The classic example of a changing workload is a database which has a normal workload that maybe resembles a zipf or bell distribution but then someone runs exports which do full scans over large parts of the DB. These changes in workloads c

I can't agree with that. More sophisticated algorithms don't necessarily have to make things worse. In fact I think the opposite is true. Simple algorithms are the ones most likely to fail catastrophically because they are made fo

Ok I see where the difference is now. You are clearing the hit bit for all items marked as hit on a single eviction. I mean yes I guess that means that during the following request you don't have to check all items in the queue but now

It might not happen only once in a while. Consider the following pattern in which a Fetch() does a Get and then an Insert on cach-miss: Fetch("1"); Fetch("1"); Fetch("2"); Fetch("2"); Fetch(&quot

I think we are not talking about the same thing. LRU needs to access/modify the tail and head of the queue once per request for both Get and Insert. Your algorithm on the other hand does not need to modify the order of the queue on a G

It looks like your lazy promotion algorithm is O(n). If you get a particularily unlucky request pattern you'll be walking the whole list to know which item to evict. I don't think the claim that this LP FIFO method is always less

I'm sorry for the negativity but the design is awful for a dashboard. Weird distracting animations (graphs wiggle on hover), the lines are janky due to the cartoonish draw style. No clearly visible separations between the stats and an

I just had a brief read of the protocol but my understanding is yes, there is nothing like onion routing or similar that could disguise to a peer that is serving the data that the requester is indeed the one who is interested in it.

Seems like it took IMDB with it. Surprised that Amazon is not able to keep their own property up when one of their zones goes down. Not a great example.

I am sure there are examples where JPEG XL outperforms AVIF. But looking through all those images in the test sample I get the impression that AVIF on average in the lowest quality setting is significantly better than JPEG XL. I agree that

Interestingly in the latest FF on Linux for some reason for me the colors are washed out for AVIF and JPEGXL but not the other formats. Looking fine in Chromium though. When zooming in 3x I can say that AVIF looks significantly better than

I think it would be great if the homepage could have a prominent link to the documentation as it wasn't obvious to me where to find it. I followed the link to Github which in the readme has a howto for building the project and there is

Is there something noteworthy about this specific incident? Faults of this magnitude are unfortunately relatively common. For example earlier this month there was a 6.2 quake not far from this one on the coast of the other side of Japan. I

I really hope Linux can get a modern FS into common usage (as in default FS for most distros). After more than a decade ZFS and BTRFS didn't go anywhere. Something that's just there as a default, is stable, performs decently (at l

I guess even a psychopath might leave a tip at a restaurant. Things rarely are 100% bad but those nuances should also not distract from the big picture.

It's totally fair for employees to ask for more salary or leave especially if the company is raking in high profits but I think it's absurd to have a tipping system in an Apple retail shop. Maybe maybe I could make sense of a tip

It's probably very hard to shrink further than a very low number of atoms but we're far from that. The "2nm" marketing name has no relation to the actual physical size of the transistors. The physical features of the &qu

According to some reports it might be both. N3 (aka N3B) for A17 and N3E for M3. N3E is probably too late to produce the numbers needed for the A17 which should hit the market in September.

Taiwan made the foundry business a strategic priority for multiple reasons. Intel at least for the US was always a business with national security impact. Europe never realized the importance and didn't make it anywhere near priority.

Yes but what a reader unfamiliar with the server auction at Hetzner should know is that there is very limited supply (and sometimes none) plus it's outdated hardware. At this very moment I see 9 servers with 1080 priced between 105 and

Hetzner at some point used to offer dedicated servers with GPUs like a nVidia 1080 but stopped offering these because there was a lot of fraud and abuse involving crypto miners. With all the AI hype I'd assume they'll try to offer

Great news. I'd like to see how a vCPU compares between arm64 and amd64 but not sure how to best go about it. I've created VMs for both with 4 vCPU and will run the phoronix benchmark suite. After that I'll probably try 16 ar
