The batch scheduler? I swear that I used to run it on my Mac (I know I ran SGE, but I’m 90% sure I installed SLURM at some point). Are you trying to run Mac jobs or Linux jobs? Is there a reason you need to run it in Docker (which still r

Does it at least mark the end of an era? Even if it doesn’t have any legal meaning, it could still mark a significant milestone — especially if you look at the future of the language. It’s now in the hands of the next generation of maintain

In this context, I think of two things: hackable spying and data exfiltration. If a device runs processes that can be hacked so that it can report on your activities. Capturing the display or keyboard input would be examples. This generally

In some industries, anything that “computes” or has a data connection is strictly regulated. If data can move in or out, it needs to be verified. So, if you want to avoid those validation steps, it would need to be a dumb device without an

I don’t know about the third group. I don’t think that many people cover DC like the Washington Post. There is value in more regional/niche journalism, but it certainly doesn’t pay like a national presence does. Whether or not they lea

Not even just common formats, but way back, Mail was delivered by copying files from one server to another. I (barely) remember using UUCP before SMTP/NNTP to sync Mail and news. So, the format that you stored messages in was very impo

If you’re worried about the bursting of the AI bubble, then whatever you do, don’t look up “AI winter”. This has all happened before and will happen again.

This is an unforced error, but it isn’t minor. It’s quite large and public. The general public doesn’t understand the details and nuances of training an LLM, the various data sources required, and how to get them. But the public does unders

This is funny. About 10 years ago, I had bonded ADSL for my internet (yay sonic.net). The idea being that two lines bonded together would have twice as much bandwidth as a single line. Each line had a max rate of 20Mbps, so I had a max of 4

It’s also training dependent. It took a long time for Perl to go away from daily use in bioinformatics, solely dependent upon how common it was twenty years ago. In our lab, there is me, a (mid career) polyglot who mixes Python, Go, Java, a

Thank you for posting this. These are the types of details that you just don’t get unless the author has really worked through these issues in depth. Best of luck with the project!

I love this concept (and I’m probably in that market segment). But, I didn’t see any examples on your landing page. It would be really nice if you had one or two examples to show off what a resulting site would look like.

Apple also hasn’t been afraid of cannibalizing their own market in favor of one with a bigger upside (eg iPod -> iPhone). It’s not that Apple has an aversion to multi-use devices, just that there is more upside to not having them. Let’s

In my experience, you’re going to pay for that complexity at some point. You either pay it at the write end or the read/query end. I don’t see a way around that, so if PG explicitly makes it so that you pay it once on the write, I’m go

I agree that that dichotomy is on display here quite often. And it isn’t a good mindset. Making for the sake of making and learning should be celebrated. I just didn’t get that vibe from the now flagged comment by @aragilar. I saw it as a g

Why even have the first tunnel? You could do the entire thing out of hand over a web interface or other mechanism. If the public address of the WG server (or the authn server) is known and available, then there’s no real difference in setti

I'm not sure I even follow... The primary point of user-authentication is that we need to be able to read/write data and programs. So you have to have a user-level authentication mechanism someplace to be able to read and write

For HPC, there are two different contexts where users need to be considered - interactive use and batch job processing. Users login to a cluster, write their scripts, work with files, etc. This is your typical user account stuff. But they a

Multi-user clusters are still quite common in HPC. And I think you're not going to see a switch away from multi-user systems anytime soon. Single user systems like laptops might be a good use-case, but even the laptop I'm using no

No, I’m not conflating them. I do appreciate why they are written with geographical clauses, but I have always found it odd (and probably unenforceable). I’m just saying that non-competes like this should be regulated under Federal author

Where I am, I know people who are under noncompetes that have a geographical clause. You can’t leave to join a competitor within X miles. In my part of the country, that would include at least three states (maybe more), but other locations

(2019) Things have changed substantially, especially regarding the availability of OLED gaming oriented monitors. CRTs were great (especially the Trinitrons), but they were stupid heavy. I’d much rather have an OLED today.

Lustre started out as a research project in 1999, before commercialization and release. I assume this means more was publicly available about the design prior to the patents being filed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Not reading the patents, having a metadata server separate from the stored object data has been around for a long time. For example: IIRC, Lustre does this and was around well before the cloud (to the point where any patents that may have a
