I wrote this in another reply here, but from this article and others I've read on Space X's/Tesla's datacenters, it's the use of turbine generators that cause that enormous whine sound. (Note how similar it is to a

It likely didn't have the power requirements either. I'm just guessing here, but that sounds a lot like turbine whine. (I've heard them elsewhere, not to mention been around plenty of aircraft) My guess is that they brought o

Well, that and, by passing additional legislation. There's two parts to this. The first is that in most cases, the issues stem from lack of clarity in existing legislation, or contradictions thereof. At anytime, if Congress does not li

Well said. I'll also add, that with these networks, the sooner you can get traffic off your network the better. There's strong incentive to have your datacenter near these peering points. And since MAE-East was the first, it'

Oh, I feel this. As a pre-teen, I loved it. SETI@Home running on our family's Pentium 100, X-Files, and hanging out on the "Parascope" forum and chatroom on AOL for all things UFO related. An "I Want To Believe" pos

I agree, and the "not the first time" I think is key there. Setting expectations I think is crucial. For ours (5yo), we're clear about what he can watch and for how long. We control the device. "Two episodes before dinne

5yo parent here. Agreed. And sometimes they just need to chill. I agree with the overall sentiment. Too much screen time is bad. Kids need to get out and play, indoors or out. In our house, it's a lot of biking and playing with friends

Seconding this. We've made Daddy Mix Tapes, "Mommy Reads Stories", and other compilations. Adding to the plethora of good ideas here: My wife bought these hanging tabs to stick onto the cards[1], and then strings a keycable[2

Thanks for looking up the numbers! That would be quite the "budget" SMP build. The 366MHz "Mendocino" was based on the prior Pentium II core I believe. So quite the disparity in single-threaded workloads.

Yes, because there weren't really CPUs then that had double the performance. Celeron CPUs were usually CPUs that shared the same core architecture as the current Pentium standard, but often had a lower core clock speed, lower core memo

Entirely possible I misremembered. As another commenter pointed out, it might be that I never got past mission 2. On further recollection, I think it was just Top Gun: The Second Mission that I owned. I remember playing both, but it might h

I didn't either! Granted, I wasn't good at video games in general. And this one infuriated me, because I loved it. I could easily beat the first level, but then I crashed on carrier landing. This happened for years . I only ever

This Microsoft response reminds me of the 2018 Blizzcon event, where the Diablo Immortal developer challenged the audience with "Do you guys not have phones?" when the audience asked if the game was coming to PC. Then - like now -

Hi Warren! I'm Chris, and I'm with AWS, where among other things, I work on the Well-Architected Framework. Would you be willing to talk with us? You can reach me at kozlowck@amazon.com. Thanks! Edit: This is a fantastic write-up

Amazonian here. My views are my own; I do not represent my company/corporate. That said... We do our very best. But I don't know anyone here who would say "it can never happen". Security is never an absolute. The best pr

As I recall it, Intel brought about Hyperthreading on Northwood and later Pentium 4s as a way to help with issues in it's long pipeline. As I remember it described at the time, P4 had 30+ stages in it's pipeline. Many of them did

Thanks for the endorsement. I'm in NoVA as well, and this piqued my interest. I have a company that does spraying monthly, but it seems to have mixed results. The technician doesn't spray my herb and vegetable gardens (or my neigh

Depends on the age. I've had my 4yo in my garage with me at times. And while he's "helped" me with a few things, it generally consists of me holding the tool with his hands on the handle as well. His strength, dexterity,

This is incorrect, though I don't blame OP as apparently it was being miscommunicated a lot on Twitter. Evergreen Intel on BlueSky says this is actually a Pakistani plane that was sold to them from the US some years ago. But many datab

Indeed. And to add to your argument, AI may be effective in controlling aircraft for certain tasks some day. But there are still many that will either require a pilot there, or greatly benefit from a pilot there. The "drones will repla

Yup, that's certainly one. I see this technique as simply one more tool in the toolbox. Air defense (and really, all of warfare) is not a single "this thing is better than the rest" but a system of things that work in conjunc

The Saab Gripen is said to be particularly effective in this regard. I'm pleased at the discussion in this chain of replies, as it illustrates the cat-and-mouse game stealth (low observability?) is. Stealth never was a perfect defense,

Your discussion with DrF jogged my memory a bit. There was a discussion on this topic some time ago (I'm fuzzy on when) that went into detail about how there needed to be a specific use case and demand for this. I'm trying to reme
