The original flight sim team was disbanded in 2009 during the recession. They’ve since moved on to different companies.

Toronto already has a steam system that goes through the downtown core. It’s not that far to pipe some of it to the surface.

Many towns have found that heated sidewalks actually save money vs snow removal (when lawsuits from slips and falls are included). The main problem with it is public perception its a wasteful luxury item instead of the money saver it is. &

Given the assets they have - the interest alone out to be enough cash to employ their devs. ZCash doesn't throw off interest directly but wall street is pretty creative at turning assets into cash flow.

Shareholders don't expect to keep getting additional shares as time goes on. The point is you increase the value of each share by improving the company (or in this case the currency). They already have substantial ownership in the cu

I would be really curious how they stopped ne'er-do-wells from damaging the plants intentionally.

You aren’t supposed to tell people that! Also it rains and is dreary all winter there.

As a maintainer of KeyDB I think there is some truth to this in the form of naive get/set queries. More of the processing should be done server side to avoid wasteful network traffic and the latencies that entails.

I never understood the need for things to be magic. Isn’t cool that you can predict and harness these great forces?

DPDK does poll but you can have it sleep in low traffic situations. At the expense of a little extra latency.

The bulk of the CPU time is currently spent in node.js, running docusaurus.

TCP latency increases when you have high load and buffers in the way. Over 50% of CPU time is spent in the TCP stack for Redis, with the bulk of the rest in query parsing.

Most of the bottleneck is in the TCP stack. That's why user mode networking like this module does helps a lot.

Interesting that escalators are considered passé now. Bloomberg was incredibly proud of their curved escalators and pointed them out repeatedly.

The “security” came from the fact it was tuned to receive a specific frequency. Earlier radios were not very selective on which frequencies they would accept. The main benefit was not actually security but a reduction in congestion. Spewing

This is in one of the wealthier neighborhoods in the Greater Toronto Area. Its not known for its crime, and this particular Walmart used to be much nicer before what I'm guessing is a new manager took over. The security guards don&#x27

In mine they replaced the friendly greeters with stone faced security guards. The self checkouts also remind you that they're watching your every move with a dialog you must accept before paying.

Mines along the DMZ are important because it prevents North Korea’s significant land army from crossing into the South. Without it Seoul is at significant risk. Everyone points to the south’s modern weaponry and US backing as reasons why th

Even the major driver behind the mine ban treaty Frank O'Dea notes that the only reason the US didn't sign the treaty is no exception was made for the Korean DMZ. He gives significant credit to the United States for making the ba

The hardware was always pretty vulnerable (especially to rogue DMA devices). If anything the exotic nature of these attacks shows we are through the low hanging fruit. There was never a time the hardware was secure though. That was always j

Digitized is an odd word choice. I’m pretty sure minidisc was already a digital format.

There was also a weak transistor on some Sandy Bridge chips in the SATA controller. But these failures are really quite rare.

Oh I’m sure people have been backing this for a very long time. But the reason it’s become law at this time is the election.

It’s an election year in Canada and the race is close. Expect more feel good laws that don’t actually change much.
