It's a full, separate system on a USB stick. This means it will need to patched and maintained, and that apps and dats will still need the usual back-and-forth sync of multiple systems.

Yup. Seems like pointless, instant-gratification consumerism when server boxes are far faster, cheaper and greener. Worse, it's an un-upgradable device to buy and throw away. Anyone that needs more horsepower, it's far simpler

L7 SPI is expensive whereas simple routing of 1 Gbps usually demands only a single core and 64-128 MiB of RAM. Large production shops have such FE load balancer / router boxes in HA mode (ie CARP) that barely break a sweat.

A big issue worth watching: AOL, the largest pro net neutrality spender, could be gobbled up by one of the largest net neutrality opponents.

If this were so, the single biggest champion of net neutrality in monetary terms would be silenced by one of its biggest villains.

The subset LALR(1) is pretty simple. Table with states that can shift or reduce, and finally accept or error. It's not too hard to get the dragon book and write an LALR(1) parser for a calculator by hand. Plenty of lectures out the

Regardless of legalities, this sort of show lacks taste or any shred of class, and merely tarnishes the hospital's name in pursuit of PR branding. And it's a travesty what was done to that family. This is one time I hope their la

TAOE is an awesome book. Leave it to physicists to write a proper electronics textbook. (The op amp circuit diagram is also neat.)

RS needs work contribution from each Ruby to make it sustainable. It would also show leadership from MRI to encourage a semi-independent Ruby self-test framework that can run on any Rubyish interpreter. (Granted RS has RBX bias, but it wou

The article begs the question: Will it be completely free or behind yet another artificial but officially-sanctioned paywall and login like PACER.gov? The article clearly didn't any meaningful research because PACER and similar state&

Exactly. Should open source patent this.

Yeap. They're usually out in the desert with a central heating tower at some foci... Much too easy to have an unintentional BBQ party.

Cost and sustainability swamp density for sure. Now if these things could be made without conflict materials or "artisanal miners" risking being buried in unsanctioned strip mining.

There are plenty of uses for a temperature difference that don't require arbitrary conversions to and from electricity. Furthermore, if an application desires electricity instead of a heat source, the Stirling cycle generators are t

Ah, and pklite pro and lzexe from the olden days for winDOwS shit once upon a time. Though the goal should be generating less code. Link in fewer dependencies, reduce features, DRY up duplicate logic and cut LoC. Also compile with -DNDEBU

As an aside, the bicycle roads in the Netherlands are extremely well-organized. The U.S. and other countries should borrow this format for inter- and intracity cycling. Most U.S. bicycle paths are like road signs in rural Germany: few and

In China, KFC used to require reservations. (!!) Pretty hilarious. In the US, McDs is a house of horrors. Look at the Palo Alto location: bathroom from hell even the devil wouldn't use, terribly underpaid/unmotivated staff and wo

Use the search engine remove url tools to get rid of stuff after you've cleaned up. Each major search engine usually has a way to do that. It won't erase Twitter and internet archives, but it's a start.

Yup. Do that all anonymously. Anyone that is socially Googleable is hard to hire unless the goal is to go into hard blogging/journalism like vice or the intercept. If you do use strong language or make bold claims, be sure to have m

I've worked in university/clinical medical IT too. Large universities are great for consulting IT practices because each dept is like a separate client. Work there for a year or three and then setup your own shop to bill back t

Yup. It's possible to show massive value by doing the job of the talent agency by finding your own jobs. The downside is that the ratio of interest of you going out and looking is 1% of someone coming and finding you via LinkedIn, gi

America: where you may have to lie and sell everything to be treated like a criminal to get help to survive. Srsly though, the rules aren't created to help people, they're created to deny services to freeloaders and people that

Cool! And the things you don't get to do professionally can become hobbies :) Military (army, navy, Air Force, marines, coast guard) has tons of logistics service jobs, and will pay for university. My stepbrother started off as a na

Generic observations that may not apply: Survival depends on doing things with which we are uncomfortable or expending greater efforts elsewhere. Education is great if you teach yourself basic math, writing and so on, but education is most

Read "steal this book" and don't get caught. (Ignore the militancy anarchist cookbook stuff and addresses which are mostly outdated... It's a practical urban survival guide overall. It's a pdf that's widely a
