I thought it was kinda meh tbh, but I have hopes for their peated expression..

What kinda graphics card do you have in there? I’m considering building one soon.

With the absurd price of RAM and flash storage (and still-fairly-high price of video cards) now is quite a bad time to purchase a new computer.

Having said that, I'm not the OP, but I currently have a Radeon 9070 (non-XT), and previously had a Radeon 5700 XT. Both work great.

Same way as they do with porn? Massive fines. Or the threat thereof.

I mean if you want to learn distributed systems stuff, two Erlang BEAM processes on virtually any general purpose computer are more than enough....

Oh I hadn’t seen this one. Any presentation from JoeA is worth the time.

I used it for smaller scale (low 10s of physical servers) back in the day also. But my problems with that started when i needed a lot more, the sysadmin/devops/whatever story doesn't scale.

Yes, ansible exists but it's actually quite hard to run ansible on a few hundred machines -- you need lots of RAM just to run the playbook and your first hundred or so separate deployments, you do need to reach for something like Kubernetes.

As for LX, why emulate linux when it's .... right there? The linux kernel is not a lot of overhead vs having to justify emulating the linux ABI on an OS the industry has largely abandoned.

There was a brilliant incident back in the joyent days where they accidentally rebooted an entire datacenter and ended up dossing their dhcp server ;)

I did use it on a project, it was meh, alright? In the end the main cost of our processing wasn’t storage latency but code, and this quite arcane scheduler was a barrier too much for most of our team.

I believe it was removed shortly after i left the project..

Fortunately there are only approximately 5 lexus cars in all Germany.

My audi can do this without the engine running I dunno why lexus cant…
