Global configuration is useful for low response times to attacks, but you need to have very good ways to know when a global config push is bad and to be able to rollback quickly. In this case, the older proxy's "fail-closed"

LCDs have actually used temporal dithering for ages to fake higher bit depth-- it let TN panels with 6 bits if precision per channel appear to have 8 bits of precision, and now it's being used for HDR-10 too! Temporal dithering is much

Yeah, 3.3ns is about 12 CPU cycles. You can indeed create a pointer to a memory location that fast!

File watching is flaky enough that polling based implementations are a better choice. You can stat tens of thousands of files every second, and easily optimize it to check frequently changes files more often. https://esbuild.gith

This lookahead is very similar to the "lazy matching" used in Lempel-Ziv compressors! https://fastcompression.blogspot.com/2010/12/parsing-level-1... Did you compare it to Buzhash? I assume gearhash is f

Steam unfortunately doesn't use a rolling hash like this (fastcdc, buzhash, etc.), but rather slices files into 1MB chunks, hashes them, and updates at that granularity. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/

A lot of cameras write "lossless" to mean "perceptually lossless". This is easy to do because ~12-bit ADCs have lots of noise in the low order bits.

UE BPs do have a few abstractions available-- macros, interfaces, classes, data-only. [1] I think the greatest challenge of VPLs is how they don't have an inherent linear structure, so reading and understanding them for modification re

You probably don't spend enough time on their sites to have a good ad targeting model of you developed. The closer you are to normal users, with hundreds of hours of usage and many ad clicks, the more accurate the ads will be for you.
