yes, they have. It just costs a shit ton of money and is extremely difficult to get the suits to sign off on TWO full 'cloud services' bills. It generally doubles your cost and wor…

It's basically what leads to extended downtime almost every time. There are just some things in the stack that are still single points of failure, and when they fail it's a mess.

You might be counting out the value of government and military contracts that might not want to do business with a wild card. SpaceX is killing it because the US government gives t…

I am serious, mechanical watches are fascinating but they are much less accurate that a cheap quartz watch.

I’ve never heard the bring one or three, I’ve always just heard three. I think that exact saying implies that if you have two and one isn’t working out you’ll go crazy but if you h…

Two is one and one is none

You can definitely average two relatively accurate chronometers but you if you only have two it’s difficult to tell if one is way fast or way slow. In a perfect world they drift le…

I hope not because I’ve been doing my US taxes on Linux for 15 years. It’s probably a specific windows desktop app, probably TurboTax by intuit, the company that lobbies to make fi…

My sister was the same, she brought her machine over, I booted a Ubuntu disk and did the disk config in the install and then she set the rest of the stuff up and I haven’t heard fr…

Which for AI companies would be every public GitHub page to start.

If you do regulate. We currently have full regulatory capture in most industries and regulators that are doing their jobs are either hamstrung or the laws are so far behind the ind…

What gui were you running?

Seems doubtful as this guy has spent a lot of time wigg the this and can’t get one.

Well, There's not going to be much because it would violate NDA, but, nothing is 'elastic'. Somewhere, someone, has to buy a set amount of servers, based on a running capacity proj…

Sure, and when I go, 'I'm just going to slap this together and if it dies I'll rebuild it' I run on ext4 instead of an experimental service. If there is a reason that I need to run…

Who’s using an experimental filesystem and risking critical data loss? Rule one of experimental file systems is have a copy on a not experimental file system.

He could release a patch that can be pulled by the people that need it. If you’re using experimental file systems, I’d expect you to be pretty competent in being able to hold your …

I do know that though that assumes some things about os and shell. Run a full screen term on my machine for a good chunk of my workflow and I just like to have time and battery in …

That’s not a typewriter no matter how much you’d want to make that connection.

The internet, especially post phone keyboards, is extremely inconsistent about punctuation. I’m not sure how anyone could think an llm wouldn’t be.

I mapped to alt space, which breaks things some times ten years on, but I just drop whatever is bound to that key in my DE and move on.

Given a situation in which you have a decent way to guess user names, such as ‘first-initial-lastname’ how much entropy does this take away? It seems like I’ve seen several of thes…

They re-keyed it specifically so it could be nested, however, they mention the prefix key is intentionally dumb and ment to be remapped, probably to ^a like screen.

The difficulty here is that in the example above, it's unlikely, given any amount of scale, that the two people were on the same team. They were doing different things with the sam…

I thought it was so I could go back 1 year and say, 'I was against this from the beginning and I was quite vocal that if you do this, the result will be the exact mess you're askin…
