I’m so confused as to if this is a “whoosh” or if I’m the one "whoosh"ing.
See, I remember that from friends (our first was a little later, a 286 IBM that was pretty loud).
BUT, my nostalgia comes from the sound of a server room. I ran a BBS as a teen, and later randomly visited all the startup ISPs in the area before one brought me on as employee #3. We started with shelves of external modems before moving to one rack, but when we were bought and those few times I went to real server rooms (and times since) were great. The organization, level sound, raised floors, love it.
Surprisingly I still prefer quiet for my homelab, though.

Technology•Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreementEnglish
3·4 days agoBecause even using AI as a tool and having a human review it still means the code the LLM output could have come from non GPL sources.
I get why they are passing this by though, since you don’t know the provenance of that Stack Overflow snippet, either.
What if country is intended to be the third word in the sentence?
Ahh yes, that is actually what we have, too.
If you’re ever in San Francisco, the Computer History Museum is fantastic.
Two of the beds need heated electric blankets.

Kavita is multiuser, each with their own progress sync. https://wiki.kavitareader.com/getting-started/
Now do tell, is it page 10 on a 5" 800x480 eink display with 48px font size and giant margins/lineheights/word paddings, or is it page 10 on a 13" display of 2480x1860 resolution with 11px font size and barely any margins
Again, it’s a protocol and developer discression can be used. Page 10 could be word 10, or word 1000/avg 10 words = 10. PSE can be used to store progress, without needing to request the page because the eBook is local. It could be any API format.

Not The Onion•Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’English
25·5 days agoAs another commentor pointed out in the article thee thread, yea, he says these words, but that’s not what it seems like he means, or even some Freudian slip.
He’s talking about the problem with the numbers, and happens to start with the teenage statistic, immediately moving on the young adults and then the “why” behind it.
So many crazies on TV, this guy doesn’t seem like one of them (other than agreeing to be on FOX).

Doubt. A stack of hard drives in a backpack still has the highest bandwidth.

Sometimes the visual example doesn’t work well when describing math. So an alternate:
Pick a number 1 - 10. 8. Correct and accurate.
Pick a number 1 - 10. 3.1415926535. Uhh, precise, but not accurate.
Or:
Accurate is drilling the hole in the middle. Precise is picking the exact right size drill bit.
PSE is a protocol, how information is used on each side of that protocol is at the developers discretion.

World News•‘It started with a tip-off’: how a Guardian investigation exposed child sex trafficking on Facebook and InstagramEnglish
2·6 days agoIt started with a tipoff. I was reporting on the trafficking and exploitation of migrant workers in the Gulf when a source I had known for more than a decade reached out.
The first sentence is wrong. It started because of the second sentence.
Katie McQue, the author, spent over a decade fighting for human rights. A “tipoff” should not take credit away from her work.
