It looks neat but, no Java SDK? Every company I've personally worked at is deeply reliant on Spring or the vanilla clients to produce/consume to Kafka 90% of the time. This kind of precludes even a casual PoC.

Is INT 2fH the DOS equivalent of PATH? What a bizarre mechanism, I've read it 2 times and I have no idea what it's saying lol: http://vitaly_filatov.tripod.com/ng/asm/asm_011.16.html

I find myself agreeing with a lot of these “gnostic” interpretations tbh. When you read stuff like Numbers 14, God just comes off as a total asshole lol Although the whole theology they cooked up around the “true god” reads like bad fan fic

I agree with the criticism though, the Foleo looked like some kind of internet appliance anachronism straight out of 1998. I was fully on board the Palm train too (rip Pre)

The timing of Xserve was just extremely bad. It was a latecomer to an already saturated market of proprietary UNIX hardware that was already spiraling downward. Once the iPhone was a hit and was printing infinite money Apple had no reason t

A week? Nah. I’ve routinely taken two weeks to burn off PTO. A month straight is probably a hard sell though, yes.

It’s a funny artifact because most people today use, and have only used Linux in a “single user” context. The “local system administrator” is me!

It’s not bad but Congee is pretty much peasant gruel like grits or porridge. If you go out of your way to try it just set your expectations correctly lol

“I can not do that on OpenBSD without a huge headache and very bad performance.” This applies to practically everything, not just virtualization!

The "mini" Windows 3.1 it came with was pretty much fully functional though, you could literally boot directly into PROGMAN.EXE as the main Windows 95 shell.

Wild speculation with zero evidence since no one else is: it wasn't broken, and the US/CIA intentionally moved it so they could communicate with agents in SA/Chile (during Allende etc)

The development and scope creep sounds a lot like what happened with Perl 6 ;P

Theres actually a whole website about it! I found it useful when I was doing deeper research into ElasticSearch: https://roaringbitmap.org

MacOS should really have some kind of capabilities based Darwin containers, rather than what seems like a giant tangle of blacklists.

Gospel of Thomas actually has one of my favorite parables. It really stuck in my mind since I read it: "The Kingdom of the Father is like a woman who takes a vessel of flour and sets out on a long road. The handle of the vessel broke:

I've been maintaining a Go app for about 9 years now and I can just upgrade the Go version + mod for vulnerabilities (GitHub tells me about them automatically idk) and it works with no changes 99% of the time. I can't overstate ho

There's more comparisons in the forum, looks like the single core increase is insane. My wallet is ready for the Mac Studio, Timmy!

I don't think Ballmer was underrated as CEO personally (windows phone lol) but goddamn he's the platonic ideal of a hype guy. The amount of energy and enthusiasm emanating from him is always incredible. I'd at least say there

You pretty casually dismiss the value of being able to run big models, when it's literally impossible on a mobile Geforce in a lot of cases since they max out at 16GB!
