Ubuntu MAAS to provision servers - when new server arrives guys at the DC just need to plug it in and power it once, everything else is just clicking around.

Pyinfra to manage and install software (I'm fed up with custom DSLs, pyinfra is pure python)

Anyone knows where to buy a ready-made low profile split keyboard like this?

Well he didn't burn 44B, twitter market value is 44B right now because someone just bought it for 44B,

Pyinfra is great, simple and no DSL! just pure python

Huh, magic, obviously useful only if database size > RAM

That's taken out of context! He mean that some companies that raised billions of dollars are a scam.

Can be replaced with 300 servers with ScyllaDB :-)

Yup, good one for a light read and thinking about the world

Self driving cars will work, very soon, people underestimate recent breakthroughs in AI.

( Leaving a note on HN just to say "I told you so" ;-)

I think the problem is not in the robot hardware but in the software, same as with self driving cars.

What would help the development would be a "standard" hardware platform one can just buy and add own code.

Feels a lot snappier than the real thing :-)

I think the problem is using "the cloud" eroded knowledge of physical infrastructure in new DevOps guys.

Going to the DC once every few months to add new servers was a good way to remember how to deal with hardware and train new people. I used to take interns/junior devs just to show them how it looks.

Excessive planning permissions are cancer, years of discussion if you can build a house on your own land.

After 19+ years of hosting my own email - It's worth it!

Imagine someone revokes your access or deletes all your emails because of an error, at the scale of gmail or outlook.com it just happens.

For spam there is one solution:

- implement greylisting. It just solves the problem.

Exactly this, in rust it will even more complicated than in Go

A bit of an overkill, just buy a 2nd hand laptop for cash, install linux and use a chat app that does not require a phone number.

People are "gluing things together" for a very long time, that's what everyone does!

All ideas as remixes of previous ideas

Why make a crazy big camera bump then? Without the case my phone does not lie flat on the desk

Hi, small fix:

$ hdparm -tT /dev/sdN - partition reading & writing benchmark

It will just benchmark reading, not writing, perfectly safe to run it on a disk with data.

Zoom is an enterprise solution, privacy is not really a problem, they don't sell ads

What a day...

Very bad start of the day :(

Cloudflare.com now up, and websites are coming up, argo tunnels still down

The target never is to just "build" bigger LHC.

The important part is "building" which pumps billions into research programs for improving materials/electronics etc.

Sure we can defund all expensive science and maintain the status quo, last time we did this dark ages happened.

Evolution Zero is just a technology demonstration, contact us at https://evolution.ai for demo of a full product.

Yes, it's a "zero-shot" deep learning model, it's using both image and the text from the page to make predictions.

"However, on our 4 TB production database, the initial dump and restore never completed: DMS encountered an error but failed to report the error to us."

THERE IS NO CLOUD: It’s just someone else’s computer

Finally it might be possibe to work from the beach!

Waiting for first benchmarks, we might have a suprise

You are off by 1000x:

2000 nSv/h * 10 hours = 20 μSv (microsieverts) = 0.02 mSv (millisieverts)

When is Hans Reiser out?

We should just give him a laptop to finish reiser4
