There is no situation where cameras are acceptable in another person's living space, so whether this only affects honest hosts is irrelevant; as long as it reduces usage, it is a good thing. Imagine hotels arguing for allowing cameras

A race condition is the lack of determinism in a sequence of events that can lead to undesirable effects. Eventual consistency is an approach (and consistency model, design philosophy, whatever you want to call it) that accepts this lack of

There's some factors to consider here. For visible light yes, the smallest feature probably won't be smaller than several hundred nanometers, however, optical computing comes with several major advantages over traditional electric

Exactly. It comes down to whether the consequences of these race conditions are acceptable or not. Sometimes (known and understood) race conditions are okay for performance reasons. Shoot, that's the whole philosophy behind eventual co

The lack of a transmission, not needing to go to a gas station, and no exhaust (particular the highly targeted catalytic convertor) has become invaluable to me. After buying an all electric vehicle, the only reason I'd ever touch a non

Tesla started the Supercharger network over a decade ago as a rather small company. A non-tesla charging network is absolutely feasible if automakers would agree on a standard and make a coordinated effort to build one.

That's how we handle idempotency. It's basically a mutex on the idempotency key with a timeout (in our case using redis with redlock since it's a distributed system). Once the command finishes, the key is marked as handled an

Why did this happen in this case if you said it doesn't? Netlify fought to bill OP repeatedly until it went viral.

I gave my wife instructions on how to access my password manager. From there it has everything (both usernames, passwords, and the URL to access). The password manager has categories, so financial stuff is all together for her to go through

It's as simple as questions that are phrased nicer get better responses. From there a tip might be construed as a form of niceness, which warrants a more helpful response. Same goes for posts that appeal for help due to a dying relativ

I'll challenge this idea and say that once it becomes ubiquitous, it actually does more good than harm. Things like revenge porn become pointless if there's no way to prove it's even real, and I have yet to ever see deep fake

At first you'd think maybe they can do a volume copy from a snapshot to a local drive on instance creation but even at 100gbps you're looking at almost 3 minutes for a 2TB drive.

NVidia knew that was a possibility when they were working around the intent of the trade restrictions. The Department of Commerce was quite transparent in their intentions, and NVidia undermined that and the obvious happened.

They're referring to the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law. NVidia knew they were not following the spirit of the law, and they understood that a result might be that the restrictions would simply be updated if they tried

Folks who bought a 4090 around release time did make out like bandits though as far as longevity of being the best.

You don't have to have a monopoly to be guilty of anticompetitive behavior, a monopoly simply means it's easier to be anticompetitive. Apple in the US has a roughly 50% market share.

We're already at the point where abstractions need to exist because devices (such as a modern x64 CPU) are so incredibly advanced. Even knowing assembly is a high level abstraction over an incredibly advanced closed-source chip. This a

Hopefully your company doesn't have its head up its ass and has basic things like logs setup. The vast majority of what I do in production is logged through AWS (Cloudtrail) or git.

It's truly fascinating how companies won't bat at an eye at spending ungodly amounts of money on things they don't need, but will sweat profusely at the thought of a tiny fraction of that going towards additional compensation

Text is the most useful data we have since it is so informationally dense; it's basically audio/visual data that has already been converted by a wet neural net into useful information. Video/audio is not going to be as signif

I think his point might be more that we've already gave all the data and hardware that is feasibly possible with the world's richest companies; exponential scaling with that has hit its limit. Improvements (including more data and

I'm describing regular sit down restaurants. Everything about the restaurant is the same except ordering with the waiter is replaced with a webpage you order off of. The QR code even automatically enters your own table number since eac

I'll buck the trend and say that I love QR code menus. It lets us order at our own pace, even after our initial order, without waiting on the waiter. Additionally, my wife and I can both queue up what we want in the cart on each of our

I never understood the food thing, to me it comes with the implication of them wanting you to stick around longer. Not inherently a bad thing, but there's definitely companies that I've interviewed for that told me up front that I
