Yep. Engineering almost always involves experimenting for suitability of multiple approaches, configurations, and other concerns. Measure, measure, and measure some more while considering nonfunctional requirements/concerns... something no LLM can (yet) do. (I don't hold out hope that there won't soon be some fully-autonomous coding/systems management LLMs that can create a tight Prompt/REPL/Test loop to take requirements and feedback directly from users.)

IIS, Apache HTTPd, and Nginx have supported rewrite rules with wildcards and regex since forever.

Thus, there's no absolute rule that serving a static state must faithfully map to filesystem representation except convenience. Nor, do dynamic requests need to map to include the details of dynamic handler URIs unless the application cannot change generated links.

Revealing backend state, while somewhat Security Through Obscurity (STO)(TM), it's unwise to volunteer extraneous information without a purpose. Preferably, some other simple, one-way hash external representation should be used.

I played client-side Netscape JS and Apache HTTPd CGI bash shell scripts (not even Perl) to write a toy multiuser chat app in 1996. IIRC, it used a primitive form of long polling where it kept an HTTP/0.9 session open with keepalive commands periodically and then broadcasted the message received to all other users who were also connected.

With retail hardware, definitely, but there is boundary PTP support with enterprise gear.

For telco gear, there is PTP + SyncE.

Oddly enough, I bought a bunch of M.2 format adapter things from the overseas fleamarket. One includes 9 SATA ports in a 2280 form factor. I've also seen PCIe x8/x16 expansion boards that connect via M.2.

If I had transfinite funds, I would make a video about turning a dual socket motherboard+CPU combination with the most PCIe lanes with the goal to connect maximum GPUs via Thunderbolt 4 hubs and enclosures, PCIe bifurcation cards, and M.2-to-PCIe adapters (whichever method maximizes GPU count) all powered by many PSUs.

They need IPX67 servers that can double as submarine thrusters.

FAANGs have gone from wunderkind darlings that would pave the way for progress, like turn of the 20th-century-style, to monopolistic, feudal overlords rapaciously seeking to exploit land and resources with zero concern for the environment or locals' quality of life.

That's pretty much the way it had to go, other than doing full immersion cooling like GRC that never caught on. Meta has various rack-based chill water heat-exchanger cooling solutions but this looks a bit more integrated.

FF 142.0 with uBlock Origin works fine.

That's a given. It is, but it's not a binary on/off. It's a sliding continuum of enshitification and the current trend is to rapidly increasing towards worse. It rarely/never goes back the other way.

Don't worry, the Oval Office regime will find new ways to turn America into a pariah state that only trades with Russia.

Sigh Yep. Dunning-Kruger effect specimens hammer out puff pieces to get their participation awards.

It's a Zone X flood zone bounded by Zone AE that runs through the parcel. 22083C0260D

It's a pretty piss poor location to invest a boat load of money without putting servers in actual boats.

Its website still works and there's a gpg key, so it's a "shutdown" rather than shutdown.

It's one of the problems created by allowing billionaire technofeudal overlords to do whatever they want. They believe they are entitled to anything and everything, and so everything they make turns to shit to fool you into maintaining it and rebuying it faster and faster.

No need because there's chruby and/or asdf that do it elegantly. Looks like NIH reventing rvm.

While I was going to community college in the late 90's, I had an IT consulting biz where I serviced mechanical engineers and folks in the US nuclear industry who were ex-General Electric (GE NE). I learned nuclear was heavily-regulated (rightfully so) and costly but the main barriers to new sites were insurance, the huge capital investment, and the very long project cycles. As such, these are just too risky for most business people and investors. Nowadays, even with SMRs, the ROI still doesn't make sense given the massive, massive advances in renewables and regional grid storage. Very few Americans want an unproven, fly-by-night startup SMR in their neighborhood or in their county. I'd be okay with just a few mega reactors in fixed sites in very remote areas that would be heavily defended with perimeter security and anti-aircraft/-drone emplacements. I'm not okay with SMRs on flatbed trailers with minimal security in urban areas.

Noise. Although I don't swear at LLMs, I swear and insult digital assistants.

In the future, I anticipate LLMs and digital assistants will be touchier than 15-year-old American spoiled brats and refuse to cooperate unless their artificial egos are respected. I anticipate AI passive-aggressiveness will emerge within my lifetime and people will pay subscriptions for it.

In open source-terms, America is behaving the way of grsec. It doesn't even have a Wikipedia page anymore.

The Peter Thiel-brand of libertarianism is utopian, techofeudual, illiberal, and amoral. To be fair, Ezra Klein's "Abundance" neo-neoliberalism also exhibits themes of utopian techofeudalism, illiberalism, and amorality too. Neither of these movements have any sense of self-awareness or American history, but they are extremely popular with billionaires through decamillionaires who promote them to the detriment of ordinary Americans.

I suspect the revolution will not be televised, and AOC will be POTUS in 2029 should things keep going as they are. Maybe an American Nero or Caligula would happen in 2031 as yet another underdamped ideological over-reaction, but I hope not.

Could also be just slop or failure to organize.

0. Is this retreading IRAM with more steps?

1. Did IRAM ever end up in anything remotely commercially-successful?

2. Is there any movement to eliminate or simplify memory controllers by throwing more RAM chiplets in manycore CPUs? The gradient vector in SOCs points to including a fixed amount of RAM anyhow.

Don't fall for the commute hype. Get a life that doesn't living at work or require sitting in traffic to fulfill the whims of management control-freaks.

US police, in effect, are a lawless, violent, honorless, untouchable, mafia who protect and serve primarily a landed aristocracy. In some ultra-exclusive communities, city police are literally reduced to Dashers and grocery getters. Similar venues and communities in the States also pay for hybrid PMC/LE QRFs who roll with battle rattle more than body armor and long guns.

This a natural consequence of allowing those with profit motives to commit regulatory capture, regulate themselves, or deregulate via corrupting government over decades. If America cared about safety in goods and services, the precautionary principle would be the standard and campaign finance corruption would be forbidden.

Can't really cook lettuce...

There it is. True, it's very painful to wrap C++ code into C libraries (or requiring C calling conventions) where C++ isn't allowed.

Separately, I'm wondering if anyone uses Kotlin Multiplatform and how well that works for iOS development.

In general, it's good practice to use best components available, regardless of source. Cryptographic components especially shouldn't be DIY.

It would be cool if Ruby did something similar for stdlib/openssl, but it could be also be done in a gem too.

This is so vague as to be meaningless because body of research (attacks and hw-accelerated implementations), details, implementations, uses, and adversary/ies budget(s) matter. Furthermore, the obsession with optimizing for "fast" cryptographic algorithms/implementations undermine themselves when it comes to the cost of CPU-bound brute force attack which become cheaper and more attainable over time.
