Something that isn't said or asked is what scrapyards are accepting these. For catalytic converters, most yards are supposed to measures in place to deter accepting stolen cats. Someone has to be seeing loads of things like statues or

I mean can they really even if you're using off the shelf client software like plain OpenVPN?

It's almost like the channeled the same problems and bad juju that plagued ext.js.

You say Jenkins is hated, but surely it's no more hated or worse than any other bigger player in the space like Teamcity or Bamboo.

Market cap doesn't really feel like a good metric of anything other than what it would take to buy a company out. DuPont has a market cap of 30ish billion and 3M around 80B, and both are both larger and frankly more important than prob

Now if only Intel would start packing their iGPUs (maybe more than one, or many for a high core count CPU like this) on their Xeon CPUs, you could basically build insane video streaming infra with little hardware (given how good the iGPUs a

Find a generation or two old Supermicro motherboard, don't bother with the AMD ones as they're rare and seemed to have more issues. I also would stay away from fly by night Chinese vendors for a lot of reasons but people tolerate

There land did not come with any water rights (something you've got to ask about for any land out here not already hooked up to a metro water system), and thus you are entirely at the mercy of others and not guaranteed anything. Why yo

I don't know what people expect moving to south central Colorado, maybe they're taken in by the "cheap land" posts that flood everything like craigslist for Costilla and Alamosa counties. If you've never been there,

The Python core team has kind of run the language off the rails post 3.7 or 3.8 or so. There's been so much crap bolted on to the language for dubious reasons, and often times it comes with whole new sets of weird problems without real

After doing Erlang and Scala pattern matching, the whole Python implementation just feels really ugly and gross. They should have cribbed a lot more of how Scala does it.

All true, but then there goes your stratospheric valuations and all the crazy hype. This come to jesus moment may very well deflate one of the few remaining hot areas around software engineering..I could see people being reluctant to stop t

I'm calling it now, this is the beginning of all of the remaining non-commerical properties on the web either going away, or getting hidden inside of some trusted overlay network. Unless the "AI" race slows down or changes or

Sounds like modern neoliberalism, and it's proponents, are the big mistake here to me, and those shortsighted enough to offshore work of all sorts to countries that aren't close allies should get a big spanking. Regardless of whet

Most of the real estate "in the mountains" here in Colorado is basically SF prices, with a whole extra set of challenges. Even the front range I think has even worse home price to median income than a lot of the other places peopl

I mean I'm sure water could be considered a lubricant too, but it's almost never a good one. WD-40 I'm sure in some technical sense can function as a lubricant but it's a really crappy one and if nothing else tends to dr

Yeah I was kind of shocked too. Core 2 could do both of those instruction sets. A used Dell Precision can be had for very little and probably would be grossly more efficient than whatever they're using.

Noctua fans are usually a good choice (though I think their industrial line is better, especially if you can get a deal on the splash proof IP66ish ones). That all said, other than having extremely good lifespans for ostensibly a retail ori

Seasonic makes (made?) really excellent PSUs, but they've been real thin on new inventory over the last year or so. Maybe they're getting out of direct retail? Even a second hand older Seasonic platinum PSU is still hands down bet

WD-40 isn't a lubricant, 3 in 1 is really a cutting oil and too thin, and I can't imagine lithium grease doing well in a high speed bearing...it's really only good because I think it's less toxic. These are all real thin

Where Bayes' theorem applies in unconventional ways is not remotely novel for "rationalism" (maybe only in their strange busted hand wavy circle jerk "thought experiments"). This has been the domain of statistical m

Even the real progenitors of a lot of this sort of thought, like E.T. Jaynes, expoused significantly more skepticism than I've ever seen a "rationalist" use. I would even imagine if you asked almost all rationalists who E.T.

One lesson I've learned and seen a lot in my life is that understanding that something is wrong or what's wrong about it, and being able to come up with a better solution are distinct, and the latter is often much harder. It seems

Probably the Hackett book, "Sextus Empiricus: Selections from the Major Writings on Scepticism"

More people should read Sextus Empiricus as he's basically the O.G. Phyrronist skeptic and goes pretty hard on this very train of thought.

That's basically a full out sprint for a relatively fast horse. Most can't sustain that for long and definitely not with a lot of load. Steam, gas, and diesel engines were and are capable of sustaining that for long durations with
