Clustering file requests into batches over time based debounced windows also seems like a good option. I wrote this kind of batching reverse proxy before for HTTP requests.

There's a lot of assumptions in this comment: - That people are only employed at FANG - That outside of cryptocurrencies, people only work on enterprise software and widgets - That blockchain has the only difficult distributed systems

What was some of the interesting technical CS challenges you had to face in doing so? I have no interest in blockchain or adjacent tech because I don't see any technical challenges worth solving, so I'd be interested in learning i

It's not public. I don't really open source most of the tools I write for myself because there's basically no incentive to do so.

re:ydotool. More than risks, I would say the author constantly changing things without testing and breaking the tool is what made me stop using it. I wrote my own version using evdev and never looked back.

Even if something like frozen desserts used the same amount of energy as NFTs, it's still not a good light for NFTs considering those frozen desserts probably support a large number of jobs, infrastructure, and at the very least some k

I don't understand the point of this comment. It's almost schizophrenic in nature. Are you advocating for wasting energy by saying that wasting energy is fine because it's done in other places but not criticized?

This is definitely the funniest thing I've read this week.

Why would you bother training neural nets? They already found a solution that can be computed in literally 0 cpu time that works for >90% of the cases (their theoretical model was an above average active player moving 5 times in a second

People born of the highschool age have had access to computer at least 10 times more powerful than when I was the same age, and with a lot more material on the internet and a more mature field as a whole. It would be stupid to feel bad by c

Then consider it a spectrum with Really Care on one end and Just A Job on the other. I don't think it takes away from the original point.

Storing small blobs is a use case where SQLite often excels. By small, I mean in the range of <400kB. That is, if those are usually write-once, read-only. I can't remember the paper right now, but one of the results was that if you

I appreciate the thoroughness with which you are pursuing this. The amount of work you're doing outside of the technical aspect is definitely something I can admit that I would've never pursued. It's encouraging to see.

I had the exact same experience/realization. It's very easy to get focused on work and stop paying attention to the irritation one is putting their body in. I have two examples. Recently, I noticed that my neck posture was startin

"rather novel paradigm" is where you lost me. TempleOS's integration with HolyC is more featureful than anything you've proposed and it was completed a few decades ago. The idea was surely older than that, too. I'm

I like the idea, but not the approach.

Since this is going to get some attention and might attract some welcome naysayers, it might be a good time for me to ask for resources if I do want to use Kafka, specifically edge cases that I won't see as a newcomer until I actually

I've been planning to do this, but enterprise hardware seems like it requires a completely different set of knowledge on how to purchase it and maintain it, and especially as a consumer. It's not quite as trivial of a barrier to e

When I bought a bunch of NVME drives, I was disappointed with how slow the maximum speed I could achieve with them was given my knowledge and available time at the time. Thanks for making this post to give me more points of insight into the

Sway has other problems, like null pointer crashes, crashing based on weird layout bugs. I'm still suffering from a bug which makes the clipboard on Firefox just hang, perpetually. This is Firefox with the wayland backend enabled, whic

You must not be familiar with several exchanges including Coinbase doing this exact thing a few years ago. Cryptocurrencies still have to go through an exchange, usually.

I think that most experienced open source maintainers would probably understand this approach, and it's definitely something I've considered making explicit rather than implicit. I don't find rejecting people too difficult or

Why would trying to create a process for theoretical onboarding of members be less work than actually onboarding someone? I disagree. Leave the consideration of onboarding someone until you need it, and then focus on just that for the month

I've been plenty productive in C, as are a multitude of people who would pick type safety over the lack of it.

I had the same bug and it irritated me to no end too. I was about to make my own custom controller when I found out that they made a version 2 which fixed the issues. I have 2 of the version 2 and have been using it for a few years now with

Yeah this is what I was going to say. There are a few projects which allow one to swap out the firmware for a custom one on Advantage Kinesis keyboards. There's one with a teensy, one with a custom controller. It's not exactly tri
