It's not that it isn't possible for a single person to do a monstrous amount of work, but that it takes an organization to do a breadth of things and maintain it over time. I also don't disagree that some problems are self-in

The author's chief complaint appears to be that dmd produces incorrect debug info on Windows, something I'd expect a reference compiler to do. A reference compiler doesn't have to be fast, but it does need to be correct.

I don't think you understand the fanout/fanin problems their product has. Twitter's raison d'être is allowing folks with millions of follows to see their posts in near real time, then monetize it with ads. That means ana

While true, I think it was illustrating the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" approach HN takes to Google in general.

Small world! Thanks for writing that, it was a really clever way to do it and saved me a bunch of time. :)

Pretty similar to that, we used pigz and netcat to bring up new MySQL read replicas in a chain at line speeds. I recall learning the technique from Tumblr's eng blog. https://engineering.tumblr.com/post/7658008285&

pigz is most useful on a single stream of data, vs. the more obviously parallel case of files without dependencies.

How does radar for lane guidance work exactly? I'm pretty sure all of the phantom braking events due to underpasses were vision related, given that radar is essentially blind to the road.

Thanks! I'm happy ya'll sell a kit, definitely going to pick one up. :)

How much are they, and where can I buy one? I don't typically follow through on "contact for pricing".

I was interested in the last point about AVX instructions, and found https://john-h-k.github.io/VexTransitionPenalties.html which discusses the problem.

Maybe not all concerns, you're still allocating memory outside of BEAM and you still need to be careful to yield control on longer-running NIFs.

Works well in analytics cubes since they can be combined. You can retain them across time too, such that you can ask questions like "how many unique users were there over the last N days?" without needing the source data. Great fo

You're neglecting to consider the most important aspect of HTTPS, even if you don't care about privacy or believe the encryption will eventually be broken: integrity. HTTPS significantly raises the bar on MITM attacks, such as ISP

Regen braking works by letting off the accelerator, not by pressing the brake.

Perhaps in TechEmpower benchmarks, which to be fair aren't the worst way of taking frameworks out for a run to see what they can do, but at the end of the day they're very synthetic workloads. Interesting applications are piles of

I can't recall the last time I used malloc/free in C++. Even new/delete are rare acquaintances, I use new most often in unit tests. As far as I'm concerned, it's automatic memory management (with lots of control). T

Restaurants and stores are single transactions, not ongoing subscription services. DigitalOcean makes you dig for the price increase, which is pretty scummy. They tried to soften the blow with a new droplet which looks even worse. At the en

I work on Drive. If you're observing deleted files, and you don't have any third party applications with access to your Drive, we'd be very interested in hearing from you, we take data integrity issues very seriously. You can

Sure, but since you're promoting Warp as "written in Rust!", that really makes the confusion unfortunate. Even worse if you ever opensource the fork.

I think you missed the forest for the trees. It isn't the model that matters, it's that copilot is building the classifier from intent (comments). It wouldn't matter if it was classifying flowers instead.

Not entirely sure why you're being downvoted, but it's true. Sometimes you need something to run at 9am daily, in your local time zone. If your local time zone shifts for daylight savings, you can't define it in UTC without c
