1. fafhrd91 might not be an English "native". A simple linguistic look at his comments (esp on gitter when he answers our questions) shows that he uses very short sentences. Perhaps that comes across as harsh to some people, but f

gRPC would account for very little time relative to the k-means algorithm. I think what results in the large speedup is the "embarrassing" parallelism that an async Rust server (gRPC in this case) would give. Knowing the CPU time

You make a good point, I forgot that it's not Mac or Windows compatible, and the limited hardware support.

I'm a layman on this, but reading IBM's rebuttal, it seems that they're saying "you can't say that a conventional supercomputer would take 10'000 years because you haven't accounted for spilling to disk an

You reverse it with an adjusting entry. What happens if you've transferred too much from your savings account into your current/cheque account? You make another transaction to adjust the initial one.

Shouldn't an accounting database service (specifically, the ledger) be immutable and double-entry in any case? > To address consistency, we picked a well-established, public-domain, battle-tested approach to modeling financials that

The site requires answering a survey, which I didn't. This brought up an ethics scenario: A website puts a very click-batey title, and gates the article/content with a survey. What happens after a person fills in the survey, and t

If you run your own infra, LXC/LXD is invaluable when you want long-term stateful containers (e.g. to run databases on). If like me, you started using LXC around the time of the 1.0 blog-post series, and are stuck with 14.04LTS contain

The cool thing with this would be that after n iterations, where n % 2 == 0, you'd still get the same bullahit as output. Send this along with a hash/number indicating the position of each converted word in the dictionary, and you

Why did they need the jet? Was it to swiftly fly startup founders around the world conveniently when they needed to attend something? And to think that this mess nearly got listed :(

Thanks for this, I forgive you for this; hope Dropbox fixes this soon enough. I went a while being followed by spam after a Dropbox email leak a few years ago

This is great for people heavily invested in the .NET world. I like the integration with VS, and with the language overall. We worked with a small vendor on a project at work last year, where he was building a frontend for our gRPC based ba

Yes, there's probably benefit in using functions/serverless, but other than for a few endpoints where spinning an always-running VM/container/server, I've also always questioned their value. [Anecdote time]: I'

The container cleanup effort is welcomed, and I hope the milestone is completed in the near future. My private instance on LXD is using about 350GB, and given that I don't commit large files on Git, I suspect that about 330-340GB is al

The idea is great, but seems the implementation (when playing a game) doesn't quite work out well from an UX perspective. I kept struggling to move pieces, while the AI was able to move multiple pieces in a few seconds. Perhaps I wasn&

My apologies, I actually meant to say liquid nitrogen cooler.

Read the article, first paragraph says "... but will feature a higher all-core Turbo frequency when it has sufficient cooling". So at least they've added the caveat, though "sufficient" could mean liquid cooling onl

You're outsourcing your thinking to an organisation that's looking at specific definitions. Might be better to read the licensee and compare it with the previous one.

It's likely that the outrage is from people who don't use MongoDB. A lot of my things rely on the Community Edition. Even with the SSPL, I'm still eagerly waiting a few more weeks to upgrade to 4.2, and take advantage of some

I'm not asking for lack of knowledge, but I was asking the parent as they needed to make the distinction.

But what's the difference between open source, free, and "source available" for inspection?

I agree with your statement. Rationally, MongoDB's decision made sense because of the real actual threat of AWS and others offering alternatives (at various levels of baking) that seek to undermine MongoDB. If this is the path that we

> So I hope somebody forks MongoDB from the version where it was open source. To what end? Why should we use a fork that's supported by a few people when we can still use the Community Edition that's from the horse's mouth

They're roughly equivalent, but what if B costs a tenth of A? It's not about the safety of the bet, because from an OSS perspective, the issue seems to be that many are moving away from MongoDB to something even more opaque. I don

My point is that those support functions' lack of understanding of realms outside of AWS shouldn't be the sole motivator for not using a technology. What happens if a company that uses Software A has good motivation to use B, but

This still doesn't sound like a good reason to pay AWS instead of MongoDB. Didn't your Security, Cloud Engineering and Finance teams have no understanding of AWS at some point? Why can't they start to 'understand' h
