I admit it’s sometimes painful to self-host your SMTP service, but that’s because it was very painless to send massive amounts of spam and very painful to throttle and filter messages, but we have much better tooling now.

I would also be very sad to lose one of my best coworkers. Everybody in the office treats Claude as their own assistant. Just today Claude reminded me I forgot to add a database zone migration to my fault-injection experiment. Not only he r

The fact nobody reinvented e-mail on top of a different set of standards is a good indication that the current stack is not as broken as some people would like to think. It reminds me of a previous life, at a previous time, when everybody r

The internet was conceived to be something very different from the web we all know and loathe. Anyway, I think GP was referring to building community centres, schools, libraries, and caring for vulnerable people. Those, it seems, were fully

The good thing of the iPhone is that your next phone is just like the previous one, but faster. Some features are added, some change places and some are even removed or replaced, but it doesn't compare to, say, move from a Motorola to

Maybe a year from now we'll all be using MI300As and EPYC 9600s to read e-mails. Or Nvidia Veras, maybe AWS will sell some of their Graviton stuff in an effort to offset their capex. Unfortunately, I don't think IBM Cloud will suf

I kind of look forward to Oracle's demise. Maybe they sell the remains of Solaris and SPARC to someone who'll make something useful out of that IP, maybe even a nice product. I sincerely hope, when all this madness ends, there wil

By the time we have a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon, I assume we can just lay a couple hundred kilometers of fiber to the nearest settlement. The border of the disk, from Earth's perspective, is prime scientific real esta

As far as I'm concerned, CD-35 2722 B can self identify however they want. If they want to identify as a planet, however, they can claim the almost unique distinction of having a gas giant as their moon. I wonder if the gas giant itsel

I would love more LEDs to see the clock flowing through the processor, but that would be a LOT of LEDs. Maybe someone could invent an SMD transistor with a built-in LED.

My kid was curious about my HP-35 and I taught them how it works. They got it in no time and I made it an exercise to rewrite math expressions in RPN. Not sure they are that interested in programming, but FORTH is a little sweet language. M
