In 99% of cases, checking and savings accounts do not impact your credit score whatsoever. The only cases where they do are cases where the bank does an inquiry when you _open_ the account, but closing any checking/savings account shou

It's hard to make 100% timeliness guarantees when the courier that's carrying money from one place to another dies on its way. How would they have a redundant courier?

I'd say in 10 years the majority of new kernel modules will be written in Rust, but old code won't be rewritten just for the sake of rewriting in Rust (except maybe a select few where such a rewrite is identified as beneficial)

Even if there was a patent nightmare at some point, like you said the hardware ceased to be manufactured 30 years ago. I doubt AmigaOS is still covered under any patents.

Scanning through a CSV can be quite close to querying a SQL database in performance when the SQL database doesn't have any indices. The primary benefits of using a SQL database for querying are (1) indices and (2) a declarative query l

The problem is that the Thunderbolt ports don't support that bandwidth, and there isn't any other way to connect PCIe peripherals.

You could probably run a QDR+QSFP Infiniband card at around 32Gbps (minus overhead) through an external "GPU" enclosure. I don't see why MPI wouldn't work on Asahi Linux with such a setup once there's Thunderbolt su
