Remember when Microsoft wrote a storage driver for MS SQL Server? And how it interacted with the 'native' MS Server driver?

I'm reminded of the arguments had over SCSI RAID controllers, and turning off read-after-write-verify... Since, at the time, SCSI drives did RAWV in hardware, that was redundant on the controller. And in software.

This came to a head, for me, when I queried a Novell Labs fellow about the 'non-media defects' I saw deactivating SCSI drives on servers. They finally gave in and explained, it was a controller defect. Which I challenged. And they finally stated that a drive hardware write error (RAWV fail) would report as 'non-media' because the intervening RAID controller gave it back as a controller error, which was usually wrong, but that was the way it worked. And since SMART didn't exactly work on SCIS, and log sense was not implemented in most RAID controllers, we had minimally useful diagnostics. So I would keep track of the drives that elicited 'non-media defect' messages, and schedule them for replacement.

It's almost a pleasure to read discussions about RAM doublers, etc., and no one remembers when these were bits of software that actually did not do anything useful at all. Ah, the 80s.

Brilliant! That's exactly what they should do, without argument!

And? Hypertext isn't 'the internet.' It's a logical extension to the concept of a page reference.

They clearly added Rust as an agenda, rather than a feature add. When do you ever see them list the languages used for release? "We decreased the C++ X from 0.001ms to 0.0009ms", you never see that. Why point out Rust? Regardless what I think about the claims of Rust, since it's not relevant, why point out you used it at all? If they always included the languages used and notes about why the languages were used, and what they're doing, that's fine. Do they do that normally, and I'm just clueless? I don't remember seeing that ever.

The “Pay Gap” doesn't exist as systemic, universal discrimination metric, we have decades of research that show that. It's a feminist fever dream, that they have to hold because so many of their arguments have failed, are irrelevant, or don't work.

Yep, good on Cloudflare, DNS is not the right or appropriate protocol to use for blocking access to sites. They're in my opinion, handling this correctly, using a CDN. Hopefully, if this is appealed they don't screw it up.

That's the best line in the post, a powerful notebook could easily run $2500 CAD+ with prices easily climbing through $5k for a workstation geared computer. Assuming they aren't just talking about the standard e-waste notebook companies hand out, that is a good-added deal.

Do what you want way up there. The swing between summer and winter amount of sunlight is drastic. However, down here? The change makes it much worse. It takes months just to get back to baseline after the clocks change. I just donâ(TM)t care, either pick one or just move the clocks 30 minutes one last time and keep it there. why has no one thought of this? Did the Canadiens study that? Move the clocks by 30 minutes and keep them there.

There's more than one, and you don't have to argue anything, I'm willing to walk away, there's nothing really useful to say anymore.

I'll even grant all photos are AI generated, it doesn't change the overall point. It's the association with the bills, together they form a picture that he really doesn't want. Even if I just ignore Epstein, and all his buddies, so that entire mess never happened, the bills alone are bad enough to label him. Let's not hold up on the point if they're AI generated, or AI altered, I can grant that, and it doesn't change anything, really. I'll quote the original point I made, in two parts:

Part A:

Part B:

The entire point of that was to mention he's doing the opposite of keeping kids safe, and collecting data he should be trying to distance from. In a very rough overview, and I'm not a lawyer or legal professional, but I do watch legal review, Carney is trying to legislate CSAM collection, why? C-8, C-22, C34, and C-36, they don't require Epstein for Carney to be guilty of what I'm calling him out on. I don't believe all the photos are AI generated or AI altered, I think I've clear on that, but either way, he's still in a world of trouble from what his party is doing. That's not false information, I've listed the four extremely problematic bills, so if the RCMP is going to make posts on Social Media about keeping kids safe, why are they not calling out the Liberals?

You can look these up on DuckDuckGo, Google or any search engine, do you think every photo was AI generated or AI altered? If we're going to start baselessly dismissing photos as AI X, then everyone, in every photo they don't like, is just an AI fever dream. My point to why we can believe the pictures, look at the bills, he's not trying to protect children, he's trying to violently digitally molest them, and collect CSAM, why? I listed the bills C-34, C-36, C-8, and C-22, all a means to collect and abuse, and importantly, not just abuse adults, abuse children, his favourite pass time. I also mentioned C-9, but that doesn't apply for this, it's just an idiotic far-left bill.

I think Flock is accountable here, they built an AI that gives unwarranted trust. If Flock is really innocent, lets open Flock to everyone, and let anyone use it's massive cache, since it's recording the people, and the people control the government; therefore, people should have access to what Flock captures. I think Flock should be flipped, let it record the government, and government employees, and let the people monitor it, to make sure our tax dollars aren't being wasted.

If Miranda rights were written a little like the Second Amendment, police would indeed have a PD in house for this. But even the 2nd Amendment, despite 'shall not...', is regularly sidestepped. Bear in mind, though, that in many big cities the schools are teaching that police are the enemy. They fail, however, to follow that up with 0) know your rights, and 1) STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. But to make big city school systems are cheating students out of a future. It's criminal.
