Embperl runs on the server. I’ll note that running Perl in browsers has long been possible, if the browser is MSIE on Win32 with Perl installed. I deployed a client-side Perl “solution” at my university in the 90s.

Oh yes. WAY faster. All that grinding that windows goes through when it starts? Doesn’t happen in a VM because the blocks are cached already in memory by the host OS.

More importantly, how many _American_ cars will be put on the road by Uber and Lyft? I think I've taken my share of Uber rides and I can't recall any that were in a domestic car. The drivers are obviously very sensitive to the eco

The only sensible way to update Windows is in a virtual machine hosted by another operating system, so the block caches don't get dropped by the reboots. When operated in this manner you an actually blow through a huge backlog of updat

Damn, that was harsh on Google Keep. It was basically written by and operated by a single person in his spare time.

5% is barely a functioning market. Normally you'd expect 8-10% vacancy rate in a well-supplied housing market.

Probably that's why the Skylake Xeon CPUs have 6 channels.

You analysis was stated as "most states show ..." when the fact is you can add up the population of "most states" and not get anywhere near most of the people. So it's a mistake to think that way.

It would seem to be a mistake to generalize across the entire nation, and basing your analysis on a denominator of school districts will be weirdly biased; better would be on a student-weighted basis. Locally, i can tell you that despite th

You should be able to route 10gbps with a whitebox PC containing a recent intel Core CPU (say, 5th gen or later) and a decent NIC such as Intel X540 or similar.

UTP is fine for 10gig, and in fact it has much longer reach, 55m-100m depending on cable quality, compared to twinaxial which is only defined by the standards to 15m. Twinax is also bulkier and costs more. Coax isn't defined for 10g,

And it's just demeaning. Any sensible urban transportation system needs to be a pyramid based on most trips being taken on foot. Anything that prioritizes cars over pedestrians in a city is a mistake. Yes, it's a mistake that 99.

According to Pew in 2016 half of adults reported using a public library in the last 12 months. The annual report "Public Libraries in the United States" estimates 4.5 library visits per capita in 2015. Libraries are one of the mos

If you look at the rhetoric of the "State of Jefferson" proponents it's clear that they believe simply clear-cutting the remaining forests will fund their society.

The people did not vote down the library tax because they were unaware of the library. They voted it down because they did not value the library. I think it's great that the townspeople who do value libraries are telling the outsiders

I met Allen down at Scaled Composites. He wanted to shoot people into space for fun, which I totally respect. World needs more like him, not fewer. RIP.

If you get fired you might not qualify for unemployment benefits, depending on jurisdiction. Not applicable to executives I suspect, but there it is.

Retrying localizable errors (such as 503 Service Unavailable) should be universally practiced in any RPC scheme. Nobody can make a backend that's 100% reliable.

In practice, it is far, far more common for bad actors to run the pump and dump than to short and issue fake news. The latter is rare enough that we don't have a word for it. The former is common enough to be called "pump and dump

Kinda seeing Jack's side of the argument. Why do we need the voters to partition up the city budget in perpetuity? It's a bad way to run the government. The city has a far better, far cheaper lever by which it can fix the homeless

Not really. A newly promoted engineer is very likely to get Meets Expectations, since the criteria for promotion is nominally that the person has already been meeting expectations at the next level.
