I toured the Lehi “fab” in high school in 2002 or 2003. It’s still the largest emptiest building I have ever been in. I think something like 5% or less of the square footage was used. Supposedly it used more concrete than I-15.

Mysql, Postgres and Oracle are closer than ever in functionality, but I don’t think postgres/mysql alone can compare to “Oracle”, but if you compare postgres+greenplum/citus/XL or mysql+Vittess to Oracle+RAC that’s pretty clo

Most working undergrads (RAs) in the physics department at my university had been trained in the Physics department machine shop at some point in time, so it was common for them. Probably the only program outside ME where that was true

It would be cool if you could mark whitespace only changes at least with an option to smart-skip them with `git blame` or something

Using JWT in the browser id an anti-pattern for a different reason: they can easily balloon over 4kB if you have groups as claims and now you got to split them and a bunch of other things that are annoying. On the backend you get similar is

Not the first but there’s not a ton of people who can squirrel away $5B in a Roth IRA, so likely the most egregious.

Which is to also say that I think these clubs tended to skew towards a white middle-class without a college education. That is a declining demographic.

They have been in a slow decline, along with unions, middle class, and manufacturing, during the rise of the internet and globalization.

People are not homogenous, and that includes both managers and employees. I’ve been working remote for the majority of 2.5 years now and I’m okay with it but it’s not great. Some coworkers absolutely lost empathy when they stopped seeing o

This is why it’s great to focus on Siam if you play with that one person who always focuses on AU.

Dave is 95% theatrics (faux shock jockey?) and usually those are around technique (though sometimes a food is inseparable from technique) so maybe I am more forgiving in that scenario. Cooking Issues is fundamentally a podcast about failure

by prpl 5y ago
You are right, I stopped caring around that time (~3 years ago). That said, the science explanations are occasionally wrong. If you like science of cooking you might enjoy Cooking Issues/Dave Arnold quite a bit more. I generally prefer

That's different though "it's not real X unless you make it with Y" is about authenticity. I did not bring up authenticity in the criticism. You are right - Kenji rarely cares about authenticity or tradition. That's

by prpl 5y ago
Kenji is very good but also highly opinionated, often bordering on food snob. That’s fine, he’s often right but not always. I think that feeds into this problem: People following him will seek out “the best/perfect XYZ” which he looks

A part of Taligent lives on with ROOT, which was very annoying.

I feel the opposite -this speaks to me more than any other device I’ve seen, but I was obsessed with calculator games in high school, spending many hours on ticalc.org and IRC.

You're familiar with the Numerical Recipes books?

That’s not particularly surprising. I spent a lot of time on an army base in mid aughts as an undergrad for a similar reason, decommissioning an astrophysics project.

This is something CharlieCloud was built around for HPC and something podman can work around. User namespaces and fuse-overlayfs are the building blocks to fix this

I understand most of what you are saying, and it isn’t pleasant in many cases but I think the situation is improving. Yes, all that happens, and most project computing (Office of Science) is usually pushed to NERSC, but it really depends on

Perlmutter is a new kind of supercomputer - It’s mini-cloud disguised as a supercomputer smaller DOE projects to funnel their compute to. Cori was kind of that too, but IIRC kind of on accident because the Xeon Phi wasn’t available during d

I am not sure about LBNL overall but I would guess computing use is a fraction of what the ALS uses.

couple of extra hints: Python 2 but can be ported forward without much effort. Manifest.mbdb is now Manifest.plist (there's a sqlite thing now too). timestamp sql might not work so great, would need to check query.

I have not used it for a very long time, so I can't comment to how well it works. That said, this is it: https://gist.github.com/brianv0/35f36a32366a2c34be8d (You need an unencrypted backup directory to run it ove

I had done something too, but I also needed a Manifest.mbdb parser to reconstruct backup to disk, then process the messages and copy all the images around to make it work. I did it mostly to make a simple-to-read archive of chats before del
