I am the Walrus?

When I htop and sort by memory, my finger hovering above F9...

Missed opportunity to replace "dozen" with 11 ;)

Once I pulled an HDD out of an old TiVo for a desktop build (Gentoo, I think

this was a while back). I called the machine "voit" because it was an anagram of TiVo

but I particularly liked that it's a homophone for Voight, of Voight-Kampff fame.

Interesting, TIL

thanks!

Books has become e-books.

To some extent

but have you been to a hip bookstore recently? They exist, and are very much alive.

It makes for a mean cappuccino, and is environmentally much, much lower impact.

My comment from another thread: https://startrek.website/comment/16491624

tl;dr: tiny production, would be astonished if they got $6k out of it, and that's not counting time, props, transportation, etc.

It's for 5 performances on the calendar, tickets are $30. It's a 49 person theater

and some of those seats are sure to be friends and family comps. Venue costs between $200-$250 per performance.

It would be a miracle if they got $6k from tickets after venue fees. And that's not counting time, cost for props, transportation, etc.

This is small time artsy theater. Suggesting that it's a cash grab is a bit insulting to those involved.

Compensation for engineers in the Bay area will average much higher than $200k, and that's not counting benefits (medical, etc.). So cost to the company will be way higher than 200k/employee.

For a project that has hardware, there will be large expenses associated with that

custom silicon has huge setup costs, for example.

And you're worried that the show is starting small???

I didn't say I was worried; the headline left a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, I was adding some detail.
