Once, when moving an office we were taking the network down and found this cable, lit on the switch, but all machines accounted for.

Of course we followed it... and it led to an SGI personal Iris!

It was hosting a small FTP drop used by a former employee and a few select customers who needed it for some reason. I don't know.

Logged in using the 'lp' account, which was a standard IRIX security hole strangely tolerated by many due to it being a great way to get guest access to the machine to tinker around.

In our case, we just wanted to run 'top', 'ps -something', and of course 'uptime', which was something north of 5 years, lol.

Was in the very back of one of those hole in the wall network wiring points. It being dark and noisy was just perfect cover for a dirty machine and monitor, keyboard and mouse. The monitor was scary, but working. Keyboard and mouse mostly the same.
That may indeed be correct at least in some circumstances; maybe it at least works with some capability of the offical supply. In my experience I have had to use usb_max_current_enable=1 and PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000 to get it to shut up and work.

Here's the thing though; the simple fact that we have to even have this discussion because the Rpi5 continues to be super damn weird is enough evidence for me that the platform has jumped the shark. I don't know whether to blame Broadcom or the Pi Foundation, but the Pi 5 suuuuuucks. Man, I wanted to love it though; it's the only board I have even been been able to buy from them in the last FOUR YEARS
Wouldn't the authors or publishers have the original copies somewhere?
Advertisers have wanted moving ads since the dawn of the internet, and I'd be shocked if they weren't always willing to pay more to get them. But the big selling point of Google, and one of the drivers that got them to where they are today, is they looked at that money and said "no, it isn't worth it, this will compromise the user experience". Then they went with text ads on Google search.

Over the years I assume they've changed that decision along with the general cultural rot that comes to large companies, but there is a clear precedent. Publishers didn't have to take money to make their own product worse. They could have made their product good and tried to make money that way.

Although realistically these media companies are probably going to go out of business with the current model whatever they try. The internet has made a mockery of their credibility; the future seems to be podcasters with dedicated audiences going it alone or blogs - the costs are lower and the quality is generally higher.
Why is this not an interview? I had very similar problems even on an interview to get in a math-oriented high school.
Title should be: 36 year old man gets his life ruined for making $84 in total profit from proceeds of "crime". If he's peddling "hacked consumer products" he's already on his last leg as a 36 year old. Even if he manages to get a job by some miracle he's going to get ijime'd hard by his co-workers who will view him as a convict.

this is up there with the case where they arrested a student for some javascript code she wrote that caused never ending alert dialog popups at the library?

Neo-confucianism is just glorified gerontocracy.

> The 36-year-old allegedly took custom orders for rare Pokémon, and sold the resulting tampered data between December 2022 to March 2023, for up to 13,000 yen ($84) a time on a website that served as a marketplace for video game assets and items. He also offered deals in which six Pokémon would be created for the equivalent of roughly $30 in yen.

Yet bunch of ojiisans steal $1.7 billion as executives of a flagship Japanese company and nobody goes to jail. Some gaijin CEO 20x your struggling car company and you send HIM to jail for taking a bit of bonus as compensation!

Unreal.
When my hoarder FIL died, we had to have a cleanup company deal with his apartment - we asked them to set aside anything of value and got back one bankers box of old utility bills, canceled checks, a laptop. In reality, since those things held the clues to tracking down the bits of his estate, they probably were worth more than any revered artifact.
Which means you need office space for 100% of the people, but that's only used 40% of the time.

I was a long time net dev (going back to 2001) who has since moved onto a lot of other things, including nodejs. However, I did take a long break from nodejs for about 2 years, and in my new position it is used heavily.

I used to be pretty excited about node. It’s stupidly cheap to get started and deploy anywhere, using one language for front and backend can be a boon for teams that mix junior talent or folks that just want to reduce complexity and maximize reuse, has a low barrier to entry and wide open community, and was surprisingly scrappy in concurrency, pound for pound.

Coming back to node, I’m fucking miserable, to be honest. The headless community has actually become a liability, where the lack of built-in solutions for essential tasks–particularly the toolchain– has led to something worse than design-by-committee, more akin to design-by-vibes or meme, because the core group is painfully behind the needs of the community and tends to fracture (see bun, demo, etc) rather than evolve. We can’t even decide on a god damned package manager, and all of them are a dumpster fire. Meanwhile your project’s dependency tree is a katamari ball of potential supply chain vectors or abandonware, and all you’ve done is fucking boilerplate a project! Which by the way, will break sometime in the near future and require you to painfully hand roll it back up or go through the expensive and arduous task of replacing.

So, about dotnet. I think the toolchain is good. The core libraries get you most of the way there. You can run it inexpensively almost anywhere these days. C# isn’t perfect but it’s a damned good OOP language. You can squeeze a lot of performance out of it, but even the default, basic approaches will get you far. I worry about the ecosystem as I’m not sure it’s as competitive or desirable as the competition, and I don’t feel great about Microsoft either. But my team expressed interest in dumping node for it and I would take it in a heartbeat.
What a waste now. It'd make one of the best wine cellars in the world, and with a door like that no one could steal the booty.
They did invent their own functions to test if the results were due to these functions being on the training date. See the section on data contamination in the paper.

Agree it both kind of makes sense (regression is the best way to predict the next token in this context) and kind of ironic (LLMs can do high school regression but can’t do elementary school long digit arithmetic).

>The reason why people don't cherish these types of things is they are rational. Technology is about tomorrow. It's not about yesterday

You can't built tomorrow if you don't understand and appreciate yesterday.

Without knowing the past you can and will be taken for a ride by any con man selling you old bullshit as fancy new stuff of tomorrow.

Without knowing the past they can and will sell you crappy stupid stuff which you'll gulp down just because its new and shiny, because you don't know that better stuff already existed.

If someone is not passionate about the history and development of their field, I seriously doubt they're a good fit for it.
The competition is mostly from the "make money by" part. That's money from what used to be a sole company's asset now going to 2 places rather than 1. E.g. before I could leverage the rarity aspect of the gameplay & IP however I desired (including keeping it as part of making a time investment into the product if I thought that was more valuable in the long run) but now you're selling an alternative version of the experience to people and I have to compete with getting any pokemon and stats instantly from someone else for $x when it comes to extracting the value from the IP asset with the protected saves.

I'm not saying this is a great stance, just showing how it is seen as competition in the second scenario alone.
I think the point is that it's already been digitized. All of it. The stuff in your attic isn't a valuable historic artifact; it's deep in the trough of no value.
For many people there is a cost associated to storing items, be it old furniture or paperwork.
I turn Siri off because it's just not useful for me, so I don't see the Siri Suggestions. But I hate how it badgers me about setting Siri up in the Settings app every update. I have to turn it on and then off to get rid of the banner.
Appreciate the support. Yea the having enough people for matchmaking is for sure a challenge.
It's kinda beautiful that my Volkswagen electric SUV with the baby seat in the back can out-accelerate most any farty angry-headlights car. It'll never look as good as my old Studebaker, but by god it'll outrun all but the hottest of rods that car to rev their engine at a stoplight.

It was a different era. I'm sure the town's people were discreet. Nonetheless word would have percolated. Hundreds of men would have come from out of town to build the thing and then returned. Did they keep stum? If they didn't who would have they told? There's no internet forums. You could tell a newspaper but they would either be patriotic or they would try to enquire further and get nowhere.

What matters is did the soviet's know? There is still much to be declassified.

And of course it's all a bit silly. In the event of an attack would any of this actually pan out and function as it should?

In my life, it's that the only people with room to have large wooden furniture were the Boomers and their parents who could afford to live in 2.5k+sq foot houses. My whole apartment couldn't hold the furniture from my parents living room.
I'm sorry, but your suggestion doesn't make any sense to me. Saying "I have zero coconuts" would mean that you have a coconut? Would you have to say you had "negative 1" coconuts if you didn't have any? At a sandwich shop you would have to order a "no feet long" sub? And this is your plan to prevent confusion?

All that would really do swap the meaning of a bunch of words around so that "zero" means "one", "one" means "two", etc. Then we'd have to call it a "Two three four" right triangle but remember to make it with "three" (four), "four" (five), and "five" (six) stones and we're right back where we started.

The problem here is confusion about what quantity is actually being counted: the "fence posts" or the "fence lengths"? That's always going to depend on context - the speaker and listener have to be on the same page. There's no way to fix that by changing the number we count from.

Do commenters like this ever stop to consider people who cannot afford to pay higher prices, before encouraging creators to arbitrarily raise prices higher than the creators have already calculated? Do these commenters ever stop to analyze their world view that leads them to believe the litmus test for quality products is whether the product is priced like an Apple product?
A lot of people who have never sold a digital product say stuff like this, but there's definitely a very obvious and gigantic market for low prices.

As somebody who has released several games and apps where some did well and others were crickets it seems like a combination of randomness/timing, visibility (related to the previous), and simply - is it good or not? If your game is amazing people will jump through hoops to try to play it. You can sell a great game for $40 or $60, and a very great game for $60 then $15/month to keep playing.

But you can't raise the price on a low-quality product and expect a great sales response. A lot of investor types say this out of hopes, or because they want that racehorse to run faster, but IME it's: Is it good? Charge market. Otherwise, free or freemium, you might even have to give away the code to get developer interest to help.
There's gotta be a lot of survivorship bias here: many people whose businesses failed and had to go back to wage labor, or who simply lack the motivation to even try to pursue their own occupational freedom would be expected to feel more disgruntled.

Good memories
I know of one huge international pharma company with a site in South SF that is reducing conference attendance with the stated purpose of reducing emissions, while simultaneously requiring all employees to be on-site 3 days a week regardless of job function (yes, lab workers have to be in the lab for their work, but plenty of positions spend most of their time on video calls with other sites in Sweden, Netherlands, England, China, India...)
Work in highly regulated industries (banking, aerospace, medical) will probably be the least affected.
There's difference between archive and a library. Also, why didn't they process in the first place then? And for it being "hard to pass over" - it wasn't hard for them to have him drive 70 miles and pack all on his budget??
If that were the case, I expect it would show differently. There was a whole thing in Seattle where someone got into accident that left their passenger dead, they escaped the hospital and headed back to their home country, while their employer kept them on the roster under "administrative leave."

> They seem to be obsessed with desktops, and ultra high performance homelab NASes.

I don't know how you reach that conclusion; the network connectivity of pi's suck (especially pi5) and out of the box they do not support any traditional storage except for a couple of external usb drives.

The use as a low cost desktop is a primary mission statement of theirs, so I don't really read that part as a criticism though. I think it's probably the only thing it really does well.

Agree on your other points though. Other vendors have made lots of headway in the SBC markets in the years that Pi hasn't been able to ship product. I'm sorry in a way that they have not achieved their lofty goals, but in another way I'm not sorry because they really have been fucking it up bad for the last few years.

Funny, last time I was in a place where night time loud cars were a problem, it was the stupidly loud music that was more an issue.

Sadly, I doubt that switching to EVs will fix that.
> Furthermore, some of the solutions to deal with cheaters are to play on 3rd party services (i.e. FACEIT) that require you to install an "anti-cheat" that gives kernel level access and is owned by some questionable folks (I won't get into the details of that you can do your own research).

I worked on one of these services, http://fastcup.net, and AFAIK that's all the service did — anti-cheat, although I must admit I didn't work on it myself. What questionable stuff have you heard about these services?

I was surprised at how low some things were at my parents' estate sale, though they're still alive and kept some things downsizing to assisted living. I also did keep some things of value (or that I could see immediate use for, like replacing my dishes with my mom's massive amount of Corelle including discontinued items).

Also if you know people starting out suggest that they visit an estate sale or two for dishes, pans, silverware, etc.

And anyone who wants fine china should just go buy people's complete sets on the last day for $15 or less.
Since I know a few things about this:

1. You probably want to run Cat 6.

It’s only a little more expensive than Cat 5e (ours is $180/1000ft for Cat 6 vs $140/1000ft for Cat 5e). The connectors are basically the same price. But Cat 6 will support 10gbps at lengths that cover basically all single family residential. The problem with Cat 6A is that it’s more expensive and doesn’t get you more bandwidth, just the same 10gbps, but to longer distances (up to 100m). Fiber is relatively inexpensive for the cable, but terminations are very expensive and you need adapters for most devices.

2. Don’t buy copper clad aluminum (CCA)

Amazon is filled with Ethernet cables that have copper clad aluminum conductors. The reason is that aluminum is cheaper. Don’t buy it. Aluminum is an inferior conductor, but more importantly, it’s a brittle material that will corrode. This is the number one complaint on CCA cabling. That the cable stops working at some point after being installed.

3. Buy cable that is UL Listed/Certified and CM or CMR rated.

The CM/CMR ratings are for fire safety and are required to be up to code. Either rating will work, but the key is that the cable has that printed on the jacket. The other key is that the cable is UL Listed/Certified (either wording is fine). UL should also be printed in the jacket. There are lots of Ethernet cables for sale on Amazon that claim to be CM or CMR rated, but they aren’t listed. Which means they’re fraudulently claiming the CM/CMR fire rating because a cable can’t carry a fire rating without being listed.

And then you specifically want a UL listing because they’re very active at enforcing quality standards at the factories in Asia, whereas ETL, who is the other major testing lab, is not. There’s a reason that all the cheapest offerings are ETL Listed and all the most expensive ones are UL Listed: basically the factories are sending in one sample for testing and then producing something different. UL’s enforcement prevents this.

You might not care about being strictly up to code, but UL Listed and CM/CMR are marks of quality, which you probably do care about.
I relate with this sentiment.

I can’t wait for the first cheap EV sports car, like an MX-5, gt86, or similar size. It would be cool if you could design one with an h pattern, for the driving fun, but I’m sure it’s not necessary. It better be cheap and no frills, too, as I don’t need any tech other than a good EV drivetrain and 150 miles of charge.
1. Frame.work looks to be all about modularizing laptop hardware, but it doesn't have particular support for any linux distros, and a quick glance at the forums (https://community.frame.work/c/framework-laptop/linux/91) looks like people are having the same compatibility issues.

2. Dell supports an Ubuntu that was released in March 2023.

Years ago, I tried to retrieve a webpage link[1] that had an important article to encryption and the website had a redesign and all of their articles were removed.

I reached out to them later and asked if they had a copy of the article, or knew where I could get one, but they reported that they no longer have any of that. The same for a commercial that my father was in for a local mall, the mall was purchased by another company and lost ties with the media company that shot the commercial-- this media company is no longer around and thus no more archives.

I was eyeing the Poqet PC in the late 90s when remaining stock was being sold off at a good price. I wanted to use it as a mobile dial-up terminal and to run Nethack (not sure if it actually had enough RAM and storage for that). Never got around picking one up in the end. Later on my pocket terminal dreams came true thanks to the Nokia 9300, Treo 650 and eventually Android devices using various ssh clients on each.
