Is Newegg bad now? Historically heard good things, what happened? Private equity?

It is interesting to me that TV off is the norm (for me and people I know) except! If there is a live sporting event on that someone cares about, then it would be rude not to have it on and is expected. Weird. Makes no sense at all, humans

I look at the self directed learning resources kids have today and am jealous. How many of us have brute forced computers and the abstractions within by hammering MSDOS, all of its weird nooks and crannies with no one to explain anything. I

I wonder if it’s a signal of how much their are willing to Invest in people. I’ve been interviewing recently and have seen many companies are explicitly “we don’t care about language exp we will teach you, we want good ppl”.

Interesting write up, a not comparable example as my house build was nothing like this scale or cost (I imagine), but during building our house it was interesting to observe where problems came from and how they could be fixed. The architec

Restored is an interesting choice of word, Jump replaced the ETH at their cost is my read? It’s not like they wound back the transaction or got the ETH back. They would want to be confident there are no more bugs, only a few days ago this h

28000 ephemeral ports is enough for the c10k problem, but 100k+ seems a stretch. At what point is increasing the number of ports from 28k to a higher number the right answer? Reuse as described here sounds like a useful optimization but at

Squashfs instead! There was another post about this recently, replace tar with squashfs solves a bunch of problems. Is arguably harder to create and had a smaller ecosystem than tar, but capability wise it would be great.

Handy, I’ll probably forget the 1 suffix tho. Ycombinator-meta.com or smth might be more memorable, that’s my problem tho I guess =)

You could probably just do both? Once a redirect has fired, off you go..?

good fit for containerd then =)

Have thought about writing the same thing, would love to see it OSS. Real value for me would be to integrate it with containerd or similar to speed up image layer pull times, I imagine that isn’t shelling out to a separate binary tho. What

Came here to say exactly that, squashfs with overlay mount for writes beats this easily. Hard to change the entire container ecosystem away from tarballs tho so this is still useful. Is it available anywhere? I didn’t see a link?

Nah they generally make a loss on just the pool seeding bets (made by the nominated lucky few) and make it up from the rest. Generally the seeding bets end up as a small percentage of the overall pool.

I don't have an EV but is in my future, and we do a long trip (500km) regularly, not sure how practical this is but i've always thought, is it worth buying a car for 100% of your needs? or get something for 90% and solve the 10% d

Yep, few friends gone through the same thing. Seems like a coder-finding-betting rite of passage, 'oh right i can automate this process and earn whilst I sleep!' Nope, bookies only want to keep profitable customers, or provide som

yep was my thoughts too, WASM solves some problems well. But it isn't and can't replace general containers like Docker does, for some specific workloads sure but not a general solution. And yeah i don't quite think everyone t

Motivation isn’t fungible and I’ve been in a place where the given schedule is true of me, but that’s not a good place for me, that’s me unhappy and clock watching, a sign of bad times. I want to do more, solve more, continue . The end of d

Interesting detail, didn’t realize go dead code analysis was this easily made ineffective. 52MB for ec2 SDK is a big chunk of code that must be mostly dead/unused. Seems like eventually this should become a priority for library writers

Not surprising I suppose, likely the inspiration, but the pressures and temperature and general inhospitable-ness sound an awful lot like the alternate life supporting planet for Rocky in Project Hail Mary. Good book!

minor additional benefit is that it configures 'service account signing' in k3s OOTB, so you don't have to hack it in by changing config behind docker desktop's back if you really need it like we did.

Yep is a big long tail to think about solving for, decades of features / idiosyncrasies in a complex domain.

Agree with general sentiment that creating a DSL/HCL like thing to essentially represent DDL commands seems less than ideal I wouldn’t want to be the author on the hook for never ending sql functions etc, you’d want a good escape hatch

Was going to disagree but ended up coming around to the argument. I guess the difference is at a certain point preparation turns into a wasteful arms race, it’s not just a reasonable amount of effort put into your next gig but too much effo

yep its more complicated than my simple statement makes it out =) i guess the core of the statement was that the net cost to the db is more tied to offset than select, yes they interact and 'select * with offset' is more expensive
120.
by nhoughto 5y ago
Yeah it doesn’t, the mistake is thinking the “select *” is the expensive bit, for limit 15 it’s cheap, it’s the offset 150000 that is expensive deferred or not.
