Phantasy Star I was the first RPG I played when child. I remember my father showing us the basic commands, and then my brothers and I taking notes of items, magic, and drawing cave maps.
My company is involved in research and production of RISC-V-based chips in Barcelona, with partners. There is or was a partnership with Intel at some point, and I think NVIDIA collaborated in some tasks in one of the projects. But the idea that I heard from the presentations is to produce chips in EU with little dependency on US, China, etc.
I think there is a partition in our supercomputing facility for these new types of technologies, but since my work is running climate models, I only hear news from other teams like our AI factory, the quantum computer, or people involved with these new chips and some emulators (that I think work together).
That idea is different than what most are talking here in other comments.
The grammar and vocabularies don't match, but I think the worst are the expressions. Both sides have *a lot* of expressions that vary per context and location.
> But about time the Internet Archive had a US-independent backup.
Agreed!
> The Internet Archive Switzerland, online at https://internetarchive.ch/, is a newly-formed Swiss non-profit foundation that will operate independently within its national context.
I had a class in my masters about data centers (HPC Infrastructures). The professor was using some data centers somewhere in the middle of USA, in an area with hot weather as example. He compared that with ideal scenario (weather, power source, etc.).
In one of the slides, there were factors that influence the decision of where to build a data center, and several of the items involved finding a place with enough space and skilled people to work at this data center. He also commented sometimes there is politics involved on choosing the place for a next data center.
Just got an email from one HPC I have access in Germany. I guess all HPCs ans services like GH Actions are going to be offline for a bit. I think last time was on a Friday too, so it might be another Friday to organize emails, files, rotate backup/passwords...
For science fiction short stories I get all notifications of new issues and stories via RSS. There are some sites like https://www.freesfonline.net/NewAdditions.html that posts new stories every month or so. There are always news sites in that list to get more entries for my RSS reader, so no need to ever search web/agents for more content.
I'm in my 40s too. I haven't switched roles in ~4 years, and probably won't for the next ~4, 5 years. But I have always painted and drawn as hobby. Seriously considering trying that for a short time during a sabbatical or -- more likely -- find a job as contractor from Mon to Wed, and spend the rest of the time drawing and painting.
If you are concerned about employability then I think going back to school or investing in a masters or some technical courses could be interesting. Or even moving to coordination/leader/engineer roles?
But if you have a hobby, maybe you could consider trying something different like either doing it in parallel, or maybe combining with engineering. e.g. I'm considering something like Blender3D + drawing using Grease pencil. Blender can be programmed with Python too, and this way I'd combine two things that I like.
It'd be useful to have a similar resource control in browsers. Maybe there is a way for an extension to achieve that? I'd be happy now if there was an easier way to find tabs consuming too much memory or cpu, like an alert or an icon.
That would havw saved me some time a year ago! Bookmarked for next time I use NFS. It'd be interesting if it were possible to have something for gpfs and lustrefs too. Thanks!
