A lot of old hardware uses TFTP and RARP to boot.
RARP just will get you the ip address, and the rest is hardcoded somehow in the machine - needs very little memory on boot.
For BOOTP you need some intelligence to know where are your files.
TFTP is also cheap in memory to use. UDP without flow, no nothing. Just send me the next packet in sequence when I ask you to do so.
I remember having trouble some years ago upgrading old Cisco routers because the image was bigger than what TFTP can handle.
Just a question:
if you're adding stuff at the end of the query... does the previous steps get cached?
I mean, if you type first:
FROM customers
|> WHERE signup_date >= '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z'
And then you add (and execute)
|> COUNT() as tally GROUP BY CHANNEL
First thing I thought is "this is a SELECT * in disguise", which is something that you SHOULD never do in BigQuery.
If you can combine it with CTEs, seems good because it adds legibility for complex queries.
Also looks easier for the planner. Not for the optimizer, though.
I won't pay anything that has to go to the IRS or similar to a corporation.
I might be OK for the company, but might put you in a big trouble with the goverment. Even if they act in good faith, you will need to do some paperwork or it will trigger an audit with the IRS that will take _your_ time, not theirs.
In the name of $DEITY: WHY?
I would pick without thinking the car without the child tablet attached to it, too.
We will be forced to switch to this kind of stupid cars by regulation, or planned obsolescence, not by choice.
Not entirely regulation and planned obsolescence but because cost.
Coding in the climate controls on the touch screen has a fixed cost that doesn't really increase with each car built. Adding multiple physical buttons, does. Even if each button costs cents to make.
I guess I did the usual thing:
- Cancel Twitter. I was moving to bluesky, so not a big deal. X removed from my webpage.
And some more other stuf:
.
- Meta: I am not a heavy user, but I just use less Instagram. Not posting. Cannot uninstall Whatsapp for social pressure.
- Amazon: bye bye Prime. I find it a Scam anyway and I try to buy outside AMZ as much as possible. It is easy to find stuff outside AMZ, btw.
- Cloud: I don't use AWS personally. Professionally I won't endorse it.
- Google: canceled my GCP account. Everything is in Digital ocean and Hetzner. Sill have Gmail and android :-( I won't Rene Google Cloud certification.
I am looking for alternatives to AWS and GCP. Not a fan of Azure, but who knows. For me Hetzner and DO still work. I see Oracle cloud with better eyes right now, but I don't like their billing process.
We're using small language models to detect prompt injection. Not too cool, but at least we can publish some AI-related stuff on the internet without a huge bill.
Maybe you can use it to decompress some files and assess how much disk space you can save using deduplication at filesystem level.
If it's worth the effort (1 mean, going from 1TiB to 100-200 Gib) I would consider coding the reassembly part. It can be done by a "script" fist, then can be "promoted" to a FUSE filesystem if needed.
Some teachers in Ibiza fly daily from Majorca because rental is too expensive.
Of course it works because flights between the isles are subsidized by the goverment, but stuff like this happens.
