Except that your source of truth aka your raw data is now memoized, hardly a win. This is not a goal of memoization or dynamic programming at all. Perfect for a reporting database though.

SSDs achieve their speed in part by combining multiple independent NAND channels under a single controller - each channel is more or less equivalent to an actuator. Their speed vary greatly based on workload parallelism, yet it's still

Having dual actuators (Seagate's Mach.2 branding) can increase IOPS by having 2 heads process the queue in parallel. That should bring a noticeable improvement, but it's true that it doesn't apply to sequential random (just l

To the last bit about promotions, I like to think that things are how we -- anyone in a team lead or manager position now or in the future -- shape them to be. It's sad thinking about a state of affairs where I would be biased towards

For the record, I didn't say I fear nuclear. I'd pick Nuclear over coal any day. I'm not for or against any particular technology. In normal circumstances Hydro seems among the safest [1] for both humans and the environment a

Interesting point about water disputes, wasn't aware -- and freshwater supply is not going up in the future.

Maybe it's because I'm in Canada where several provinces use hydro as a primary energy source, but why doesn't make it to the top of the lists more often? Nearby ecosystem damages, relatively speaking, seem rather low in comp

Not really - each miner (and versions of them) may have different command line arguments or monitoring APIs Nicehash wouldn't know about, so it's going to be more trouble than it's worth. I meant just starting them from the c

Nicehash (the app) is a convenience tool to manage miner executables -- it's mostly those that are flagged by AVs. You can connect most miner executables to Nicehash (the service) or other pools directly, and some are open-source. For

You now have to integrate that pattern/module, and learn/work with the tooling to integrate the pattern/module, which adds new complexity and constraints on top of the now-centralized hidden complexity. On the whole, it’s wor

If you ask me to draw an ampersand and a G-Clef (𝄞), I'll probably render more or less the same thing. Possibly because in childhood I've drawn several G-Clefs but never ampersands (that I recall), while the opposite has been true

I see. While I don't know the details, it seems it would promote the use of "entry/barrel" files once again.

On the other hand, trying to setup a typescript monorepo with shared/dependent projects is a huge pain since everything needs to be transposed to intermediary JS that severely limits or breaks tooling. Even TS project references make a

Agreed I'm slightly off-topic. I was more thinking of the general thread of some things getting bigger and not always an improvement (for various reasons).

Car size have steadily increased up to the early 2010s [1] and I haven't noticed a stop to this trend, especially when including the market movements towards car-like small SUVs. Availability of smaller cars keeps going down (Honda Fit

Yes, "courriel" is the common and official [1] word in Québec. Portmanteau of courrier (mail) + électronique. Their professional translator must have used Google Translate. But much worse translations are common in our corner of N

One thing no browsers I'm aware of does right is re-highlighting matches after clicking a link. Firefox keeps the search bar open, but you still need to re-trigger it to update the match count and highlight. Chrome just closes it, sigh

Indeed, but I also count that as a support ticket!

Also happy with my move to Firefox, it surpassed my expectations. Two (small) pain points have been: - customizing userChrome.css .. It was a bit time consuming to figure out first (I wanted to remove the top bar and use vertical tabs). Hap

Another potential area might be unit testing. As an example, I've been running a test suite on a C# github project (xUnit and mocking libraries) with ~1.5K tests. The CPU is at a solid 100% cpu usage all the way through. In higher-leve

The source code is in .ts, and appears to use Node child processes [0], so probably yes. I'd be curious to see the kind of resource usage is involved building TSC. My limited experience using Node worker threads (to compile small React

If recent history is any indication, I don't believe that walled garden software will make for repairable, longer lasting, customizable cars rather than being used for planned obsolescence.

Using Acrobat DC, searching for content in all PDFs in a folder takes ages. It is both slow AND single-threaded, the disk is barely moving. Tried with Foxit and a few others, same thing. I had to seek indexed search apps, and those are few

https://www.anandtech.com (Ian Cutress et al.) has good regular "deep dive" pieces. David Kanter at https://www.realworldtech.com is worth a read, although his site is not as active.

Ultrawidify on Firefox is doing a pretty good job at stretching it out to 21:9 (dynamically so it switches on the xBox logo part).
