And this is, when it doesn't delete data randomly: https://github.com/trinodb/trino/issues/28885 (some enterprise open source was slop before AI even it seems)

300 to 4000 lines of "production like" (whatever that is) cobol code which is easily ported to a non-mainframe env. Our's sometimes uses assembler in its innards, so good luck with…

I have not researched this, but I see some 4 to 10 year olds in the family being on the phone every time I see them. Usually they stream "brainrot" on youtube on the tablet while t…

well, Claude likely is not really trained on benchmarking across such systems...

are they? It's all the same company with the brand today just used for appealing to localized government funding (because we can just shutter that factory you have there!). In the …

- Malta is selling passports and harboring criminals who kill journalists (we all remember Daphne Caruana Galizia don't we?). - buying votes/parties there would get you 10 times th…

I saw those in use 20 years ago, when physics-class visited the local nuclear-science research center. It felt like Sci-Fi then and I have not yet seen this replicated anywhere els…

They sell (managed) database appliances (on z and Power) and associated software (think the platform/HANA parts of SAP) - all state-of-the-art in the late 1990s but since then put …

very cool and the person has the skills to do that. sad to see how the fully AI generated "why this matters" section in the blog gives a lingering vibe of slop.

if you rip out linux from your linux distribution you usually end up with GNU.

well, maybe you should own your agent and fund a cooperative for that purpose?

so: where do you go and what do you do? All your land and food is subject to property laws and the way things are going the owners will be allowed violence to enforce their rights.…

look at grist! I played around with it and it seemed quite awesome.

TIL hn will tell me about archeology just a bikeride from my office. very fun!

probably the likes of Enics and GPV - nowadays this is likely a field overrun by military demand and private equity squeezing the supply side... Also I doubt that they can/want to …

Good to see that hands are still not solved...

> It also strikes me as a uniquely difficult challenge to track down the decision maker who is willing to take the risk on revamping these systems (AI or not). here that person is …

I work at a shop (a specialized provider for finance in your eyes) which still has the "transaction" workload on IBM z/OS (IMS/DB2). The parts we manage (in Openshift) interface wi…

how large are the clusters then?

we have on-prem with heavy spikes (our batch workload can utilize the 20TB of memory in the cluster easily) and we just don't care much and add 10% every year to the hardware reque…

And incidentally all documentation recommends not extending your LPARs beyond what is available on a single CPC-"node" (see [0]-2-23 for a nice (and honest...) block-diagram). If y…

I guess for IMS/CICS/TPF/... the IBM mainframe is a just fine appliance compared to the alternatives. While not exactly transaction processors, SAP HANA, Oracle Exadata and co. all…

Quite some time ago I implemented NFS for a small HPC-cluster on a 40GBe network. A colleague set up RDMA later, since at start it didn't work with the Ubuntu kernel available. Ful…

and of course this didn't take into account you posted that, because I got directed straight here by AI!
