I live in Misawa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misawa,_Aomori) and work in Rokkasho (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rokkasho), which is the area where the earthquake hit the strongest. It was quite violent, apparently the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the region. My house suffered no damage other than a few things falling off the cabinets, and I could sleep soundly afterwards, but lets see today at work.

Oh man, here we go again. I see way more people complaining about the supposedly toxic Rust community than actual toxic Rust fans...

CERN is the biggest scientific facility in the world, with a huge IT group and their own IXP. Most places are not like that.

Heck, I work at a much smaller particle accelerator (https://ifmif.org) and have met the CERN guys, and they were the first to say that for our needs, OpenStack is absolutely overkill.

As a Spanish guy living in Japan, I find the Japanese system hugely complicated (or better said, antiquated), so I shudder to think how bad the American system might be...

10 000 TWh/yr is one third of the current total electric energy generation of the whole planet, is not a small amount.

I was born in 1985 and sometimes I wish I was born 10 years earlier to get to experience the heydays of the 8 and 16-bit home computers.

This is something that I have been noticing for years. Whenever I try to imagine "the past" (any time period before I was born), I tend to imagine it with fuzzy colors and film grain, like and old movie. It takes me some conscious effort to remember that the past looked the same as the present!

You walk to Einstein and Laszlo. They tell you they are building nuclear. You lol. I come to you I tell you the scientists say they can do it. You lol. Your IQ is..

I work in fusion research, which is a way more realistic goal than AGI and yet is perpetually 20 years away, so please try to find a better analogy :P

Poverty is a social and political issue, not technological. We have more than enough resources on this planet to fix it, but we don't.

This is a actually the fallacy of communism. It can never and will never be "fixed" like that.

I won't be fixed by magical AI either.

In which bizarre world is an RC script easier to understand than a systemd service file? There is nothing simple about RC scripts.
