@Pinboard it reads to me more like "1 billion dollars of Azure cloud credits"

@Carnage4Life maybe, but the bar to _even look at it_ goes wayyyy up. And in my experience with Discourse that is the primary hurdle. Will they *even look at it?* That's how you know if you'll care enough to do anything at all with it.

@Carnage4Life "install app" is a huuuuge ask versus "visit website"

@Gryzor yeah the other regional amazons are kind of embarrassing. Amazon Canada is particularly depressing

@AdrianMester would it really make a difference? 🤔

I can get it up to 5.88w with the custom ARM stress script, that's it for CPU draw. But if you add wifi, ethernet, a few external drives, etc you could maybe draw in total up to ~8-9w total or so.

@DawidFerenczy is there an iOS app?

These little USB power doodads are getting quite good. Raspberry Pi 4 running at idle. 3.33 watts. Not entirely sure what all the other numbers are, but this is cool 😎 https://t.co/V3WYq8cvlR

not the best case for a wifi or bluetooth centric Pi setup, though!

@rcarmo it doesn't matter too much, what we're looking for is to make sure we don't reach throttle temps in 10 minutes of artificial load, and I don't with the 20x20x15mm heatsink installed.

getting kind of erratic results due to room temps varying I guess, here's 3 runs https://t.co/hF4Zs17czk

Here's my results with stressberry on the Pi 4B. Red line is the 20x20x15mm heatsink. https://t.co/mCtiy1FgMm

@ftrain interesting https://t.co/BCsCCM0iTQ

@swgn I have but I don't think that firmware is final, even still

this is also super nice and has additional case recommendations. Look into the FLIRC heatsink case as well. https://t.co/VMfvdJs6uS

This little walkthrough includes an optional custom C stressor that can be compiled specifically for ARM https://t.co/m5G34GVZWk

I use a pretty tall 20x20x15mm heatsink. The Pi 4 passed 10 minutes of stress getting to 69c though. https://t.co/haG1HXFKrD

@aggregate_root usually comes with heat stickers, not sure how effective they are though vs paste. If it's being screwed together I would definitely use paste!

@TimSweeneyEpic @JacobDDraper @Carnage4Life There is maybe a broader conversation to have along the lines of "why do I need to individually pay hulu, HBOgo, netflix, disney, youtube, amazon etc for videos" (substitute "game store") but that's kind of a different problem in my book

@TimSweeneyEpic @JacobDDraper @Carnage4Life I think the Epic Games Store is just the kind of competition that benefits everyone. It's a textbook example.

@sbellware @SaraJChipps Honestly I worry about your mental health. Hell, I worry about my *own* mental health.

@matthegap wikipedia says it was only an enthusiast thing after the fact, never a product per se

@sbellware @SaraJChipps Can Scott Bellware do better, though? That's the real question, isn't it? 🤔 Sometimes "typing as fast as you can" isn't the correct approach.

@matthegap lolwut

@seesharp "One person studying climate change at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories opined that the U.S. would not take climate change seriously until it loses a major city." I think they're right.

@Pinboard https://t.co/3N60qSiY1V

@Carnage4Life maybe the better way to look at this is to wonder why so many famous people lost their marbles in the past as a result of having too many people trying to talk to them all the time, scale that forward to a world where that's the new normal, or at least 1000x more "famous" people

@Carnage4Life it's not really the same argument. Human communication fundamentally doesn't scale; you can't "talk" to a thousand people at once .. heck you can't even "talk" to a hundred people at once. Even ten would be a challenge and feel like being piled on.

@Carnage4Life Interesting, allowing credit card entry in the app itself rather than “the website” might get Google to take punitive action on this

@migueldeicaza please, use the correct technical terminology, "half a gigabizzedy"

@Pinboard @jhripley disk I/O is actually doing pretty good (sata SSD, m.2 SSD, PCI express SSD) relative to memory speeds, I'm just sayin' https://t.co/4iDRrya59h

@Pinboard it's not flattening out that much if you factor in GPUs. GPUs are why a lot of stuff is currently happening that was predicted to take much longer.

@onovotny @SaraJChipps @df07 I personally would not be interested in helping more white dudes, I figure they had enough help already ;)

@onovotny @SaraJChipps @df07 also since there's the new user ask wizard format (which is AWESOME) it'd be nice to add a step that lets people self-identify as "hey I am totally new to all this, can I get some extra help?"

@onovotny @SaraJChipps @df07 It was just an idea. There's lots of ways to massage the copy, which is also worth testing. Rapid iteration is the way to go in my experience.

@SaraJChipps @df07 why not collect the data by shipping the checkbox and find out? being able to roll out changes to the product quickly is a sign of health.

@TheOnion @Hanzo55 I don't think you can fully understand it until you've also played Castle Wolfenstein on Apple //

@ohazi @ptarnation @psaffo ok fair but where do you land in Oakland, exactly?

@ptarnation @psaffo I know nothing about small airstrips.. so there's like NO security there, you just walk on and off?

@doctorow @DinaPomeranz maybe the original 2010 iPad, but almost certainly not as powerful as a 2019 iPad

@psaffo wait wait waitwaitwait. Wouldn't getting in and out of the airport + through security take way too long for this to make sense?

@Pinboard the real impostors are people who misspell it as imposter, though apparently that is a somewhat accepted spelling in other BACKWARDS AND WRONG countries

@deanputney it's been impruined™ cc @cwodtke

@sarahjeong I did and I regret it

@jwz @kumarharsh I agree Smithereens was just ok but there was far too much wink-wink fan service and basically slapstick comedy in “Ashley Too”. I’ll admit this part was awesome though https://t.co/dfWjPRQYh4

@Amorelandra Why? I vowed to go to my grave with zero Facebook (or instagram, etc) accounts and I intend to keep that promise.

@patio11 @Pinboard @tqbf The users are their own worst enemy but you knew that already @Pinboard

@Seanbabydotcom https://t.co/tz7nFjLXfr

@df07 @SaraJChipps I still feel a "put me in the gentle queue" checkbox might be helpful, so impatient folks don't have to deal, and patient folks can opt-in. Alternately it could be an "I am from an under-represented group in tech" checkbox, if that helps?

@df07 @SaraJChipps I'll spare you my "why didn't the ask page meaningfully change from 2011-2019" lecture 😉

@df07 @SaraJChipps I still feel an "I'd like special help with my question" checkbox on /ask would be an important first step here, to opt-in matching with people who want to actively mentor

@b11c https://t.co/hgK9sszM9z

@kumarharsh Yeah I have no idea why @jwz liked "Ashley Too", I thought it was just terrible, such a mismatch to the other Black Mirror episodes in tone. It was funny, but that's not a primary goal for BM.

To be clear, the primary problem is placing an emphasis on "winning arguments". On top of that, there is always a power structure ... pretending there isn't one doesn't help.

he copied the asteroid data onto a 3.5" floppy disk first, of course, before rushing onto said windy-mountain-road

Fourth, I also loved that the initial asteroid discovery was stymied by inability to connect via modem to a dialup POP mail server (and then a comically dramatic windy-mountain-road semi truck accident) https://t.co/g3Tb58aY7B

Third.. *technology* (jazz hands) 👋👋👋 https://t.co/bE2WmeRCpl

Second, was destroying the larger asteroid predicated on the Messiah split damage existing first? 🤔 If it *wasn't*, then this is a fine example of engineering making the problem worse

@Pinboard @can @susanthesquark I mean we already sent you to the antarctic and this would be an easier trip

@can @susanthesquark @Pinboard Also fun, the twitter account referenced there https://t.co/0WgI7aYiFT

@can @susanthesquark @Pinboard I think we all forgot about that article. Did 2012 even happen, really?

@susanthesquark @Pinboard I don't think the editors could handle a 🌶 letter from Maciej. The NYT should invite him to give a talk there. He's a pinteresting guy.

@eviltrout delete it now

@tobermatt @Supermicro_SMCI I think that only applies to the weird automated update systems, not the "download and make a DOS boot USB key" method

@Pinboard it'd be funny if they quit to go work at Facebook

@ben_j_lindsay @hspter @anildash @shanley Much has transpired in that story since 2014, which feels like a decade ago or more

@Pinboard DNS based adblocking is THE BEST THING EVER

@textfiles I had forgotten all about The Mating Zone

@kwiens @craphound unlikely; you can screenshot by pressing top right and top left corners simultaneously. The reason I typically don't do it is because you have to USB tether to get the screenshot files off..

@gamesover try watching season 2 and see what you think 🤷‍♂️

@gamesover they literally show the aquarium, multiple times. I've been there and even I recognized it.

I have to admit it is worth a season 2 just to watch this incredibly talented cast of women just *tear. shit. up.*

@deadprogrammer You should really watch Years and Years on HBO, it has basically this among other things

@Carnage4Life wow "By midweek the company suspended service in Chicago altogether"
