You're also deep sixing part of your immune system. There are consequences you can read about, which studies you decide to believe is a personal choice. A better initial road to travel is to wonder why one carries so much inflammatio

AIX was for a time IBM's brand name for UNIX environments so it covers some rather distinct products. The version that runs on ROMP is very distinct (one of the earlier commercial microkernels) from the S/370 and i386 version (wh

Gamma rays also travel faster than the other destructive waveform. Much of the expansive destruction from a nuclear bomb is due to "over pressure", and these facilities have spring loaded blast valves that quickly snap shut when

The "best" nostalgic connection would be mid 1990s to whenever 2000s ISDN where you have end to end PCM on a nailed down circuit switched network. There are a lot of issues to deal with going 2 wire to 4 wire to some kind of carri

The entire underground structure is an engineered Faraday cage constructed from a tremendous amount of steel rebar, copper mesh, and a central grounding and bonding network.

The underground sites were primarily for Long Lines equipment, i.e. L-carrier Coaxial repower, regen, cross-connect and HVAC and power continuity for these. You can see in the illustration that switching at its least efficient was maybe 1&

This is a beautiful comment. Thanks for sharing.

There's no mention of OOB support. You could of course hook up something to the reset pins and serial port, but this places it categorically behind low end x86-64 servers.

PowerPC was also the dominant embedded platform for two decades (the rover that just landed on Mars is PPC). Point being, ARM's presence in highly vertical markets like embedded or phones means very little to desktops and servers outs

Of defense contractors, Oshkosh is one of my favorite and makes amazing vehicles. I think the USPS will get a reliable and durable platform from them. As far as electrification, they have experience with that in the HEMTT and could upgrad

If you read the other DE respond in the tweets, it was DEC/Compaq Alphas. I think it's kind of insane to have gone from 64b back to 32b (and the DE claims it caused big issues). Seems like API alphas running Linux would have bee

Car loans are 0% for anyone with good credit right now. We live in a managed economy now sadly, so you are actually throwing away money by paying outright instead of taking on interest-free debt and doing almost anything else with the theo

This seems like a win for everybody. In the past a lot of people spent money on luxury goods which translated to over-paying brand name and status symbol. I would consider products like Beats headphones to be in that category; they were t

I've used bootstrap in the past as a non-designer to get a decent set of defaults for web applications. I definitely appreciate that aspect. But I am wondering if there is a lighter weight alternative. Maybe using reboot directly?

I have my own 1/2 cab, AS number, ARIN allocated IP4 and IP6 space. It costs about $500/mo. It took maybe 100 hours to set up the basics and $6000 for the way I built the hw (which is similar to servethehome's rack). I run

Isn't this still calling into the pluggable CC framework, with all the CC_ calls? You could say that the various CCs are also using RACK on linux too.

Netflix is either MulTCP (Renoish) or BBR on FreeBSD so they got that one completely wrong. Amazon Prime also has a 1/4 chance of coming from FreeBSD BBR via Limelight CDN. Anything on Limelight has a chance of being FreeBSD BBR depe

I can't help but think content producers are laughing their asses off on the way to the bank, regardless of whether people think their content is good or bad as long as they get the bag. Netflix convinced a bunch of investors they wer

Seems like younger tech companies finally realized IBM was full of mid to high end talent that is severely underpaid. For instance Facebook and Amazon have poached a lot of the Linux kernel talent that used to work on POWER arch and perfor
