The restriction goes to 18k because that's the top of VFR space. Anyone operating above 18k has to be on an IFR clearance and under positive ATC control. That makes it easy for the…

Fetchmail ftw

What's missing is GenZ isn't into it. The kids are the ones that go out all the time and they drive a lot of the revenue that big clubs need to stay alive. I'm not really sure what…

Yeah, came to ask this. Aren't global shutters becoming a thing? One would assume they'll be commonplace in the not-all-that-distant future, given their advantages.

Or they could have maybe lead with that sentence and THEN given the explanation. Too many tech people have that "I want to slowly lead you to the point like Sherlock Holmes mystery…

EV drivers more than make this up by not having nearly as many externalities (pollution) as gas drivers. Gas drivers seem to always conveniently forget those real societal costs wh…

It's 100% about being able to stop adblockers

Sigh. I really liked reddit, too. :(

Do you want research or do you want an analogy? I can give you both. On the research front: "An Experimental Analysis of Erase-to-Program Interference in Multi-Level Cell NAND Flas…

The problem with this is that erase-to-program delay is a major factor in bad write quality.....you really don't want to erase a block and wait a long time before programming it. W…

The density is what's most relevant and interesting here. Pure is putting 28 of these drives in 3U - so 8.9P of nand in 3U drawing ~3kw of power. Pure gets ~2.5 data reduction on a…

Yup, looks like I mis-skimmed the article. Thrown off by the (somewhat out of place, in retrospect) quote about it. My bad.

Sadly OP is behind the times here. The storage industry has pretty much co-opted GB to mean 1000^3 bytes, which is why you see folks in the know refering to GiB for the power-of-tw…

Seriously. Give me back an office with a door, or at the very least give me a comfortable space (ie not sweatshop layout or huge cube-farm) and I'm back to the office in an instant…

Give me an option to search for "no ads" in an app, or give me nothing. I've simply stopped buying iOS apps because I'm done with the ad loads.

Trickle down economics?

"The reason natural gas is a problem right now is not that we have insufficient energy." Yeah, I stopped reading here. This is just a flat out untruth. I'm sorry if this article do…

XMPP was a nightmare. Too configurable. The exact opposite of HTTP's "just work" mentality. All the interesting functions were in XEP's and some of them (chat rooms, e.g.) were jus…

I'm usually not anti-government, but the FAA has absolutely lost its way and is causing far more harm than good nowadays. Look at lead in avgas. The Boeing fiascos. Inability and c…

I'm so sick of people equating seat belt laws w/ Vaccine&Mask mandates. For the 1000th time: Seat Belts affect you , Masks&Vaccines are about other people .

Astronomy is nice to have, but it absolutely pales in comparison to the things satellite swarms can bring us on earth. The cost is well worth it, and if astronomy is affected the s…

Look: if they aren't using lasers to shoot the weeds, I'm not interested.

You need to think more "hit it with enough energy to break cell walls and kill the weed" and not "burn it in fire like a SciFi movie.
