Yes, there are a few calculators online, this is one of them: https://experienceaptera.com/solarcalculator.html

Yeah, saw this ... was hoping that there's a torrent of it somewhere already. Or something.

Where can this 1tb k3.waste be downloaded?

I'm baffled by the fact that NUMA is still an issue in 2026. My impression is that this was all solved back in dotcom era already on those big SUNs. At least in HPC we solved this …

Cool (literally ;) Now they just need to find something that will work on Venus.

To add on this, what I see gaining traction are "workflow managers", tools that let people specify flow of data through various tools. These can figure out how to parallelize thing…

All these fancy HPC languages are all nice and dandy, but the hard reality I see on our cluster is that most of the work is done in Python, R and even Perl and awk. MPI barely reac…

DB of known proteins is not where the money can be made, designing new proteins is. This is why AlphaFold3 (that can aid in this) is now wrapped in layers of legalese preventing yo…

Servers? I thought they left even racks behind, they're now selling these "AI factories".

Afaik Intel's first foray into this territory was their i960mx which ended up in F-22.

In performance per watt? One ;)

Wow, google suddenly looks much better. How do we make this change permanent? (not a joke)

VR situation was much worse. On the hardware where 2020 was OKish, 2024 was unplayable.

Yeah ... by now 2020 reached a beta quality, still plenty of bugs left to squash but most of them are minor. 2024 on the other side ... is just transitioning from tech demo to alph…

Been using lvm cache since about 2017 in high performance storage environment. Didn't like it much as it was too much of a blask box back then and didn't have any knobs to tune to …

Hedgehog's dilema. Interacting today with random average human being leads in 99% to such a painful disappointing conclusion that I got PTSD from it. Just being within a line of si…

Reminds me of ACME phoon ... I used to have this in my .bashrc ;) https://acme.com/software/phoon/

And if you want an anime series that you can classify like this, check out "Now and then, here and there".

And how does that lead to colorful flashing pattern that "collapses" some 30 seconds after it appears?

Yes, this makes magic on real hardware and I see it do nothing on emulators. So something really funny must be going on here ...

I still don't get what POKE 23641,194 RUN does on zx spectrum. And you get different patterns for different values, say 197. And wait for a minute or so to see something even more …

Why not just call it swamp? It would better describe the python ecosystem mess ;) Jokes aside, this feels very meta: package manager for a package manager for a package manager. Re…

Indeed, sound mix is rather amazing. Incredible stereo picture and depth, something you seldom hear in modern movies.

Is D runtime still crashing when host has more than 128 cpu cores? I learned this the hard way ...

Gives nice retro vibes ... mail like we were doing it back at the end of last millenium. Proper old school :)
