It’s just a lesson in worse is (often) better. If you can do some most of the job with something that is either cheaper, easier to build, or easier to iterate on, then it will often overtake a better engineered solution.

This is a dumb comment trying to pass the buck IMO. Of course it's a national lab, but probably a specific group at a national lab (potentially even in a Office of Science arm) going through their support channels at Cray/HPE to g

I don’t know, I haven’t seen a great replacement. The only things that come/came close are things like Elks Lodge, VFW, Country Clubs/sports clubs, and things like that. I don’t think most of these have thrived into in the 21st ce

You forgot IRC. Most the bad stuff I saw on the internet ~99/2000 was from IRC. I had the unfortunate idea to nick myself TheGiver after the novel at 14.

Ah yeah, I did love twilight zone. I was thinking more contemporary though. I tried to watch a few, like this PKD series on amazon, Oats studios things, some others.

I’ve read 5 of the books, I’m fine with the adaptation. The books all but make it impossible to have continuity of characters in any real way, which would make for a weird show, IMO. This is fundamentally different than LOTR which does have

You can’t trivially plug grafana in front of any SQL database, and grafana is more about graphing/plotting (usually time series).

700W per customer dedicated for Netflix seems incredibly high - basically saying a 1u is dedicated per customer (no TV power consumption) or half of a 1U factoring in a 52” TV (admittedly I’m omitting network power costs, transcoding, etc…)

Which models are y'all using out there on HN, and for what square footage/location? I'm in SF and have a gas heater, but a 115 year old house with only 4 vents (none in bedrooms), and it's been cold. I'd like to rep

My grief was, of course, more meta - I’m merely criticizing her criticizing people who criticized her - so don’t criticize me about it. My real beef was about how things went down. She sold her apartment, checked into the brutal reality of

I feel basketball, baseball and soccer are much more enjoyable from a social perspective than football, especially for a comparable price. Maybe at $300 football is enjoyable, but the stadiums are massive, and the cost means you’re much les

you might want to entertain the possibility that, due to these limitations, there’s much less families in the city, as a 3BR apartment is rare and a 4 BR apartment unheard of. In Europe and even south America, that’s not typically the case.

I don’t know where you got that climate zone information, but I don’t think it’s true. New Mexico has more koppen climates areas than Texas, and Arizona too (and also California). Texas is undeniably huge though - I have driven El Paso to
