Recently, Apple's supplier, Wistron faced revolt after treating workers unfairly here in India. And India is not really the most shining example of protecting our workers from unfair and harsh working conditions. So, if such treatments

Interesting. Is Kubernetes ever used as the orchestrator in HPC workloads, or rather are even containers used there? Also what are some good resources to get better at kubernetes? Currently I am mostly playing with managed k8s like digital

Hmm, makes sense. Does same principles also hold while rendering the movie? The 80/20 rule will be harder to maintain because assets can change frequently and unexpectedly during production. But I guess the need for the data to geograp

For some reason I thought development of strapi was stopped due to lack of funding. Glad to see it well and alive.

I am actually curious about the details, especially the cloud storage. What kind of storage makes sense in this kind of infrastructure ? Is it just regular block volumes being mounted as ext4, or is it something more k8s-ish solution like l

Really enjoyed that. I think I will also really enjoy a longer version that talks a little bit more concretely about the tech stack being used. Also, not sure if the qr code is just prop or not, scanning it didn't work.

Yep. That's another thing that I really liked about the talk too. Its very approachable and shows how fun programming can be, especially since coding can appear a bit dry and mechanical to others.

That's the location/country, if I am not wrong.

For me, it was Art of Code by Dylan Beattie, but mostly because that talk has the best ending[0] I have seen. Also, introduced to me a side of programming that I instinctively knew existed but never sought out. [0]: https://youtu

Because trust has a social aspect to it, along with technical. The tech may exist, but it is going to be quite hard, if not impossible, to explain to an average person how cryptographically verified evidence of the piece of information is b

That's what I hoped to do with the original comment. I didn't want to send them an email for something this trivial and I was just leaving the comment in case anyone from Anandtech stumbled upon it. The typo is not really an issue

by akritrime 6y ago
Honestly I don't mind. I was not commenting on the quality of the post, neither was the typo that much of an issue. I have seen people from Anandtech active in the hackernews and I just this is a good way of reaching them and letting t

Oh I see it. I missed their SPEC2017 page.

I am confused about one thing, in multithreaded scenarios, can an application use 8 threads or 4? Also how does the scheduling work, can I pin a task that I know will be demanding on the firestorm cores?

by akritrime 6y ago
The last sentence on the first page has a typo, I think. I am guessing it would be `tough competition`, not `though competition`.

So I am always curious, are there any laws that makes it mandatory to expose a data dump whenever you come across one or it depends on the goodness of their heart to report it? I guess even if there is a law like that, it would be hard to e

Ah didn't mean it in the sense that it was inevitable because he had Covid, more like it was inevitable since his condition has been deteriorating at a slow but steady pace over the past few weeks since he was hospitalized.

A sad but inevitable day. He was one of the last remnant of a by-gone era in Bengali films, when even a budget-constrained industry like ours gave us works that even today are counted among the greats.

That is interesting. Both Mac Mini versions have a 8 core GPU. I wonder why they made the distinction for Macbook air.
80.
by akritrime 6y ago
So, all of these new Macs have the same SOC across the board? Or will there be slight differences like the Macbook pro will have a higher-binned soc or maybe the Mac mini and Macbook air will have fewer graphics core?

Hmm, if I am understanding correctly, it's not just about changing the runtime model of the eventloop for languages like NodeJs but also we need fundamental change in our hardware interacts with software.

Sounds interesting. Can you point me to some resources that compares the two or how `embedded micropower system` and `interrupt-based approach` works?

If you want to register a company in India, its a convoluted maze of red tapes. While there have been a lot of improvements, the experience still leaves a lot to be desired (anecdotally). And while the govt postal service is exemplary, its

I am not sure how I feel about the government being directly involved in creating the app store. On one hand, I believe the government should take measures to nurture the local startups and app, to give them a fair chance at growing. On the

I believe books and libraries are more important than they ever have been in recent times. Whenever you go and read a book from your library, you librarian doesn't keep a profile of who you are and judges your value based on what books

I am still a bit confused. Will this ID be different from the object id of for accessing the Durable Object, essentially in this case we would be using the Durable Object as a key-value storage? Or is it like the Namespace is separate from

by akritrime 6y ago
Right, that's what I got from the Unique explanation in the doc. What I am confused about is this part: With Durable Objects, you instead design your storage model to match your application's logical data model. For example, a doc

One thing I am not sure, maybe I missed something in the blog but will there be always one instance of this object or can there be multiple?
