Aah, the memories! Glad there's emulators for most of these things, anyone can try them out virtually. Of course it ain't the same as pushing buttons on the real thing, but it's still fun!

I'm sure it's different elsewhere.

Nothing like poking machine code directly into memory, and when it crashes it takes the whole thing down and you lose everything. Learned really quick that way! Great times, part of why I've always enjoyed a deep understanding what&#x2

Absolutely. Our experience with zfs dedupe was that it was ok for some workloads, like remote desktop stuff, but not for most, not worth the overhead. ZFS compression, on the other hand, was well worth the extra CPU time. But fdupes is grea

This looks really neat, going to try it out. Lots of integrations, that's key.

Not if they do it right. Lots of companies did that with us, some required it as part of their contract. We'd give them the ability to control or not, and what we were sharing with them. Way more efficient than sending up a tarball ful

That thing was such an abomination, good riddance. Not sure what the heck HP and intel were thinking, yeah, have the compiler do the work of ordering instructions particularly crafty so it wouldn't stall. HP had PA-RISC at the time, ma

I remember thinking why don't they just do a WebEx with us to see what's going on. Nope, never. They just wanted us to ship logs to them and try random crap until they closed the ticket. Total waste of time and money.

It's enterprise in that you pay for it, but their support sucks. We had lots of open tickets they never solved. Total waste of money. Instead of fixing the problems they went back and forth with us asking for more log files until they

It's not "kind of hidden" Redhat (and IBM) are choosing who to release their source code to, and if they don't like you they won't give it to you. Richard Stallman (rms) ain't dead yet.

by spandextwins 3y ago
Yes, because everyone else figured it out except Red Hat (IBM)
42.
by spandextwins 3y ago
Anybody can do that with open source as long as they make the source code available. That shouldn't surprise anyone. Source code is free and open.

by spandextwins 3y ago
It's open source. That's the deal.

Great! Redhat and IBM can kiss my a*

I love the video when the guy said you can drink the stuff, then when they said go ahead he refused.

Yay! Haven't been able to use that since around 10 years ago! Welcome back, friend!

Oh I remember Microport Unix from back in the day. It was pretty much always either a compiler big or an operating system bug. Same with Windows 3.11

I was right, it's redhat docker.

by spandextwins 3y ago
I'm a little confused, podman is just IBM docker, right?

Oracle says "hi" too! I remember seeing ads in Infoworld for a product called SQL*Calc. As far as I know it was fully vaporware, Oracle never even did anything past a photoshop (or more likely ms-paint) advertisement for it, but

Now that is something great! I wish more of this kind of stuff existed. Instead of coding I'm writing comments here. I need to get back to writing great code too!

Fragile but great work!

Time to refactor the telescopes. They should do that anyway, Amazon is going to get into the same business soon.

by spandextwins 3y ago
Because each fork on either end will grow the hairball by a factor of x where x is the other end of the hairball. What a mess.

Docker actually solved this quite a while ago with tags and downloads of the correct architecture container. But this is interesting even though it won't scale well.

No sauce?

Nice! But next time do the press release when the product is released. Really tired of sites like HN pushing these stories out without any code or files Feels like vaporware.
