Product management is fun. Thinking about how to position your offering in the market, how to differentiate yourself from your competitors, how to make upgrades marketable is challenging, and it's very satisfying when it works.
If the computer is infinitely fast, you can avoid the complication that parallelism brings with it. No need to spread out over multiple execution units if one is infinitely fast anyway.
Yeah, that would make sense, and I'd have expected it to work that way 20 years ago. But remember the gig economy and the sharing economy, and the rest of the buzzwords have changed that. Now you're supposed to start a business without a revenue stream, build up a customer base, then get acquired and let the new owner worry about how to actually turn a profit.
That's the point of these companies, so that you're and employee from your PoV but a contractor from the actual employer's PoV. The payroll company handles super, payroll tax, etc. and you do a regular employee income tax return. The payroll company bills the actual employer for "consulting services" plus GST. They take the GST and their cut out before paying you. It's supposed to make life easier for everyone at the cost of a little inefficiency.
Home/End/PgUp/PgDn do different things on OSX, having inherited behaviour from classic Mac. Home/End scroll to top/bottom of document without moving cursor, and PgUp/PgDn scroll by a screenfull without moving cursor.
In applications that use standard key bindings, you can move the cursor to beginning/end of the current display line with Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right (equivalent to Home/End on Windows). Use Ctrl-A/Ctrl-E to move to beginning/end of current logical line (inherited from EMACS via NeXT). Command-Up/Command-Down move cursor to beginning/end of document. There are lots of other text editing key bindings inherited from classic Mac and EMACS, they're just not the same as what you're used to on Windows.
The PCIe specification allows for switch devices, so you could conceivably make a system with eight 16x slots. The tradeoff would be some additional latency, and the potential for transactions to be stalled while one card waits for another.
Which shitty distro are you using? On RHEL, systemd sends messages to syslog by default. You have to go out of your way to stop it fro doing so. There are plenty of issues with systemd, but the troubles most of the rants criticising systemd are either imaginary issues or problems with shitty distros with stupid defaults. This makes it easy for them to say, "Haha none of these idiots have even used system," because you're busy drowning out the people trying to get real issues with systemd addressed (like lack of any kind of privilege separation, and parsing unsanitised local socked input in pid 0 running as root, and not working properly if you need to run services as directory users, and a whole bunch of other shit).
Dream on. People will just keep staring at the idiot box, and possibly complain a little louder on Twitbook. The fact is, people really will lap up whatever's thrown at them, and watch the ads too, even if they're just watching so they know when to unmute the sound. People want to consume, and they don't want to put any effort into thinking about it.
Well Genesis 1 gives basic recommendations of "work your arse off and take a break when it's done" (six days of creation work followed by the day of rest), and also, "first get the basics right, then build on it" (starting with light, culminating in humans). That doesn't seem like bad advice to me.
It's interesting that Bell 202 is a pure one-way standard. Outside North America we got CCIT V.23 which was 1200 Baud in one direction and 75 Baud in the other direction, so you usually had to decide in advance which direction you wanted to be fast, depending on which way you were copying files. Generally it would default to fast download (and slow upload) from the point of view of the party initiating the call.
If it isn't driven by a turbine, it isn't a turbofan. Words have meanings, yo. The "turbo-" prefix means "turbine-driven" as in turbojet (turbine-driven jet), turbofan (turbine-driven fan), turboshaft (gas turbine driving shaft output rather than generating trust like in a helicopter or ship), turboprop (turbine-driven propellor), turbogenerator (turbine-driven generator, like in a coal or nuclear powerplant), turbocharger (supercharger driven by a turbine in the exhaust), and so on. "Turbo-" has a specific meaning, it doesn't just mean "fast", "powerful" or "awesome". I hate this degeneration of the language.
I know you're joking, but Apple's early 3D APIs RAVE and QuickDraw 3D were based on quads, and some early 3D hardware like Nvidia NV1 and Sega Model 1 rendered quads natively.
Yeah, the USSR built plenty of them, but only used them on inland seas (Caspian Sea etc.) and ultimately seemed to give up on the idea. This suggests they ultimately didn't achieve their goals and/or weren't suitable for use on open oceans.
Aso, you get all the disadvantages of a boat and a plane at the same time. It has to be light enough to fly, strong enough to withstand a decent swell, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, aerodynamic, hydrodynamic⦠Flying boats were initially popular due to lack of suitable airstrips for larger aircraft. Now that we have airports everywhere, there's no case for it.
Seriously don't use FreeNAS. It's crap, doesn't give you enough control over how stuff is configured, and has weird issues that vanilla FreeBSD with ZFS doesn't have. Use vanilla FreeBSD if you don't need directory service integration. If you need directory service integration, use CentOS 7 and ZFS on Linux.
Actually unfiltered joint smoke has the best THC/tar ratio. Bong smoke is worse than unfiltered joint smoke but better than filtered joint smoke. The trouble is, anything that's good at filtering out tar from the smoke will be even better at filtering out THC.

The manuals for Precision and PowerEdge are absolutely awesome, too. Build quality of PowerEdge is great these days.
Yeah, do BeauHD and msmash not even talk to each other or do basic handover?
2580 opens a surprising number of electronic security doors, including some hospitals and brothels I know of.

What if Mr T hacked the game and added a mohawk class? What if Mr T's pretty handy with computers?

Threads on 4chan last hours, not months.
Haha my wife and I do have our own domain names. Not because of any danger of breaking up, just because personal domain names rock.

If you were really doing low-latency trading you'd have your box in the colo with fibre to the matching engine. You're talking shit.

Turbofans? Fans driven by turbines? And whatever the gas generator for the turbine is won't melt the console in ten seconds flat?

Adobe Creative Suite was a major one a while back. Don't know if that's changed, I only run CC on Windows now.
