> What’s the best price/performance for a home lab server running Linux with ECC these days? Bonus points if it is rackable.

Old used enterprise server. None of them will be great at power/performance in typical (i.e. mostly idle) home use tho. Intel ones usually far better here

> However, as a provider I can totally see a situation where I (proverbially, I'm not in this business) sue you for disclosing what amounts to a trade secret (depending on what's in the fine print) and compel you to give up all documents so I can go after my loose-lipped client too.

I don't see this holding in court aside from the company needing to remove that info from the site.

You are not beholden to NDA you have not signed, and it woudld be employee that shared it breaking any agreements, not the company that then shared it.

> The destruction of the Twitter branding seems more out of spite than business development goals

Or just incompetence. Plenty of that. Assuming just because he is billionaire that he's competent at everything related to any company and the reason for failure is something else is silly.

He had no idea what the fuck he is doing and he fucked up.

Well, admitting otherwise would be admitting failure of managing that company and we can't have that!

Actually, why there is not? Company should be able to just get cert for wifi.company.com and then be allowed to just call its network wifi.company.com...

> Even in the US the Afroman raids show the police about to rip drives out of the security system .. if there'd been a decoy box | real time cloud backup there'd be more footage of the raid for his songs and court case.

I think bigger problem is people that think they can do that in first place still being employed in police...

They are also often on switch with single uplink to the recorder so if cameras are connected with 1gig you could just flood recorder itself, downing every camera connected to it.

Funnily enough modern machines have ISA in form of LPC bus used for few of the common peripherals (TPM) that can be used in ISA-compatible mode, and you can get LPC to ISA adapters.

Returning CSV is an api thought. A terrible one, as "CSV" means a dozen ways of how to encode the special cases/escaping in the column

Designing does. Building and using it is for confirming or revoking any prior assumptions you had about the initial design to improve it.

Most of the thinking should be put into designing and then revising the design, the "building" should be the simplest part.

Yeah but getting consistent is the bar you need to get to first before you can even be considered decent.

Being 1s faster than everyone best lap but having ~2s lap-to-lap inconsistency will make you lose every time.

I agree that grams are inconvenient to use for flours and liquids, so litre/desilitre/millilitre just seems the logical option.

It works for fluids but it is complete mess for any compressible solid (flour), and even non-compressible one that comes in different grain size(salt).

On side note it would be nice to have tabletops with builtin scale...
