Q about a related use case: Can I use tiered storage (e.g., SSD cache in front of a HDD with, say, dm-cache), or an md-based approach like Discord's, to successfully sync an Ethereum node? Everyone says "you should get a 2TB SSD&q

Interesting: this sounds like BPA-free plastics -- a lot of these have BPB and BPS which animal and cell-line studies have found just as concerning, but hey you can slap a "BPA-free" sticker on them!

Fun fact: Windows XP sound was created using a cracked version of Sound Forge; it embeds "Deepz0ne" scene name in the files :) (This is absent in SP1 and further.) https://boingboing.net/2006/07/19/w

I could understand pricing dynamically-updated things like self-driving features as a subscription service (someone needs to train newer and better ML models; update maps; etc) but something _fixed_ made into a subscription is just tacky.

Fun fact: Mahler famously showed that if p/q is a rational number then |\pi - p/q| > 1/q^42. So we can't have a string of 4242T zeros after first 101T digits :-) The exponent 42 has since been improved by a series of

Unfortunately downloading over SOCKS proxy also means inability to download from swarms where all peers can't accept an incoming connection, which matters for obscure torrents. I'd suggest running your VPN-only applications in a s

Transmission does not support BitTorrent v2 so there is a growing subset of torrents that Transmission can't download but, say, Deluge or qBittorrent can.

By the way, while one indeed needs the ability to "cancel out"/invert, we can derive similar swaps in weaker algebraic structures (and don't need full Abelian groups). For example, non-zero rationals can be divide-swappe

I can highly recommend Jane Street's Signals & Threads episode on clock synchronization: https://signalsandthreads.com/clock-synchronization/ In fact, the entire podcast is exceptional.
