Someone should rename the gens. I never know what people are refering to with the arbitrary names. Maybe gen a, b and c would work.

Transistors are only on and off switches when run in saturation. This is relevant to CPUs in the sense that the rising/falling edge and jitter affect the setup and hold times and thus the maximum clock rate. End pedantry.

I also totally was mixing up Ceph with ZFS. Linux tech mentions ZFS a lot. That’s the source of most of my RAID knowledge lol

This is the content I’m here for! Please continue I want to learn more

Gen x doesn't have feelings

You're all educated professionals. This meme is more about your average user.

They did use letters, but they started with Gen X, because X was a cool letter in the 80s. Gen Y was changed to millennials because that was the time period they grew up in. Then Gen Z, which is the end of the alphabet, so they restarted, but with the Greek alphabet for gen alpha.

"We don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he "invented" the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening."

I don’t know about you, but I quit doing that soul crushing work as soon as I could something I really loved.

There's an active region between on and off where the current from the collector to emmiter is proportional to the base current. This can be used in other applications like amplifiers. But in digital applications that active region is the transition time between low and high states.

In order to obtain a deterministic outcome the rising edge must be predictable and it must stay at a logic level 1 for long enough to account for propagation delay. These considerations are known as setup and hold. The higher the frequency the clock runs, the tighter these constraints become.

The meh generation

Barry Leiner wrote about how Gore helped get the Internet started:

"The Internet Society hosts a monograph called called "A Brief History of the Internet." (See http://www.isoc.org/internet-history/brief.html) The authors include some of the designers of the essential components of how the Internet works today: Barry M. Leiner, Vinton G. Cerf, David D. Clark, Robert E. Kahn, Leonard Kleinrock, Daniel C. Lynch, Jon Postel, Larry G. Roberts, and Stephen Wolff. The paper notes these key milestones in Internet history

Note that these authors of (and participants in) Internet history state clearly that as early as 1988, then-Senator Gore became involved in the goal of building a national research network. We'll examine his role in more detail later."

don't forget that the people that started naming the generations called themselves the "greatest generation"

Let's be fair, we millennial know how to fix stuff because stuff still can be fixed. We can glance back one generation away and learn about how stuff work back then, and also learn how to fix those stuff. Nowadays stuff aren't meant to be fixed, (late) gen z doesn't have thing to start tearing apart and learn about the inner working of stuff, because it's all glued/snapped together, with the culture being once broke just toss.

You seniors and your K8s I tell you whut

I'm not sure why people are down voting this. I agree 100%. The most techie people I have ever known are part of what you called "the Oregon Trail generation" (I love this term).

G5 piano note

'72 Gen X here, I HEAR YOUR CALL!!!

Is this a black market body parts game? Drug wars meets Oregon Trail?

Oregon Trail.

so middle of the road that they are left out of every discussion about generations. Boomers may suck, but at least they’re memorable lol
