You can’t buy the gpus individually, and even if you can on a secondary market, you can’t use them without the baseboard, and you can’t use the baseboard without a compatible chassis, and a compatible chassis is full of CPUs, system memory

Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks]( https:/&#

This is pretty cool, The UI is a little tough-- deleting code blocks is clunky. its also hard to break out of the type modals there should also be some kind on context aware help dialogue to tell you what operator/type you have active

my back of the napkin math only puts this around the same stopping power as plywood of similar thickness. Sand bags work a lot better and are a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to produce

I think there is more to it than that— AC lets you move current over longer wires without voltage drop or having to use really thick wire. This is why Tesla triumphed over Edison. Honestly, there are a ton of applications that could benefit

For my most recent move, I didn't even submit a CV, resume, or cover letter. My (very sparse) LinkedIn profile was enough to get a callback and interview. I'm no huge fan of LinkedIn, but I like the idea that a digital portfolio o

Ok, here's what I think this is. There are tons of fields that have high demand for 3d simulation environments. To date, they have either had to build one from the ground up, or leverage (and pay for) a game engine. Game engines have s

I'm in the same boat, but didn't come to tech until the mid 2000s, mostly on the operations side. I think what I'm missing (or had to learn on my own) from not having a CS degree is all of the table stakes stuff-- the theory.

I recently went through a round of interviews for a job where strong communication skills are vital. One interview was just me responding to simulated emails in a shared google doc so the interviewer could see me work through the responses.
