I think the issue is there are different market drivers at play. GPUs are more 'visible' than FPGAs to consumers; there's probably a couple of orders of magnitude more people pushing for open source/hackable drivers for

The trope that some modern nation or culture 'invented' or 'created' something centuries or millennia before the modern incarnation existed is a tried and true page from the nationalist handbook[1]. It's unfortunat

I think one modern angle would be the certification scam, where if they're looking for, say, a Windows Server 2022 admin, but you cert is for Server 2019, you never get through the HR regex filter.

I agree. The University provides the opportunity to do and experience all sorts of things; at my own school I got to work with/talk to/learn from many of the smartest people I have ever met and learned (outside of my engineerin

That's some pretty cool tech, but 'State of the art' wasn't really what I was talking about. I mean at some point, there's likely a physical limit to how many bits per second that can be pushed down an 4-pair coppe

I remember when it was "mainstream copper connections can't really go above 100Mbps" and we ran fiber. Not that there isn't some physical limit to how much data you can reliably push down 4 pairs of copper (that sort of

WiFi is fundamentally shared media. If you're in a relatively populated area and competing with a ton of neighbors all streaming 4k and playing CoD, there comes a point where no amount of new computer will make it faster.

I did the same thing running fiber in my older house, and was virtually always able to find a premade within a reasonable number of feet of the length I needed. Yeah, I had to widen a few holes to snake the connectors thru, but it wasn&#x2

Don't worry, he's just a crank with an axe to grind and not enough facts or imagination to support his argument. Don't worry, anyone who took a minute to think about what he said knows you're right. And calling some so

Anything Netlify deems them to be, of course. That's why these sorts of T&Cs use weasel words like "legitimate", "reasonable", "expected", etc., instead of giving specifics you can action against. Th

That would potentially make this situation much, much worse (in the US tax system...YMMV). If Netfly forgives a business debt and reports it to the IRS as uncollectable so they can write it off, the IRS can consider all or part of the fo

Sorry. I thought you were talking about something more nuanced than being a low-grade dick. Sure, you can probably drive the secops guys nuts for a while, and definitely piss off the customer service folks, which pisses of customers. But
