Outrage at this is misguided at best. Because it's AI. Got it.

I had a client complain that some software we recommended installed a database. How fucking dare we install this giant blob of software without his consent! It was MySQL, and integral to the application. So what's your solution? A

Wait until you see what CPUs have done since then...

This is an ad, not a spec sheet. The vast majority of the people buying this understand the endurance and retention characteristics of this type of device. It isn't going on Amazon or Best Buy, and the target market knows how to ask

What accounts for the premium price/TB of these extremely high capacity enterprise-targeted drives? The extremely high capacity and the enterprise targeting.

Ug. I picked up a 16TB hard disk last year for about $250. Went looking for another one last month and the same disk is about $500. Painful.

If it means eBay stops front-loading every search I make with car parts in thier latest market 'pivot' I'm for it. They can dispense with shoving the tacky 'live auction' stuff and constant 'are you sure you d

Not that that isn't a possibility (now muted), but you don't have to speculate on a grand conspiracy when 'just an asshole' will suffice.

I think you need to do a little more research before you give the poor, poor little author of 'that project' a pass.

The people on HN might be surprised by how little the average naive software-adjacent person knows about intellectual property law. I've been following it since I was 12, but most people barely know what a trademark is let alone what

Hadn't noticed gambling...they keep shoving car parts into everything I look for. And their insipid live auction wannabe QVC Network nonsense.

I can't imagine how interesting your childhood must have been where you had not one but 2 VT-100s that were expendable enough to be used as the high-tech version of two tin cans and a string.

There is absolutely zero proof that more years would mean more accomplishments. Bad assumptions are bad assumptions even in fantasy land. No-brainer indeed.

That would mean not being able to vibe code up an entire app to deal with something as insurmountable as looking at a list of numbers and post it on HN for those sweet, sweet upvotes. Why would they not do that.

Only if you are paying them. If you don't have a service contract for RHEL, you have no grounds to sue.

What is sad is having a world view where the value of a human life is duration, not accomplishment.

"un-hacker ethos". I'll put that on the shelf next to "it's only an engineering problem" and "assume a spherical cow".

Oof...I know of at least 1 embedded shop still using 2.95.4 for various 'reasons'.

Sorry to derail...but that brought up some bad memories. The networking company Wellfleet (became Bay Networks thru merger with Synoptics, then died as a chunk of Nortel Networks) had a management tool called 'Site Manager' (SM,

Often in mathematics (and by extension most science I guess), when something is named after someone, it usually means there's a huge amount going on behind the scenes if you start looking.

The cynic would say primers on basic stuff are easy to create even if you're not really any sort of expert in the area, so people create a lot of them and lots of people who also aren't expert think that's great. This, howeve

Well, sure. My point is, as a consumer product , betamax did not deliver on its promise to the consumer that bought it . It's really not important at which stage of content production and distribution the promises got lost (and I t

This is the classic vintage computing pissing contest...it's been argued by geniuses and cretins and it's hubris to think you have the One True Answer. The Z80 is a 4-bit processor (it's ALU is double pumped and 4-bits wide),

I found a nearly new daisy wheel printer in my storage. Something like this might be a good use of it.

At that time (open to corrections) not a lot of scientific research was done on consumer intel platforms. We had researchers doing what I suppose might be called HPC on Sequent Symmetrys, which were i386s in the mid-80s and Pentiums by th
