I don't watch Youtube, so it's hard to assess the point being made, but zero gravity implies no normal force and therefore friction. Bicycles need friction for both drive and steering, as I and many others have painfully experienc

Good luck getting a standard Linux kernel to run on those Armadas though.

Actually they say 8th generation Core.

Can only run Linux workloads. If it's immutable containers we're talking about, then patching needs to be handled by your image build system and containers need to be restarted in order for the patches to be applied. Yes, you&#x27

FWIW it has been included in stock Ubuntu since 16.04 LTS so it is widely available, and likely more in use than assumed.

Tragedy of the commons much? It's disturbing to see corporations occupy the vacuum US policy has left here.

A lot of inside sales teams use LinkedIn for active prospecting. It's reasonably successful.

If Meltdown and Spectre do end up causing industry wide redesign of CPU internals and issuing of new generations of chips I expect competition for silicon design, verification and enablement expertise to heat up to the point of being red ho

A lot of server software is actually open source and runs on most commonly available hardware architectures, including ARM and PPC. You are right that everybody develops assuming x86, though, and there is some friction in that transition r

Interestingly, in 2010 Brazil introduced legislation severely limiting access to antibiotics for humans. Since then you need to hand in a prescription with each purchase -- and it is kept by the pharmacy. Doctors still prescribe antibiotics

Do you have actual facts to back up your first paragraph? If it's just an informed opinion, mine is: if you can, you should definitely wait before buying new server parts.

Do you live in Japan? I've been there a few times over the past 40 years, most recently for thr Tokyo ODS, and I think his comment is spot on.

Legalization efforts of hard drugs are not really efforts to stimulate drug use; rather they are intended to make visible addiction which is typically hidden underground. Marijuana is a bit of an odd case as it is generally considered harml

I wasn't commenting on hydro plants in general but rather on the OP's commentary on environmentalism vs. economic development. Hydro is great.. if the consequences are reasonable, and that's totally project-dependent.

Not downvoting, but as a Brazilian living in Brazil I don't agree with the false dichotomy you imply here, that you can't develop in an environmentally sane way. What the current government is implementing is criminally irresponsi

Except NAT is dead simple, and requires basically zero configuration of the CPE from the end-user perspective. Yeah, it complicates (though seldom completely breaks) a host of important applications, but it's hard to think you could re

Here's an idea. Instead of spending the effort on a damaging, losing battle on the technology side.. let's invest in social inclusion, mental health and healthy foreign policy in the middle east. Catching the madmen on the wrong s

I noted above that the nomenclature is inconsistent between Ubuntu and RHEL. But you are right on the money with regards to the fix in precise.

In Ubuntu terms a backport is when a newer version of a package is made available in an existing release. With few exceptions (see MicroReleaseExceptions) versions of packages in a distro release are not updated, which is why the backports

Are you serious? It's definitely possible, and almost simple, to build a limited scale service that is cheaper than S3. S3 has the Amazon footprint behind it, which you can't compete against, but the price is not hard to beat.

No, actually he is exactly right. 10% better would made no difference to the typical buyer, and to complicate any TCO guesstimate would need to take into account managing a new arch in a deployment, which comes with its own hard to measure

Except a new architecture brings with it non-trivial software compat and operational overhead. If you are 100% in control of your software the former is manageable, but how many of us really are? The trick here is to make the new platform a

Well, Vulcan is now kaput, Seattle seems disowned and X-Gene is up for grabs, so only Qualcomm and Cavium remain as contenders in the server SoC space. I predict they still have a solid shot but it will require a lot of uncomfortable adjust

To be somewhat similarly OCD, if your software is controlling storage to each of those drives, then there are many shared LOC involved; indeed, this is the reason why async replication into separate clusters is always recommended for data w

Hey Jeff.. the nick fonts are really small on HN; I didn't see it was you! I don't think latency to near RAM will increase; it would have too material a performance impact. Even in disaggregated designs like Rackscale there is def
