Ah, the bit about it only lasting for the lifetime of the connection was the part I missed. That makes a lot of sense. As does the bit about the state staying on the server side. Thanks for the explanation!

What's going on under the hood with that authentication example? Is the server holding onto some state in memory that this specific client has already authenticated? Or is the API key somehow stored in the new AuthenticatedSession stub

Nothing about the title seems like an English grammatical mistake to me. In fact, that's how I would say it. Seems like "still" is an adverb modifying "doesn't". Replacing it with another adverb, like "cle

I discovered these as a child by just combing through the Ubuntu package repositories looking for games. These days, I play the Android port all the time. It's my go-to to occupy my time on short flights.

In our case, we often have complex decision trees to diagnose issues before we get into the ops. Our playbooks are very thorough with details about all of these debugging techniques. You can never completely automate the debugging step: it

Insinuating that my playbooks are bad or any other kind of incompetence without actually knowing anything about my service is simply being an asshole.

The incompatible syntax of fish makes it a no go for me. As an SRE, at my day job I often need to copy/paste commands that are generated from a playbook. Our playbooks use Bash, and in practice Zsh is compatible. But a co-worker using

I said what I said above not as a genuinely held belief (I doubt Nvidia had any involvement in this editorialization), but as a rhetorical effect. There are many reasons why the editorialized-title rule exists. One of the most important rea

You should read more about Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Game Theory in general. The word "solve" is well defined in this context, and is used accurately by OP. You "solve" a game by finding the policy that maximi

One of my many probably-going-nowhere hobby projects is a modern Prolog. I think the module system especially is a place where we need innovation. I'd like to see someone do for Prolog what Clojure did for Lisp.

MKL is usually what you want if you are doing matrix math on an Intel CPU. A better design is to make it easy you to choose or hotswap your BLAS/LAPACK implementation. E.g. OpenBLAS for AMD. Edit: To be clear, Netlib (the reference imp

XLA (Accelerated Linear Algebra) [1] is likely the library that you'll want to use to code for these machines. TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Jax all support XLA on the backend. [1]: https://openxla.org/
