   Funny enough I recently wrote my own hack using this linker feature in C, to implement an array of static counter definitions that can be declared anywhere and then written out (e.g., to prometheus) in one place. Note that as I later found

   It's a solution to the problem: given a list of n-1 unique integers 1 through n, find the missing integer. The trick is that when you xor all of the numbers in the list together and then xor that with the xor of 1 through n, the result

   The article is about life insurance, not health insurance (I should have made it clear I was talking about health insurance).

   I think they're saying it's top heavy. There are some people (rich whales) that buy lots of games and don't play them, while most people on steam are playing the (numerically fewer) games that they buy.

   I realize this is a fraught question, because not everyone is overweight by choice (whether due to a subsisting on whatever they can afford, time, genetics, injury, etc,.) but I believe that insurers are able to consider whether someone smo

   Wouldn't you need to then commit to remove the entries from the temp table?

    I'd argue in some ways it's a triangle, with RAW vs RAI being the third point. Someone can minmax either under RAW/taken to the extreme, or under RAI or they can do silly things under RAI or RAW/home brewed.

    Wow, a 45% tax starting at 60k is kinda unreal.

    I wonder if you could make a frankenstein version of differential datalog by combing the OP repo with salsa[1] (the crate that powers rust-analyzer) [1] https://github.com/salsa-rs/salsa

    I'm not sure, but it clearly wasn't sufficient if it does. I guess the issue here is if you're crash looping, once the task comes up it will generate load retrying to get the config, so even if you're no longer crash loo

    Generally, even these emergency changes are done not entirely immediately to prevent a fix from making things worse. This is an operational choice though, not a technical limitation. My guess being involved in similar issues in the past is

    My reading is that this is on start up. E.g., some config needs to be read when tasks come up. It's easy to have backoff in your normal API path, but miss it in all the other places your code talks to services.

    I think this was probably specific to the quota checks.

    Isn't RCS basically just instant messaging? I don't know why it's surprising that it would be down.

    Similar in concept, I think the idea is that it would be used as an application coprocessor though, as opposed to the main processor, and obviously a lot more threads. I don't remember all the details, but picture a bunch of those atta

    I've rea confidential proposals for chips with very high available memory bandwidth, but otherwise reduced performance compared to a standard general purpose CPU. Something somewhere between a CPU and a GPU, that could handle many para

    I think the titanium on the outside in the slag is the easy part, and not included in the 1% figure, which is on the inside.

    I'm not sure if it makes it easier, but there are some differences between the high oxygen titanium alloy and titanium with some yttrium in it that might make it easier to separate? Presumably when you melt the titanium the yttrium doe

    The alternative proposal sounds much nicer, but unfortunately was paused due to concerns about devices not being able to support it. I guess once this is added maybe the proposed device opt in mechanism could be used for applications to coo

    I think it was open sourced after the fact, so probably the repo docs etc isn't super polished.

    There's probably a benefit to being able to choose which you want in different places though, right?
