These are absolute must haves, but I really wish parallel didn’t collide with the super useful GNU/parallel.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s shipping containers or even privately owned houses, filled with optically controlled or autonomous drones, sitting near high value infrastructure around the world. Mirroring those Ukrainian trucks.
Imagine when something hits us-east-1 as part of the opening shot of a major future conflict..
I love that he’s still doing that - he did the same thing back then: selfies, lots of fun little notes on the packaging, stories about taking the package by bicycle to the nearest post office, and even assurances about his neighborhood’s political leanings (overwhelmingly anti-Bush).
Such a fun and enthusiastic guy. I’ve one of his klein bottles from like 20 years ago, think he still sells them.

Good old eat like a bird, poop like an elephant.
The main issue with evaluating content for what it is is how extremely asymmetric that process has become.
Slop looks reasonable on the surface, and requires orders of magnitude more effort to evaluate than to produce. It’s produced once, but the process has to be repeated for every single reader.
Disregarding content that smells like AI becomes an extremely tempting early filtering mechanism to separate signal from noise - the reader’s time is valuable.
High speed finance is msec and below. Fastest publically known tick to trade is just shy of 14 nanos.
Timekeeping starts to become really hard, often requiring specialized hardware and protocols.
Built in KVM is not that important any longer, with all the new options for adding an external one. gl-inet comet kvm, nanokvm pro, jetkvm, etc.
You can use more than one key you know.
Keep the private key you actively use in the secure enclave. The system you actively use is most at risk.
Keep a secondary offline private key as backup. You can generate and store it in a secure location, and never move it around. Airgapped even if you want. You could even use a yubikey or other hardware for the secondary key giving you two hard to export keys.
Distribute pub keys for both of them.
Best of both worlds?
I remember a few years ago when our niece came to visit. One evening, we started watching a movie on Netflix together.
We only made it halfway before bedtime, but since she was coming back in two weeks, we decided to save the rest for her next visit.
Two weeks later, she returned, bouncing with excitement to finally see how the story ended. We opened Netflix, ready to hit play - and lo and behold… the movie had vanished from the catalog.
Be a cool uncle, be a pirate.
No, it looks nothing like a reinvention of torrent.
Frankly, it’s so good I use emacs just for git even when coding in other editors.
> I don't own an iPhone so I don't know for sure if old messages clog iPhones too but the article hints that this is the case.
> Maybe Apple is happy to sell new phones with more storage to people that run out of space. Maybe iMessage is a tiny storage eater, maybe not. Photos, videos, vocal messages are on the phone forever too?
iOS has a built in tool that help you identify and clean up space hogs. It’s first recommendation is usually to remove large messages attachments. It will show you a list of all attachments (descending size), you select the ones you want to remove and hit delete. It also offers to automatically delete messages after some time. It’s a global option though, not per chat, not usable if you only want some to be ephemeral.
We had a fleet of dedicated hetzner boxes w/10 gbit, it’s just an option you get and pay a little extra for. Generally had good performance as well.
We got day or maybe even week of linux on the desktop at least :)
With a crowdstrike kernel driver, so technically not a microsoft/windows issue.
Generally gets attributed with:
- Increased liquidity. Ensures there's actually something to be traded available globally, and swiftly moves it to places where it's lacking.
- Tighter spreads, the difference between you buying and then selling again is lower. Which often is good for the "actual users" of the market.
- Global prices / less geographical differences in prices. Generally you can trust you get the right price no matter what venue you trade at, as any arbitrage opportunity has likely already been executed on.
- etc..
Not that different for the prodesk/elitedesk small form factors IMHO. There’s a steady supply of cheap used ones available on most online marketplaces (there’s probably millions of them being cycled out of offices every year).
Get a new replacement one, swap over the NVME. Doesn’t have to be the same cpu, linux handles the rest.
I worked for a FX market maker, and we just used "yards".
Removes any confusion for european and american collaboration.
Got old roots dating back to cockney trading slang: "The Old Lady just bought half a yard of cable"
By following the same vague “can be used to grow piracy” logic, there’s a pretty big percentage of github repos that can be slapped with a DMCA and taken down..
In what way is ZFS a good filesystem for lightweight devices like watches, phones, pads and single ssd/nvme laptops?
APFS and ZFS have very different design goals.
That said though, they could obviously have supported both, but from their perspective it makes sense to design for the 90%+.
Whenever bazel prints that it’s compiling one of the rust parts of the codebase at work, then I mutter something about needing more faster better CPUs, and go fetch a cup of coffee..
There’s been generic microcontrollers (usually single shot programmable) available for less than 3 cent per mcu for half a decade already. Check out Padauk and similar MCUs.
Model Y RWD sold in europe is LFP
Those were great. I turned one of mine into a 4G enabled garage opener some years ago, battery backup and everything.
Was a real pain to find an archive of the flashing utility and images.
