My friend recommended to put a small percent late payment fee, stated in the contract and on each invoice. Haven't really used it yet because we don't have a problem with late payments, but I do think it would work, because our B2

That does not cap memory per query, which should be implemented by postgres explicitly to capture only the memory that really counts towards "the query" (fine-grained memory limits; ulimit is not that).

A problem with that is that Nix is slow. On my nixos-rebuild, building a simple config file for in /etc takes much longer than a common gcc invocation to compile a C file. I suspect that is due to something in Nix's Linux sandbox

Haskell is the king of cancellation. Using asynchronous exceptions, you can cancel anything, anytime, with user -defined exception types so you know what the cancellation reason is. Example: maybeVal <— timeout 1000000 myFunction

There really is no benefit of splitting a functionality from it's test. Then you just have a commit in the history which is not covered by tests. Splitting "handling the happy vs error path" sounds even worse. Now I first hav

I guess until we know what that network share is and how it works, we cannot really progress. Taking 10 ms to fetch the 19 KB file is definitely not great, it would be ~50 LAN roundtrips. > whatever's preventing that 250MB file from

No, the example exercises the full TCP protocol including all its logic. There have been plenty of examples of protocols where that is far from infinitely fast and does not scale even on localhost, e.g. with OpenVPN or any protocol that req

Worth pointing out that with Nix/NixOS this problem doesn't exist. The problem in other distros is that if you prefix PATH so that it contains your executable "foo", and then run a program that invokes "foo" fr

From which part do you take the "several milliseconds"? If I assume 0.2ms ping and each rsync read() is a roundtrip, I arrive at 6.4 minutes = 62955918871 B / (32 1024 B) 0.0002 s / (60 s/min).

But I am "the previous poster". And I am quite sure that UDP is slower, becuase I increase `--bandwitdh` until throughput stops increasing, which is at 20% of TCP's speed.

I was about to say: The question was what exactly rsync pipelines, and whether it serialises its network sends. If true, that would be a plausible cause of parallelism speeding it up. Serial local reads are not a plausible cause, because th

I find that a bit of a weird point. The goal of such sandboxing is that you can allow the agent to freely write/execute/test code during development, so that it can propose a solution/commit without the human having to approv

by nh2 8mo ago
Yes. Why? To measure other overhead of what's claimed (TCP the protocol being slow), one should exclude other things that necessarily affect alternative protocols as well (e.g. latency) as much as possible, which is what this does.

The original post only mentions 3564 files and rsync spending 8 minutes on that. This just doesn't check out.

I quoted the documentation that claims _something_ is pipelined. That is extremely vague on what that is and I also didn't check that it's true. Both the original claim "the issue is the serialization of operations" and
