I believe so. I don’t think either that or domain sockets are quite as ubiquitous as TCP sockets though. The issue I see with domain sockets is that although they may be supported for example by spring, you can’t rely on a consistent cross

I have an old, slow GPU setup that has nearly 100gb of VRAM I had been trying to fill this up with big models but it doesn’t seem like these give a good return per Gb I’m looking at that and wondering would I be better off running multiple

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line? A sheet of paper approximates a Cartesian plane probably more closely than most things we can fold Therefore a fold will always be in line with the theoretical 2D plane and thus w

Arguably cache concerns are distributed computing concepts moving closer to the core. Same with concurrency semantics. These were far more exotic concepts when the fallacies were first written. Very easy to hit the 3GB limit imposed by 32-b

Micoserices or Monolith. It’s like being caught between the devil and the deep blue see. It’s a pity domain sockets never took off but I guess TCP/IP is the only truly cross platform IPC mechanism …

This article reiterates a lot of the Wikipedia stuff, while contradicting the main extant source which is Deutsch himself ( https://se-radio.net/2021/07/episode-470-l-peter-deutsch-on-... ). Nobody really knows who

Perfect demonstration of the fallacies in action! If you were used to developing applications on a self contained platform you would think something like “sure, if it fails the user can try again” On a distributed system the user can only t

The free anonymous internet was only ever a ruse to get people to use it so the CIA could spy on them. DARPA, folks, created a “free as in beer” global surveillance network and we all bought it. Not that we didn’t get anything in return but

There’s lots of things you can do in hardware that could be done in software but cost. FPGA should have solved this long ago, but apparently the guys who own the IP want to make it as hard as possible to use it …

It’s not $20 unlimited though, you’ll get a printer fixed then you’ll have to wait 8 hours. Then you’ll ask it to fix something else and it will make a mess of it. Hopefully you’ll realise it at the time rather than a few weeks later and ho

Another way to read this is the tech companies are stupidly bankrolling the EU by not complying with the laws of the lands (EU states voluntarily enact their own implementations of EU directions in return for a slice). That’s far too good a
