Not enough info. What are you trying to actually accomplish here? If you’re stress testing and trying to measure how fast a server can process all those requests, use something like jmeter. You can tell it to do 100 concurrent threads with 10000 requests each, then call it a day.

Bluetooth sucks on all platforms. It may be worse on Linux, but given how often my coworkers on Mac and Windows have audio issues it meetings, not by much.

Get a good set of RF wireless headphones and only use Bluetooth when you’re traveling.

I joined a team years ago where everyone would catch exceptions then throw a different exception in the catch, swallowing the original. Sometimes these were nested many layers. Troubleshooting was a nightmare.

I spent a week deleting all of them and told everybody that “try” was now a forbidden word outside of entry points.

I have a cache drive in my NAS for reads, thinking about putting a second drive in there so I can have a read/write cache array. It makes a huge difference over just having spinning rust. I’d love an all-flash array, but 36TB of SSD would be very expensive right now.

Note to others reading this: If your main use case is gaming (or anything other than storing/processing buttloads of data), I’d suggest just getting a bigger pcie3 drive instead of a faster pcie4/5 drive. Going with a faster drive won’t be a noticeable difference, but having 2-3x the capacity (for the same price) will help.

The scheduler is limited but it can still schedule across all the threads and cores in a given system. It’s just doing it less efficiently. The headline is misleading.

The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.

This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It’s a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can’t imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.

Desktop or laptop? Do you need peripherals included? Honestly for under $500 I’d highly suggest looking at refurbished machines. You’ll be able to pick up an off-lease Dell or Lenovo or HP system for < $300.

This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.

As wraithcoop suggested, you can install additional software like rectangle to do the job. But why is that necessary in 2023? Window snapping has existed forever on Linux DEs and Windows since Vista.

“You’re holding plugging it in wrong.”

I’m amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don’t have window snapping.

It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn’t even detect the correct resolution. I’m guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into “advanced settings” just to set the correct resolution.

If everybody could stop using Twitter, that’d be great.

If they wanted to make browsers less secure, they would do so in much more obvious ways.

The new proposal demands browsers automatically trust government created root certificates. That means any EU government can do a man-in-the-middle attack on any end user running that web browser, even users in other countries. There is no reason to do that other than to spy on people or to manipulate the content that they’re viewing.

If any government, or company for that matter, wants to make their own root cert and deploy it to all their users/machines they can already do that easily. A lot of companies that work with sensitive data already do this, and some companies (ex: symantec) provide solutions to do it very easily, so the IT team can see everything the users are doing.

This is what the company valued itself as being worth. Not what it’s actually worth. So I’m not sure if Elon is trying to over or under value here, but I’m guessing over.

You’ve described a big part of why I hate startup culture. “Let’s build cool thing then sell it to a huge company and get rich.” I’m never doing it again, such a waste of time and energy.

50-60% of my initial attempts at connecting to something via bluetooth is my accidentally selecting the wrong device. I’d say maybe you’re one of my neighbors but I definitely wasn’t up at 5am.

RISC-V is probably the closest thing we have. But manufacturing is still a huge deal, as you said. Making anything with close to modern performance means dealing with microscopic things. I think it’s gonna stay difficult to do until 3d printers advance a lot. Maybe decades if not longer.

Most of that going to get eaten by transaction fees. Is Elon still involved in a transaction processor?
