Sun started to turn into DEC when the manufacturing people started getting hired from DEC into Sun.

The quarter that burped also had the problem that IT was late transitioning the ERP system from the HP3000 setup while a new product mix was brought out: the final set of the Sun 3 line (including the 3/85)powered by the MOV 68030 and the SPARCststion 1.

Marketing had guessed wrong at the mix (SS1 was ordered in far larger volumes than had been built, while 3/85s and their cousins languished on the shelves), but the ERP system wasn’t ready, so Sun management was flying blind.

Now tell ‘em the “dress code” story

Sun once tried to merge with Apple

That would have been nice.

"You have zero privacy anyway, get over it.” — Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun, Jan 1999

Millions of accounts on “private” at $8/mo each

He didn’t go to prison.

He was sentenced on March 19, 2019 to 30 months in prison, suspended for four years, meaning he will serve no time unless he commits additional offenses before March 19, 2023.

AVX 2 and AVX 512 are very good for VPN transforms.

10gbps on a single core.

Plenty of room

l've been wearing my dead brother’s Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 5700 (stainless) for the past decade for similar reasons to those in the article. It’s rugged, solar powered, and requires no thought.

It also has a small scorch mark from an arc welding incident he had that I treasure.

The false lumen is the path of flow that isn’t the true lumen. The true lumen existed prior to the dissection.

Blood tends to clot at lower velocity.

I had an ascending aortic dissection in 2009, so this his different, I guess.

It’s also a lie that it wasn’t available for review. It was in review for about 10 months before it started to land in a release.

Sad day.

I used ppcboot at musenki 20 years ago (2001-2002) on a set of MPC 824x boards.

Wolfgang was always helpful.

During: true.

But most Texas utility customers now pay a surcharge every month to pay off the accumulated debt of that crisis.

People in sunny climates put solar water heaters (heat exchangers) in to heat the pool.

> how does the government get me to stop heating it

Fines. If that doesn’t work, maybe they restrict gas to your home like California is starting to restrict water for places that continue to water the lawn.

Any given geopolitical power can be viewed as a supervillain.

I have an employee in chatt who reported the same pricing on slack.

My bet is that the stack in VPP is even faster.

Unix was originally created on a PDP-7, and later ported to an 11/20.

Neither is substantially larger than a rack-mount PC.

The mosquito has no such qualm.

Truck belonged to his grandmother.

Possible he used her credit card(s) to purchase the firearms.

djb didn’t invent elliptic curve cryptography. Elliptic curve cryptography was introduced in 1985 by Victor Miller and Neal Koblitz who both independently developed the idea of using elliptic curves as the basis of a group for the discrete logarithm problem.

> Russia is struggling at the moment not because defenders are inherently advantaged but because they're relying on conscripts and relatively untrained soldiers.

Yes; this, and all of NATO is assisting Ukraine with G-2 (intelligence) and G-4 (logistics).

> pfSense doubles the price over the exact same box you can get from AliExpress or ebay.

They do? Show me.

I think you mean “Plan 9”; in case anyone wants to search for it.

Same, 1988-1992, then Tadpole until 1996

Technically the SPARCbook/SPARCbook 3 logos aren’t Sun Workstation boot logos.

Calling Gracemont (the E cores) “Atom technology” is a bit weak. They support out of order execution and AVX2.

Gracemont is faster, clock-for-clock than Broadwell and nearly as fast as Skylake running ChaChaPoly-1305, as used in WireGuard, largely due to avx2.

Intel’s benchmarking shows 80% performance peak vs peak of 4C of Gracemont vs 2C4T of Skylake.
