Honestly given how lots and lots of things just build on Debian, seems easier to me to just use an off the shelf older Supermicro motherboard with an plain IT mode SAS HBA and something like an Enthoo Pro case and just call it a day running

No, I had the exact same thoughts. I personally find it crazy to think that you'd buy something (that isn't an explicit perishable or consumable) and intentionally buy something shoddy or discard it after only a few weeks. With re

This is basically just Forth or Factor.

Honestly this is why I just buy Supermicro workstation boards with BMCs for everything. No need to mess with third party stuff or guess if the vendor's WoL is going to work right (or deal with the possibility you need to hard restart t

The images are also irritating and jarring when you notice that the bokeh is fake and that they're all AI generated (and AI generated images have really headache inducing depth of field effects).

I see Brother is going with the Lexmark strategy. Maybe they'll wake up before they end up in as bad if shape as Lexmark has wound up in.

That's a whole lot of words to just carry water for a bunch of anti-user stuff Apple continues to inflict on their Stockholm Syndrome afflicted customers. The whole water proofing thing is dumb--why is it that every digital watch I&#x2

The MLA30+ is ok if you throw away the crappy bias tee power injector that comes with it and replace the coax with something a little more durable. There's other gear like the cross country wireless loops that aren't much more exp

Honestly if we could just make the pirates around 6950 a little more tacitly legit (I mean it's clear the FCC doesn't care, but a little more wink wink nudge nudge might be cool), that would go a long way towards a shortwave reviv

Jeep hasn't built anything worth a damn since Chrysler picked it up off of AMC in its dying breaths, and MOPAR has not ever built anything that wasn't a flaming pile of shit for many, many decades. It's a shame, you'll n

As someone who has used Sphinx search for a long time, and wound up using Manticore after it got forked off of Sphinx, I found that it does much better than the native PostgreSQL search, while not being as resource hungry as Elastic. Especi

I've not modded my 360E, and it was probably one of the very last 360s built, but I've never had any problems with it, still play on it, and my understanding is there are fewer and less dire problems with it than the prior 360 and

I'd be interested to see how this stacks up against Manticore or Meilisearch.

C++ has that functionality, it's just called goto not break. That's pretty low hanging fruit for a SOTA model to fuck up though.

Why on earth would someone buy this instead of a regular PC setup, especially at that price point? There's no way I would pay that sort of money and not be able to change out the GPU and RAM, and also only have a single PCIE 4x slot.

You could replace Clojure with Python or Perl, and this Would honestly be even more true.

That's probably one of the more frustrating things about Python. Each release it gets all sorts of questionable new syntax (including the very strange pattern matching "feature" that kind of sucks compared to something like E

I also found this. Computing a transitive closure, for example, on a dataset that's not a pure DAG was absurdly painful for data that I stored in any SQL database. It ended up being cheaper and much, much faster, where I could fit the

The whole UBI thing has always seemed absurdly naive. What do you think a junky is going to do with that money? That's a rhetorical question. I really seriously doubt having a few extra dollars in the first place is going to either slo

Yeah, that's absurdly scary. That's a huge social engineering/social control risk of there's a non trivial number of people using it like that...I mean imagine influencing the LLM to subtly pump and dump assets.

One interesting thing is that there are comparisons to Maven and Gradle but not sbt. Do people just not use sbt anymore or is it omitted because it's also Scala and/or prone to becoming a mess?

The Milwaukee M18 drill/driver pair is perfect for this, and typically what I use. Keep the jobber bit in the drill and the put the screws in with the hex driver.

I can't believe people use anything other than Torx or something equivalent, especially for outside work. The difference between crappy regular wood screws and a box of GRK or Deckmate is night and day.
