While most of the world bakes under the hottest temperatures since people have been keeping track of such things, in my part of the world we’re having one of the mildest summers in memory, which has followed what was also one of the mildest winters I’ve experienced in these parts. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn’t mean a shoe is about to drop.

Some problems with 'first name' and 'last name' fields in data

Mike Blumenkrantz: Dumber

=> ↺ Mike Blumenkrantz: Dumber

I just got back from lunch and have to work off some cals, and that means it’s time for another big lift on the blog. Today’s topic: how dumb can a driver’s compiler stack be?
As I outlined in the previous post, zink’s compiler stack is about to get a whole lot dumber for various reasons. But what exactly does that look like?
Lesser bloggers would simply link to the MR and say “figure it out”.

IDrive Compute

=> ↺ IDrive Compute

Each server uses NVMe storage, and you can outfit one with a Linux distribution, such as AlmaLinux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu. Like Digital Ocean, IDrive lacks the Windows Server operating system. Check out AWS or Google Cloud Platform if you need that OS.
