I dunno, where was your cruise and were there lots of mainland Chinese people on it? Sadly the symptoms for CoVid-19 are pretty common across a variety of diseases, so “flu-like but not flu” doesn’t necessarily point to this. At that time d

Interesting! I hadn't heard of HSLuv. The original writeup / blog post [1] seems more informative though on "why" (hsluv.org is not a very interesting landing page). I'm a little sad (disclosure: co-author) that we

Like everyone here, “Yes, the history is super useful”. So, I’m curious about fixing the actual problem. What happened in the CVS => SVN migration? You don’t have 30-years of SVN history. Do you have an SVN mirror / backup for which

Vlado mentioned at SIGGRAPH, that they basically gave up and has gone from OpenCL => CUDA => "let OptiX handle it" => "OptiX7 w/ RTX". Do you have a CUDA and/or RTX comparison? P.S. It's awesome y

I do think that on a personal level, it was probably just more hand washing, the masks to prevent droplets and so on (that is, both groups could have done so, but the infectious disease experts are more likely to do so with every interactio

They are not the only manufacturer. From the article: > Prestige Ameritech, the largest full-line domestic surgical mask manufacturer, was producing 600,000 masks each day but struggling to meet demand. Even if it’s true that they’re t

> A single context switch is in the range of 100K-1M CPU cycles. 1M cycles is roughly 300 microseconds (assume 3 GHz processor, so 3 cycles is 1 nanosecond). Eli’s graph from the post I referenced above, has a context switch in the 1-3 m

I find Eli Bendersky’s writeup [1] more useful as it actually goes closer to the details. For readers less familiar, it also makes it more clear what the time spent will depend on (how much state there is to copy). Eli’s post is actually a

This sadly isn’t true. Nearly all trip cancellation insurance excludes epidemics and pandemics. You need instead “cancel for any reason” insurance, which you can only acquire about 2-3 weeks after your first purchase. Now, if the event is c

Clearly HIMSS attendees should be prepared with proper contagion defenses, like excellent hand washing and masks for airborne pathogens :).

Glad you found a workaround, but please file a support ticket for this. If you don’t have support: (a) consider it and/or (b) send me an email with your info (contact in profile) and I’ll file a bug.

Disclosure: I work for Google Cloud (and on preemptible VMs). There isn’t anything about preemptible to “cause networking issues”. We may have had a general networking outage, if that’s what you experienced, but we don’t additionally make n

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. This has come up a few times, so I wanted to reiterate that these are the Zen2/Rome parts not the first generation “Naples” parts. We didn’t bother launching Naples for GCE, because (as you can see)

Not implemented yet. In the stack rank of “stuff needed to update our hypervisor for AMD again” it wasn’t at the top :). Note the again as well: GCE originally had it such that N in N1 meant iNtel, and A1 was for AMD (as Joe said publicly

The blocker here would be the need for supporting nested on AMD parts (as E2 can choose between Intel and AMD parts).

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. Sorry for the confusion. We should be more clear and explicitly state "now rolling out". Over the course of our multi-day rollout, different regions and the console will start showing these.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. Should be, once the rollouts complete. So once you can see N2D types in the Console for your project, I think it'll just flow naturally to GKE.

We do not yet support AMD's nested implementation (we do on Intel). But cvallejo is also the PM for Nested :). As for 224, we've always reserved threads on each host for I/O and so on. Figure 2 from the Snap paper [1] is

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. Performance is a tricky, multi-dimensional thing, so there are many benchmarks that try to map to different workloads. For example, specint is often used for exactly your "single threaded task"

The Wikipedia article [1] is to the point here, and even explains why they went away: the introduction of radio meant that a one-off printing for news didn’t make sense as everyone heard it on the radio. [1] https://en.m.wikipedi

Interesting! I’m curious why people never moved to say Quark XPress then, but presumably it was “Hancom makes us this super custom thing, and it’s way cheaper than any desktop publishing software”. Is there a lot of diversity in the types o

Since you’re here, can you explain what’s special about the Hancom/Hangul office software? The Wikipedia articles all just say things like “specialized support” or “special needs”. I would have assumed that the key requirement is Hangu

How fast is an incremental rebuild with webpack though? That esbuild finishes from scratch in .5s (though probably with the code previously loaded from disk) means it’ll still likely be the fastest. Posters up thread claim that minifying is

I think you may have misunderstood: each “go build” incantation lets you produce a single OS/arch binary, not a “fat binary”. So you make a build per OS/arch pair and distribute it.

Thanks for the background! Why did you two choose to make it the sum of the two scores (so L1 distance) rather than L-inf/max? It seems to me that you'd want to have the minimum value be a 1, representing someone who co-authored a
