Not saying it will happen (just that it usually does), but I almost never see acquired companies immediately turn into the parent. Usually the acquired maintains its course until attrition and cross-pollination replace its original culture

There is a great difference between in-transit encryption and at-rest encryption. The former is not really comparable, as the existence of the email at rest will forever be vulnerable, in contrast to the time of transmission. A window of se

People keep bringing up this problem because it's still a problem. If it's so easy to solve, why is it not solved? Cities should simply impound any scooter not properly parked and charge $200 to get it back. Since solving the park

Huh. I personally have never treated the word computer as a synonym of CPU, APU, GPU, Turing Machine, etc. To me this article reads more like, "I want to redefine what computer means and then tell you all of the things that fall under

Why would that be disturbing? Electronics and organisms do not have identical environmental tolerances/intolerances. Presumably, the sensors exist to protect humans, not electronics.

My TCO for my 2003 Toyota Sequoia has been $70 a month. I paid $8,000 for it 3 years ago and have paid $500 in maintenance (standard scheduled maintenance plus $60 in repairs). I pay $23 dollars a month for liability insurance. Depreciation

It's not about whether or not people _should_, it's just that our debt-driven society encourages it. Almost everyone these days seems to get a loan so that they can buy a vehicle they don't have the money for. This is one soc

The author actually has to clarify what they meant in the paper, as RAM carries state as well. > state-carrying (persistence-carrying) So what would be more accurate, I think, is "Persistence considered harmful". https:/&

Essentially, then, expressiveness (language complexity for the sake of flexibility), beats ease of learning or "one right way to do things".

By gaming benchmarks, I mean falsifying results. Burst performance is the normal optimization for all CPUs and GPUs.

Are you implying that short burst performance is for gaming benchmarks?

The vacuum was filled, thanks to them. Now, an official solution is being presented. Why is there a problem?

I agree that managing complex workflows, or really any situation involving a lot of contributors/branches/activity may send you running to your nearest search engine with regularity. That being said, for GP's use, they can w

Suicide is deliberate. Any unfortunate death due to overcrowding attributed to suicide is simply false. There is no evidence of intentional death or racing towards a cliff, merely that when faced with no other apparent route of escape, they

Many of the issues I've had with German vehicles were not related to the ICE. These are the issues I faced in 100k miles of German car ownership: Window motor, Parasitic draw, Blower motor, Headlight ballast, Wheel bearing,

Which Gitlab? The software is less important than the ecosystem. Git is the major component, but Github/Gitlab are about usefully centralizing it. Gitlab is still a centralized service, even if there are N instances of centralization.

Do you have any screen recording/sharing software? This seems odd, so I'm wondering if there is a webcam driver installed that actually feeds your video output.

Could you link to the k8s docs that does each of those? Not trying to be snide, but so far I haven't found k8s to be much more than primitives with which to build those things. I've also only begun working with it recently, so I d

Is it really competition if one of the competitors doesn't need to be profitable? How do you compete with that?

I think the use of monolithic here is that CockroachDB is higher level than FoundationDB. The project was not designed to be your do-everything-DB that you layer different systems on, but has a specific goal and is intended to be used direc

This _is_ the usual trade off, but what makes FoundationDB so crazy is that it's a CP system that has a performance profile that AP systems would have a hard time matching.

The $300 add-on unit I have does self-cleaning after every use. When the sprayer retracts, it again sprays, but since there is now plastic directly above it, it cleans off the sprayer head on the rebound.

> The thing I don't like on this front for Go is the whole "dependencies on Github" thing. Agreed. I really dislike the GOPATH concept that the original tooling is built around, but I strictly make use of vendoring.

I also recommend avoiding unnecessary libs/frameworks for any code that you expect to run for a long time without change. I do this at work when writing small services in Go and it works out well. Some have been running for three years

Yes, sorry, that is what I meant by "corporate elite". I'm not so sure it applies in this case as I don't really see the corp in question as being big (relatively speaking). To your point, this is basically what the book
