cloud style microservice architectures. saves a lot of power and no single node is carrying all the weight. distributed computing is scalable. 1 big xeon is not.

Good to know. I couldn't see any reason that they wouldn't work for a Pi4, but I couldn't find a single manufacturer that said Pi4 was actually supported.

missed the SD cards. I am benchmarking against the best SD cards I can get because that is always the bottleneck on the Pi to my experience. The bandwidth and clock rate on USB3 vs sdcard bridge is just faster, but the media is also cheaper

any usb 3.0 drive works, but I am using SanDisk Ultra Fits. price per byte is less and performance is similar or slightly better for reads and way better for sustained writes. No Overclock. 99-100% CPU on all 4 cores for hours and no thrott

yeah, I'm excited to get my hands on some Jetsons too. the 4gb memory on the pi is really a big pro though. when one of these SBCs finally comes with 8GB and GPU acceleration for < 100$ we will see some real progress I think.

Posted before I saw this comment. Yes passive cooling is fine with recent firmware and a good heatsink case. I have stress tested with the following case for hours with all cores pegged at 100% and there is no CPU throttling with passive co

The Pi does not do poe natively. POE is available as a hat, but I have not seen one for the Pi4 yet. The hats are nearly as expensive as the Pi itself.

Running a 6 node cluster of Pi4s at home now. Did some benchmarks. Long story short. USB thumb drive boot disks are better performance and cheaper than SD cards. Fans are completely unnecessary on a Pi4 with an aluminum heat shield style &q

i think you will lose in the end this way if you actually factor in power costs.

The python discord help channels are amazing. I want to take their bots and make them available for every language. The whole ask / answer workflow is soooo damn smooth.

I agree with this to a point. I mean, tools really do help. Take C++ or JS which will make every effort to run total garbage that any competent user could see is garbage vs Python or Go which have very strict tooling to keep stupid users on

been programming for ages, and just started getting into Go. The Go book by Kernighan is really quite good. Full of excellent explanations of the design choices made in the language and the exercises are better than any I have ever seen. Th

A search engine which only lists sites which adhere to a set of rules / quality standards is the only answer I see here. The question is would people use it? I don't think so. They won't even use DuckDuckGo and similar which

there are 100 things which are disgraceful about the american electoral process. Whether or not the votes are counted in one day or three is probably the least important of all of them.

i'm in automotive, and we've looked into this a few times for commercial fleet telemetry. It's just impossible to beat the pricing of cheap mobile phones when they have the volumes.

Ask me if I will volunteer to give apple or google any more information than they already collect and my answer will always be no. I don't care what the reasoning. Germany did it right.

most dumb idea ever is a bit strong, but yeah. If you could get OSs to adopt this, then as an app writer, you're going to have to worry about how Microsoft's jacked up version of the standard broke your content when it was moved

I had the idea to make a web site like this years ago, but it wasn't nearly this cool, even in my imagination. Nicely done!

I also have anxiety. The way you deal with it is to talk with strangers. Start by expressing yourself more with the people you are already comfortable with. Something you might normally not share. Then start with chit chat with people who a

I don't get it. What can you do here that you couldn't otherwise? You already have a term and an xserver to make it work right?
