18TB drives didn’t exist back when this setup was designed. Of course a 3 bay with 128TB drives would also be superior, but this comment only makes sense in a few years.

I wish he had talked more about his movie collection. I’m interested in the methods of selecting initial items as well as ones that survive in the collection for 10+ years.

It’s hard to compare prices for 10 nearby Taco Bells in the Taco Bell app. This site makes it quite easy.

I rarely replace batteries. I have three phones in use and 2 iPads. I’ve had this config for 10+ years. I’ve replaced a battery once. Maybe I’m just lucky. But I also don’t view having to charge during the day as a problem that I need to fi

It’s not like I have to look at them all at once. I wish there were 10,000 photos. I’d go through them an hour at a time.

Me? Even more so. I’d feed them into iPhoto and separate out photos of people and common things. Then I would look at the metadata to see what geolocations and dates reveal hai vacation patterns. Finally, I’d just randomly browse through to

I typically keep mine for about 3-4 years. I’ve never replaced the battery. And I’ve never met anyone who replaces their battery after a year and a half. At least not an iPhone.

Ha, sorry autocorrect changed my “the goal isn’t” to “the goal is.” I agree with you and mistyped. I really need to proof my comments better. I think the goal is not harmony but value and beauty.

I also don’t want companies to have to have offices in every country where they operate. X is big enough but it’s silly of Brazil to require a literal physical presence. They can serve whatever they need electronically to wherever X is thes

Free speech destabilizes society. It’s a suitable price to pay, I think. The goal is absolute harmony. Especially at the expense of rights.

I once ate at a falafel restaurant in Jerusalem that was 1,000 years old. I think there’s many restaurants that last a long time, but they aren’t what I’d consider a “large” company.

There aren’t any examples of state run businesses this old, right? It seems like at 1,500 years governments aren’t robust enough to survive. So any business run by a government would not survive the political upheavals.

It seems like it’s easier to just let them decompose than to get rid of the necropheliacs. I think this is a situation if “of course no one wants necropheliacs, but we’re all ears as to how you drum them out” so the practical hack of just l

It’s unfortunate you don’t want to discuss the merits of my argument. Not to give out advice, but if your aim isn’t to learn and debate and change minds and be changed, what’s your point? Do you just want to make noise or something? I would

Exactly. It’s their choice as the creator. And they can change their mind as much as they like. It’s cool being a programmer because we have such autonomy over our actions and our creations.

Satellite internet from other providers that’s available at a higher price. But that’s not relevant. Because starlink is usable by everyone. Do you think they should have some way to prevent mining companies from using it? Is there a law in

Developers willingly choose to donate their work under an OSS license. So yes there are costs and thankfully people release without the expectation. It’s perfectly fine to sell your software. There’s trillions of dollars worth of companies

But starlink does that for everyone. They don’t do anything special for mining. Just like the mining operations use petroleum to mine. Petroleum directly enabled mining. Mining uses electricity. Electricity directly enabled mining. Directly

It’s the license type that matters, not how development is funded. Postgres’ license is similar to BSD so even if Microsoft made and was the sole developer and sold it, anyone could distribute or sell it or whatever regardless of who contri

Different argument altogether. Starlink does nothing special to enable mining. Thousands of people and industries use it. It’s just infrastructure. I’m not arguing for replacements. I’m arguing that it’s stupid to blame infrastructure for t

Chainsaws are used as well. And fossil fuels. And electricity. I’m sure if the Feds raid gold mining they’ll find some copper wires and other infrastructure.

In my experience people who care or get hung up on this term are not people I think are great programmers/coders. I like programming because it’s easy to ignore labels and just look at output to see if they are terrible or decent. Take
