The guide is very detailed, so I've saved some for later. I've been using NATS I think since around 2018-2019 (can't recall). I've only used its pub:sub feature as it was MUCH lighter than Kafka. It's interesting th

To an otherwise defenceless country, it's really the same thing. Indiscriminately flattening buildings without notifying civilians to move, destroying industries, stealing their resources and reserves. Who can recover from this, especi

The norm in other countries is 6 months. That's enough time to get the mid-year numbers to be reviewed by an auditor. I don't think malice of the decision.

The second port is likely necessary for USB hubs that rely on both ports. I had one for my M1 Air. I assume it'd still work with the 2 different speeds, but I'd be curious to try it. I'm going to get a Neo for my wife once it

I'm a bit upset that there's no screenshot of Africa in the call outs at the bottom. With the detail spec that the author describes, it reminds me that I have an identical CPU but I couldn't get my RAM to run at the advertise

My 2017 model probably short circuited during a lightning strike, because it stopped working after a storm. My friend offered to sell me his 2019 but I thought there'd be new hardware. I should have bought it. I love the Shield, compar

I've been a skeptic, but now that I'm getting into using LLMs, I'm finding being very descriptive and laying down my thoughts, preferences, assumptions, etc, to help greatly. I suppose a year ago we were talking about prompt

It's not just tax obligations, no? Employers in many countries have an obligation to ensure that your salary reflects on the X day of the month (or whatever frequency you're paid). Banks in my country have a payroll payment system

I somehow thought the launch of the car was next week, I see it was this week. I thought I'd wait for it but my ICE started giving me mechanical issues that weren't being resolved. With this and the BMW iX3 being around a year awa

Time will tell on their battery, especially if the bike they're putting it on delivers. I think the overall point could be that there's active R&D in trying to find geopolitically sustainable materials, and lowering the weight

I sympathise with burying cables that you think are for life, only to need to replace them later. We ran fibre cables in the ceiling when constructing our house. I requested the electrician to shield the cables with some tubing, but he prob

If anyone working on the implementation is here, was it not possible to upstream your changes to BoringTun? The blog mentions some changes but doesn't go into detail on that aspect.

I suspect more the latter than anything. It could be that by the time Rust gets used in the kernel core, one or both of the GCC implementations would be functional enough to compile the kernel. I'm curious though, if someone has an anc

It's great to see my name mentioned here, cheered me up as I'm not having a good weekend. It feels like a lifetime ago since I got to work on this and parquet-rs. Yeah, I agree with the conclusion on Kafka here. Kafka is a very re

I struggle to follow your point. They still need to do that for any codec, and I would think that the DRM decryption would be using algorithms that might also be hardware accelerated.

The main reason why clusters still make sense is because you'll have a bunch of people accessing subsets of much larger data regularly, or competing processes that need to have their output ready at around the same time. You distribute

We used a contractor yes. Oddly, the civil engineer signed off on the foundations. I think what happened is that the foundations might have been correct, but when they started laying bricks, they used the internal dimensions. The foundation

To add more context, the staircase is within local building standards minimums. Our architect at least was able to enforce that. The bathrooms have slightly smaller tubs, though we scratched one of the larger tubs while trying to fit it in,

We discovered/noticed this when the exterior walls were 2 meters high. They had to move around interior walls but that didn't help much. My wife and I concluded that we got what we paid for, and you're right that in hindsight

I could have benefited from this in the construction of our house. Riddled with inaccuracies, the engineer signed off on the foundations, but we found out when the walls were up that the builders used the internal dimensions as exterior dim

You assume that we're dealing with a rational person who has all their senses intact. The deal would likely take months for the world to see if it's successful. He can get nominated next year if he keeps his own house peaceful too

My cheat code for 100 kWH is an EV that supports V2H. It's becoming supported in more cars, so I want to buy an EV as my next car. I don't anticipate battery savings and new tech reaching me faster than replacing my aging car with

There's going to be a lot of undoing actions that were taken because of an old bully who thinks the world is a celebrity game show. Surely tariffs for 3 more years are less damaging than buying a sinking ship? South African right wing

I'd imagine semantic versioning to be more subjective with a language that relies on a social contract, because if a user chooses to use those private fields, a minor update or patch could break their code. It does feel regressive to m

I speculate that it's because the MSSQL tools have been maintained as part of Azure Data Studio, and were in better shape. ADS is being sunset, and I was surprised when trying to install the Postgres extension on VS Code to find that i
