From what I understand, the problem is more political than archaeological. I'm sure the researchers are going all they can as fast as they can within the political, legal, and resource constraints there.

It's the "very long drill bit" part that's problematic. They're trying to explore with minimal to no damage to the original structure.

Perhaps. I'm not very familiar with Unity and the development kit itself, but I would imagine it contains the necessary testing harness and other infrastructure.

Imagine spinning up 1000 instances of your game through Kubernetes and running automated end-to-end tests, with automated inputs and screenshot capture.

Certainly. However, there's a difference between keeping scalability in mind, and actually implementing/maintaining a complex database scaling system at the onset of a project. Edit: I would also add that most projects I've

This article is also very useful in showing just how far you can push Postgres _without_ reaching for any of these optimizations. I've seen too many projects worry about these things very early on in their lifecycle, when in reality t

None of the benefits you mentioned requires a real-time feed. They just need to capture and store the video for later analysis.

Not if you put it that way. Apple can simply make new AI features exclusive to newer phones with updated versions of the chips. If they open the chip up to developers, this effect can spill out to the app store. That would then provide the

It's issues like this that really highlight the benefits of shuffling deleted data to a separate archive table through triggers, or leveraging temporal tables. It may not necessarily be as efficient as maintaining a flag, but it dryast

QNX had a vibrant life and strong name recognition in its field pre-acquisition, and the BB acquision hasn't really changed that. It still operates under its own name. Those in the target industry (real-time OS) would know who QNX is w

Can you provide any sources for the examples you provided being accepted to satisfy O-1 visa criteria? If things really were this easy, I'm surprised this isn't discussed more.

In general, I agree with all but your last point. There are many things in Java that were good ideas at the time of introduction, but turned out horrible (serializable, finalize, etc.)

I wouldn't expect many applications to call the actual syscalls directly - most will defer to libc or some other layer of abstraction, where these differences can be hidden away.

I use VSCode for front-end dev with TypeScript due to the simple out of the box setup and snappy interface. For back-end in Java/Kotlin, I use Intellij IDEA - I've yet to find another IDE that can provide the refactoring and stati

> I wonder how many HDD can survive 361 days of 80MB/s non stop? I wonder how many consumer HDDs can survive that load. I would be shocked if datacenter-grade drives fail after only 361 days of continuous load.

Unless we know where the application is bottlenecked, it's hard to say how this affects scaling. Reducing CPU usage may have no real effect on scalability if IO is what's keeping them back.

If there's money behind the case, lawyers will sue anyways, arguing that the IP shell is a related entity whose actions can be reflected upon the parent.

Nice! It's great that we still have a runnable record of Debian's past. One thing I'm interested in, is if we can get the Debian 0.91 userland running on a recent kernel. With Linus's attention to preserving backwards co

Reading about this reminded me of Cicada 3301 from a few years ago. Did anyone ever find out the purpose/meaning of those puzzles? Edit: It looks like there were new puzzles in 2015 and 2016! So this thing is still ongoing...

Can we also get a containerized on-premise version of this service? We'd like the ability to spin up a couple of these behind a load balancer to let us achieve web-scale.
