Seems like poor analysis on their part then. If they're leaving 3.5x perf on the floor, they're not spending their money very well.

You're more likely to be able to pick up an Outposts rack, which is at least designed to go into a more "normal" datacenter.

On the other hand, they prevent middleboxes from providing any value as well. I don't mean stupid nonsense like corporate TLS man-in-the-middle, but also.... load balancers.

They've almost made it too good. I have to run software that ships an x86 version of CPython, and it just deeply offends me on a personal level, even though I can't actually detect any slowdown (probably because lol python in the

But if there were, no one would get away with fractional reserves (at least anywhere near the reserve requirements banks that deal with dollars have). A huge reason why the FDIC works is that the fed can always bail them out in the worst ca

Do you think the g4 would have enough juice to do software decoding of h264 in real time? (slash is ffmpeg optimized enough for a relatively obscure platform like macppc? e.g. does it actually use altivec?)

Thanks, that does seem like quite a short amount of time. I've seen what patent attorneys can do to the 2 page technical description that I've written (turn it into 100+ pages of legal nonsense), so I'm sympathetic. IMO it re

Really seems like vindication for the US's regulatory scheme that in that it keeps US customers out of these shenanigans.

How much time do you get today? I'm hesitant to support extra time because it can already take 5+ years from file to grant today.

This was extremely true during the initial wave of covid too: productivity shot up a TON, because the people who were laid off were in inherently low productivity sectors like restaurants, theme parks, etc.

Similarly, I know DragonFly BSD focuses on speed (making the kernel as non-blocking as possible, thread-per-core type stuff), but is there a comparison of the scheduler with FreeBSD's?

what would "fully equal status" mean? for as long as I can remember, as long as you give the store permission to install apps, it works basically the same?

There are some houses even within the city of Bellevue on septic still.

I think the inspection requirement is fairly new, and only kicks in with new systems. That being said, at this house the water table is quite high. The well serving the house is only about 90 ft deep.

New septic systems are basically mini treatment plants. The amount of equipment it needs are pretty wild. They also (at least in NJ) need twice yearly inspections by professionals.

Well, I can't say too much, but it's not as bad as you might think. It's extremely annoying, but doable. It's really not that different from doing a DB table update.

They spend lots and lots of money to make sure this doesn't happen. It's more or less why the entire right wing legal movement (Federalist Society et al) exists.

That's simply unacceptable for some systems, like if you're actively routing phone calls.

Oh, people complain about NEMA all the time. It's objectively the worst commonly used socket+plug system from a safety perspective. It's somewhat mitigated by the common voltage being half of what the Europlug etc sees. RJ45 (akch

People in the US don't realize how rich we are because we spend the money extremely poorly. California's GDP will exceed Germany's soon. With less than half of the population. That'll make it the 4th largest economy in t

That's probably more of a result of education polarization really taking off during his time. Who is the bureaucracy? White collar workers.
