Reading these articles about light and quantum theory is always a frustrating experience for me. They are all invariably hand-wavy and never seem to explain things from first-principles. Does anyone have a good reference for a book that doe

Sort of surprised that the Viterbi Algorithm (1967) doesn't make the list. The simplicity and efficiency of the algorithm for finding a maximum likelihood sequence is astounding.

I had this same problem. Turns out that the referrer header must come from google for it to work. So: 1. Enable sendRefererHeader in about:config (if you've disabled it in Firefox) 2. Turn off referrer spoofing if you're using uMa

The "password sharing" feature of Windows 10 is sufficient reason for me to never allow anyone with Windows 10 access to my network. Ever. That's the way I'll opt out. Not by changing my SSID.

If it's so critical, why doesn't the company hire a larger team to do this and rotate people around in well defined shifts?

I really don't know. I wasn't there long enough and didn't have full insight into the workings. But my guess is that they eventually settled on a solution that met most of the specs at a reasonable cost. However, what that op

The next generation of EVMs apparently come with an additional printer unit (VVPAT) that doubles up as a ballot box. The voter can verify that what got printed was the vote he/she cast, and the papers collected in the printer unit&#x27

How would you "inspect" a ballot box from which real votes have been discarded and which has been stuffed with fake votes? Once you have sufficient access to open a voting machine (electronic or otherwise) and change components, a

I used to consult for a company that made WiMax base station equipment in India. Typically, the way government would work, is that they'd send out request for information to multiple vendors. Then, they'd take the list of paramete

Hmm... if there's no kernel, who manages the process scheduling?

by msravi 11y ago
Thanks. Any idea about this? > ...if my application creates a fork(), will the container be unable to handle scheduling of the additional process?
652.
by msravi 11y ago
Ok, this is starting to clear things up for me. When you say that it runs a single process by design, does it mean that if my application creates a fork(), the image will be unable to handle scheduling of the additional process? Let's

So docker machine will create an image for that particular host (AWS/DO/GC...) and create a docker image on TOP of that, correct? It solves the problem of me configuring multiple hosts, but there's still an extra OS layer in

by msravi 11y ago
Does the docker image run directly on their base virtualization platform or does it run on top of another OS (that I install) that runs on their virtualization platform? I have an OS in my docker image already, so..

by msravi 11y ago
I really, really, don't understand the docker fixation, but maybe I'm missing something. The most important function of docker, IMHO, is that it standardizes the creation of a VM using Virtualbox across platforms. Unless Amazon AW

Sorry, it's late here and my brain is just unable to parse your sentence. Are you asking if it matters if the information is gained officially or unofficially?

An honest question: Does the highest paid engineer know that (s)he makes slightly more than you? If so, does (s)he know of it in an official capacity or has (s)he sort-of figured it out? Oftentimes, I've found that management operates

It's probably true, but the thresholds to move up to the next level are vastly different. On the "management" ladder, you probably need to mostly stay out of the way of your team and let them execute, while acting occasionall

So why would you not have localized infrastructure to handle average loads and use AWS to scale to peak only when necessary? Why use AWS even for your average loads?
