A Kafka consumer does a lot of work coordinating distributed clients in a group, managing the current offset, balancing the readers across partitions, etc which is native broker functionality. Saying you can replace it all with a simple JDB

It’s funny this came up, because it was kinda similar to the whole “AI frauds” thing these days. I don’t particularly remember why, but “hand writing” fancy HTML and CSS used to be a flex in some circles in the 90s. A bunch of junk and stuf

That isn't true. The "loop tape" was already like 20 years old IIRC, it was already disintegrated by 9/11

Frankly the amount of outrageous deranged shit I saw on IRC and Usenet as a preteen kinda makes me conflicted on this point, whether the internet is "worse" today. Like, I had already seen the gaping asshole of goatse probably hun

TBF my boomer parents didn't monitor a single thing I did on the internet, so I kinda doubt it's some unique failure of contemporary parents.

My LinkedIn feed has been unrelentingly depressing recently, more than anything. Every time I log in it’s former coworkers posting about how they have been jobless for a year+ or posts like “I was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer, goo

Boot loaders like GRUB etc only work with UEFI/BIOS to state the obvious.

On the other hand: dealing with 14.04 is practically cutting edge compared to stuff still using AIX and HPUX, which were outdated even 20 years ago lol

From my observations over the years a lot of “services” should literally just be features in stuff that already exists. Like Flink should have just been under MSK instead of the confusing mess it has gone through (first branded as part of K

FWIW when I do txt2img or img2img locally I have the batch set to 8-12 (so 12 variation images are generated from the same seed in the same gen) so it’s fairly easy to numerically end up with tens of thousands, which are usually 99% not goo

The more mileage you get, the easier it is to see the mistakes in your old art (if you’re improving lol) The more refined your technique is, the harder it will be to discern mistakes and aesthetic failures. Eventually you might come to a po

Changing a pad/disc/caliper isn’t “hard” but it’s time consuming and very messy. Most people probably don’t find spending 2 hours getting the car jacked, tires off, etc to be a good or enjoyable use of time!

I’ve had people be very confused and perplexed when I told them awk is a programming language in the past lol. Most seem to think it’s solely a tool like sort or uniq etc

You can modify a consumer groups offset to any value JFYI, so you really don’t need to purge the topic. You can just start after the bad message.

Very cool, using the DGX like an “AI eGPU.” I wonder if this could also benefit stuff like Stable Diffusion/WAN etc?

Windows 95 had a bunch of stuff from 3.1 built in too. You could use progman as the default shell, it had file manager, etc.

No joke: I worked at an MSP and we onboarded a huge client, we were supposed to handle their network provisioning/problems through a dedicated service desk ticketing system. After the B team set everything up, they didn't even get

Perceptually, it helps to take scrutiny off the current spend? It isn't a bubble if you can just scoff at $100 billion and say like" "thats pocket change, this will actually require 10 quadrillion dollars!!"

This isn't exactly true. Marginalism, which is basically taught to the exclusion of any other economic value theory, is largely from Menger.

“blog as a social network” was/is pretty much Tumblr. Most of the content was structured as posts and updates on your personal page. You didn’t even need to engage with the social part. It’s hard to explain the difference between it an
