“Let’s give our new command line app the same name as a popular linux command even though it’s not the same app and behaves differently. I’m sure our users would appreciate it when they have problem with the app and trying to search the solution later.”

Strap 20 sd card with 1TB capacity each. Send the pidgeon to a neighboring city, 2 hours flight time.

Bandwidth: 2.78 GB/s (assuming no wild hawks in the area)

Man, if it were me, I’d probably bit the bullet and bought a new motherboard instead of returning the processor. With my luck, I’ll probably run into some issues with the ram sticks and bought some new ones. Heck, maybe I’ll run into some issues with the old gpu and buy a new one too! Then the psu would probably need to be upgraded to power the new gpu. The temperature would probably kinda hot so the case must be replaced with new one with better cooling. Heck, now the monitor is too shitty for the hardware and need to be replaced with a new one with hdr and high refresh rate. Then the mouse would suddenly died and need to buy a new one too.

Unlike hdd, I never experienced graceful disk failures on ssd. Instead, they just randomly decided to die at the most inconvenient time. Raid 1 saved my hide a couple times now from those ssd failures.

You made one critical error in this perpetual energy machine plan: linux users don’t go outside.

He wouldn’t make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.

Now, if he still does it these days…

Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

Distributed hashed linked list is so yesteryear. These days we’re into text autocompletion instead.

What do you mean? Can’t you see all those innovations in the ads and tracking industry?
