I agree with the skepticism behind your question. I’ve used both at different firms heavily over the years. I’ll believe it when I see it. What about MySQL’s local @ variables… is that supported in Postgres? I guess they do say they will su

The demand for perfection is mildly ameliorated by having a few redundant circuits and microcode and then a software layer that can detect and workaround defects. If your GPU loses one if its 1000 integer math units, it doesn’t die, it just

I agree. You might appreciate my elaboration on the SGI specifics of this elsewhere on this thread.

Your analysis except for your first sentence is good. But it is not true that SGI failed to understand there was a point where desktop PCs would be good enough to replace dedicated workstations. They had built a $3500 PC graphics card (Iri

Regarding Altman’s quote: “As we have learned, scientific advancement eventually happens if the laws of physics do not prevent it.” The article author says: “Have we learned that? I see no evidence to suggest that anything that can be inven

The article/analysis seems a bit alarmist to me too. It suggests Houston is way behind in paving roads and has unsustainable long term liabilities. Ok, maybe. But last month called 311 and asked them to pave a pothole on a busy city st

I am not a lawyer but I have seen startups distort/rationalize legal language as their tech services evolve to grandfather new situations into old language. I don’t know if vultr language is worse than others, but my concern would be t

Ran into this myself about 10 days ago. If a TLS handshake is aborted partway through, Wireshark will label it “TLSv1”. It actually retroactively labels the 1.0 TLS packets as 1.3 after a successful TLS 1.3 handshake finishes. This makes se

Based on your Hello World app (TypeScript only seemingly), the mental model for writing apps on DBOS involves OO classes, async/await, annotations, and lots of punctuation. Any plans to support app development via using SQL? There are
