The author also drastically overestimates the capabilities of cloud vendors. CDN and edge have been and will continue to be great business (as you well know) despite pundits predic…

This is a beautiful comment. Thanks for sharing.

There's no mention of OOB support. You could of course hook up something to the reset pins and serial port, but this places it categorically behind low end x86-64 servers.

PowerPC was also the dominant embedded platform for two decades (the rover that just landed on Mars is PPC). Point being, ARM's presence in highly vertical markets like embedded or…

Brush fires in a rural area

Of defense contractors, Oshkosh is one of my favorite and makes amazing vehicles. I think the USPS will get a reliable and durable platform from them. As far as electrification, th…

IBM i (OS/400) has had single address space, tagged pointers, and an number of other "novel" things in the loop for eons. Many people interact with it daily, indirectly, in most of…

If you read the other DE respond in the tweets, it was DEC/Compaq Alphas. I think it's kind of insane to have gone from 64b back to 32b (and the DE claims it caused big issues). Se…

Car loans are 0% for anyone with good credit right now. We live in a managed economy now sadly, so you are actually throwing away money by paying outright instead of taking on inte…

This seems like a win for everybody. In the past a lot of people spent money on luxury goods which translated to over-paying brand name and status symbol. I would consider products…

This is perfect for my needs, thank you!!

I've used bootstrap in the past as a non-designer to get a decent set of defaults for web applications. I definitely appreciate that aspect. But I am wondering if there is a lighte…

d'oh, I meant mbps commit not gbit :S

he.net is .09!

I have my own 1/2 cab, AS number, ARIN allocated IP4 and IP6 space. It costs about $500/mo. It took maybe 100 hours to set up the basics and $6000 for the way I built the hw (which…

Isn't this still calling into the pluggable CC framework, with all the CC_ calls? You could say that the various CCs are also using RACK on linux too.

Netflix is either MulTCP (Renoish) or BBR on FreeBSD so they got that one completely wrong. Amazon Prime also has a 1/4 chance of coming from FreeBSD BBR via Limelight CDN. Anythin…

I can't help but think content producers are laughing their asses off on the way to the bank, regardless of whether people think their content is good or bad as long as they get th…

Was looking to see if anyone had experience with ERV/HRV. I would like to put these on my new to me home when I replace the HVAC units.

Seems like younger tech companies finally realized IBM was full of mid to high end talent that is severely underpaid. For instance Facebook and Amazon have poached a lot of the Lin…

VM is one of those seminal operating systems like MULTICS and ITS. There is a great video on some of the folly going on at IBM during its last really hurrah as an end user environm…

Since it is less incendiary to discuss, what if someone was wearing a Rastafarian style hat in places marijuana bills were on the ballot, is this a conflict?

The RAM heavy duty pickups have a system like this, where it's a lot harder to prevent or cut down noise of a big diesel engine, HD transmission, tcase, and tires. It really works …

One thing that makes it hard to grok is how large the scope seems to be and the cognitive bias many devs have developed against new platforms due to being burned in the past. It re…
