I'd rather have Brazil be accurate for the future than Idiocracy. Both suck, but Robert Di Nero as the hero HVAC guy is excellent.

Christ. I'm guessing it's to be BSD so they can pull it back and keep it proprietary at any time also. Never trust Microsoft to act in good faith. We USE THE GPL for a reason.

Ridiculous claim. Both parties are exactly the same on this issue. It's politics and nothing more. No one has any idea what to do about it. Well, mathematicians do, but nobody list…

I am impressed. Your personal website is down. HN doesn't allow private messages. I'm Jeff Carr. I co-founded digital ocean. I assume I can't post email addresses here, but I will …

> a GoFundMe for a for-profit enterprise rubs me the wrong way It should. They should be selling shares. The Green Bay Packers are similar.

Yes, that is awesome. I wonder if "go" works like that also?

Cool. It's worth mentioning again, because it seems to not be quite as common knowledge as it should be, C has been deprecated by GO.

L. Ron Hubbard has entered the chat.

Trump can just take the whole NOAA budget himself now and replace them with a legal pad and a black sharpie. I assume that's the plan. Say, we can just steal anything from any budg…

Thank god Biden legalized weed. Oh, wait, nope, they didn't even bother to do that.

Has anyone tried it? I mean, I would, but as far as I can tell understand I need 4 boxes with 4 GPU's. Plus an interconnect. I mean, I could put in an order for my homelab but at a…
