There's a new gold rush in crypto currency that is causing video card prices to go up as everyone and their mother tries to mine the latest and greatest from the ether.
Other than a pandemic, the last one we had was a century ago, old age is expected to do the rest. Humanity doubled twice in the 20th century, but it won't even double once in the 21st century. Population should peak at 10B by 2050 and decline to 6B by 2100.
I bet the temperature would drop five degrees if everyone would switch to lower TDP hardware and away from HDDs to SDDs.
Not necessarily. The case for my file server can hold 14 HDDs. If 1TB SSDs were available for $50 each, I could put 28 into my case with dual SSD adapters.
But I wonder, why are you trying to cram so much into a such a small space?
The ECS KAM1-I AM1 mini-ITX motherboard has two serial ports and headers for two more serial ports, which made it perfect as a Red Hat Linux terminal server for my Cisco certification rack. I got the motherboard and AMD AM1 processor for $25 each last year. The mATX case that I had was overkill and I wanted something smaller. The Cougar case for $50 was perfect. I'll probably replace the PSU with a picoPSU to free up space inside.
IIRC, Phoenix offered tax incentives for Silicon Valley companies to relocate there in the 1990's. A lot of people from my church worked at Intel and relocated to Phoenix at that time. The biggest draw then was being able to buy an affordable house far, far away from Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley is the high 90's this week. Power went out yesterday for a few hours, making the afternoon heat unbearable without the fans. Still trying to figure out where to put another fan in the Cougar QBX Mini-ITX case, as the SSD and HDD run ten degrees higher than my fileserver with six HDDs and seven fans. This case is supposed to have enough room for a regular PSU, a dual-slot GPU and a water cooler radiator. I don't have either and there isn't enough room for my fat fingers.
Google. Every webpage that I control has a Google ad. Whenever someone clicks on my link and a Google ad successfully loads into a web browser, an "impression" is created. Many impressions add up to a penny. Many pennies add up to some serious money. If someone clicks on an ad, coffee money!
You are obviously trying to compensate for your horrific nothingness.
That compensation gets direct deposited into my business checking account every month.
No "editorial process" required if you write properly from the start [...]
If you think my comments on Slashdot is bad, you should see my handwritten or typewritten rough drafts.
And since you're a writer, who's very concerned with his "personal brand," you should REALLY care if you're giving the impression that you're an illiterate mung bean.
An asshat thought it was cute to re-post my 2016 picture on an image website last night. A DMCA takedown notice took it down this morning.
How about the fabric functionality that's native to pelican?
I didn't consider fabric because it required Python 2.7. I've since learned that there is a Python 3 version, which isn't linked from the fabric web page, has two or three GitHub branches and screams not ready for a production environment.
You're using ant (poorly, I'm sure) to replicate functionality that's native to the pelican project itself.
I've previously used Ant for PHP projects. It took me 45 minutes to create a single build.xml file and build.properties files for a dozen static websites. As for the fabric file that Pelican installs, it has three times as many lines as the Ant build.xml file that I've created and lacked the zip/rsync functionality that I needed.
I'm on python-dev, I'd be interested to see what you've actually posted.
I post as Chris R. to avoid confusion with Chris A.
No other supermarket on the planet refuses to sell basics like that.
If a supermarket shares a strip mall with a drugstore, they're more likely to have reduced selection of the basics and use the available shelf space to sell other stuff to make up the difference in profit margins. Or a drug store may not carry pet food if located next door to a pet store. I've seen countless variations of merchandising like this.
I spent the time to correct your grammar - you're a published author who hopes to build a devoted readership.
I explained this before but you're probably ignore it anyway. I don't have an editorial process for comments on Slashdots. I will never have an editorial process for comments on Slashdot. There isn't enough half-cents to make it worth my while.
Time to reinvent every piece of python2 code that hasn't yet been ported to python3: days, weeks, months.
Which piece of Python 2 code am I reinventing?
I've never seen your name there that I can recall, and a quick look at the archives doesn't seem to show any activity from anyone with your name, either.
And you're welcome for giving you a grammar lesson.
If you're going to be grammar nazi on Slashdot, you need to put more bite into your comments. This schoolmarm attitude doesn't cut it. You would be more effective if the person you're attacking actually cares about your opinion. You're wasting your time on me.
Your family understands that it requires no special ability or intelligence to attend, right, just the ability to pay the fees?
My parents refused to support my decision to go to college. I spent my first year collecting bottles and cans after classes to pay for classes and books. I later got a job at the bookstore warehouse and worked my way though college. My parents didn't accept my decision to go to college until after I graduated.
It's like touting being the first person in your family to go to Wal-Mart.
I may come from a family of rednecks but we're not white trailer trash.
Yeah, because the principal of an elementary school 40 years ago would totally have said [...]
That I was mentally retarded, needed to go to special ed classes and may never live a normal adult life. Except I wasn't mentally retarded, skipped high school to go into community college, and I'm living a normal adult life.

You should be studied, understood, and either helped or explained to the rest of the world.
That's what I'm doing with Slashdot . I didn't think Slashdot had any female readers. You learn something new every day.

As a writer, I would think the emphasis would be on the writing skills.
Yes, for the markets I care about. Slashdot isn't one of them. That you think Slashdot is still relevant to the world at large is cute.
Who would pay you for that? Why? How?
Google. Every webpage that I control has a Google ad. Whenever someone clicks on my link and a Google ad successfully loads into a web browser, an "impression" is created. Many impressions add up to a penny. Many pennies add up to some serious money. If someone clicks on an ad, coffee money!

Why do you feel that your photos reflect so badly upon you as a writer, but that your grammar doesn't?
If you want to admire my picture, go to my webpage with the updated 2017 picture — and thanks for the ad revenues.
How can this be over? I just found out last week...

I also question the usefulness of a store that doesn't sell essentials like asprin.
The Whole Foods in my neighborhood shares a strip mall with a drugstore. You're more likely to find aspirin at a drugstore than Whole Foods.

Since when is community college a badge of honor?
When you're the first one in your blue collar family to graduate from college.

You know that Whole Foods (and the world at large) exists outside Silicon Valley, right?
I didn't think that the Matrix was that large.
You were sent to the principal's office ... in kindergarten? You were a gangster!
I was BATMAN! And got a couple of goose eggs from jumping off the slide the wrong way.
