Throughput for a single service / app improves, but does it really scale? Across a cluster, you will have to have data replication and sync routines, that are a whole mess themselves. The latency is not reduced, it is shifted elsewhere

Its surprising to see companies like CF being down. Like, they are the foundation on which apps and services are built. They are like the water supply, to the restaurant. Is it a correction to true value or an over-reaction to market sentim

True. A whole generation of users has been accustomed to finding their folk on social media. Whatever SM comes about, they are going to do the same. Also, the one and only business model, of any SM, is keeping people on the app , and you

DRY has a cost. And that cost is things like this,and things like rigid frameworks, rigid libraries, etc.

Exactly. Any mechanism that moves the panel to follow the sun, must be sturdy enough to also withstand high winds, which is inevitably costlier than proof of concept ideas. Better to add more panels. A better way to ensure more power output

So, when time is different for different entities under different conditions, then time is another part of universe, rather than just a mathematical convenience of a human perception. In the thought experiment, in two frames of references m

by kumarvvr 4y ago
Another way to think of it is, can you really define time without lenth? So the idea of space is required for the idea of time. It might well be possible that the idea of space is sufficient and time is just a derived perception.

by kumarvvr 4y ago
Interesting, since time itself is measured and linked to motion. Perhaps it is a construct for human consciousness, because time cannot exist without consciousness. There must be a perceptor to preceive the universe and the notion of time.

Russia always has incentive to attack, because it will drive up demand for oil and gas. War is not a pre condition. Who attacks wind farms for fun anyway? It is clear that the attack is politically linked and economically motivated.

Its not just the swappable part. I think they have modularized all the electronics and GPS communication systems inside it, so that it is always booted and on standby. As soon as it is incorporated into a drone, it will be ready for work. A

Off topic question. I am an electrical engineer and a software developer. Can anyone guide me on books and resources to design this sort of a drone? Quad copter drones are easier to make, and have a lot of resources. But, I feel these mini

The netflix story is beginning to turn, and not just because of Elon or password sharing crackdowns. Anyone can see that the other players have caught up, and their brand does not seem to have that pull anymore, especially when paired again

A great distinction and way to think about your work. However, I would prefer server side rendering as the best thing to do in all cases, because, while user state may be complex in webapp, it can be easily handled securely in a server side

Its bold to even call them investments. They are akin to a lottery / market speculation. They are assets with no underlying value, other than the subjective whims of the prospective buyer. A rich mans game, if you will.

Why use a Floppy Disk comparison at all. I guess its for comic value. But a 1 TB HDD and an associated Linux system would probably cost about 300 USD. Assuming a lifespan of about 7 years, monthly cost comes to about 3 USD per month.

I think the correct word is a "changing" company. In a static environment, without competing products like IG, FB etc, Twitter can afford to stay the way it is and probably do incremental improvements. However, in a competitive en

When power is distributed, entrenched corruption can build a malaise. Democracies and autocracies have their own serious flaws, with the scale tipping only slightly in favour of democracies. The fundamental issue is himan nature. Power, Mon

The best vessel is a flat bottomed one with at-least quarter inch thick bottom. Cast Iron ones will do too. If you have to cook something to simmer and hold heat for long, best use thick bottomed ones. What could be done to mitigate the slo

I see that as an opportunity for business. Induction heat transfer is basically generating a magnetic field in the bottom coil, which is then picked up by the vessel, currents induced in it causing the heat. Cheap induction stoves emulate l

You could use it like an Arduino. It has good software support but limited connectivity. The stamp draws its legacy from the BASIC Stamp, a small stamp sized (by a stretch) module that could be programmed with BASIC. It's not a standar

Yes. It absolutely can. And it would be even more efficient than using WASM. However, I guess adding a new language would introduce a lot of security issues and what not.

I can't wait for the browser to be released from the shackles of JS. Just imagine how awesome would it be to use the full power of Python to build a react like library. It is a source of great disappointment to me that WASM cannot dire

Yeah, they are highly automated. Even a cursory search in Google shows that. However, winding has been a cottage industry in many parts of the world. So, you still have a large ecosystem that uses tools, jigs and fixtures for winding works.

I think the logistics for battery swapping in bikes vs cars is completely different. A battery in a car is a critical piece of mechanical equipment, that lowers CG, forms an important part of the stability calculations etc. As such, the fix

Is it really fair to say about software though? As it is, a DSLR or mirrorless cameras put a lot of money to make good lenses and frames. I think it is fair to say that the software was usually on desktops, with the likes of Adobe providing

Depends on your calculation. If you are calculating the energy input to the system vs. heating output of the system, then yes, it will be more than 100% efficient. However, if you are calculating total energy input to the system vs. heating
