California has a lot of structural problems that other states don't, and, a few big industries that pay a lot of taxes that allow them to paper over issues. As an indicator for what other states should or shouldn't do, California&

The open-source Cyrus IMAP server which they mention using, has replication built-in. ZFS also has built-in replication available. Deletion of files depends on how they have configured the message store - they may be storing a lot of data

If the ice-cream machine was working properly, then they have one or more competent employees; which points to employee involvement. If the ice-cream machine was broken, then the likelihood is less and the employees may not have been involv

These are an interesting design, especially with the remote-terminal aspects. I do wonder how the CRTs were driven at that resolution.

There is a removable cartridge that stops the blade. It ruins the blade. The cartridge gets swapped out with a new one in a few minutes (the table top of the saw can be partially opened) and costs about $150 .

I have saved that recipe! The Cento brand and the Nina brand (at least the ones I have) which are often sold at Costco are the ones to get. Note: you MUST avoid any tomatoes that are packed with calcium chloride, as it greatly increases the

I wouldn't say younger/older is the proper axis. It's amazing to realize that much of the key insights and abilities of computing can be experienced on an 8 bit CPU with less RAM than the L1 cache of today's processors.

I didn't say anything about protect mode and the URL you included mentions Windows 2.1, which was NOT a commercial success. But Windows 3.0 was the first time that traction was truly gained in the market. That they added protected mod

Tim Paterson has basically said that he bought a book on CPM and then renamed the API calls for QDOS. For instance (hypothetical example) if CPM had "OpenSerialPort" then Paterson might have created the same API but named it &quo

I didn't spell Microsoft with a dollar sign and I didn't portray OS/2 as a folk hero of computing. So your responses don't seem to be addressing the issues I raised.

It's more like an opportunistic, willing to be sleazy, smaller company grew into a very large one by continually taking underhanded advantage of anyone in their path. Ed Roberts of MITS/Altair, STAC, Wang (OLE, lawsuit resulted

This is typical self-serving MS-speak. What actually happened is that: a) Microsoft, then a tiny fraction of what it is now, took $400 million from IBM in co-developing OS/2 and put the profit from that money into Windows 3.0 and later

They are still being used in telecom. Not the new SPARC M7 series, but what was shipping in 2004-2005 timeframe is still in the rack and doing stuff (which is pretty crazy).

I recently read up on "zone melting" which was developed to purify germanium - but of course this same method can be used for other materials. Interesting that Hamming of Hamming codes fame gave encouragement to the developer of

Another post in the thread mentions ATT; I can confirm that at another large telecom, Perl is still used in quite a few places, and is still being used for some new projects as well.

Here are 2 things I have noticed that seem obvious weaknesses: 1. Looking at the CyberMonday and BlackFriday deals, I see that the 12900K and 14900* series CPUs are what is being offered on the Intel side. Meanwhile AMD has released newer c

It seems more than ridiculous that this is considered a serious issue. Datacenter space, generators (to cover the power needs of the datacenter) and power cost real money and thus there is plenty of incentive to reduce it. Already we are se

My take on this is that there’s a price increase on power consumption and Hetzner decided to bump the prices now; perhaps they are facing a power price increase in January 2025. Do Ashburn or Hillsboro publish their power prices and have th

It's strange to me that the Venona Project, run by the NSA from the middle of WW2 until 1980 and not declassified until 1995, is not mentioned at all in the article. It would seem reasonable that AGLOSO and whatever the NSA discovered

This article doesn’t mention morale or “esprit de corps” which was considered so essential that Clausewitz had a separate section in his writing for his thoughts on the subject.
