One reason to go to the Bay Area. And timely, given the post about the Bauhaus a few days ago.

If it's safe for ducks it's safe for planes, right? Because they both fly.

Well it should specify the thickness, length, and width of the keycard, since brands might change vendors And of course it should specify which way it should be inserted. And it needs to specify the amount of bend allowable given some amoun

How does the latest ZFS bug impact your bitrot statement? I mean, technically it’s not bitrot if zeros were accidentally written out instead of data.

I guess the question for Boeing is simple: is it better to be incompetent or negligent? Boeing might believe that they have hit rock bottom...or their PR firm might believe that. There are miles more to go before they hit bottom. I mean, if

I remember those days, and really, slow file transfer > no file transfer. OTOH I was on thinnet at the time. And who really had 115kbps at the time? That'a dual ISDN, which was used by pretty much nobody. It's not like IPX woul

Well, people needed to filter out AppleTalk on the WAN side. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people didn't - and those T1s were expensive.

The reason AppleTalk was chatty was to make discovery easier. Unlike the corporate solutions, AT was peer-to-peer. Ut who are your peers? Uh, well, hmm. That was also when networking was new, and chatty on thinnet meant lower bandwidth. To

"The bigger lesson to take from the above: don't build to last too long" In the world of the Rich Third World, houses are almost always torn down after they're bought. It's actually pretty bad, because those houses

And yet, Frank Lloyd Wright made the wrong concrete choices at Falling Water. If he couldn't get it right then the average Joe won't get it right either.

Back in the day the Consuls were in charge of the calendar, and some of them paid more attention to that particular job than others. Precise time really started with the railroads. Before that, well, you got there when you got there.

Because homo sapiens survived and the others did not. Homo Sapiens beat natural selection and became more generalized instead of more specialized...for whatever reason. In fact, there is no reason, really, unless you believe the Mesopotamia

While they raise god points, the data itself is probably less accurate than the dataset owned by Ookla/speedtest. The addresses and map really are pretty irrelevant. You can get all that data from open street maps. The real nice to hav

Why not just set up a replica pgsql, then break the connection and upgrade it to primary? It's amusing how much effort is put into ETL these days. I remember when ETL departments were filled with the sludge of the programming world. It

"people are naturally at peace" That's blatantly incorrect - mainly because of the use of the world "people." While the vast majority of humanity is peaceful, a substantial minority of people are naturally inclined

Seems pretty straightforward. It's too bad there isn't direct redis integration into the database. Everyone always has to write their own method of doing that. Did they reduce the query cache size in mysql, since redis essentially

Heinz dominance of the market is evidence that you're wrong. I occasionally try other ketchup brands, and they really aren't "better" in any dimension that I can discern. They're different, but ultimately unsatisfyi

Realistically speaking, the authorities are trying to contain a panic. From what I understand banks are loaning money to commercial real estate firms and those firms are using those loans to make payments, just so they don't default -

You can believe in a world without conflict if you want. It'll serve you well right up until the time you get put up against the wall and killed by someone who doesn't share your beliefs.

The article totally ignores the fact that there have been 900 crashes reported since 2021, which is a ridiculously low number of crashes. This is basically a Tesla hit piece. Teslas are safer than human drivers by far, even when the systems

I believe the re-pair process is a side effect of how security was implemented. I also heard it was technically possible to migrate without pairing, but i think right now it's between hubs from the same manufacturer. It's been yea

One of the things in media is that shit happens and you get what you get on an extreme timeline and you deal with it. One month is about 29.9 days too long. Someone accidentally encoded it with a codec you don't support? Too bad, you g

Netflix is a company that works with media people. You either understand what that implies or you don't. And remember, this is the backend for video encoding. Issues in this aren't necessarily user visible. The big benefit to thei

QUIC: let's build an application-specific protocol on top of UDP and call it a day. So really, is it faster? Does it reduce the amount of load on network devices? Does it allow a server to serve more connections more quickly than the e
