You absolutely must go!

Not only do they date back hundreds of years, they are located all over the planet. First modern planetarium was built in Germany in the early 1920s.

As a professional musician and someone who works for a prominent Japanese electronic musical instrument company, I’m going to have to disagree.

Thunderbolt provides all the low latency of a PCIe interface with none of the drawbacks. I use an Antelope Zen Tour in my home studio and it is just amazing.

The systems I designed for work though use RME PCIe cards, but those systems aren’t in the hobbyist space.

While the pollutant volume is smaller, the exhaust is typically worse that a car/truck: https://gearjunkie.com/motors/motorcycle-vs-vehicle-emissions

And torrents start seeding automatically

Not necessarily, that should be configurable from within the torrent client.

There are some lovely tools that allow kernel updates sans reboot.

Oh really, I think you and my Debian server with >10 years of uptime should have a conversation.

Hey it’s me, your cousin…

TL;DR:

“Stop advocating for things you care about, it’ll never happen. Fuck your passions and your want to share them with people.”

That’s how you sound.

Just download more.

The point where I was using my master’s in computer engineering to design physical chips? You know, using my fundamental understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the physics that come along with it.

Nice job getting butthurt

Your other comment drivel makes the irony here quite palpable. It’s delicious.

Why wait? Carpe Linux.

nothing requiring that amount of power

My simulators, Pimax, and three 4k 144hz monitors beg to differ.

While I love the thought, I’m not going to hold my breath on replacing my 880 TB of spinning platters with SSDs.

Fuck yeah! Go science!

Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

Itanium

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

And the Xeon Phi (Knight’s Ferry/Landing) was in the GPU space, but only in GPGPU. The idea was that the Xeon Phi, with an x86-compatible core, could, with less modification, run software that was originally targeted to a standard x86 CPU. Something like 68-70 x86-64 cores.

I had a couple of them when I was taking parallel programming back in the day. Nifty little devices, but largely outshined by distributed multiprocessing for x86-64 and paled in comparison to the power of CUDA. That might be my own bias talking though.
