Sorta like north korea then. Understandable why they got the job… Must have felt like home.

Boys… When it’s considered a hostle act to demand rights, ownership, and privacy… We have a problem.

I’m reminded of a particular movies speech…

Overheating. Shutting down.

We are talking theoretical here, of course. For enterprise to even give it a realistic look it needs to outperform very time tested equipment so… Were probably looking at needing to beat on cost, capacity, speed… Or to put it simply its actual value / cost for implementation. Currently there are a few different research grade projects at various stages of lab testing… And this, like those, needs to fundamentally provide (noteworthy) gains over the existing and also be able to be consistent outside of the lab. Were a fair bit away from that yet.

I mentioned earlier that we are in dire need of meaningful, long term, non-magnetic storage… And I genuinely believe that. But while I can be interested in the tech - it still needs to be viewed with a critical eye until it can produce results.

They are at 30 presently. The “standard” is somewhere around 300-500 which, again, is acceptable for cold storage at the current tape drive size of 10-30tb.

There are minimums expected as density increases. Cold storage / backup still needs this to be viable.

You need to put the capacity into perspective with the storage speed. The comment I made simply highlighted the issue with an extreme example… For the reasoning provided. And as someone who’s worked with emerging tech before… 30 Mbps is their ideal lap time in a lab environment. Do remember that 100 Mbps is considered absurdly slow for networking. 1Gbps sounds fast but even those transfer rates move into hours and days for larger file transfers.

We desperately need a non-magnetic storage for obvious reasons … But making a new thing is freakish difficult.

That’s the joke. The speed of a lot of these tech would require twice the time the data retention to write it.

We can place atoms in order on the head of this pin and store 30 Pb. Write speed? 1KB/min

This shit is why more people now have dabbled in DNS blocking and vlans. Its “your” equipment but you need to literally treat it as hostile.

Technically yes… But I think he was more making the excuse for the gore “from the goresmith’s perspective.”

And I’m not sure if the compiler in any language would change a random check function… The others are a possibility.

Seems someone said it before me… But you missed the point.

I’ll respond to your statement generally though.

Basic survival on 56k was doable. Shoutcast or Pandora could even be streamed with occasional buffering while browsing more light, or less heavy, sites. On the topic of video - low quality 240 would be “manageable” again, thanks to modern compression.

Was it a good experience? Rarely. Was it passible? Certainly; and if a site optimised for load time and reduced bandwidth - it could even be near broadband “experience” with some caching tricks.

Im not saying everyone needs to be code gods and build a 96k fps… But optimizing comes from understanding what you are writing and how it works. All this bloat is the result of laziness and a looser grasp on the fundamentals. As to why we should take a harder look at optimization?

• Datacenter / cloud costs are rising… Smaller footprint - smaller bill.

• Worldwide hardware costs are rising… Less people will be building fire breathing monsters. Better optimization - better user experience - more users. Recent examples (of poor optimization:) fallout and early 2077.

What is utterly stupid is with modern compression and rendering techniques - if it weren’t for developers shipping a whole ass library to prod for one function that is simplifying 8 lines of code… 56k would still be usable for light browsing and access. It’d be slow still… But far from literally impossible now.

The sheer amount of “fat” on some (most) sites and applications is just depressing.

What’s the point of being healthy when they have rascal scooters?

HEY my armor isn’t PINK its light red.

And who carries nuts? Birds.

… It was always birds.

Leave it to the demon slayers to stand up against evil. Metal as fuck.

You’d be supprised to see how many industries probably have some sort of backups in place for power … But it’s typically more costly to run and they may not have plans in place for extended outages. At the end of the day it comes down to money.

What’s frustrating about the current situation with the power companies is people just are unaware they are getting bled or don’t have options for recourse… Whereas monopolies and large companies are getting (fuck if I know why) white glove treatment and discounts. It makes little sense to be deferential to these massive companies - as while they promise jobs, economic benifits, and the moon itself… Data shows this rarely materializes. Its baffling.

Datacenter. The end.

Datacenters build their own micro power plants for uptime anyway. This is a line item and an investment. Little Timmy’s parents need to feed little Timmy… Not finance some techbro or deluded CLevel’s fomo into the next big bubble.

I second this. I am currently still using the waxed canvas bag from the distilled collection and all I’ve had to do is replace the strap from wear. Its seen rain, snow, and shitloads of abuse that would cause these cheaper bags to just disintegrate. Its old as shit by now but aside from being well worn - is still perfectly functional.
