   I lost ~60 lbs on a keto diet, but every stat was unsafe, and I felt awful in ways I'd never felt before.

   Turns out that number crunching isn't what my CPU is doing most of the time. :-/.

   You work at WhatsApp then? I've written a bunch of Erlang, and a bit of Linux Kernel bits. You're right, rarely do I break BEAM because most of what I'm able to break is in Erlang. The only times when this is untrue is perfor

   Unfortunately, BEAM is not really very easy to hack on. The community has gotten much better than it was a few years ago, but the code is pretty hard to understand. I think the BEAM approach could be very attractive for embedded systems, gi

   There have been several attempts to virtualize cells, and come up with expressive PLs for hacking metabolic pathways. Turns out shit is too complicated

   I did a bunch of testing with ARM (ThunderX) for an IPC workload using this codebase: github.com/sargun/wat. Unfortunately, it no longer runs on ARM, because I'm using inline assembly. The ThunderX's power comes from the

   Eh, Tesla has done a notoriously bad job at being open with access to their repair guides and software.

    So, disclaimer: I work on Titus. We have a lot of odd integration points with Netlfix OSS and AWS. It's funny, but providing simple things like a metadata service is valuable. Our internal Service Discovery relies on it (which is OSS

    We have one at work. Everyone looks at it when they come into the room, and pokes at it. I've never actually seen anyone use it though. I personally spent maybe 2 minutes trying to get it to work, and gave up out of frustration and res

    They mention that the submarine uses liquid oxygen. How are they storing this cryogenic liquid, and compressing it? I imagine that would take a ridiculous amount of equipment, and power in the first place?

    This might be a dumb question, but it looks like there are two cockpits on this plane. I imagine the plane is drive by wire, so it doesn't matter where you are on the plane. Why do they have two? Extending my question further, why does

    Does CosmosDB have any relationship to Microsoft Cosmos ( http://web.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/111026a-Hellan... )? Or is this another case of Dynamo / DynamoDB?

    Why is encryption at rest difficult? I presume it's all AES (hardware accelerated), with some key derived at system boot time? Are y'all doing encryption in the D/C, or just on the WAN? If you're doing it on the WAN, any

    Tesla Motors uses Tegra chips to power their console. So, nVidia is probably okay.

    Since that article was published, things have changed a little bit. At least for the filtering use case they talked about in the blog, XDP ( https://www.iovisor.org/technology/xdp ) has come about, which is an in-kernel

    I'm really curious as to where you find the kernel's network stack problematic? Can you explain that in more detail? Also, what issues do you have with the scheduler?

    I imagine that it's less interesting for general purpose OLTP, which is what a lot of RDBMSs target. GPUs become really interesting for OLAP use cases where you're trying to push through hypercubes as quickly as possible, and comp

    I can certainly see a world where WASM and JS execution pipelines in browsers converge -- where the form used for executing WASM and JS is the same.

    I'd happily pay $20/hr for a seat. That's what, 3 lattes in SF? I just literally can't drink that much coffee. If you gave me an alternative way to pay for it, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

    From the management perspective, how else would you handle this? I.e. Allocation of resources? It's very difficult to reason about global resource allocation. In addition how do you deal with resource mapping and best fit during alloca

    I've thought about buying an old 200mm or 230mm fan, and hooking it up to a Peltier cooler -- First pass the air over the "cold" side to drop out the moisture, then through some rechargeable desiccant, and then through the ho
