The manuals for the utilities like awk etc. are still very helpful and clear, a bit dated but can help you learn the basics. I remember the ads and now wish I had bought Coherent back in the day as it would have accelerated my Unix learning

First, IBM created an open standard which stuck due to their size. Then the killer app Lotus 123 came out and it didn't use Basic and nothing you wrote in Basic could compete with 123 either. My older brother bought a $4000 TI Professi

Lower-volume specialty chips for interfaces (lots of I/O pins), such as adapters for an odd interface, custom hardware designs for which there isn't an existing chip, etc. For instance, audio, video or other signal processing can

MiSTer is about 110K , this can go up to 218K. Probably this new FPGA is something like BGA package, since it has over 500 I/O pins. Also not available this year: "AMD Spartan UltraScale+ samples and evaluation kits are expected

Israel does not necessarily extradite for financial fraud, that is why Aknin is fighting it in court. There are many legal maneuvers available in the Israeli court system.

When I was messing around with the Acme editor from Plan9 I found the 3 physical buttons on the Dell Latitude series and old Thinkpads, very much to my liking.

You're right! Somehow the T2 scene stuck in my mind more...

It's right out of Terminator 2, except for the actually dead foster parents part.

Well it would depend on the specifics of the JSON file but eyeballing the stats at https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark/tree/master seems to indicate that even on a 2015 MacBook the parsing procee

Have you checked if there is a faster way to parse your JSON? 3Gbytes/hour to load a file seems slow on today's CPUs...

I was checking out used rack servers on ebay and servers with 768GB RAM are not very expensive, they are under $3k USD... seems that if you could cache 256GB to 512GB of Postgres into RAM you could do pretty well...

Far easier said than done. And that you mentioned MySQL/MariaDB as a possible replacement means that you have never worked with Oracle's SQL dialect.

Amazon, Google and Azure are anything but free market; they have been getting subsidies and abatements in the 10s of billions all along.

I have seen a rack with power and 10Gig ethernet advertised for $700 per month; so my guess is that Amazon pays less than 25 cents per Mbps per month and in some cases, nothing.

Accenture has lots of corporate clients, probably 90% of the Fortune 1000; they could easily make an SSO sign-on work (like Percipio does with companies I am aware of) and give access to all or part of the content for a set fee per-month or

You are correct, it is "Grade Down". Some people prefer terseness, think of this as "advanced next-level Perl one-liners" if that helps ...

That symbol is easy to remember, it is Grade Up and when pointing the other way it is Grade Down -and yes I did remember that from sight and did not have to look it up. See https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Grade-Up

Google needs to die, in order for the Internet to live; their near-monopoly is stifling and they have repeatedly proven they are not good stewards of the outsized amount of power they have.

So there is a quantum of criticism/observations about systemd that can be made but after that, no more is acceptable?

Would you know if any of them are still around? Is there a good emulator that allows them to run well on new-ish x86 or ARM systems?

Don, have you played around with the Interlisp.org "try Medley in your browser" or the downloadable version? And if so, what did you think of it?

My understanding was that K8s itself has overhead, which ultimately has to be paid for, even if using a managed service (it might be included in the cost of what you pay, of course). I did add the caveat of "with modules" and the
