You absolutely must go!

Not only do they date back hundreds of years, they are located all over the planet. First modern planetarium was built in Germany in the early 1920s.

No, it’s referring to the Streisand Effect.

The amount of people that don’t know there’s no ‘h’ in Nicolas Cage is too god damn high.

There are some lovely tools that allow kernel updates sans reboot.

Oh really, I think you and my Debian server with >10 years of uptime should have a conversation.

TL;DR:

“Stop advocating for things you care about, it’ll never happen. Fuck your passions and your want to share them with people.”

That’s how you sound.

Just download more.

The point where I was using my master’s in computer engineering to design physical chips? You know, using my fundamental understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the physics that come along with it.

Why wait? Carpe Linux.

While I love the thought, I’m not going to hold my breath on replacing my 880 TB of spinning platters with SSDs.

Fuck yeah! Go science!

Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

Itanium

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

And the Xeon Phi (Knight’s Ferry/Landing) was in the GPU space, but only in GPGPU. The idea was that the Xeon Phi, with an x86-compatible core, could, with less modification, run software that was originally targeted to a standard x86 CPU. Something like 68-70 x86-64 cores.

I had a couple of them when I was taking parallel programming back in the day. Nifty little devices, but largely outshined by distributed multiprocessing for x86-64 and paled in comparison to the power of CUDA. That might be my own bias talking though.

silicone

It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

Silicon is for computer chips, silicone is for boobies.

Great, it’s better if you link them where the claims were made though.

I hadn’t heard of earth.org so I looked them up: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/earth-org-bias/

Not too bad. Though I’m well versed in battery tech and industry, it’s an incredibly dirty industry, coming with cited, fair sources is paramount.

No, you claimed:

Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car

Furthermore, when asked about a source for these claims, you come out swinging with the ever popular “no, you” defense.

Again, link your sources (MIT study) please.

Nice, I’ve got a similar situation for my bedroom stereo. Thrifted vintage Fisher(I think) speakers (3-way, 15” woofers), Sony surrounds, rears, center, and subwoofer with an Onkyo receiver. Maybe spent $120 total on it all when I lived in the States.

All of my battle station audio equipment has now paid for itself though. Well, work gave me the 1032b pair since they upgraded their standard reference speaker to the GENELEC Ones. They’re only two-way though and for my side hustle in music production, I really needed those three-way 8351Bs.

Not too bad. I’ve got a pair of GENELEC 1032bs, a pair of 8351Bs, a matching W371A subwoofer, and a pair of Eve Audio SC701s.

Somewhere around 3000 watts of combined bass/mid/treble amplification.

I think I’m cheating though because I work for the world’s greatest electronic musical instrument company.
