Is S3 slow or fast? It’s both, as far as I can tell and represents a class of systems (mine included) that go slow to go fast. S3 is “slow” at the level of a single request. It’s fast at the level of making as many requests as needed in par

What’s large? I’m not sure the creeks and swimming holes I frequented in my youth would qualify. Also, the post isn’t about swimmable water—it’s a cautionary tale about how little it takes to drown. I can confirm that as one winter my neigh

That’s an answer straight from an LLM methinks and not reflective of actual experience. Read up on real world tests for the practical differences. They are very similar but far from “the same”.

From a coding point of view it’s also nice if all the drives are exactly the same, so each isn’t compensated for separately. But yeah, just a nicety.

What are the loads on a drive in this use case? 35lbs robot bouncing on one foot would be 350lbs-ish of dynamic load? That can be handled with 2mm Dyneema.

Dynema makes a huge difference, a true game changer in many ways. I came across it rigging sailboats where is started out replacing ropes and now replaces steel cables as well. Spectra is another brand with different, equally amazing proper

On reading the title, my mind went to crafting image (or video) uploads that effectively “undo“ the water marking. That is, is there a way to alter content before uploading it so that when the watermark is applied it reverts the change and

I tend to agree. It’s always been my understanding that record types were strictly data holders and shouldn’t be embellished with behavior.

Isn’t that a bit of an aside? Folks not being able to afford to own a home is different than folks not being able to afford a home where they want. I’ve been in both situations and one is considerably more unpleasant (and difficult to escap

The universal agreement that “we need to build more housing” baffles me. I see persistent vacancy rates, so the raw capacity is there. High commercial vacancy means more will come without new builds. If the issue is ownership versus rentin

It's painful to setup a property. The chosen street view image was poorly selected (a picture of a bush) and there was no way to pan to a location that shows the driveway. The click, click, wait, click, wait cycle for creating markers

Thank you for that very excellent reply.

Is it a “clock” or a “clock signal”, in a similar sense that position encoders can be relative or “absolute” (but only within a specific range)?

This seems very interesting for APIs where clients have chatty and long lived connections. I’m thinking about the GitHub API, for example.

Most people aren’t knowledgeable about specific facts, and that’s why they are impressed by people (or things) that sound like they are.

It’s very odd to think of something extremely hot but with almost no density, and therefore very little heat transfer.

This is such a weird rationalization. You’d sell a kidney to be a 10x developer but making an app 1000000x smaller isn’t worth a thought? Maybe that’s why the former hasn’t happened.

I’m not sure what the authors point was with respect to ASN 16509. Are they saying parked domains don’t like being viewed by Amazon IPs or that moving to Amazon is a strong signal for being parked? The latter seems absurd. But is it?
