Yeah, it's pretty intense to see these clusters in person. In our data centers, we have 40G optical interlinks per rack overhead, 100G spidering across the racks to different rooms and the main network room. And thinking of he main net

I don't think there's anything "garden-variety" happening coming up. And what else is this place, than a discussion about tough topics? My flagkilled post expands greatly on the sentiment of that commentary. The fact of

No, it's the exact opposite thing as "property". I can take materials and land, and build a house. I can live in said house. But if someone claims that the way I cut the wood was under a patent, then they can lay claim on my

I get smatterings of your comments of the similar old idea of "Can you imagine a mechanical horse carriage where all 4 hooves moved in unison?! Balderdash, I must say. There's no way 4 legs could ever move that fast and that synch

Errr, Edge? Very much, but this chart, and I would say the article is pretty much complete garbage. Yes, we collectively should save Flash content for its posterity of the older web. But that's a big thing for Archive.org to handle. An

Wow. that chart is misleading. They consider "No Digital Rights Information" to be a high risk factor. Bias much? And it's not even correct, with plugins with PDFs. They can have DRM junk encrusted on them.

Well, I'd be all for a rewrite. But doing so, we're throwing all existing Xwindows code down a drain. I'm not liking that, at all. I also want network transparency. Right now, I can run a Windows program remotely, via X and W

The other lesson these kinds of things teach is "This is how piracy and hacked APKs work. This is where you download them, and this is how you keep your device safe." I learned about piracy/copyright infringement when I was 7

Nahh, that's not why. They got rid of the idea of the X protocol and network transparency. I like being able to log in to remove Linux machines, and run programs that show up locally on my desktop. And since it's not some framebuf

Well, part of that deal is delayed pay, because the public sector pays a great deal less. Without this, you're going to get menial and do-littles in public service. ... Which the more I think about it, perhaps is the reason why they wa

There's a decent way to handle this method: use one of the Intel close RGBD cameras. I think they go by RealSense. Now, do facial recognition with the depth component. "Oh look, paper. How quaint... NOPE!" You could also log
