funny story, my elementary school was across the playground from this place, but moved out of that location the summer before the virus leak.

Chris McCord, quoted in the article, explains extremely well the absurd state of stateless http requests, from a perspective that is not appreciated in the article (queued to 40m50s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhNv1ikZ

for liveview, it's not at all about "fat servers"; the overhead of maintaining a socket over erlang is not that much (maybe a few K -- the base erlang process overhead is ~400 words), so you're going to almost certainly

What's your threshold for novelness? We can't truly know just how novel covid-19 is; we don't have sequences from the database of coronaviruses, and even if we did it might have leaked right after it was collected, without ha

I think you mean wet market theory. This is true, but at least there was a "high bayesian prior" due to that being how it happened in the past. Nonetheless the wet market proponents were irresponsibly aggressive in their forcefu

You could say that but, based on some revealed communications it also feels (we can never truly know what was in their heads) like there was a concerted effort by denouncers of the lab leak theory to conflate lab leaks with purposeful lea

I think classical silicon also got exponential because getting better silicon meant better EDA tools.

I take it she's also not watching the ones where the space robots jump into the air at azimuth 90, disengage their ailerons to get out of the atmosphere, then travel several parsecs in an femtosecond with their boson drive?

I'm pretty sure that in most of my science classes (biochemistry/biology), outside of advanced grad-level organic synthesis, which then had a "fighter pilot jock"-vibe, the gender ratio was 50/50 if not more female

yep. You get paid higher if: - you go straight out of undergrad to industry - you only do a masters - you "drop out" after a masters - you are sponsored by industry to take a 5-6 year "sabbatical" to get a PhD (which is

this is exactly also true for grad students in the physical and biological sciences.

When you are comparing across different fusion techniques, which we implicitly are in our brains (because we are not sophisticated plasma physicists and not every strategy right now is magnetic confinement), Q_engineering is important to th

I'm conforming to the authors definition, as you present it. Under these criteria, Sinatra is categorically closer to rails than a Jason library. What might an http server library look like? It would have a function that blocks on a

You could have phrased it: "how does SpaceX review...?"

look, "all" is meaningless. What constitutes "most" is a matter of judgement. Sinatra does guide you in your code organization a hell of a lot more than something like, "a json parser library".

I actually had a quick chat with my teammate today. 5 minutes (well we chatted about dumb shit like changing oil on our cars for another 5). Also it wasn't bad, I was checking in to make sure his career objectives were being looked a

Sinatra is a framework, it's very light in that it doesn't dictate where you put your files in directories (but neither does, say Phoenix, which is definitely a framework). In sinatra, the system calls into the functions you writ

I'd like to add this: - There's the possibility you will do something very wrong if you roll your own from libraries For example, HTTP serving frameworks are popular because the HTTP protocol is complicated , not to mention best

What science denialism? I had a previous life as a working PhD in the life sciences. Honestly the crazy thing to me is just how much the mainstream discourse/policy on covid is itself science denial.

I ran into a similar problem with docker on the same problem in zig; podman and on-metal had no performance regression but docker did. I kind of gave the fuck up on the plummer's sieve shootout at that point because (of this and other

Or if they're so mild you don't think you have a cold, you might go out and spread it more. This would be a genius evolutionary play by the virus -- have such mild symptoms that most healthy people don't even know they have
