No, the displays don't need a Thunderbolt controller (and I do get 3 separate displays - mirroring would be pretty useless, I agree). I use this dock: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Thunderbolt-Dock-40AC... Aft

I don't know, the flipside is that Thunderbolt delivers genuinely cutting-edge interconnect capabilities. I can run two 4K60 displays and a dozen peripheral devices, and charge my laptop, all via a single cable off of my $100 Thunderbo

Question about single front chainrings... doesn't that decrease the clearance under the rear derailleur? I just looked at some of those new models and the derailleur droops scary low. I can see it getting banged up on rocks/rut wa

This is a really interesting question that gets at the heart of service federation. I don't know the answer for Zanzibar, but take a look at how AWS IAM solves it. IAM has very few strong opinions in its model of the world (essentially

The huge benefit comes in when your project involves loading large datasets or talking to cloud APIs. Both cases can be a non-starter on a local Mac (no local disk space, no bandwidth, or the latency overhead of a 100 ms RTT vs. 5 ms RTT ad

No, when copying objects between buckets (aws s3 cp s3://... s3://... and the corresponding sync command), the AWS CLI uses CopyObject ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_C

I'm not aware of a supported API in the AWS Go SDK for this, but there is a sketch here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/tree/main/example/service/...

Yes, you would. The CPU and memory overhead of multiprocessing for this application is why we ended up migrating away from boto3 and to the AWS Go SDK for this specific purpose ( https://github.com/chanzuckerberg/s3parcp

Have you benchmarked this solution on a high bandwidth connection? If so, what's the max throughput that it achieved?

Aside from what the other replies mentioned, one of the network bottlenecks that you're referring to is the per-TCP connection packet rate limit and congestion avoidance artifacts that many networks impose. The S3 frontend node that se

The AWS Go SDK now has a connection pool based S3 download/upload manager API that allows saturating your (e.g. 40Gbit/s EC2-S3) network connection using far less memory and CPU than is possible with Python. A colleague of mine de

I am really fascinated by the failure of Borders and the continued decline of Barnes & Noble. I'm not an expert but it feels like they really overextended themselves, diluted their focus and like you said, failed to leverage their

I am not a fan of Elon's more exotic behaviors but I think Tesla is as committed to excellence in manufacturing as Toyota or Honda. They are just at an earlier growth stage where they have to stand up processes from scratch. Toyota and

I don't think YAML is going anywhere, largely because it was the first format to prioritize readability and conciseness, and has used that advantage to achieve critical mass. It's far more productive to push for incremental change

I seem to not have communicated my point very clearly. Diesel particulate pollution kills very significant numbers of people, and it kills poor people (who have to live next to the freeway and on urban thoroughfares) disproportionately. I d

If I were a CISO solving this problem today, I would just use TOTP instead of U2F, and store the secret in two places. Longer term I expect AWS will add this capability.

Those kinds of fanciful things are not commonly in threat models because they don't happen. The threat models address things that are likely to happen, which are all variations of someone's device getting compromised.

My stance is that diesels should only be permitted if they satisfy the EPA 2008 diesel PM standards or better. No older engines should be permitted unless they are retrofitted to comply with the standard and pass regular state tests. We cou

I used to live next to a freeway and I know the true cost of dirty diesel engines. Get on any US freeway and you'll notice that while a majority of diesels are fine, there is a minority that is belching soot any time the driver steps o

This is precisely what I'm trying to illustrate. No, Excel does not have the same accessibility as a calculator UI. Excel is somewhere in between a calculator UI and bc in terms of how discoverable and usable it is. Engineers fall into

The UX of a REPL sucks if you're not an expert. A calculator UI gives you a lot more guidance about what's available. Accessibility is everything. I would guess the skeuomorphic calculator apps have 5 orders of magnitude more user

I agree. In my experience, most back injuries are the result of insufficient core strength, insufficient stretching, or insufficient cross-training. The chair and posture has a lot less impact than stretching my back, wrists, and doing some
