Karate is great - thanks for that. We started using it 2 months ago to run complex test scenarios spanning multiple distributed systems. We are still learning how to use it most efficiently, but its been an asset from day one.

Yup. And for small, dense countries like the Netherlands there are also physical constraints. The Dutch try to protect their landscapes, and new development happens in areas that dont encroach on the farmland. And also, the building code ma

I think noone knows, really. In 2008 it was a single cause driving the prices up and then sharply down. This time around it seems to be an equation with a few unknowns: when will the war end - and how. When will china end their zero covid p

This is ignoring the speed of light cap. Its not going to be possible to keep all those increasingly complex, distributed systems in sync with low latency. Its not going to be possible to instantly run a series of tests that depend on each

Shimano is a Japanese company. They would be surprised to hear anyone outside the company is expected to have any sway over their policies. It's sad they turned to anti-consumer behaviour, as their hardware is top notch. But luckily,

Latency on cloud run is not an issue, in my experience (been using it around 4 years now, on a fairly large scale). Its generally fast as is, and if you want to pre-allocate a minimum # of instances, cold starts are less of a problem (basic

But, to get a cloud run based setup: - you need an elb - and this is not cheap (if you have an efficient backend, the elb will dwarf compute costs) - no persistent volumes, and you are encouraged to use gcs or firestore - each region requir

They sell to different audiences though, so maybe optimize for different outcomes. I'd imagine DDR5 is much easier to sell to a "pro-sumer" who games on Windows vs. to a programmer who runs linux and can make an educated deci

Well, we can always use the USB approach to naming. Lets just call the next thing web3 type II superspeed or sth.

Did this out of boredom (and inability to use my photo equipment as intended in the travel restriction years). My setup was a Nikon Z6II with a 50mm f/1.8 glass, plugged via a capture card. It can do a 10hr meeting marathon without ove

How would you know, without the "expensive" densitometry scan? My anecdotal experience: I lost weight via alternate day fasting and did indeed shell out the 120 euro that two scans cost me. I lost mainly fat, my lean body mass aft

Nope, I assumed any exposure to the light would cause blindness. The way it operated was it would stop if anyone was at the terrace (as indicated by the door lock being in a closed position, something one could do only from the inside). But

Yeah, I agree - this was an unsafe system. We lived in a secluded space, and that surely helped prevent accidents, but i'd not set it up like this again even if I lived alone. As others suggested, a water cannon would be safer (not ent

That was done on the cheap; there is a finite number of spots the pidgeons used to occupy. Pigeons also have a relatively fixed height when stationary. The camera was in a fixed position. I mapped the area the camera was observing manually:

Did something similar. My wife was upset about the flying rats defecating on her flower pots on the terrace. Those birds are stationary (generally) and slow so I managed to iterate a solution that (a) used a 3w green laser mounted on a webc

I'd recommend reading "Barbarians at the gate". It will give you a very good idea. When it comes to levels, those kind of golden parachutes are offered only at top levels. VPs, SVPs, etc. are help and get normal packages when

My bank issues a fido device: a card scanner with a built in camera that reads qr codes. Excellent tool, but for a few years now the bank is actively discouraging its use, touting the benefits of apps instead. It costs them around 60 euro t

Not sure why are you getting the downvotes. Food prep is not rocket science. My wife is a proper foodie, and cooks gourmet food every day - and she is not spending more than 45 mins each day doing this. Thats what she does to unwind after w

There is an all you can eat chain in my area. Its cheap, but they do charge extra for any leftovers - that approach would likely significantly reduce the waste in places such as uni-scale cafeterias.

Displaylink is not a hack. Its commercially supported. You buy a displaylink hub, you can pick up the phone and they will sort out your problems. The same tech is used, for years, to provide multimonitor support for laptops in corporate off

I used a total of three external monitors with the original m1, via a displaylink hub. Saying "m1 does not support it" is not accurate. Its not like a amd 3950x supports any external monitors, does it?..

My wife has one of those things for work. She had to downclock the CPU in order to prevent it from running the fans at full speed for her workflows. After that, it was OK, slow, but at least no longer too loud to have a conversation next to

I'd guess people who used workflows causing their x86 laptops run hot and loud felt very relieved when switching to dead-quiet-yet-quite-fast m1's. I am one of those people. I travel a lot, and using a $5k xeon laptop meant brin

I think the guy was just trolling. Esp that TLB stuff thats quite speculative and if true means memory hopping, write heavy, gpu bound apps can't squeeze all of the fastest, niche version of m1 ultra. I mean, thats just ridiculous. Its

Nah, we cant go with 1.0. Bad for adoption. Since we can push 10Gbps easily, and maybe up to 40Gbps if we try hard, lets call the first version usb "ultraspeed" and let the marketing guys work with that!
