Thunderbolt 4 can do 40Gb/s, many of these cards would work fine with an external PCIe enclosure. Only the the highest bandwidth cards, like certain NVMe SSD's, and network cards, need a full bandwidth slot.

Title is a bit misleading, since Oracle is the brand and well as the a specific database product, he is claiming that Oracles cloud hosted version of mysql is faster than AWS Aurora, not claiming that Oracle DB is faster than mysql.

I had an irrational hatred of ORM's for a long time until I used them for a while. They are great for CRUD applications, they simplify a lot of your application boilerplate. Yes, you still should know and learn SQL, and know how your

Interesting, fibre optic cables can be tapped by an adversary, it's difficult to physically secure the entire length of the cable. Satellite radio communications can be monitored, as the signal is cast over a wide area. Satellite laser

Without a deeper understanding of what the nature of the API is, and how many requests are needed to service a given use case, the comparison doesn’t mean much. The Apollo developer claimed that it would cost him on average $2.50 per user p

The reason that processors take so long to develop, might have something to do with the complexity of the ISA, most of CPU development effort is spent on verification, if you have a simpler ISA, I would imagine that it makes verification ea

Is the reddiw code open source? I imagine if your project sees any substantial usage, it won't be too long before you receive a cease and desist.

Interesting that they added a rackmount option though. At a $500 premium too, I guess it’s mostly for iOS developer build servers.

No idea if the operating system will support nvidia graphics cards on arm. However, even if it does, the mac pro only has one 8 pin power connector and two 6 pin connectors. The 4090 needs a 16 pin input, and I've only ever seen adapte

I don’t know anything about XRPC and Lexicon, but claiming that OpenAPI is better than them because it’s more flexible, is not a great argument. OpenAPI is a very complex spec, and most of the tooling around it, only supports some subset
