Sometimes, I feel like concepts such as these need to be translated into terms the average hackernews reader will understand. Let's say your key metric you're trying to maintain or improve is P50 request latency. Its relatively ea

The overall experience is fantastic. It ends up being little edge-case things that have weird behavior. For me; my Razer Nari wireless headphones just don't work. They're not bluetooth; they have their own low-latency USB receiver

Its far to premature to even conclude that inhaled nicotine protects the lungs. This is just one study. Don't do anything stupid, like go develop a nicotine addiction, just because of one headline.

One of the big advantages Minecraft, and Factorio, have is their strict global grid system. Factorio's is two-dimensional, Minecraft's is three-dimensional, but they both have one. Satisfactory does not have this global grid. It d

Satisfactory is interesting in its own way. It'd be easy to initially think that its the better/easier game to get into for someone who hasn't played a game like this before, but I'd argue the opposite. The three-dimensi

Nearly every anticheat system already does this. The thing about anticheat teams is, they almost never talk about how their systems work, but I can practically guarantee to you one thing: There is no idea you could have which has not been t

Prolonged 100% all-core workloads, at what clock speed? With what cooling solution? All of these factors are variable. You could produce a number that says "the maximum clock the part is capable of, with a perfect cooling solution&quot

I agree. There are a ton of goods in the world one might initially think are non-essential, but become essential in the right circumstances (think: batteries, computer cables, tape, etc). There are many goods which would easily classify a

You may be right. I never counted nor directly asked, that was just the number I overheard. It felt right; afaik, all of the engineering happened in SF, except one remote office in (IIRC) Germany. I know there were a few companies they had

Yelp's engineering isn't likely much more than ~150 people (I worked there ~2 years ago, maybe has grown since then but honestly, given their revenue situation even then, likely not by much). The mix there is just like most compan

example.com is also always a safe one; RFC-2606 defines four top-level domains and three second-level domain names permanently reserved by IANA for testing purposes: .test, .example, .invalid, .localhost, .example.com, .example.net, and .ex

This is classic anxiety. I've spoke with a surprising number of people who've never experienced something like this before, never thought they could get anxiety/panic attacks, think they have the virus, etc. In some cases, ev

To be more clear, I meant "it can't only be development and QA". Meaning, there has to be something else included in that number that is not traditional R&D. Also, to be clear: the statement is meant from the perspectiv

500 employees versus 700 R&D employees . If that 700 count is including support staff, then it becomes slightly more believable, but even then, I'd expect Zoom to be at that 700-1500 number in terms of total employees, not jus

Is "Support" traditionally categorized under research & development? Possibly enterprise support or solutions engineers?

> Zoom’s most recent SEC filing shows that the company (through its Chinese affiliates) employs at least 700 employees in China that work in “research and development.” Wow. What could all of these people possibly be doing? It can't

That isn't the point the OP is trying to make; they're saying, correctly, that Netflix limits the resolution to 720p/1080p in browsers like Firefox.

I think, and hope, that this is the best case solution, and its what we pursue. As long as people take the core of the "social distancing" measures to heart, and practice them every day, we can control the spread without Stay-at-H

I think, actually, this statement is misguided, for a couple reasons. Its very likely that people are underestimating the average city's "hospital beds per capita" metric; frankly, a ton of people live in the average city (du

I think there's a shard of truth in the assertion that: if you ask an epidemiologist how long people should remain locked in their homes, they'd tell you "forever". If you ask a capitalist how long, they'd say &quot

Decisions like this have less to do with "what are you doing now" and "what was your intention", and more to do with "is there a pattern" which is an externally surfaced signal that something deeper is going on

There is a very real, if hidden, cost to economic suppression, especially in the United States where social safety nets are few and far between. There's a line in the Big Short: "Whenever unemployment drops 1%, 40,000 people die&q

During the US coronavirus task force briefing just an hour ago, one of the heads of the HHS suggested (without outright saying) that one of the reasons (just one of them) the US is lagging on testing is because they're concerned about

"Investing" and "Stock Trading" are incompatible in the same sentence, unless combined with a phrase like "does not involve". You can buy and hold, or "Invest", on any platform which, in my opinion, h

Yeah, that was a misprint on my part; I should have referred to them as density classifiers, which is what they are. My brain got jumbled because my broader point came later on, in how there was a time years ago when many apps were elying o

We did use to do things generically, but more-or-less the wrong kind of generic. Android is a great example of this. I don't know how things are done now, but for its first few years, they had screen size classifiers; ldpi (low dpi), m
