SQLite does not have a client-server interface. That’s ok because the creator says it is supposed to be an embedded library that gives a better fopen interface. That is, you don’t need to invent file formats (think JSON, YAML, etc). SQLite

OS does not serve requests -- applications do. While it may be possible to demo a toy OS+app, real-world applications take seconds if not minutes to start and warm up. Throughput on a cold-cache is a fraction of that on a warm cache. Starti

> Seeing load averages of ~900,000 blows my mind. More impressive is that you can run "uptime" and it actually responds with an output in reasonable amount of time with said 6-digit load-average.

What he is saying is that in a routed network (instead of bridged), you don't need MAC address. At least not at layer 2.

Non-ionizing radiation does kill at ultra-high level, but not through cancer, just plain old burning. That's exactly what your microwave over does.

There is no replenishing process, its just a conceptual thing. In code one just computes time difference and then multiplies that with fill rate to determine tokens to fill before deducting any. Token buckets are popular because they work w

That a society is fine with incarcerating 9 (NINE!) year old kids is disturbing... but, I am haunted by the thoughts that a society on earth incarcerated ten year old kids for non-violent acts in the name of zero tolerance. Zero tolerance

Yes, and with significant outages too. Again, I'm not saying multicast doesn't work. Multicast works well as long as you can guarantee that your network topology, components (switches and routers), servers and usage pattern will b

by mritun 10y ago
It depends on the network. If the network is 100-1000 nodes and you can guarantee that the switches and routers you use to build it (and upgrade in future) implement it correctly and won't break/introduce bugs in future firmware r

Multicast fails before bandwidth starts becoming an issue. Collisions and congestion are fact of life and do not necessarily mean that links are full (you may just have lots of packets stuck close together in time). Most TCP implementations
169.
by mritun 10y ago
That's multicast for you. Once you congestion and/or group size increase beyond a certain value or group size, things go /really/ bad; as in you may need to "shutdown, wait and reboot" your network to recover.

by mritun 10y ago
Interesting research paper but multicast is a non-starter for non-trivial production systems. 1. As implemented by most (read: all) network hw, it works fine when congestion is low. As soon as congestion starts increasing, the packet loss a

Keep it. You're likely to sell it for quite a loss. If you think you're likely to find a partner again, you'll be in for buying one again. Diamonds are /forever/ (:P), keep and reuse it.
