And if you were teenage college students way more risque clips than Star Wars :-) One of my fondest memory is when a sophomore buddy of mine does a telnet and sets the display to local ip and starts clicking on random audio files. The operator on the other side is a freshman. Comes running to the other room sees my bud and being one year senior asks - dude that SGI is making weird noises. Realizing what has happened my buddy quips - ah it makes those noises when it is heavily loaded :-D
Do you work in GIS field and it is useful? I am trying to see how a GIS tool will help a typical audience here that may be a little interested in maps + data.
I taught myself QGIS for spatial analysis of map data-- coming at it from a coding perspective. It has great Python integration. It's also surprisingly useful as a spreadsheet alternative for certain tasks because it supports a SQL-like interface into CSV data, so you can join CSVs with spatial data or with each other, create views and virtual fields, and so on. Overall, very impressed with the depth, breadth, and ease of use considering how powerful it is.
So weird to see this comment. QGIS powering government GIS groups and used by major geoscience and mining companies.. working with national sized vector and raster data.
Have you tried loading 500k features into QGIS? Well, try it and we talk again.
Govs used QGIS as alternative to pricey ESRI subscriptions, but come to realize that it is struggling even as a viewer. Happily latest versions allow simplification of features on the server side, but these are very new QGISs
Not directly related to antitrust but rather national industrial policy - there is a really good article on "Industrial policy without National Champions"[1] where the author also touches upon antitrust - worth a read.
"During that event, Cardiff Garcia did a fascinating interview with Paul Krugman, at the end of which Joe Wiesenthal asked a critical question. The United States, under Joe Biden, is embarking on an aggressive program of industrial policy even as it pursues increasingly vigorous antitrust enforcement. Aren't there tensions between these goals? Responding to an antitrust investigation of NVIDIA, Dylan Matthews similarly asked, "Here you have a tremendously successful national champion in a strategically critical industry. Is that exactly what you want[?]"
I must be old because first thing I thought reading AlphaChip was why is deepmind talking about chips in DEC Alpha :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha.
It will be interesting to see how users will use the new dedicated camera touch control. Other phonemakers have tried it in the past (Sony Xperia comes to mind) but capacitative is probably the first. Also how developers will adopt for their apps. It is a small change but definitely differentiating for Apple at least for now.
I have pretty much landed on a similar simple solution for my homelab. A minipc with dietpi + docker + dockge + bunch of homelab apps using docker compose. Important config backups on a S3 compatible bucket in cloud + photos backup on connected USB HDD.
