Glass bottles cost a lot to transport, occupy a lot of space, must be washed and sterilised. PET bottles are crushed in the machine that you return them to so they occupy less space and are much lighter. Here in Norway where most drinks containers have a deposit we have almost completely switched to PET bottles and aluminium cans for beer and soft drinks on the grounds that recycling PET bottles and aluminium cans is cheaper than reusing glass ones.

"It is the home base for the Navy’s fleet throughout West Puget Sound, provides base operating services, support for both surface ships and fleet ballistic missile and other nuclear submarines as one of the U.S. Navy's four nuclear shipyards, one of two strategic nuclear weapons facilities, and the only West Coast dry dock capable of handling a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and the Navy's largest fuel depot. Naval Base Kitsap is the third-largest Navy base in the U.S."
The wiki was not maintained and quite outdated. It probably still exists but may be read-only. You are right that there isn't a suitable replacement. Coreboot is more a developer centric project than a traditional OSS project with a large community.

I'll try to argue that most of these don't benefit much from a wearable HUD.

Maps and navigation seem to be good enough when they are handheld or mounted on a vehicle. When you are on foot you're moving slowly so no need to have it always visible. Yes, there's a special case of you're on foot and carrying two heavy bags in both hands, in an unfamiliar place outdoors, and cannot stop, and do not speak local language. Voice navigation should still suffice.

Video instructions. Some of them have to be seen in advance to be able to plan your actions and logistics (e.g. cooking). Some of them teach skills which should be watched multiple times and/or tried multiple times to achieve mastery (e.g. sports and dancing techniques). What kind of instructional video benefits from being seen while doing, in real time? Even origami howtos are usually back and forth, until you _understand_ what you're doing.

To be fair, there was previously no systematic exit control process in US airports unlike in many countries including the Schengen area bloc, and many other countries have also long required photographs of non-citizens/non-residents along with exit controls. The US is more in line with the UK, Canada, etc. approach that doesn't allow any way of way of definitively knowing whether someone on a visa or restricted permit actually left the country if they were supposed to.

While I would have preferred a non-biometric approach for everyone, I'm hoping that moving some of the burden to exit control 1. lessens the workload of immigration enforcement domestically, and 2. encourages a very slow transition towards more seamless international transfers given that US airports usually weren't built for this, although a lot more work would be needed here.

About the same? Last I checked for our somewhat static work load on a bunch of webservers, AWS would be x10 in pricing. Not to mention that you need someone who has deep AWS knowledge and experience to manage your system, just like you need someone who manages your dedicated servers in a DC.

It's great for workloads that fluctuate extremely, or require massive scaling in very short time. Not sure about the increased security. If you run your images on EC2, it's still up to you to not mess up the config.

So one thing I still wonder about is why PCIe peripherals often present themselves as a region of memory to the main processor. If the chipset/CPU is buffering writes for fast transmission, does it guess when you are done writing? Is any regular of the normal RAM caches used? If so what happens when write only a partial cache line? It seems so backward to me.

> Shifting any non trivial infrastructure into AWS verbatim is always more expensive than running it yourself.

The free tier of AWS lambdas has enough room to do non-trivial applications for free, and in EC2 we can get t2.micro and t3.micro instances (2vCPU, 1GB RAM) with 750h/month for free, which pretty much means you can have the instance running the whole month for free.

Depending on what you need to do, in the very least it's possible to run a system (or parts of it ) for free, which is hard to beat.

Having said this, allowing a system architect to go nuts with AWS without being mindful of its cost is something that easily gets far too expensive far too fast. If all anyone wants is EC2 and there's no need for global deployments then you'd be better off going with cloud providers such as Hetzner. A couple of minutes with a calculator and a napkin at hand is enough to arrive at the conclusion that AWS makes absolutely no sense, cost-wise.

Native phone apps are more invasive and can therefore be used for more extensive tracking and spying, which is good for ad revenue.

I disagree. "Limit on the post size" was not arbitrary, it was a technical limitation - Twitter was created as "a social network, but for SMS". SMS was a well-known technology back then. As for "this funny algorithm", in context of the dialogue 'endisneigh posted, the algorithm is just an input. "Hey, AI, use that thing as a ranking function". The "extrapolative" work would be the invention of the algorithm itself.

> A lane is composed of 2 wires: one for inbound communications and one, which has double the traffic bandwidth, for outbound.

I might be wrong, but I believe PCIe lanes are differential. Meaning you have to have 2 pairs of wires (1 for each direction), not 1 totaling 4 physical wires per lane.

Also both pairs in the lane should have the same bandwidth but since they are "full duplex" system, you might say it doubles the overall bandwidth of the lane but it does not mean that one of them is twice as fast.
> You think it's just conservative talking points that are being censored?

No, I think the fact that the law was passed (and that Abbot openly admitted it, which makes it much easier to prove) to advance a particular political viewpoint means that (independent of whether it might be framed neutrally or have neutral effect) it is Constitutionally impermissible, since either of an improper purpose, improper mechanism, or improper effect can make a law unconstitutional.

How would a Microsoft Linux distro be different from, say, Ubuntu? Would it bundle WINE, perhaps with Microsoft insider knowledge of how their APIs work? How would they make money on Windows if everyone could just use that?
Importantly it really did not focus on actually supporting a migration (ie, IPv4 only nodes connecting to IPv6 only or visa versa). And yeah, it scrambled up lots of things for very little gain - even big players like Google took a while to support it across their entire stack.
Minor correction to the article. It mentions that each PCIe lane has two wires. One for inbound and one for outbound.

I think this should really read that each lane has two differential pairs (interestingly the diagram shows twisted pairs). One for inbound, one for outbound. Which sums to four wires (or traces) in total for each lane.

I’m also a little confused about the whole

> A lane is composed of 2 wires: one for inbound communications and one, which has double the traffic bandwidth, for outbound.

Not really sure what the author is trying to say. But the ideas that outbound has double the bandwidth doesn’t really make much sense, as outbound is different depending on perspective as a device. So I read this statement as saying that each device transmits at twice the speed the receiving device can receive data. Which is clearly non-sensical.
Of course you need something practical to start with, but do you start with a todo app or trying to build a compiler?
So, as I understand it the problem with the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is that layers of paints have already been stripped and damaged (the layering of very thin coats of paint is the signature of Leonardo's technique) and the varnish itself has been carefully applied by Leonardo and is somewhat part of the painting. Add that the wood panels it's on have contorted and you've got an extremely difficult piece to restore. It's better to act very conservatively with it.

> defrag.exe simply would not run no matter what (I needed it to TRIM the SSD)

Would be interested in the logic here, given that it runs counter to what I thought was extremely obvious advice by now.

Defrag generates writes to rearrange blocks in the _virtual_ view of storage visible to the OS, but even after defragmentation, the _physical_ placement is totally outside the control of anything except the firmware. If after defragmentation a file's blocks are arranged (0, 1, 2, 3) in the OS-visible view, in flash are still very likely to to be arranged (412, 77, 1, 12341, 5) etc. All you can do is let it know that some range of sectors is not used, which is what TRIM enables, and that does not require defragmentation upfront.

So you need to change your application into a GPL licensed application. That’s what I meant.

Important note: the writer says they started on Java and had trouble grasping OOP concepts. No wonder, because Java is not an object-oriented language—it is a class-oriented language. This is especially apparent from the inheritance mechanisms.

JavaScript, on the other hand, is an object-oriented language down to its prototypal inheritance. There are no classes, only objects and primitives (which can get transparently promoted to objects).

This enables DMA (direct memory access) which is a much faster way of moving data around.

It allows the CPU (or any other device in the PCI bus) to write/read data to/from the device when it’s convenient for the sender, without having to interrupt whatever the receiving device is currently doing.

You still need to coordinate with the device to tell it that you’ve written to its memory, or read from it. But that’s a pretty cheap operation.

The alternative is the both CPU and GPU would have to stop what their doing and manage the data copy while doing nothing else.

So it’s basically the difference between sending someone an email vs giving them a call.

With DMA your emailing a big document, the later calling to make sure they received it. Without DMA it would be like calling them and reading the document out over the phone. One is clearly better for everyone’s productivity.

While Linux may have raw performance benchmark crown, it is essentially DOS of the OS world where you can run a process fast but user experience is similar to what was there in the 80's - one application can freeze the UI for all.
