@JessTheUnstill I'm increasingly convinced that the people who complain most about "DEI hires" are nepo hires.

@drscriptt @cks This might be a useful starting place, giving an example of connections between a BMC and the rest of a server-grade system. https://www.issi.com/US/newsletter/Issue86_June_2021/ISSI_BMC-Engangement.pdf

At first, I was assuming that at least part of the PCH or equivalent would need to be powered-up for remote management, to allow for PCIe communication between the BMC and the management NIC, but maybe the RGMII connection eliminates that need? Maybe that's only for machines with a dedicated management NIC? Anyway, I've ended-up with more questions than answers after trying to dive-in to this topic.

@phil_stevens I don't understand why people can't see that accelerationism is not a viable strategy when what they're accelerating is white ethnonationalist theofascism.

Wait . . . so Jezebel is un-shutdown now? How did that happen? I'm overjoyed, of course! Apparently, there are some staffing changes. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether the resurrected Jezebel is still the real deal.

How many people have McKinsey management consultants killed with things like "Deny, Delay, Defend"?

@thomasfuchs @mwichary I don't think the Control/Caps Lock thing has much to do with being a keyboard nerd, but rather, those who've spent many years using a Unix layout keyboard, like a Sun Type 4 or 5, or any of numerous glass tty keyboards from a 20 year period.

@silverwizard I like how you think.

So, I have to learn to interpret ECG results, but only so I can alert the patient's practitioner of an abnormal result. I don't get to dramatically yell "She's in V-fib!" like in those medical dramas on TV, since actually diagnosing the patient is outside an MA's scope of practice. Paradoxically, it seems that I am allowed to grab an AED to mitigate the problem that I can't diagnose with countershocks.

@silverwizard That sounds a whole lot more efficient than cutting a bunch of chunks from around the core, then slicing the peel from each chunk, but it's not going to give you much of an intuitive grasp of areas under curves!

@silverwizard Maybe you have a better technique for peeling them than I do?

If you can prepare anything with mango in it, you can understand integral calculus.

@thomasfuchs I've been trying to popularize "space shitclown" instead, after reading Tarah Wheeler's opinion on the whole Karen thing.

Waiiit . . . does this place scrub EXIF data?
