Their business-focused monitors are also good. (Though, the grumpy part of me thinks that perhaps it's worth avoiding everything they make because their printer scheme is so evil.)

Mihai was absolutely brilliant but better to emulate in intellect than interpersonal skills. ;) Thanks for sharing your article - I enjoyed reading it! The number of stunningly capable CS colleagues I know who came out of Romania is impress

Hadoop didn't come from Google, it came from more like Yahoo, who wanted an open source clone of Google's mapreduce framework. (Yahoo was paying Doug's salary, at least). MapReduce was deprecated inside Google several years a

No - anaerobic digestion produces more methane; aerobic digestion (lots of air mixed in) favors more CO2 and less methane. Typically, if you have a deliberately anaerobic industrial composting operation, you capture the methane and produce

Somewhat related, I recently wanted to fix a slow nfs problem (1 server, 1 client -- basically, a file server and a machine with some GPUs). It turns out that used previous generation mellanox 100gig NICs are quite cheap now, and you can di

Yup, absolutely. Places with high energy costs due to being geographically isolated / without a lot of local energy resources have always struck me as some of the best initial places for solar+battery.

This was a little buried, so surfacing some #s that seemed interesting to put this in perspective: - 565 MWh of storage capacity - 185 MW of instantaneous power delivery capacity - $219M of financing for the project Hawaii's residentia

"NC legislature accidentally endorses Mullvad VPN" could be a parallel article to this one. It would be interesting if someone analyzed the growth in VPN use following the enactment of this law.

Seconded. I learned about these here a few years ago and have gone through two packages of them. The ability to dim for things you still want to kind of see is very nice, and as another person noted, the pre-cut shapes are more attractive.

I'm glad you noted programmers; as a computer science researcher, my reaction was the same as yours. I don't think I ever used a CDF for data analysis until grad school (even with having had stats as a dual bio/cs undergrad).

Yes when accounting for size. If you wanted something that was the size of a refrigerator, you could buy a data general Nova in 1969: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_General_Nova 8KB of RAM! But hundreds of pounds

A lot slower - roughly 100x - because most of these benchmarks measure FLOPS and the rp2040 doesn't have native floating point, so it has to emulate it, taking it down to 1-3 MFLOPS vs the 160 MFLOPS of the cray-1. If you compared inte

No, what you're seeing is the lower end of visible light that's also emitted by the uv lamps. They're emitting a lot below 400nm that doesn't pass through your lens. Unless you've had surgery that removes or thins y

A penny costs 2.7 cents to make. We make almost 8 billion of them per year. That's $216 million per year for a money-losing nearly-useless coin. so, it costs you about a buck per year.

Well, let's see - because I wanted to have children, and I didn't know who my biological father was, so I wanted to understand if my wife and I were likely to carry any of the same dangerous recessive genes? And I wanted to know i

There's an important difference between an opaque "trust us" recommendation where it's broadly impossible to verify the claim (e.g., Dual_EC_DRBG), and one such as this which is fairly anodyne and merely intended to put

Not really. Imagine the proof says: "in this protocol, when there are more than 0 participants, exactly one participant holds the lock at any time" It might be wrong, but it's pretty easy to inspect and has a much higher chan

My climbing gym uses unifi, as one example. (I noticed it because I use them at home). Seems like a pretty reasonable choice for a small business.

The picker that opens in Firefox on Android is quite terrible, fwiw. Chrome on android has a good one.

To build on this a little - M7 involves climbing a mix of ice and rock, but instead of using conventional fingers and rubber-soled climbing shoes, you'd do the rock-only parts by "dry-tooling" - using your ice axe and crampon

Ah, that's a nice observation about zero, that would have saved me some typing. :-) I did the same thing with my actual solution in terms of order (but I went 0, 1, 2, 3), but mostly so I could truncate the matching array to solve part

It's kind of awkward with that one, because you still have to check the individual patterns; it doesn't give you a multi-match on each pattern. With the Aho-Corasick implementation you can just map the string -> {ordered list o

You might try BurntSushi's aho-corasick crate. It led to a fairly nice solution in Rust for this one. (It will report overlapping matches)

I drove a rented SUV a few weeks ago (GMC Acadia Denali) that had quite shocking acceleration -- 310 horsepower or so -- and the handling of a dead fish. It was kind of scary, and overall a really unpleasant experience. I don't underst

I've been playing BG3 on an m1 Mac mini and it's surprisingly good. I haven't bothered loading it on my big-GPU gaming PC to compare, but that alone says something. (I'm in no way a serious gamer, so there may be plenty

Defending yourself against several lawsuits can be extremely expensive, not to mention time consuming. While the board members are almost certainly covered by the company's D&O insurance (unless they're not, which would be a r
