> You can make money any time But big SV money? I wouldn't be so sure. Ageism is rampant in tech. FAANGs love their coders young, in 20's-30's. Also the dollar saved earlier in lif…

Tried HP z27q for a month under Linux with Cinnamon, didn't like it. Being a DP 1.2 monitor, 5K resolution is implemented as an ugly hack using MST and two displayport connections.…

Very useful for storing medium/large-scale crawls. Common Crawl is 200TB+ per month ( http://commoncrawl.org/connect/blog/ ). Uncompressed, if compressed it'd probably go through o…
