For many years, they were consistently and very diplomatically saying that they had no plans to offer Backblaze Personal Backup to Linux users, because Linux users would use a disproportionately large amount of storage and it wouldn't

I'd like to point out that this article neither claims nor provides evidence that Zillow has lost money. For one thing, as discussed previously[1], Zillow earns commissions and fees when both buying and selling houses, so they may be m

There are tons of SoCs that theoretically support Linux, but in practice rely on binary blobs or out-of-tree drivers. Getting them to work with anything other than the hand-picked, patched kernel versions provided by the manufacturer can be

Which, as always, raises the question of why a blockchain is necessary. If the creators' master key can be trusted with the power to decide who gets new coins, why don't the creators just store everyone's account balance in a

No, as of 1 year ago the stock market had already recovered and exceeded its pre-pandemic levels. But sure, let's look at a few other intervals: Compared to 2 years ago, the S&P 500 is up 51%, and the CPI is up 6.8%. Compared to 3

The S&P 500 is up 31% compared to a year ago, and the US Consumer Price Index has only increased 5.4% over the same time period.

Sounds like you're describing NAT-PT, originally proposed in RFC 2766 (published in 2000). It suffers from a lot of practical problems, which are described at length in RFC 4966. For example, without careful special handling it breaks

The NFT crowd has come up with the term "right-clicker" to describe someone dastardly enough to download an NFT's content without being the anointed owner. https://twitter.com/KirinDave/status/144333

That's correct: spot instances are ideal for batch workloads with relatively little persistent state. If your deadline for completing a unit of work isn't extremely short, and you're already distributing jobs across a pool of

Among other things, the price cuts are a nice change for ultra-cheap hobby projects that have extremely low resource demands. So far the lowest Spot VM price I've found is e2-micro in us-west4, which costs a whopping $0.69/month f

I don't know how much stock we should put in the exact sequence of events recalled by someone who had just woken up, but it doesn't seem that implausible to me. It's not like the meteorite would have been traveling at thousan

As defined in the license, the capitalized term "Work" means only the StyleGAN3 software and derivatives. So it means you can't use StyleGAN3 while simultaneously claiming it infringes one of your patents, but it doesn't

It's a good idea, in principle. But according to the sources I could find, to get enough gravitational potential energy to equal the electrical capacity of Zephyr's batteries, you'd have to lift the entire craft by about 70km

Yeah, the bootloader is responsible for the hardware stuff up to this point. It doesn't take that much more assembly code to bootstrap C in the Linux kernel on x86: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob&#x2

This line from the interview jumped out at me: > QNTM: Do it. If it's your first time, try a second time as well. Your first attempt might be okay or it might not be so okay, but it's something you can get better at over time.

That doesn't in any way mean the title is wrong. Any group will look like a minority if you narrow it down enough, regardless of how close that group is to the average of the population. By analogy, it's accurate to say that the U

Interesting, I hadn't seen it reported on the new version before. I spend more time than I ought to browsing Reddit, and I literally haven't seen a single correctly-working gallery post on any subreddit in months.

It's not just a poor design. old.reddit.com currently has what ought to be considered a show-stopping functional bug: every gallery post (that is, every post with multiple images) has its URL replaced with the empty string, causing it

With battery-powered devices being so common, "fast enough" is no longer the only criterion for performance. Every cycle that the CPU doesn't spend idle subtracts from battery life.
