Honestly that analogy feels like a stretch. I like my Nortons, BSAs and Triumphs, but the Japanese honestly just built better bikes at the end of the day (que joke about Lucas electrics and all of the other shit that seems to go wrong on Br

I agree. It is nice to see what others are using though (I hadn't heard of a lot of stuff they list), and see if there's anything that might be useful to investigate.

Well, when you're in the business of selling a dollar for eighty cents, all the money probably got flushed down the toilet.

I feel like I see this more everywhere. What do these admin personnel even do?

WGU is a real and legit, and probably one of the top things I would consider if needed to get a bachelors degree while working as a now middle aged adult.

What exactly were they wrong about with regards to Roblox?

I don't get it either. People will say all sorts of strange stuff about how it writes the code for them or whatever, but even using the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet or whatever variant of GPT4, the moment I ask it anything that isn't the

So basically we're reinventing the JVM and it's ecosystem?

Even though some people will tell you old school OpenGL fixed function pipeline is bad or out of date or whatever, I still really liked learning from Lighthouse3D ( http://www.lighthouse3d.com/tutorials/ ) and Edward Ang

Besides the obvious, you could honestly replace a huge amount of the horrendous documentation (50%+ of it is just carefully camouflaged marketing fluff anyways) for a large number of IBM products with the hallucinations of an LLM and be no

If you're buying hardware that has any possibility of harming someone or doing any amount of non-trivial damage if it fails from AliExpress or Amazon, you're doing it wrong and should reconsider whatever it is you're doing. E

A working BMC is great, but I sure wouldn't want it facing the open web. The colo would either need some sort of private network, or you'd need to add a router and firewall of some sort to lock down access to the BMC.

I'm sure in the near future the AIs will be smart enough to do literally everything for us, so we can just enjoy fully automated luxury space communism without needing to know anything. /s

As a developer, I find retros most useful when EMs (and probably PMs, depends on how things are configured organizationally) aren't present, as it should give a chance to talk freely about challenges you or the team face, which often a

Sounds like the answer is to just buy another Xeon then, even if it's a little older and maybe secondhand. I think there's a reason the vast majority of Supermicro motherboards are still just Intel only.

I have the exact same question, I don't get it. A reasonably recent ESD soldering iron like a Hakko or a Metcal has never (outside of stupidly small pitched chips) caused me to think "this sucks, I need something better...if only

Batching writes is probably a good idea, but by far the absolute best way to do something like this with SQLite is to use WAL and have a single designated writer (and as many readers as you want), probably fed by something like a queue. As

Buybacks shouldn't have ever been made legal in the first place, as the fears that cause them to be regulated in the first place have really come to pass. I'm sure someone will right on queue chime in and talk about how buybacks a

Like a lot of Arduino products, it must be targeted at people who don't know any better and whose sole exposure to electrical engineering or systems engineering is what they see in make videos. Automation direct PLCs are cheaper than w

Almost any time someone uses the words "legacy" or "modern" in the context of computers, it's a giveaway to me almost always someone has an axe to grind with few or no real deep substantive reasons. I typically read

It would be nice to see which if any of these support coreboot. There's a big hole that was left behind when PC Engines left the market for a reasonably open low power x86 system that runs coreboot and has a much lower possibility of b

This is why I chose to replace my basic forced air gas furnace and basic 16 seer single speed single stage A/C unit with the same thing. Every part on these is relatively simple, largely serviceable and every parts house coming and goi
