Each transaction has a buyer and a seller. So in that sense it is a zero sum game. However the total market cap can go up and down and create value out of nothing (just like stocks).

It's just that I work in an adjacent area. It's not so much a question of security but of legacy, history, and performance. When Palo Alto was founded, 2005, I think C/C++ would basically be the only choice for these sorts of

Interesting that they use Go. I'd have thought most products in this space would be using C or C++.

That's a good point. If the proposal is to propagate that all the way through the pipe chain I'd support that. My gut negative reaction is to the complexity of adding flush timers.

You're right that it does not take input from the user. But I think you're in agreement with me that not everything is pipe-able. The buffer in Unix (or rather C?) file output goes back to the beginning of time. It's not the

Those ultra fast systems also have ultra fast I/O. Buffering is critical to get good performance e.g. on your NVMe. The difference between writing one character at a time and writing a few megabytes at a time would be many orders of ma

Sure. An alternative for combining interactive terminal applications might be interesting. But I think there is tension between the Unix mechanisms and interactive applications that's not easy to resolve. What's `less | grep` or `

I get that. But it's like complaining why your pliers aren't good at unscrewing a bolt. I'm willing to accept the UX isn't great but `tail -f | grep` is like `vim | grep` or `rogue | grep` (I'm exaggerating to try a

I would tend to disagree. The buffering here is doing what's it's supposed to be. The mix of something that's supposed to be interactive with a contract that's not meant to be interactive is the source of the problem (ta

A goroutine stack can grow. (EDIT: With stack copying AFAICT... so no virtual pages reserved for a stack to grow... probably some reason for this design?)

Aren't all trucks? Wouldn't the sensor suite and auto-braking make it maybe somewhat safer? Is this something that gets tested for by car manufacturers?

I saw my first Cybertruck the other day. It looked less weird in person than I expected it. It's a very different and new design. How many of the 91% we're comparing to are completely new designs. What's the correct benchmark

I think I live in the real world and your statement is not true for any of the projects I've been involved in. Kubernetes is absolutely used to solve real technical problems that would otherwise require a lot of work to solve. I would

I'm not an insider but afaik anything heavy lifting in Google is C++ or Go. There's no way you can use Python for anything heavy at Google scale, it's just too slow and bloated. Most stuff I've seen run on k8s is not c

If you were Google k8s wouldn't cut it. I have experience of both options in multiple projects. Managing containers yourself and the surrounding infrastructure vs. using k8s. k8s just works. It's a mature ecosystem. It's real

It's the way things work together. If you want to add a new service you just annotate that service and DNS gets updated, your ingress gets the route added, cert-manager gets you the certs from let's encrypt. You want Prometheus to

If your application doesn't need and likely won't need to scale to large clusters, or multiple clusters, then there's nothing wrong per se. with your solution. I don't think k8s is that hard but there are a lot of movin

I agree with you in principle that's the correct attitude. However I don't think the comparison to the music industry is necessarily correct. A lot of managers in tech got there because they are technically strong. We can argue ab

It'd get nowhere. The problem isn't money. One could say there's even too much money thrown at fusion research that could have better use elsewhere. There are just too many incredibly hard problems to solve.

I don't think so. A siege is not prohibited under international law. The Palestinians at that point had plenty of water and food. The bar, to me, would be at the point where they're actually starving, i.e. they have used up the en

Part of the political circus here is around the definition of occupation. The ICC essentially claims that Gaza has always been and is currently occupied. The ground truth is that Gaza stopped being occupied when Israel withdrew in 2005 and

It's not serious to suggest that Israel did not supply any food or water to the Palestinians when in fact it supplied plenty. Why didn't Egypt supply food and water to the Palestinians? (Before Israel took the border corridor). Wh
