Jira can do everything but it can't do everything well. As soon as you step off the beaten path with it, and there are many ways of doing that, it becomes a nightmare to use. Managers mess around with workflows and custom fields that i

Yeah going by that graph it appears that ~1.5% of bugs are fixed in 24 hours, ~5% within a week, ~10% within 30 days and only ~13% of bugs are fixed at all. That leaves 87% of bugs still to be resolved. From the graph of total bugs vs time.

The original maths is correct. You have neglected the fact that the 4 failed drives can be any of the 20. Your calculations are for 4 specific drives failing.

Quite correct but usually quantum-entanglement records are for qubits rather than generic atoms. And qubits must be able to be measured in isolation e.g. the polarisation of a single photon can be measured. With superfluid 4He you can'

It's a confusing quote. They have achieved 18 qubits from 6 photons. But 18 qubits can store more information than 18 regular bits however when the 6 photon system is measured the quantum state collapses to 18 bits of data. How do you

Superfluid 4He is quantum-entangled and non-local effects are observable. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170321110344.h...

I understand the core concept of quantum radar but does it actually work in practice as a radar? i.e. you can resolve targets with a small range and angular resolution.

I'd say there isn't enough detail in this video to say. Munro said 30% net profit but I think he meant to say gross profit. Costings may have been based on like for like labor costs but in reality labor costs are highly variable w

The 3D nature of the output is still generated using tomography (CT). The colour comes from the x-ray energy which is detected using two thresholds giving effectively two channels of data.

Tax reduced savings accounts effectively flatten the tax curve because whilst they are available to everyone only those being paid more can effectively make use of them. On the other hand it does incentivice the higher paid to save more for

You could also see it as limiting (and controlling) the production of plant maintenance work. For an example of why this is anti-competitive imagine there are 4 producers A, B, C and D. A, B and C agree that they will co-ordinate shutdowns

Its a slightly grey area. This would be seen as illegal because it is an "agreement" to "limit or control production" which is prohibited by EU law article 101(1). However article 101(3) allows these agreements if it &qu

Smart contracts don't work because they require all the funds to be held in escrow. So if I see the need to release $50 million then I need to hold that in escrow and during that time I can't use the capital for other purposes.

The new CEO had previously been CFO since 2014. If his actions turned an unsalable company into a company that could be sold for $465 million then I'd say he's probably worth the $11 million. And the founding CEO surely drew a rea

XDP can be offloaded to the NIC [1]. This is what I took the quote "the userspace loader, which loads the code onto the right network card and manages it" to mean. But I think you might be right in this case, it seems more likely

by barbegal 8y ago
"With XDP we can drop 10 million packets per second on a single CPU." is not really correct, the packets are being dropped on the network card which has its own processor. The packets never get transferred to the main CPU.

Isn't this due to inflation? A couple of percent decrease in the value of the dollar makes a huge number of new millionaires.
