> Petzold is considering using his rigs for an aspect of digital video production known as rendering, which can require significant computing resources. “There are other uses for the cards”
This is an incredible quote.
People have realized that there are other uses for graphics cards than mining crypto currency - like, oh I don’t know, I guess graphics.
I haven’t looked into the code yet, but I’m especially interested in the routing bit.
As a cyclist I’m almost always disappointed by google, apple, and Valhalla. The cycling directions from these systems are usually better than nothing, but almost always have one or two dangerous or ridiculous segments.
I’ve never tried to solve it myself, only day dreamed.

But where does this live? Or do you literally mean that Jane The Sys Admin is supposed to type this into her terminal every time the service restarts in the middle of the night?
What if I need to replace a node? Or scale a service? How do these secrets get there?
This isn’t a value judgment on database administration, just an anecdote:
I’ve worked at 5 small companies in the last 15 years, and freelanced for a few years. The dev team size was: (15, 5, 5, 4, 8). None of those companies had a DBA. One company we had a full time IT/sysadmin, but otherwise that role was filled by people with a title like “software engineer”.
In truth, I think we often would have benefited from the expertise of a DBA, but we never made the decision to hire someone for that role full time.
I’m all for respectfully seeking atonement, so long as it’s understood that the victim doesn’t owe the perpetrator anything.
Parts of the article made me uncomfortable, like how after the perpetrator had been blocked, they went through friend back channels to continue to try to communicate with their victim.
Maybe that kind of stalking will ultimately work out for the best for everyone, but that’s pretty presumptuous, and seems more about assuaging the perpetrator’s guilt complex than victim recovery.
Do you know the difference between a member coop and a worker coop?
REI is technically a member coop, so members (shoppers) are privileged to some of their profits. Members are also entitled to a vote for the board - but as far as I’ve ever seen this is a sham (two people running for two positions… can’t lose)
But a member agreement has very little to do with how workers are treated.
A “worker coop” might be what you’re thinking of - where all the employees collectively own the business and have some say in how the business is run. (Though how much say varies depending on the coop).
REI is not a worker owned coop. And whatever “member owned” coop benefits they have are basically a sham in my opinion. It’s basically a loyalty fee - like a Sam’s club membership except you only have to pay it once - meaning that your membership at REI is probably less valuable than your membership at Sam’s club.
The small town I grew up in also had a specific Soviet doomsday theory. Which in hindsight, doesn’t feel very plausible.
In the wake of the George Floyd protests family talked about their concern that out of state “Antifa looters” were spotted driving down the interstate headed right for them.
I don’t mean to call you a liar, Im sure there indeed are some obscure targets, and your home might be one.
I do think it’s a fascinating phenomenon- this idea of small town obsession with their own destruction.
A quote from Terrence Malick’s BadLands goes something like:
> and if the reds ever do drop the bomb, well I hope they drop it right here in Rapid City (South Dakota).
Just in case OP is susceptible to peer pressure, I want to offer that if you really love her, it’s OK if you have different operating systems on your phones.
This is an incredible quote.
