It's not a bad place to start. It still seems to link to a sysvinit style setup by default(good). There are systemd flavored versions available but the relative directions, size and time requirements should tell you plenty without me e

Is it not? Haven't we just spend 2 days reading/talking about them? Seems to be working out well for them so far. The opening paragraph has one of their Psychologist angel investors saying exactly this.

While everyone else wonders about the nature of time. I wonder about the nature of "sense." What is "sense"? How do some things 'make' sense and others don't? Is "sense" universal? If not, why?

Your not solving anything, at best you are getting maybe one extra level of abstraction by shifting potential complexity in the application. It may or may not care about internal file "schema" and thus has no code for it. Shifts

Depends on the brain doesn't it? Kim Peek and Srinivasa Ramanujan would indicate there is no fundamental limitation to the architecture of the human brain that prevents "fast math". Should we measure CMOS and silicon's o

We don't have the whole story of their infrastructure and that a lot of Plaid's data sources are scraped and/or aggregated and repackaged in nonstandard ways. ACH and transaction tracking have been working fine for the last 2

What you call "broken" others call "performance choices". Except SSD controllers, they are big fat phonies. Look at how much slower CPUs are without those speculative execution tricks. I can buy gigabytes of RAM with a 2

The promise of "promotion to FTE" from a large company is about as worthwhile as a stripper's promise to text you later when you give her a big tip. Sure it happens, but it's mostly to string along suckers.

The average refresh rate of a computer display is 60Hz. In this context it's interchangeable with framerate but we think of it in terms of Hz because of the monitors.

HTTPS Everywhere is dumb security theater that desensitizes users to potential issues when it should otherwise matter. When only important shit you really wanted to encrypt was encrypted and you get a cert warning you took notice. Now one

It's not a dying art, it's "abstracted away". The servos are still internally utilizing these designs. You just don't have to worry about the gritty physical details, just some basic control code.

Seems like a FUD-y non sequitur. Everyone isn't going to run out and completely replace their infrastructure with AMD overnight. I doubt intel could keep up much better.
