I’m funded by Big Small, the lobbying group for those people who sell hand made crafts on the sidewalk.

Yeah, I didn’t need a lot of RAM, which is why they were relatively cheap. They’re compute heavy, with 128 cores, 256GB RAM, and 4TB NVMe. Compute heavy is a relatively common use case for servers though.

Oh boy. Yeah, adding graphics/AI stuff is a whole different ballpark of expensive.

Data centers cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Now imagine building a data center for some stupid fad tech, then when you’re done and ready to bring it up, everyone has moved on from the fad.

Oh and that figure doesn’t include the actual servers themselves. Considering my two production quality rack mount servers were about $5,000 each, if you put 20,000 of those in your data center (a very small amount, but the kind of servers in the same data center vary wildly, so I’m thinking a fleet of these would be only part of the data center), that’d be another $100,000,000.

Surely this is the last group of people whose rights he want to remove. Surely.

Is this not textbook incitement of violence? Any decent government would prosecute him, but we’re fresh out of those.

Yeah, LinkedIn is a subsidiary of Microsoft, so I use them kind of interchangeably when I talk about it.

I am the founder actually. :)

The name comes from the idea of a shipping port, where all of this tons of stuff comes into the country, but organization is handled by the port without you ever having to think about it. Then the 87 comes from when I was born. xD (Though I did check to make sure IP port 87 wasn’t used for anything.) The logo being a ship’s wheel is also an allusion to the nautical theme of the name. And fun fact, the background image in the home page is the Port of San Diego taken from the Coronado bridge. I took it while on my way to vacation with my wife. :)

One day I want to make a little Easter egg when you SSH into port 87 on port87.com with your username and password. I’m thinking some kind of little mini game where if you beat it, you unlock some special feature or discount code.

I’ve had two goals since I was around 14 and really truly started to love writing software.

My first goal was to work for Google. I loved that Google had a “don’t be evil” approach to their business, and everything I saw about the working environment screamed fun. I eventually did work for Google, and during my time there they dropped the “don’t be evil” unofficial policy, and dropped the 20% time official policy. The work I was doing was cool, but management seemed really bad at their jobs. About 18 months into our project, we discovered that there were two teams in two different orgs working on basically the same product. After a week of “will we even have a job tomorrow” our team was the team they kept on. We had half the engineers of the other team, and now we were expected to implement all the features of the other team’s product into ours in half the time. It was a shitshow.

My second goal was to start my own tech company with a cool innovative project. Four years ago I had a great idea and thought this was the one. So, I left my job at Microsoft and started working on my own company. I’m happy to say that just a few days ago, I launched it! It’s an email service that has a new approach that keeps your email organized and is very spam and phishing resistant. If you want to check it out:

So I’d say goal #1 was achieved, but turned out to be shit when I actually achieved it. Goal #2 is in progress, and hopefully turns out a lot better than #1. :)

A lot of people know of the April Fools 418 I’m a Teapot error code, but did you know there’s a full Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol from the same RFC for running a coffee pot server? It even includes an HTCPCP method named “WHEN” to let the pot know it has poured enough cream.

The dot above the letter i is called a tittle.

They’ve been getting more and more violent for 9 years, so I really don’t see how this is a change. They literally tried to overthrow the government.

I like the taste.

Ah, ok. I guess that one should just be “copper” then.

I have a copper pen. It tastes good.

I agree, which is why we didn’t include simply “copper”, but “copper ore”, since I don’t think ingots of pure copper occur naturally. (But I could totally be wrong here, I’m just guessing.)

Ps, I love the pedantry. :)

Yeah, we’re talking about ice.

a

broadly  : any of various naturally occurring homogeneous substances (such as stone, coal, salt, sulfur, sand, petroleum, water, or natural gas) obtained usually from the ground

The rule we decided on in the discussion was that we would follow the dictionary definition of “rock”, which led us to conclude that ice is a rock.

If we want to be super pedantic, the dictionary does have a definition of rock as in “rock candy” that’s a sugar crystal, but we decided in the spirit of the discussion that we would not consider “rock” to include “rock candy”. And for the same reason, we do not include chunks of crack cocaine.
