I'd never considered the program itself getting dropped and re-read from disk -- but it makes perfect sense. I'm curious if executing the programs from a ramdisk would achieve the same effect.

I get the point, that with sufficient branding to a target audience, the issue is negated, but I think you're conflating branding for a corporation with branding for niche products. The level of effort put into branding the corporatio

I can certainly agree that some of those descriptions don't fully encompass what you're getting. Some of your points are more picking at the authors choice of simplifying language, rather than the effort to simplify the names the

I've seen it advised to periodically release to production with ASAN/UBSAN/TSAN enabled, with the intention that it's only 1/nth of a deployment, and even then, only deployed for enough time to collect instrumentati

PBR describes an offline render. Online renderers will use the same principles for materials -- modelling them as Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDF), though I'm not really sure how platforms like unreal implement th

It definitely requires a bit of jumping around. The online version is a godsend in this regard, because it's all hyperlinked. It also has an index of all identifiers, which I find quite helpful, and the full source code is available a

I can't recommend this book enough. For anyone looking for a more gentle introduction into ray tracing, I'd also suggest The Ray Tracer Challenge ( http://www.raytracerchallenge.com/ ) -- it walks you through buildi

Please share! And truly, thank you so much for writing the book. I have a physical copy, though I mostly read it online. I've never been an academic, and have struggled in school, so higher mathematics has always been a bit out of my

I for one am happy to know that they're running integration tests at all, so I don't think they have anything to apologize for. It was just an email -- I get many uninvited emails per day. This uninvited email happened to be fro

It's worth noting that the go1 compatibility promise[1] allows for breaking compatibility in the name of security issues: >Security. A security issue in the specification or implementation may come to light whose resolution requires

VC money dries up. Revenue money is self sustaining. From a job stability standpoint, the latter is much more appealing.

I had a really fun time going through the ray tracer challenge recently! It really is an amazing introduction to ray tracing I've since moved on to the pbr book[0] and finding myself getting much more lost in the math. I'm doing

Yes, on both counts. However, requiring zookeeper as a dependency is also a barrier to adoption and increases the operational surface area, so offloading consensus management to zookeeper is not without trade offs.
