Quality if life seems better everywhere when you are a tourist. I think people in the USA work crazy hours and take no vacations. How does Japan compare?

Microsoft banned all Iranian users. And crimea if I recall correctly.

Financial support of open source is a nice thing, but folding open source into the world of US political choas seems so wrong.

I for one will be moving my projects elsewhere. Not sure where yet, probably a bitbucket server.

This is amazing advise through and through. Ticks all the boxes. For many of us we spend so much time at work that we perceive our colleagues as friends. This is a fallacy. I left a job after 15 years and have maybe 1-2 real friends out of that time.

Drinking at company parties is so on point. If you need to drink a lot, make an appearance at the party and go drinking with trusted friends after.

By fun hotel action, you mean sex right?

God codes in C, and uses three space tabs.

Have you read Neil Stephensons fear? Or daemon ( I forget the author)

Cheap technology, thousands of AI programmer monkeys. Makes sense.

It's not likely this. Microwave transport is fast. The real difference in rural sites is a combination of spectrum (ie. 5mz of 850) vs 20mhz of 1700/2100.

850 has better propagation, hence its usage in rural.

The other factor is antenna patterns and site sectors. Many rural sites have an omni antenna, and with no tilt.

In cities you may see 6+ sectors on a site with 12 degree tilts. So your site has more bandwidth(20+ mhz), and way more capacity.

Long story short.. They give you less of the interwebs in rural because it's cheaper

I miss the OG team, pre Sun acquisition. Not sure if you were a part of it, but a solid group to be sure.

Unpopular opinion, and anecdotal data point: I stopped using Solaris and MySQL when oracle took ownership.

Linux and postgres is my new standard.

Have you done a study?

In the end, it'll sort itself out.

Pretty sure Germany runs on wind solar and nuclear.

So no feedback loop

Also Intel isn't the only maker anymore. Anybody can have a chip made by that other company TSMC and whatnot.

We could get all the robots on a island together and have them shoot their exhaust fans simultaneously. This could move the earth a little further away from the sun, thus solving the problem

I agree with you. Many applications grow linerally or not at all. I personally run a couple hundred servers, but it's all VMware, chef and clustered. Frankly, most just sit at a stupid low load average, but I don't fuss it because the spare cycles aren't wasted and I can have hosts and storage fail with impunity.

Many ways of doing it. Virtualization is basically all direct hardware access for the stuff that counts.

But I digress. I am guilty of over building things. In part for fun. In part hubris. In part I like sleeping at night

Wait.. So I'll have to install Ruby before I can install Brew? Ok. Ruined 2 minutes of my day.

Easy. Augmented reality sandbox.

Sounds like you are joking. Not all do. And a lot of seniors are getting laid a lot.

We are talking about Huawei and not Cisco right? They seem to have a constant stream of the problems and nobody seems to give a shit.

True.. But engineers often have more knowledge than judgement. Engineers are often too cautious to run businesses successfully. This isn't a blanket statement, but engineering school does not make an entrepreneur or even create much business savvy.

Engineers are the most cautious lot I've ever worked with. Among the most intelligent, but I can't imagine them making ballsy market moves.

Mofirouter ships with it from factory..

How a single rasp pi made my browsing experience terrible and slowed page loads.

I turned off my pi hole.

Personal anecdote only

It's a cancer. It now has its own subsystem in windows.

Trains are a messy, loud and dangerous way of moving stuff. But yes, it's fuel efficient. But so fucking dangerous and primitive in so many ways.

Rail needs a lot of technology, and then it will be amazing. I don't think it's thsy far off.

Shake hands. Kill tribe with common cold.

Yes, this means it's not worthwhile in most cases. Kitchen garbage, for instance is not worth while.

Reuse and reduce still matter

I think this speaks more to people running lts versions of servers that have php5 in repos.

26 was my year too.. I remember the day vividly where I became a little older. Next hit was at 34.
