pfSense is -CURRENT, Netflix OCA is -CURRENT, etc. It's not too hard.

Definitely an accomplished architect, there are a lot of fine construction details in these photos. So much that it makes the IT/low voltage installation look like a hack job.

Corporate IT is kind of a parallel universe to me, so it is interesting to see how widely used these products are and how impactful these types of events are. There are a few broad categories to building one of these platforms.. core virtua

Another oddly interesting interface related to SMD was IPI. Sun used it for a bit as their high end disks.

Most of these things have large categories that are inherently disinflationary. You can't make a new authentic vintage Ferrari. Whether they are fungible is the main problem and case by case. But you generally don't do it to bu

Antiquities and heirlooms can be a good stable investment, the same reason people trade art or watches or guns or cars. Some of these are fun to use without reducing value.

I run a web to text usenet gateway and it has been an interesting challenge to scale it to deal with this. Article fetch and retrieval is extremely efficient but I apply JWZ threading and that can cause a single article to make a number of

Wow this is a deep dive, most people focus on the PC era. The Ultima/Impression were some of the very first commercial PCI cards, behind maybe NCR SCSI. Another interesting vendor in that era was Number Nine.

Fluency in one's native language, what an achievement. Neither of these words are complicated. The treasury is unsalable bonds according to the thread, which means the US is in a financial collapse, but also has unlimited capacity to

The way it's written is ambiguous as it could also just mean the peak demand rate, not a capacity peak. I was doing some benchmarks for something recently and noticed how tricky it is to capture all the nuance of a test in prose.

"Looking up synonyms" huh? You have yet to make a coherent argument and keep trying to attack the messenger, typical behavior when people get called out for false entitlement. Your "psychopathy" accusations are pure co

Whatever point you are trying to make is not coming across, what even are these numbers and what do they have to do with citizenry of the United States? You also have a quantum view of the United States that it is and isn't impoverish

Expecting an onslaught of cash as some permanent way of being, especially given the fickleness (and fragility) of any state let alone political regime is an incredibly daft move. I don't care if it's Europe or Israel or Banglades

Directly and indirectly, there are a lot of other knock on effects. Value objects (only recently being added) help. You could treat it similar to an HFT application, having ephemeral workers that don't do GC and dies on heap exhausti

Claude code seems like a beginner's trap at this point.

Wasn't ScyllaDB designed to be a drop in? The idea of running a Java or Golang DB sounds like fresh hell to me.

I wouldn't consider Rust a manual memory environment. There are ways to do that at edges if needed, but it is otherwise very much automatic which is kind of the whole point of its design.

I haven't kept up with POWER after POWER9, but I recall it to be a true hardwired control RISC, pure as the driven snow. This had some interesting properties (along with other clever designs like eFuses and pNOR) for creating a really

It's basically MIPS all over again The conclusion is honest, and you can of course brute force any ISA into any role. I used to loathe x86 for that reason, but now that I'm older I respect the game.

I've assumed it worked fine on Linux but your comment brought me to this after a quick search: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118721 . I've not seen any major issues on Linux e1000e defaults but never

Most realtek is F tier, they basically repeat the bad part of this NE2000 saga, and the simplicity comes at the cost of CPU cycles. In that sense the Intel PCH controllers were great.

In this era 3Com was still the gold standard, but intel eventually dominated the market because they integrated 100mbit and then gigabit on the PCH relegating any margin in the expansion card market to servers. As someone that has worked o

They did have someone from Intel on when covering Intel's switches and he brings up his involvement in the Pro/100.

I wish they had tracked down someone from Nat Semi for this. I imagine they would have been somewhat dismayed by some of this. One of the issues of the perceived low quality is the massive variance in NE2000 silicon. Basically everyone cl

Even things built directly on underlying malloc and free typically have some form of "garbage collection" in the malloc implementation for efficiency and performance (geometric sizing, thread caching, etc). It's best to think

Because Go is kind of a Steampunk design. The creators collectively ignored decades of PL developments. What that nets is kind of a C without sharp edges, but can't be used where C can. Rust is definitely jarring to look at, in the s

This seems like a cope, if you aren't writing the syntax who cares and everything here is even better with a stronger type system like Rust, F#, Scala, TypeScript.

One interesting thing with wider addresses isn't necessarily increasing itself, but features built upon the expansion. CHERI is one example of that.
