Has there been another version of futex2 published to the mailing list recently? I’m super excited about it.

One of the problem with Tesla’s is they cannot have long periods of sustained acceleration due to the way battery cooling works. They could probably rig up something fancy, but at least none of the models right now do this easily.

One of the really cool DynamoDB features I love (at least in theory) is CDC / Streams. Also the fact it automagically hooks up to Kinesis is neat. Unfortunately, for personal projects, this can lead to runaway spending. Does Fauna have

IMHO, nVidia has fallen into the very definition of a monopoly - They have instituted practices where they've cornered the industry in a variety of ways through..strategies that have made them a monopoly. I choose not to give them my m

Isn’t the application name set at connect time? Or can you change that after startup? (Re)connecting to the database and not having a pool is kind of a nightmare.

I would disagree about google and Facebook. Both have made tremendous OSS contributions such as BPF LSM, level db, react, and zstd.

I’m kind of surprised that the people who make those pods at offices haven’t gotten into this. Heat inactivation is shown to be effective at getting rid of sars-cov-2. Those little pod things could have a cleaning cycle where they heat up t

Yep. I broke a system at work this way. I needed a piece of crytopgraphic information generated by an internal system for testing. The system requires all pieces are signed (with an accompanying expiration date). I decided to ask for it to

Funny story, I broke a plug while undoing it (there was some jank), and it refused to let me go faster than ~5mph. I needed the service station to remove the adapter.

I propose a “51% tax”. Once a given organization takes over 51% of a given market, their revenue begins to be taxed. This tax is then used to either fund public R&D or consider that to be a tax credit evenly distributed (somehow) to the

At least in the states, most power companies require a commitment when you are using more than a megawatt of power. The idea is that you use this money to build infrastructure to support the customer (high power distribution usually). I’m s

A lot of technologies only work “at scale”. Some things can be scaled down, but I don’t think that’s trivial.

How do you come to that conclusion about video distribution?

I’m not sure that it’s just that. In some ways, you have force multipliers that have multiple order effects. I’ll give two examples. One, food preservation. Food preservation has made it so we need to go to the grocery store far less. It’s

There’s also trickle down economics at work here. The rest of the industry got brotli and zstd for free. Every dwarf benefits.

Yeah, I think the best example is S3. Only when you have to hat much data with a Pareto access distribution can you do things like oversubscribe I/O a ton, or do clever encoding / compression schemes that wouldn’t make sense at th

When you have two systems that need to talk to each other, and one system expects the other system to be reliable, it’s difficult to completely toss out all graceful shutdown and handover. Usually this logic is handled at the service discov
