dkdk8283··on A submarine's weakness: its software?
Hopefully very slowly, you do not want fast development. You’re developing a safety critical system and should prioritize stability over features.
dkdk8283··on Why don't you accept donations?
I liked the old internet where people posted content out of passion not for money. The quality has suffered and many think they have a right to get paid.
dkdk8283··on Monitoring 27kw Generac Generator with Raspberry Pi and Multimode Fiber
That’s not how you calculate amps. We don’t know if it’s single or three phase. It’s 113 amps @ 240v single phase.
dkdk8283··on Monitoring 27kw Generac Generator with Raspberry Pi and Multimode Fiber
I have a 22kw diesel and 500 gallons of fuel on site. During a disaster you can lose power for 2 weeks. It’s not overkill, it’s required in some areas.

You should try working in management before coming to conclusions
dkdk8283··on FBI's ability to legally access secure messaging app content and metadata [pdf]

dkdk8283··on Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
Mozilla has tested our patience with Pocket, a horrible service that’s more or less abused by Moz.
dkdk8283··on Elon Musk says SpaceX faces ‘genuine risk of bankruptcy’ from Starship engine
Isn’t that exactly what will happen if they get a gov bailout?

Remember TARP and GM?

dkdk8283··on Update on Omicron
If this is true I hope the world can reach this conclusion quickly, and get on with our lives.
dkdk8283··on T-Mobile CDMA network shutting down soon
Apple uses a Qualcomm baseband chip. They share the capabilities with other manufacturers, but Apple is working on their own baseband chip which they expect to ship in 2023.
dkdk8283··on India tells public to shun Starlink until it gets licence
How easy is it to enforce this? Can the signal be picked up on the ground?
dkdk8283··on Covid-19 vaccine certs on the dark web [pdf]
I’m glad you were able to get the vaccine, and I hope you beat cancer. Cancer has taken many loved ones from me.
dkdk8283··on Ask HN: I’d like to hire a personal/executive assistant – any tips or advice?
My friends daughter is only 17 and quite radicalized, detests anyone who can afford a home, car, etc. It’s quite sad.
dkdk8283··on Covid-19 vaccine certs on the dark web [pdf]
Any of the legal medical exemptions.
dkdk8283··on Covid-19 vaccine certs on the dark web [pdf]
Antibodies should be recognized, especially as some people cannot get the vaccine.
dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
I choose not to, as I don’t believe it makes sense.
dkdk8283··on Ask HN: I’d like to hire a personal/executive assistant – any tips or advice?
I think the background outrage levels are abnormal, doesn’t take much for someone to be on tilt.

Could also be some folks thinking if you earn enough to afford an assistant than you earn too much.

dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
I ignore advertising I don’t agree with, just like I ignore opinionated news I disagree with.

I’d still fight for both to exist regardless of my beliefs.

dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
I can’t take that argument seriously. “Think of the children” is a dead horse.

Parents can also abuse emotions, marijuana, etc. Haven’t seen anyone advocating to curb marijuana here yet.

dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
Behavior shouldn’t be projected on others.

If someone in your life is negatively affecting you consider changing who’s in your life.

We are only responsible for ourselves.

dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
It’s very much alive, the war on drugs is a racket.

A friend sold car stereos in the 80s, he would get tips in coke. He was paid a lot to cut a early projection tv in half so it could fit in his airplane and be taken back to South America.

dkdk8283··on Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s
What’s the beef with alcohol?

Some people like to get fucked up, it’s irritating when I encounter opinions that shame it or otherwise imply that it needs to be stopped. Let those who want it have it.

dkdk8283··on Why thieves love to steal catalytic converters
It’s an arms race. Regulation is a terrible option as governments are not known for their efficiency. It will likely hurt honest people and thieves will adapt and pivot, creating a “laundering” market.
dkdk8283··on A city within a city in Kyiv, whose design was inspired by Legos
In my experience it’s only young americans who romanticize communism.

It’s truly bizarre, Ukrainian people idolize the US but if only they fully comprehended the boneheaded thoughts going on in the US they may change their minds.

dkdk8283··on Explanations for the Havana Syndrome
Still unsolved?
dkdk8283··on DevOps in Academic Research
I built and ran a 1mw data center for about 7 years, it can be a headache but you can be ahead of the curve if you buy a DC that’s being vacated by someone moving to the cloud.

I paid 400k to buy about 4m worth of equipment from the previous tenant. UPS, STS, busbar distribution, 3n paralleling generators and 20,000 gallons of diesel.

Onprem doesn’t get a lot of love these days but it’s significantly cheaper.
dkdk8283··on Upgrading the soldered-on RAM of a Dell XPS13 7390 laptop
You can never be too careful, you can get cancelled for thoughts that go against groupthink.
dkdk8283··on Upgrading the soldered-on RAM of a Dell XPS13 7390 laptop
Unleaded solder is awful, sadly.
