What do you mean? They will pay the fine or the NO courts will extract them; Meta has legal entities with bank presence to charge for ads and (I assume) pay employees in NO.

True but PV+wind make our existing dams go much further - recall most of them operate as giant annual batteries, they refill in the rainy season once per year, then dispense that energy over the dry season. Adding PV means hydro can save mu

Nuclear is dope and we should build tons of it, but it ain’t our only hope; plenty of other alternatives to build at the same time. Eg hydro, overprovisioning solar or wind, transmission to remove local weather variations, coupling wind and

At least in sailing, you can go a lot faster than the wind; I assume the same is true for these blades.

Isn’t this assuming people stay in fixed “compartments” over their lifetime? My experience with social safety nets in EU is that they have been there when I’ve needed them - when I was a poor student, when I was sick — and now that I’m in a

I think the issue is with checked exceptions as a solution to how to declare this signature, or at least with how they are designed in Java: if you add a new exception to the signature, every downstream call site needs to change, recursivel

Maybe this would be in some sort of specialised network appliance, bridging the link into a wired network of some kind, not a general-purpose machine buffering the network data in regular RAM?

I’ve found the opposite FWIW - in many orgs you get rewarded for getting stuff built, and a powerful tool for that is to show product and upper management the tradeoffs of their requests, to counter scope creep. “I can move the team off wha

If you use a “dumber” imperative style framework, the way to find out what code is executed is to go-to-definition of the library code when you call it. With an annotation-based framework, how do you do the same? You could find usages of th

Oh! I'd always imagined it was the combination of the recursive breakdown and the memoization together, but you're right it seems the DP part is just the recursive bit. Thanks for pointing this out.

When I wrote this, almost all my engineering experience was in OSS database development. That environment has several forces pushing towards very detailed reviews and clean commit histories, like others have hinted at in the thread here. Th

I think you would enjoy applying dynamic programming to this problem! I have a simple example, starting from a “generate all possible combinations” python function, here: https://tech.davis-hansson.com/p/price-wars.html

I can’t tell if you are trolling me, but obviously “we made this single-threaded thing multithreaded” implies new algorithms that need new test runs
256.
by jakewins 3y ago
This doesn’t seem to be what was suggested? Using an up-to-date database that has had its distributed mechanisms tested - even if the test was a few versions back - is a lot better than something that uses completely untested bespoke algos.

I was grabbing beer with a buddy who has ran some large - petabytes per month - Kafka deployments, and his experience was very much that Kafka will lose acked writes if not very carefully configured. He had direct experiences with data loss

Haha I had the exact same thought. I still hear that “brrbrbrrrbrre” of the HDD arm frantically trying to deal with the overload of doing anything whatsoever.

I have (had? getting better!) this same issue, and it really killed excitement of electronics for me for a long time. I asked @theacodes on here this same question, on a post they'd written that like.. actually got into "ok, I&#x2

This seems overly harsh - is there not water involved at the plant to drive the steam turbines? That the design of the plant does not directly heat water from sodium is great, but it still is useful to know the plant becomes sensitive to wa

I got stuck in that too, but I think it’s right. No matter how smart you do the hashing, in the end you need to do an equality check, and that has to be O(n). Eg you can’t just do equality on collision, you need to do equality on every loo

But the problem isn't my python environment - the problem is distributing packages, particularly libraries, to downstream users. That one over there uses virtualenvs and a bash script she wrote, that one just ran "pip" and

Johan wrote the original Neo4j implementation as a graph layer on top of Postgres, random trivia. Then Java released NIO, he got excited and tried replacing the PG engine with one built for graphs from scratch.

Poetry seems to solve the dependency spec part, both for libraries that need to ship specs for supported version ranges of dependencies and apps that ship lock files. However: poetry still falls short in managing the python runtime, I am co

Until you need to distribute that project as a library, or you’ve shipped it as an app and now you need all users to upgrade library X or add library Y. Python packaging is fine for small local dev; problems arise in distribution, rollouts

Are there any efforts akin to deno for python? A “burn all the packaging down and start over” path? It’s so thoroughly broken, every day a dev on some team gets their poetry env entangled with some system installed python, or numpy suddenly
