I am a happy customer of their cheapest baremetal arm server since 2015. Maybe they could publish the number or available servers of each kind so that clients could organize accordingly.

In general pilots are very smart. In the case of AF447, they were not so good. Airbus and Boeing are building smarter engines to help pilots. This seems like a good idea. The problem is the illusion that a smarter aircraft requires less tra

We are speaking of userspace generated between 1992 and 1995. At that time, linux was installed from floppy disks. Do you think there is someone who still has a floppy drive, who needs recent versions of linux and who has so old programms s

Yes. There are different kinds of programmers, different way of thinking. Just as there are personality tests, there could be tests to identify what type of developer you are to select a set of tools and configurations that are better match

I am in the mindset that arm servers are the future. I have already some sites on arm. The issues with IME give a bad image of Intel. Monopolys are never good... But when Linus says: "And the only way that changes is if you end up sayi

No. When you are flying high (at the route flight level), air becomes less dense and the stall speed increases a lot (expressed in true air speed). When a flight is at its highest available flight level, the range of available speeds is ver

I think it is important to remember that the number of nuclear-related deaths is unrivalled compared to the mortality from oil-related conflicts or mortality from coal pollution. Mortality per kilowatt for electrovoltaics is very high due t

Every country in the world has become dependent on the Internet. If ever, on the impulse of a poorly-minded president, the United States decides to sanction a country by cutting off its access to the Internet, this country would find itself

When you increase the size of an aircraft, you reduce the discomfort associated with weather conditions. If the occupancy rate is good, you also increase fuel efficiency. To have good occupancy rate, you need to organize and to have many ai

When coding from a well maintained specification, I always try to find an architecture where the structure of the code mimics the structure of the specfication. This way, maintenance of the code becomes a lot easier. Sometimes, there are so

When you give money to redhat, you buy insurance that if you encounter a problem, they will support you. It is expencive, but there is clearly a lot of work involved in producing new release. IMHO redhat deserves its money. When you give mo

IMHO, I think the audience is me. I can program (perl, java, c++). I know that php is easy but that there are many traps. I need a book to be able to develop quickly with sane practices. The official documentation contains too much old crus

For coders, it is the equivalent of MVP. The coder gather pieces of code and/or documentation to have something to show. The feedback helps to finalize narrative and make stuff coherent.
