It could have been done less expensively even back then, except that the space shuttle needed a "mission" and using it a a freighter was a good political decision.
Then two years in with the new one, you will run a RAM test and discover that all the random crashes/garbage you see with your XMP profile memory was caused by it being just a tiny bit out of spec.
ECC ram tends to be the most conservative stuff out there. Just because you don't see any errors with your ECC setup doesn't mean your non ECC setup doesn't have any errors.
I've seen enough machines with one or two soft ECC errors per year to be wary of machines without.
But your python app wouldn't be doing millions of transactions a second on a system about as powerful as a mid range server... Nor would it run for the next 40 years given python's tendency to break the language every so often.
No one said the republicans were bad politicians. What they are, is shitty on policy and ideas. Which is what you get when you elect people who's critical thinking skills are fundamentally broken. You want a litmus test? How about blind unwavering faith in a fairy tale without any evidence. Once you have boxed that up, you can convince them and their voters of anything. A presidential candidate is running a child prostitution ring out of a pizza chain? Yup, that isn't any stretch of the imagination when you believe in an all powerful, vengeful being that spends all its time making sure you aren't saying bad words, or having premarital sex, eating pork, or the rest of the laundry list. Plus, its so needy that it wants its creations spending their time "worshiping" it.
That doesn't work either, unless Bob is familiar with all the details of what need to be done, in which case your just as likely for it to be a "how long bob thinks it will take him" kind of answer.
I have literally seen estimates of "two days" to write a firmware device driver for a network card from a manager that regularly wrote code. In the end the guy that ended up doing it spent close to a year before it reached the level of "just works"
How hard is it for google to hire a few dozen people to whitelist and manually tag videos for political/religious/profanity/etc before allowing sensitive corp advertising?
Yah, sure I get it, google has a trillion videos and picking trending ones, or whatever for human validation before they pump sensitive advertising money at is hard... So instead they spend hundreds of millions to create algorithms/etc to do it for them, and said algorithms frequently fail because context is a lot harder than detecting a short list of profane words.
I used to work at a company that resold a (robotic) solution that cost seven figures. One day it dawned on me, that at the prices being paid, someone could literally hire a 4 shift rotation of humans in a "cheap labor" country train them for 5 minutes to follow the instructions on a screen and the labor/etc was 1/10th our annual support plan. So, why did anyone every buy it? I guess its because we had far less expensive/capable products too. Those products weren't expensive enough and far easier to deal with than similarly capable humans, its only because the price went up exponentially with capability. Sure at some point a customer could have kicked out our robotic solution but by then they were sold on the concept and even considered that there was a crossover point where our markup made the product less desirable. They simply called up the salesman asked for the next larger configuration, gulped at the price and paid up (possibly after calling one of our competitors).
Doesn't really make me want to buy it. Simply sharpening up the graphics doesn't really do it for me. You have to fill all those extra pixels with more detail.
Do a full rewrite against the newer engine with the exact same behavior and it might be more interesting.
As it is, I have a couple old laptops with 10" screens that I play these old games on. At those sizes the games tend to look pretty good, its only when I fire them up an a 27"+ monitor that they really look terrible.
I''ve got a couple original starcraft disks. I'm pretty sure I didn't pay more than $10 for them (I was pretty cheap back then, I pirated most stuff, only picking up real copies as "payback" when I found them on discount racks). One of them is even in a blizzard game of the year collection I purchased at warlmart for $19 (sticker is still on it) that comes with warcraft 2, startcraft and diablo (the original). Looks like the original msrp was $50 but it was discounted by the time I purchased it (probably in the 2000s).
Yah, I have the same problem. The approved win10 wifi driver is buggy, It frequently goes into a state that can only be recovered by disabling the device via device manager, or rebooting. None of the windows 10 self repair/diagnosis options can recover it, instead frequently leaving me with a message to the affect that the problem is likely my wifi AP. Rolling back the driver to a win8 era option fixes it for the month or so it takes M$ to decide to "upgrade" it.
The general consensus between a few sysadmin friends of mine is that win10 has a core wifi bug, because they claim it periodically has problem connecting across a wide range of devices/wifi adapters with similar sounding problems (aka the machine needs to be rebooted).
Well emacs has regularly consumed 100% of my CPU syntax highlighting. Which I always excused it of (its lisp what are you going to do (shrug)), but looking at those editor benchmarks I had no idea that vim and a bunch of other editors are actually worse.
Wow, if your editor consumes more ram and is slower than emacs then you are _REALLY_ doing something wrong.
100% Agreement. Their failures to penetrate the mobile market could be understood for a few years as their technology was behind (SOC integration, power consumption, lack of modem/etc). But, over the last couple of years they have come out with some pretty good products. For most measurements, their stuff is actually better than pretty much everything but apple products.
Yet, what does Intel management do late last year? Cancel the entire business! Which is so short sighted its not even funny. I have no doubt that long term they are done for because of it. ARM's partners will continue to make subpar servers, until they don't, and the fat margins will evaporate and its game over for Intel..
I've gotten bluray's that looked like someone tried to sand them down. Its darn near impossible to scratch bluray (and some DVDs like the imation forcefield ones, but I've never seen a commercial DVD with a coating) yet netflix still ships them out...
More on topic, the whole point for making "backups" is to survive loss of the original media. Why isn't it legal to replace a damaged disk with a copy?
Obvious solution, is to play climate science videos when the http referer matches breitbart... Of course such a thing should only kick in after the first 100 views...
Which is what I've been saying. What I really want to know is if this is true, because in theory her email server _SHOULD_ have a complete record. So a 3rd party machine should be able to verify if any emails were "deleted" from the server...
(although exchange recalls and all that might complicate things, but one assumes that her staffers had their own email accounts not on her server?).
When I'm on a long road trip, I don't usually want to stop for more than the time it takes to fill my tank. Hanging around some highway intersection/rest area isn't really high on my list of fun. I usually want to get to my destination as soon as possible.
Frequently that means, starting the pump, running inside for a bio break, and to pick up more caffeine or some terrible food to go. Frequently, I can get in/out in ~5 minutes.
Of course I'm apparently strange and drive 12+ hour legs on my road trips (welcome to the midwest US), so spending an hour filling up, can easy move a 12 hour trip into the 15 hour range..I can easily see this moving a two day trip into three.
Housing, schooling, medical. It may not have gone up each year but averaged over any length of time their numbers are significant. Which makes one question the fundamental weighting of the inflation indexes.
My own personal inflation indexes are probably 3x what the published one is. Particularly if one breaks out the "wants" vs "needs". In the US its basically impossible to be a nomad or farm public/common land. So, I need a house, I need gas to drive to work, and I need to eat something that isn't McDonalds. If it weren't for the fact that I'm now one of the "privileged computer engineers" I would be living paycheck to paycheck unable to afford a new dishwasher when the old one broke. The particularly damming thing, is that because of this basic cost of labor/etc many things in the US have become so expensive that hiring someone to fix a car/reroof a house/etc can easily cost days of my inflated pay rates. (A new root installed by 4 guys on my house in two days can cost more than 2 months of net salary). Retail rents in front the wamart in the not so great part of town can easily exceed $15 a square foot.
There are people getting insanely rich from all this, its just none of us actually working for a living.
The AS/400 has a complete menu based system administration mode. Its actually quite easy to figure many things out without really having to know any programming/scripting languages. Similarly with AIX (smitty) and HP-UX (sam/smh). Both of which are conceptually comparable to what a window's control panel/administrator menu is capable of. Particularly now that MS has stopped putting any effort into assuring that the GUI can actually configure everything in the machine.
I'm not sure about IRIX, but sco, solaris and linux lag behind in this category. In the case of linux its heavily dependent on which distro you use, with suse's yast probably being the most complete, and approaching the level of what was available in hpux/aix, but still only covering a limited subset of the total configuration options (although it manages to nail all the most important options, allowing you to configure a basic SMB/apache/whatever server without having to drop to the command line).
However, a relatively high number developed side effects, including acne and mood disorder
Which sounds about the same as the female birth control pill. Of course the set of side effects seem to vary depending on _which_ pill, but in the case of my wife the "mood disorders" part seems to apply to all of them...
Thats my take too, the bigger question is why the 5/2.5 isn't just a part of the 10G spec with a blurb that says if the cabling/link isn't working at 10G to downgrade to 5G. AKA 10G should have been a mandatory part of the specification.
Worse the large datacenters are dumping 10G for 25/100G right now.

It seems in Austin the only place you can get AT&T fiber is where its also possible to get google fiber.
Sure would be nice if AT&T had service maps, but then there would probably be even more pitchforks pointed in their direction.

Basically, grammar rules, along with a number of other taught behaviors are used to signal class in most English speaking countries.

You probably just made it consume 100% of the CPU as it tries to flash the cursor at an infinite rate...

Same basic thing with the touchpad/veer I have. The battery life probably doubled over the 3-4 months as online functionality was shutdown.

I'm not saying I go that far on a single tank. I can only go about 380 miles on a tank.
So, my calculation for the tesla is based on the idea that instead of stopping ~2 times for hour.
Hence a trip that I can do in a single day becomes multiple days.
