For many BMCs the second network port is a figment of your imagination. The BMC is capable of intercepting and injecting network frames on the host's interfaces. Just because you have the management port wired to a different VLAN or

I've spent many years working for the #1 and the #2 largest installations of computers on earth and neither of them use BMC or ILOMs. So there's definitely a disconnect here between your expectations and my reality.

Remote office management can be handled by a KVM with remote access. These can be security hazards in their own right, but it’s a lot safer than having some vendor junk literally hard-wired to your PCI bus.

I’m just going to throw this out there: BMCs and ILOMs are for tiny shops where “the IT guy” might have to do something from the beach at Cannes on their vacation. If you are a large operator like Apple you absolutely do not need BMCs.

Tl;dr: Waymo did not need them and Honda needed somebody.

Right, it's amazing how blind people can be to reality. In Berkeley, the crunchiest of all possible american cities, the electric vehicle fleet is only 2% of cars on the road, and much less than 2% of all the vehicle-miles. Cars last

The case for electric cars taking over by 2020 is looking pretty darn wrong at this point, isn’t it?

Why does GM need to put up their own money when Japan is falling over over itself to fund their R&D program?

Eh. Article is a bit short on facts. Starting with the first bullet, the only place I've ever worked that rolled out OS updates continuously with a maximum 15-day latency was also an enormous global enterprise with tens of thousands

That seems to have a lot of rough edges. For me, when browsing C++, there is exactly 1 killer feature: find callers. I recently deployed Kythe just to get this and it took many hours of my time. I would love to have something a little easi

That sounds like an awesome project.

No, I don’t, but in my experience at Google the kernel scheduler is a big problem for thread-per-request servers pushed to their limits. Async completion-passing servers are more efficient at their limits but more difficult to write, mainta

That's a fair point. Such schemes are for people whose profiles clearly implicate the kernel scheduler.

Did you read the PDFs that are cited in this thread? Paul Turner's switch-to scheme switches between real threads orders of magnitude faster than the kernel scheduler. So it's not true that "you're not really going to

Your general point does not stand. It is totally incorrect. A thread does not commit its stack limit immediately. The limit is the limit. The initial size is a single page.

by romed 8y ago
Linux does not immediately map 2MB of stack for every thread. That would be ridiculous. Look in proc/smaps to see how much space your stacks actually occupy.

by romed 8y ago
I don't think anyone from google claims that threads with userspace switch-to scheduling is a novel advancement of computer science. However, it is somewhat novel to have a production-quality implementation of same in C++.

Also why you should give all the critical projects to interns.

Perhaps people new to the codebase (or the industry, or to life in general) are less likely to view existing constructs as obviously correct, and therefore more likely to point out flaws.

Yes, an unpowered LED emits no light. But an OLED that's barely on, for example at uniform 1% grey looks like crap because of the noise. People describe this as a "texture" or "banding". It's the consequence

The problem is LCDs have much worse objective performance as the backlight diminishes. E-Ink has tragically bad contrast of 15:1, but it maintains that contrast ratio in low lighting conditions. LCD panels rely on high brightness for thei

Well, it's pretty small. I'm just multiplying though here the CTR and the CPC and the QPS. I guess they can probably serve DDG from a handful of machines, since they don't own the search stack.

How can DDG make a living at 350 queries per second?

The example use case of sending an email for every lead in your sheet is already handled in Sheets itself. You can send email with Apps Script and have been able to do so for a decade.

That doesn't just seem like a few unlucky coincidences. That seems like a fundamentally unsound design. Why should it even be theoretically possible for a request under the authority of one user to create a token with the authority o
