It's temporary. The United States and tons of countries have done it before. Central planning helps allocate resources more efficiently in times of crisis.

It's basically impossible to quarantine entire cities in a democracy, especially with an election coming up. I mean, you can , but it's going to cost you so much political capital that you'll be out of the game entirely. And

It reeks of code base problems or general misunderstanding of systems administration. Easier to just make sure you're not leaking memory (profilers exist) and actually monitoring the servers than having to reboot your servers just in c

McDonnell Douglas was dead. It was either closing or being acquired. Being a very important military contractor, it's easy to see why it merged with another similar company.

A 2000s taurus and a 2020 Jetta are about the same size. Cars have gotten a lot larger.

Exactly, this is complete crazy talk by the US goverment and they know they don't have the tools to enforce such a ban. TSMC is part owned by the Taiwanese goverment. The US is literally asking the Taiwanese people to throw away their

The whole point of the preceding paragraph is stating that china is absolutely willing to spill blood over Taiwan. We're asking if the US govt has enough political capital to fight a war against a country with an actual army over lite

You do realize China thinks and claims it owns Taiwan. If Taiwan refused to do business with a Chinese company on behalf of the US, you'd be guaranteed to have the Chinese army there within the week. China-Taiwan relations are nothing

What are they going to threaten TSMC with? Banning it's products? So you kill the smartphone and most of the SoC industry in one fell swoop? TSMC has way more bargaining power than Huawei. The US won't be able to bully it around t

That's the way the system had handled it for ages. Common carriers vs publishers. Tech companies decided that didn't apply to them, and they could have the best of both worlds.

I know you probably agree with me, but supporting an open source project your company's infrastructure depends on has a tangible return (better maintenance on the project). It's just that managers don't see it that way.

Some people? Do you mean everyone who's distro did not change the default value?

Critical infrastructure operated by a single company. That can't ever go wrong, provider redundancy is overrated.

Kotlin is officially supported by Android which is huge, and the fact that IntelliJ dog foods their own product into their most important product also gives a degree of security about its future. Another huge advantage Kotlin has over Scala

So a level 4 cache?

So you don't want records, you want something else. The rest of us who've use kotlin's data classes or similiar features in other languages really like the first two points (the third point I don't mind but I don't

I'm starting to believe it'd be cheaper to just start out the same project with 2 or 3 companies, and then just keep the be st performing one and dump the other two as soon as its clear that one will be finishing the project in ti

The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is that it becomes a necessity. I can no longer code on my laptop to save my life, after running a stacked dual 34" + 29" UW setup.

BTRFS is never going to become stable. Ever. Just take a quick dive into the codebase. Bcachefs has never had an unrecoverable data error AFAIK, even though it isn't even considered stable enough to merge into the kernel. The bcache on

I had never heard of it, but if it is enough of an existential risk to amazon's profit that they pull a huge front page banner about it, I'm excited to try it.

I'm amazed at the fact that more people don't push mostly static or rarely updated data to local sqlite instances or flat files. In my line of work, the goverment distributes a daily file with all those tax ids that can emit tax d

Take a cursory look into both codebases, the stability of the every feature at launch and on maintenance. It's not hard to see BTRFS is a doomed project. Bcachefs is more like PostgreSQL, the developer doesn't add features until h

That's exactly why I said it's probably the only one that will get there.

Bcachefs is probably the only thing that will get there. The codebase is clean and we'll mantained, built from solid technology (bcache) and will include most of the ZFS niceties. I just wish more companies would sponsor de project a

It wouldn't. The trim wheel would work exactly the same from the pilot's perspective. It would only work different internally.

Maybe at ISP scale you can cache a ton of content, so a good chunk of client's inbound payload does not requiring peering, while most of the uploads do.

Wait, why is it worse? It perfectly describes what it is: An Optane (3DXpoint) Persistent Memory Module. Guess the DC stands for DataCenter?
