That sounds very interesting to hear about! What diminished the day-to-day difficulty for you? Is it because the ecosystem became more mature, or did you "crack the code" for how t…

Except for a large part of Europe, the relative humidity is quite high. So, they're suffering more than most. I say this as someone who once lived in a desert and is well accustome…

Yeah, that's also a very good point. I imagine they're going to need to support that use case indefinitely. Hence their edge/IoT line of managed switches.

I agree with you that you can't rely on hydro alone to power your country. It also seems like you're trying to be reasonable and suggest that any new nuclear production in your cou…

I tend to agree with you. In my opinion, as long as the majority of their profits come from people continuing to buy the self-host devices, it is fairly unlikely they'll ever stop …

I have heard others say the same as you about Ubiquiti devices. I genuinely curious what bottlenecks you've hit. I've only been using Ubiquiti as a pro-sumer, but it has held up we…

I’m confused. Docker Desktop isn’t supported on Linux? I just followed Docker’s docs [0] to get Docker Desktop installed on Ubuntu. Maybe I’m missing some specific point you’re mak…

Yes, this is correct. When you put the CD into a regular player, a strikingly beautiful (but monotonous) woman’s voice would say: “This CD is made for the Turbografx game system. P…

Still own multiple TG-16’s. The CD-ROM attachment plus Ys: Book I & II was a modern technical marvel at the time. Hearing full hi-fi stereo anime rock and roll instead of chip tune…

As someone who owns a SNES and a TG-16, I think I disagree. The TG-16 graphics really pop compared to the SNES. The SNES can only render 256 simultaneous colours. The TG-16 could d…

I keep hearing about natural gas and on-site power for these data centres. I'll believe it when I see it. There are already have a couple in Calgary and they're hooked directly to …

The data coming from the University of Calgary about the data centres they're building in Alberta, Canada seems to indicate that they're using evaporative cooling, which is very ex…

This... so much this. > too many SKUs and models - it takes a paragraph to figure out how 2 Dell laptops from the same release year differ. And yet, I just watched a YouTube video …

Are you absolutely sure they don't want us to add the capacity for them with a pathway for further government subsidies? Almost everything in tech has been subsidized in one way or…

> I'd expect something more like a callback where you would specify how your input gets written to a buffer Yes, and this is the way it works JS currently. The reason I'm commentin…

So... have we now confirmed that the only thing preventing us from running macOS off our iPhones is a software limitation? (I'm being facetious, if the hardware was open, someone w…

Thanks for this. I was feeling similarly reading the original post. I was trying to keep an open mind, it's easy to be wrong with all that's going on in the industry right now. Tha…

Interesting, thanks for the info, I'll do some reading on what you're saying. I agree, you're right about JS having issues with hiccups in the UI due to scheduling on a single proc…

I think we're having a completely different conversation now. The parent comment I originally replied has been edited so much that I think the context of what I was referring to is…

What happens when I send an extremely high throughput of data and the scheduler decides to pause garbage collection due to there being too many interrupts to my process sending net…

> Adding types on top of that isn't a protocol concern but an application-level one. I agree with this. I have had to handle raw byte streams at lower levels for a lot of use-cases…

This reminds me of the Unreal Tournament: Xan episode from the Secret Level series. Link for those curious or confused as to what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

Ah, yeah. I see what you're saying. That is more of an open vs proprietary platform problem. I am fairly sure that nVidia intentionally wants to keep addressable memory as a featur…

I also want what you're describing. It seems like the ideal "data-in-out" pipeline for purely compute based shaders. I've brought it up several times when talking with folks who wo…

> My method was simply to think. To think hard and long... This method never failed me. I always felt that deep prolonged thinking was my superpower. I might not be as fast or natu…
