How about vibe coded health care systems.

The finance fun noone knows about. I knew someone who did this as revenge. Sent some asshole a fake invoice for US$stupidmoney for a couple of months which said asshole ignored, then sent a certified mail 'I forgive asshole US$stupid

Flash card creation? Talk about scope creep for a dedicated reader.

Yeah...I stick with my Kindle Oasis for the buttons. I'll wait until/if this gets them; otherwise would have been a no brainer purchase.

Visiting your world must really be depressing. Fortunately, we can go to the OPs world, find a little joy in his experience, and avoid you and your misery altogether.

That's funny, one of my buddies from college was one of the OG Versant employees (I assume there's not another OODBMS named Versant). That was in the late 80s.

Yes. It's a moral imperative. :-) Hate to hear about your ASIC issue. I have too many boxes sitting idle because some custom bit of semiconductor has gone wonky with no way to replace other than cannibalism.

I have many times chastised commenters about shitting on other peoples toy/hobby/side projects, but like many others I'm a bit lost on the fun of iterating on "get the Linux 0.whatever source code and rewrite it in rus

I remember watching HN and seeing every time there was something Rust related trending, there was ALWAYS a post made shortly after trying to hype Zig and this went on for like 4 years. Oh, please...if you haven't noticed the carpet b

Yes...I remember the model 80. The cards you're talking about are 1) a design choice IBM made to use MCA as the official way to expand memory in the machine and not something any PCI bus machine I'm aware of followed, and 2) used

That's not surprising. At the speed DDR4 runs, PCB design has to account for all sorts of weird effects. Adding the additional traces on the adapter probably pushes all sorts of timing over acceptable thresholds. There's a reas

JBOD arrays are still a thing. They've even evolved a bit (see: UnRaid).

Oh, yeah...I remember those. I prolly have one in a box someplace. They were pretty terrible. :-)

That's a fair take and likely the answer. I would counter tho that 1) this isn't the first time there's been a memory price/supply crunch, and "I've got a drawer full of last gen memory I can't use" i

Go back and read beyond the first sentence; you'll see I said exactly that.

I dunno...I can envision something vibecoded prioritizing passing test suites producing something that does that, but isn't even functional in real-world production. Sort of like in the pre-AI world, where someone claims 'standar

I have always wondered why there was never a big market[1] for "cheap PCI/PCI-X/PCI-e card you can stick a boatload of your old/surplus/n-generation old simms/dimms on and use as swap/slow memory/ram

Or, you could look at your peer answers where people very much do provide a non hand-wave answers. Chip fabrication isn't undergrad philosophy; there are well understood reasons for why things are done if you care to find and understa

I run conceptually the same thing, but on FreeBSD instead of Debian. Different set of trade offs; not per se better or worse, just different, and in the end works just as well.

That does sound a bit agressive. To be clear, South Korea doesn't so much 'claim the entirety of the Korean Peninsula' as much as it aims to unify the entire peninsula into a single country through peaceful means (at least,

Yeah...using anything other than an Apple Approved(tm) scsi disk (or, really, anything 'not Apple') was an adventure. One of my least favorite Unixen, frankly. SVR2 based when most of the world on the AT&T side of Unix was S

Ton's of people ran w2k as a 'better desktop windows'. I did, and pretty much all the developers I knew back then did.

It's on a public IP, but isn't open to public users. I don't personally think 'the place I scribble stuff I want to remember down the road' is a blog, but I'm equally uninterested in arguing a distinction I do

I blog stuff I want to remember I have a wiki for that, but I keep reading the Arbiters of the Internet around here claim wikis are even deader than personal blogs, so what do I know. :-)

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure A/UX didn't use any of the toolbox roms and had it's own drivers (we had the source). A/UX booted from a MacOS partition because the Mac bootloader only understood b

Also, swapping through 26 floppies to install would have been... Something. We installed it from a QIC tape when it wasn't delivered on a SCSI hard drive. Not sure if that option was generally available tho; we were doing kernel dev
