Maybe coincidental, but the campaign of spam calls I get that leave voicemails completely stopped when this data center was hit last Thursday/Friday. Before I was getting 5-6 per day.

I tried a machinist board for a server I was building, but I could not get ECC working on it so I returned it.

The specs page (at least for the board I tried) noted the board "Accepts" DDR4 ECC RDIMMS, but nothing I tried indicated ECC was actually functioning.

It seems like it would be more effective to simply put all the solar panels in a field, and construct a cheap shade over the entire canal no? The supports in the picture are massive and don't look cheap. Also I would imagine the solar array uses more copper than a similar capacity array just built in a field. You can't daisy chain multiple miles of solar panels together, so you need an extra power line to run alongside the whole thing.

Put the solar panels in a field: The solar array uses less copper. The shade supports don't have to hold up solar panels: Shade supports cost less.

The best reasoning they give is that California has insane permitting requirements, and it takes 1/6 the time to build on developed land compared to undeveloped land.

> an Intel i5-1135G7 with 8 cores

The i5-1135G7 has only 4 cores. Hyperthreading is enabled, so it reports 8 "virtual processors".

Before getting a job in software, I used to buy cars from insurance auctions. Plenty of cars that run and drive end up there for various reason and if you were patient, you could get running and driving cars for $1000 or less (This was 7+ years ago). The catch is that you don't know what you're getting. You either have to have be mechanically inclined or know somebody who is to walk the lot and check the cars out before you bid.

Case and point, I bought a car that was fine when we inspected it, but when they picked it up with the forklift they knocked a hole in the oil pan, and we had to get it towed. $100 for a new oil pan (for the wrong year lol) and I got many years out of it.

Tim Apple stepped down. It's John Apple now

I'm not logged in and I still get old reddit. It depends on where you are.

Ryzen 5000 cpus are extremely cheap right now. I bought a 5900xt (16 cores) to upgrade a server a few weeks ago for ~$250. If you already have DDR4 you could put together a system for pretty cheap if you need it soon.

The downside is that AM4 is basically EOL, so no upgrade path.

I can only hope RISC-V's displacement of ARM at the low end will force them into competing more at the high end in servers / high end consumer hardware.

This site does not like being on the front page of HN. ~7MB for pictures of graphs that probably should have html or svg.

This is an interesting article though. Bookmarking since my dual e5-v4 system is unplugged until summer is over.

There is but it lags behind the latest apple hardware.

Asahi only supports M1, M2, and alpha support for M3.

Not that I blame them for the lag, there's a lot of reversing work because apple doesn't document this stuff.

Not defending the default behavior of zed, but it is possible to disable this. Setting `"lsp.<server>.binary.path": <some-path>` will stop zed from trying to install that server.

On my machines, the "languages"/"node" directories for zed are empty and owned by root and the lsp servers are provided by nix. But you could also pin known good versions with npm.

As far as I know Vscode has no equivalent way to do this.

Humans are famously rational and ego-less.

I had the same idea. My understanding is that Android isn't vulnerable to these because it doesn't have a user accessible setuid binary.
