Desktop use is probably the best option for daily driver, since almost everything on the motherboard has support, most likely.

To get 10Mbps of Ethernet, they would bond together 7x T1s on the SONET side...

As mentioned, it is a "large enough company" already; they have full time sysadmins running things.

Adding another rack beside the VMWare cluster, managing any storage/networking issues, etc. will be incremental costs; they already have a pager (probably not a pager not anymore just an app on their phone) like rotation schedule etc.

An experimental/homebuilt of similar but not exactly the same design, the Dyke Delta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyke_Delta of which about 50 have been built, has its pilots reporting a comfortable ride.

The EUV lithography process and other pieces that comprise what ASML sells was developed with US government funding, and it remains encumbered by that. The US government thus has veto power over the tech, and thus over ASML.

The placement of the Krone pack in the photo at link, makes me laugh: it would never survive in the USA, given the way truck drivers drive and the bumps and curbs etc. that trucks drive over. It would be ripped off or at least heavily damaged within 50K miles.

Management listened to the siren call of "it's easier and cheaper".

Now they still have to pay for the same senior sysadmins they were told they wouldn't need anymore, but, with the added bonus of paying 10-1000x for bandwidth over what they could get if they had stayed on-prem.

OpenVMS ran on the Itanium also; wonder how far it could get in booting?

EPIC is Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing; nothing to do with the AMD trademark word, EPYC.

If it was just recognizing license plates that would be fine. However it fingerprints individuals by running a Bluetooth and WiFi connection to capture your phone or laptop’s Bluetooth MAC and WiFi MAC.

There are Flock cameras placed along running paths where there are no cars, and other places that would never need license plate readers.

Does Flock have a microphone that can record you talking with your friend while watching ducks at the local park?

The RAID5 write hole is not present in RAIDZ1 I believe.

Taylor Swift just used how many tons to get married?

Agreed, I just wanted to point out that it is still around!

There are newer versions of M/MUMPS around and some of them are open-source such as YottaDB https://yottadb.com/ and Reference Standard M https://gitlab.com/Reference-Standard-M/rsm .

I've never been quite brave enough to try to build something with it.

It’s tough to find them on eBay; I wonder what the right search terms are?

For a change of pace in Russian authors, I would recommend the newer "Jamila" by Chingiz Aitmatov, 1958.

A friend met with Oracle salesdroids (his company has spent a few million with them in the last few years).

They told him everything is oriented towards AI, to the point that otherwise profitable software is not being updated and development has stopped on anything new.

Oracle has a lot of niche solutions and the one my friend’s corporation uses is profitable but not on the AI path, so it is being put into maintenance mode.

IIRC it was Greenspan that didn’t mean to, but did disclose the use of gold swaps, so even if there is all the gold that is claimed to be in Fort Knox, the question of who owns the gold is unanswered.

Two years ago I paid $60, CASH, no co-pay, no insurance, for X-rays of my hips. They were all digital and I got the interpretation (which was included) before I had finished driving the hours' drive home.

Good to see that there is still development going on, a year after the fork on it. I don't view the love for Wayland as requiring deprecation of X11 or vice versa.

If it works by reducing “wanting” then it may change not only violent behavior but the flip side, attachment and love.

I read or was told that 60% of the Russian economy flows through Moscow in one way or another.

AWS gets a lot of money from both the unclassified government work they do plus the more secretive work. If they were required to disclose as part of that, they would disclose - why put all those contracts at risk?

It installed perfectly on my V210 UltraSPARC machine and also on an Intel i5-8400T ( from memory) HP desktop. Very nice distribution!

Password to bypass the Magna Carta and hundreds of years of reserving power to the British people: “Its4TheKids”

I think some of the devs are Russian and a quick scan of the video doesn't show anything other than a shared screen for the bulk of the time (using the mouse to grab the time pointer and move it quickly through the length of the presentation).

Google will do everything other than let you run stock Linux on a phone.

You may need to revise your methematical model.

Their semiconductor manufacturing was 10-15 years behind the Western technology. They just didn’t have the capability. Despite that they had good brains and delivered efficiently with what they had.

The frustrating thing is, that for not much more spent at the time of construction, we could have nearly maintenance-free homes for 80 years or more.

Like, why use wood in an climate like the American South, where there are multiple species of termites that like to eat wood?

I was a member at a maker space - the building has been around since the 40s or 50s and never damaged by a hurricane - why? The roof (with a rubber rolled roof on top) along with the rest of the building is made out of concrete.
