HiDPI on Linux is still bad/spotty. If you run Linux, you'll see the difference quickly. Typed on a Razer 13" with QHD display that I'm still constantly messing with (FC25 Cinnamon).

It's very common for netflow data to be mirrored and multiplexed. Syslog, too.

NFS on Linux defaulted to UDP for what seems like a really long time. There were perf issues with TCP (can't remember what they were).

I'm not sure if I follow your question. I worked in Windows NT networking escalation/debug support. We did NT4 and Windows 2000. You had to have a support contract with MS or work off some Pay Per Incident vouchers. Some people ha

I formerly worked as an escalation support engineer in Microsoft's Product Support Services (PSS) for Windows networking. I, and a lot of other people, were at our desks in Las Colinas, TX for the Y2K rollover. Nothing happened. We got

Isn't nuclear still really expensive? I read that Entergy was shutting down some nuclear plants they recently acquired because they had not-good track records and it cost more to produce energy than what they could sell it for [0]. In

The price of sugar also crashed this year. It rebounded only to start crashing again. I think economics played a large role in Hawaii.

Brazil? I know that they grow a lot for their local ethanol gasoline blends. Not sure how much is for export though.

It's why you need multiple sources. The NTP protocol and implementation handles sudden skews from a source. When done properly, CDMA clocks can offer a much more stable source than the public internet, and you can filter out UDP 123 up

by scurvy 10y ago
Blocking UDP 123 upstream is a common tactic to avoid participating in NTP DDoS botnets. You're best off running your own NTP infrastructure that's isolated from the public Internet NTP servers if you want stable time sources. Put

My grandfather was an internal medicine doctor and said the same thing since the 50's, "all vitamins do is make your pee more expensive."

30 minutes a day causes cancer? What did we ever do before long sleeves? Must have been an evolutionary miracle!

10-30 minutes a day will cause skin cancer? Think again.

You're not going to get skin cancer in the 10-30 minutes of sun exposure required for daily vitamin D. Stop clinging to that as a reason to shelter indoors and replace life with vitamins and manufactured meals.

It was a joke. Look at my handle.

Doesn't your body produce vitamin D from sun exposure? Just get outside more.

Cannot tell you in enough harsh language to avoid fs.com. I've had enough DOA and mis-flashed parts to swear them off forever. Really bad stuff. If you just want regular DAC, go straight to Mellanox (they have an online store) or Amphe

That's sad. Back in my day, the last round was always C. After that you either went public or folded up. The track record of companies that raised a D was so bad that everyone feared a D out of stigma. Things might have changed a littl

Java apps don't scale up. I use ThinkOrSwim (TD Ameritrade) for investing and the scaling is non existent. There are other Java tools necessary for sysadmin work that showed the same behavior. There was another thing that I can't

Cannot up vote this enough. Same experience with a current generation Razer Stealth Blade. Power remaining jumps from 6 hours to 1 on the UI and only lasts 45 minutes at best. Dual boot into Windows 10 and everything is great. This is 100%

Those must be very small startup offices. Even moderately sized still have copper to every desk. Latency wins when doing development.

Are there any tips to getting Linux working well with HiDPI displays? We tried running kUbuntu on a QHD Razer laptop and the experience was pretty bad. Also tried Fedora, but that was bad for other reasons (kernel crashes, don't like G
