not ppc) it worked really well. When I was at Netscape, my build machine was OS/2 so I could do windows builds and still actually work. Machines then were much less capab

In all honesty, Bending Spoons acquiring AOL will probably have better synergy across their portfolio than Salesforce buying Slack. Having worked at SF, even working in dev rel/infra ops, it was mostly "slack who?". That ac

I'm still typing this from an M1 MAX MBP w/ 64 gig of ram. I ended up needing more memory so, I swapped to this machine instead of my M1 air w/ 16gig. Both machines are completely capable for most tasks I deal with as a dev

This is interesting. In the past 1/2 dozen years, I've ended up in the hospital twice (both via ER, one at Stanford, one at Dominican in Santa Cruz). In both cases, I was there for ~3 days (I push to get myself out as quickly as

If one lives in a state like CA, the taxes (income, sales, etc) basically are equal to that of Norway/etc. The downside, we don't get any real benefit from those taxes paid out.

War story or nightmare? The asn.1 parsing in Netscape was an interesting beast. I also added some to a VPN I worked on while at another company.

I’ve read the same, I can’t see any net benefit here aside from grift. I mean, in all honesty, if our system is going to allow the grift and one is amoral enough to do so, have at it. It may catch backup later.

As someone who extended the ASN.1 parser in the Netscape code base to handle PKCS#12 and at one point knew more about RSA standards and varios ASN.1 definitions than anyone should, I respect the blog owners diligence and masochism. It would

I need to read through this some more, but there has been another genetic coding paradigm referred to as spec driven development. I’ll find the link in the morning, but I kinda joke - it’s vibe coding for people who know how to define a pro
