I would agree with this. While I run Plex and/or miniflux or as he put an OTS Nas, I also use it to provision Luns, or test things that I may consider for work.

Here are a few of the deployments that originated in my home lab but ended up in a prod environment at work

1. Replacing hardware load balancers with haproxy. (This started with a few options, including Nginx, and some others. But haproxy and it’s web management, csv monitoring gave me the best capability to integrate at work)

2. Vpn appliances for covid. I was able to whip up 2-4 scalable VPN appliances based on openvpn in “1/2 a day” at work because I was able to flesh out most of that at home.

3. Vulnerability scanners

4. HIDS security tools. In the end we went with a OTS vendor but options like ossec, wazuh etc were ruled out in a lab.

5. Ansible (over some of the other options)

6. Squid for reporting on the HIDS mentioned above.

There’s probably more. I know there is. And point blank a lot of this stuff had mock ups done at home because I have full control and am not subject to auditors etc when evaluating them. Whereas I do thst at work and I have to do more work writing up justification or change requests etc. it’s just easier at home.

All that said I try to keep the house as flat and plain Jane as I can.
$8.99, $13.99, $17.99 since the last increase. But in 2018 the prices were $7.99, $8.99, $11.99. It's definitely gone up significantly in just a few years.
There are two forms of "summon". There's regular summon, where you have to hold down a button to make the car go forward or back. It does turn to avoid obstacles, but with a very nervous energy. Regular summon is super slow, 1-2 miles per hour. If you let go of the button the car stops, but not as quickly as you'd think. It takes about a full second.

Smart summon does have wild raccoon energy. In this case, you need to be within ~200 feet and the car uses its GPS location to plot a path to you. It will back out and turn around obstacles. But it goes kind of fast. Uncomfortably fast. I had my car whip around a turn and nearly hit a parked car. I don't think I've ever seen it work well. Or at least it has always ended with me letting go of the phone kill switch. Which again, takes around a full second to stop the car.

Like someone else commented, this is a very different system than "full self driving" (16 year-old that just got their license energy), which is also a different thing than "Autopilot" (works great on highways).
When it was on scifi the funding was done by splitting syndication rights with scifi, amazon and netflix

Scifi dropped out because they didn’t think enough people watched it, their inferior cable model has no way of collecting data on what actual humans do, and when they would do it especially by being limited in airings things at a set time

This effectively cancelled the show since it didn’t have funding

And then amazon/jeff bezos picked it up completely after a major fan campaign

This is wrong. It's a good rule of thumb because passive voice can be a common indicator of weak writing, but it has plenty of good uses in strong writing. The best case to apply it is when the object of a sentence was previously a subject or other focus of prior sentences, and so is more familiar to the reader than the subject of the new sentence. For example:

"The United States had maintained neutrality until 1941. However, it was attacked at Pearl Harbor, and then chose to enter the war."

To me most of the new shows that has LGBTQ+ content, the LGBTQ+ stuff feels incredibly forced to the point of detracting from the story.

I can't help but feel they're just trying to tick a marketing checkbox as I watch it.

I have no problem with well written normal characters, either straight or LGBTQ+. Nor a bunch of LGBTQ+ characters dialed to 11 if that's a plot point.

The essence is that there is no metabolic pathway to convert dietary ethanol into lipids or glycogen. Any unused ethanol is excreted through the lungs or kidneys. Granted ingesting enough ethanol such that it’s too much for your immediate energy needs is a life limiting decision.

On a data driven platform of all places, we should be able to mutually acknowledge that one Tweet does not a pattern or movement make. I, too, can raise anecdata that I've never seen someone justify LatinX as a move to gain power.

The fact the term is dying further reinforces my point: it failed. No power gained. Does optionally calling master 'main' give people power? Do you really believe that? As far as I can tell, the 'wokes' you are so afraid of seem to be failing pretty often recently. If I believed in the existence of the 'woke' monster under my bed, and they had this track record, I would simply ignore them.

Did 'wokeism' stop Disney from losing its special tax status in Florida? No.

Did 'wokeism' stop Texas from passing laws restricting transgender students and their families? No.

Did 'wokeism' stop the abortion bounty laws from passing in Texas? No.

Has 'wokeism' prevented the recent book bannings across the US; for example, the recent banning of math books in Florida? No.

Was 'wokeism', the root of this Orwellian system you propose will engulf us, the reason why state government in Florida censored the phrase 'climate change' in state congress? I would be very surprised.

Who exactly is gaining or losing power here? And why are you so adamant that the culture war will somehow involve GitHub?

Agree with you about preferring real switches.

Except older CPUs already sequenced heavily within an instruction. Even more than you might think. Z80 for instance only had a 4bit ALU and would pump it many times to get the bit width required. Early 808x would be 5 or so cycles per instruction on average. Internally though, their microcode issued once a cycle typically.

> But you can't pipeline a complicated microcoded instruction set. Everything that happens has to fit in the same pipeline stages. So, the instruction set naturally becomes "reduced".

That's what they said in the early 80s, but then the 486 came out. AFAIK the longest pipelined general purpose systems were also fairly heavily microcoded (Netburst).

In truly rural areas there’s not a lot of people period. Small towns are better but you’re still dealing with a small number. Better to find a beautiful place and then find your community online.

> Netflix decided to crackdown on password-sharing: my brother moved away some months ago and has been using our Netflix account, and we don't want him to pay Netflix for himself

So you're upset that you are no longer able to freely breach a conract you agreed to, and have to pay for services you consume?
Not really. It's no different to ARM Thumb2 which also has two lengths. NanoMips and IBM 360 have three lengths (16, 32, 48 bits).

I've looked at wide RISC-V decoder design and the variable length is no problem at all out to at least decoding 32 bytes of code per cycle i.e. eight 32 bit opcodes or sixteen 16 bit opcodes, or somewhere between for a mix (average would usually be about 11-12 or so).

You just need 8 decoders that can decode any instruction, plus 8 decoders that only have to understand C instructions. The 16/32 decoders each need a 2:1 mux in front of them selecting either bytes 0..3 or 2..5 from a six byte window. They always output a real instruction. The C-only decoders will sometimes be told just to output a NOP instead [1]. Each decoder type needs a 1 bit input to tell it which option to take. Those inputs can be chained like carries in a simple adder, or they can be calculated in parallel like in a carry-lookahead adder. For an 8-16 wide decode you need a 2-deep network of LUT6 to do this (in FPGA terms .. also not very deep in SoC terms).

Note that this is a VERY wide machine. Possibly well beyond the point of usefulness given typical basic block lengths and what you can sensibly do in the OoO back end. x86 is currently doing 3-4 wide decode, and Apple M1 is doing 8 wide.

In short: no, it's not a problem.

[1] or not output an instruction at all. Outputting a NOP makes it easier to insert the decoded instructions into an output buffer. Then you need to filter out NOPs later -- which is needed anyway, as programs contain explicit NOPs, OoO machinery turns register MOVE instructions into NOPs by just updating the rename tables, etc.
Then how are we supposed to argue against the false claim that discrimination is the primary driver of demographic underrepresentation if this is the true cause?
Surely stay-at-home covid was a boon to Netflix?
I've never understood why fiddling with IT equipment in your home is considering a "home lab" since you aren't necessarily creating anything (like a laboratory would do), you are just integrating together other people's industrial components to serve non business purposes. The most egregious factor of this hobby is that you are often buying equipment that costs enterprise prices with your own money, whether or not it is used equipment.

Couldn't read the Twitter post with NoScript, and didn't want to turn it off, but I verified the claim. Forgive me for working in cubic inches, but those are the unit measures specified on the USPS web page: https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/prior...

So the volume of the box is 82.6669921875 cubic inches. Assuming we're shipping a block of Tungsten at 0.7 lb/in^3, then our shipment would weigh 57.86689453125 lbs, which is less than 83% of the maximum allowed weight of 70lbs.

I wonder how closely my results agree with the Twitter post...
> very few people fit the stereotype you're putting forth

Pretty sure everything they said can be verified by data. But of course those are averages and generalizations, it's not that every single person in a rural area is a white straight Christian conservative, just like not every single person in a big city is a non-white LGBT atheist progressive. But you will find more people with the former traits in rural areas, and more people with the latter traits in urban ones.

Like if you just looked at the list:

> Rural communities are often more religious, more conservative, lower income, lower educated, and have a lot less access to opportunity. Cities also mean that there's often a critical mass for many interests and minority groups. Are you LGBT? Are you a religious or racial minority? Do you have hobbies that might be more unique? Cities have the critical mass for so many groups of people.

What part of that is wrong? Yes, you can find some rural areas that buck the trend, but overall you're likely to run into these issues.

Just like there are some issues more common in big cities: more expensive, more traffic, lines everywhere, people being ruder/indifferent, etc.
You should try some baked vegetables, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower in the oven with a little avocado or grape seed oil and a little balsamic to finish.

I get it! I should've also toned down my original comment so I'm sorry about that. I think everyone is exhausted after the past few years, but it hopefully can't get much worse... right?!

> Also, the computer sitting on your desk is not "many many times faster" than a current, or even few years old, server.

The server is a big pie. If you're buying a single slice, then yes, it's very very easy for a cheap old desktop to be way faster than a cheap VPS.

> Imagine IT people are the same, instead of assuming they're all idiots who are too stupid to go out and buy desktop computers instead of servers like your genius self.

It's the managers that are idiots. Not everything needs to run in a datacenter. Some things really are kittens and not cattle.

I'm not a network guy, so apologies for the stupid question, but what is the patch panel for in this setup? It doesn't really look like it has a purpose from my view.
The problem with these sorts of "rules" is they create needless changes outside of the PR's primary focus. The PR's purpose is to do X: add a feature, fix a bug, whatever. Now because I've done X, you want me to do Y, a set of totally unrelated changes that ultimately are a distraction.
Agreed. My home lab does include some services and networking to support them, but also some nutso wifi and other radio data hardware, electronics, 3d printing, large format 2d printing, mechanical fabrication, precision metrology...
One of the most overlooked trends of the 21st century is we have too much entertainment. When I was growing up, when a movie came out, you went and saw it because it wasn't going to be on TV for at least 8 months and then you could get a VHS like years afterward if you were lucky. When it came on TV it was a big deal. Everyone got home in time to watch it. Now entertainment is everywhere. It's in massive and overwhelmingly cheap quantities. The point of diminishing marginal returns has been reached and now quality becomes paramount. Netflix just doesn't have the quality, so they are going to slowly bleed off attention and subscribers because people just don't have the time to watch everything. When Netflix came out, sure it was incredible, watch as much as you want for free, but now that's not as enticing.
"Fuck" and "badass" are relatively common in job postings in Utah. I assume it's because people from out of state are worried they'll join a company with a bunch of stiff Mormons so we need a signal to let them know that's not the case. Benefit #1 on the list is beer on Fridays.

Anyway, that's what scares me about this, I like language naturally evolving like it is in the above example, to address a specific communication need. I'm really not a fan of some remarkably privileged people using an insanely powerful company to coerce my language in whatever direction they see fit.

To be fair they're not spinning every single piece of the CPU.

It's true that Git mostly stores snapshots rather than deltas internally. But it's still a version control system, and I don't think it would be improved if the abstraction of snapshots was leaked more aggressively into the interface. You can reconstruct a delta from a snapshot and vice versa, so it still makes sense that you can apply a commit (i.e. patch, delta) in Git.

One thing about Subversion that I miss in Git: when you move a file or a directory, Subversion tracks where it came from. That's not true in Git, which just stores snapshots (mostly) and has to guess whether a file was moved. That means that `svn log FILE` behaves like `git log --follow FILE` by default (except always right rather than "right when the heuristics work"), which is much more useful. One thing I dislike about Git is that its history model tends to crumble when you move files and directories around.

IME, join organizations that tie in with your interests. Gotta get into environments where you interact with others and find someone 'resonant' ... even other introverts! Join an organization which stimulates your interests: e.g. hobbies, games, volunteer (in or outdoors; people or tree-planting), try out something new non-technical (theatre, hiking).

I especially love the "white" part when the less urban SouthWest has the highest black population in the US, yet a city like SF pushed most of its black population out decades ago. Definitely appreciate the lecture on "diversity".
Ha I’m humming each of these to myself, and you’re right!
yup, good looking out, that's new since I last looked (3-ish years ago), and you are right, the sensors are designed for obstacles on a road, so you could probably miss something suspended 5 feet in the air.
Back in 2000, our SF based company had a server in a datacenter in the UK die. The quickest and cheapest way to fix it was to have our IT guy take a replacement server in a suitcase and fly to the UK to replace it.

Otherwise, in places where you can use both, it's worse.

With all due respect, if you read the parent comment and then read the actual bill, it's very hard to reconcile those comments with the actual text of the bill.

I sold my Netflix a few years ago when they started talking about how they are an attention sink vs an entertainment company.

A/B tests and manipulative apps have a hard time accounting for external competition.

The CEO’s reaction confirmed the cluelessness - pulling some bullshit non-plan about ads out of his ass is like ripping out the IV. If I was on the fence about Netflix, having the company accuse me of being a thief for allowing my family to use it and announcing ads will certainly get me off the fence.
