Wealthfront is great as well. The projections are far better than anything else I've seen.

To be more clear, the unfortunately part was due to the title of this article. I think awk is great, but if you know perl well enough it can easily replace it and be much more versatile

Unfortunately, for large files perl is significantly faster than awk. I was working on some very large files doing some splitting, and perl was over an order of magnitude faster.

I have a really old Nexus 6p. I'm definitely willing to help, but I bet it's just part of having a really old phone.

This site seems to lock up my phone, but desktop is fine. Anyone else have that issue?

No questions, but really enjoyed your blog, and your comments on this website over the past few years.

Third time I'm saying this, but starlink is not for consumers. It's not a "cheaper" alternative to your current ISP. None of your comment is based on any of the information put out by SpaceX.

Starlink is not for consumers, so you cannot get it anyways. It's for enterprise at this point.

What is the SpaceX constellation enabling that others aren't? Hint: theirs is not for consumers.

Sorry to hear that, but hope you find something you like just as much.

I can't speak for everyone, but ARM processors may be cheaper for some types of workloads. In terms of cores/$, they're cheaper, but some applications would perform far worse on those than on x86. Others just want to use them

Here's the way I see it: there are a lot of customers who don't need all of the AWS services. They also would prefer to be running on bare metal for performance reasons, and to have slightly more control over their application. I

I believe their pricing model was cheaper than any of the major cloud providers for an equivalent compute and networking resources. Given that their margins are also lower due to the volumes, I wouldn't think that it's obvious tha

I think the responder was questioning the phrase about packet asking about the customer VMs. You can certainly run VMs on top of bare metal, but packet doesn't know about that.

It seems they are in the process of open sourcing their deployment software. Does anyone know how this affects that? The github repos are still empty.

How do you know they're profitable?

Sorry about that. Can you explain the problems using the extender?

Giving someone advice to use Nomad is bad advice as well. As much as it may not be a personal choice, k8s won by a long shot. You just can't rely on Nomad being around in 2 years, but k8s will surely be around.

You're saying a feature that's in alpha , released 2 months ago is painful? You should at least wait until a feature is beta until expecting it to be easier to use.

I believe there's only a PDF version, and the author encourages you to print it. It's a monumental effort to make that kind of book, so it's pretty amazing he released it free.

I feel like every comment here simply read the title, and not even skimmed the book. This is a book about extreme low-level optimizations in concurrency. It's a poor title for this kind of book since it seems like it's a beginner

Parallel programming is not hard if you follow the "just use a mutex and you avoid race conditions" mantra. However, this book dives deep into what mutexes actually do, what the hardware below is doing, and alternatives to a mutex

I'd suggest this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/10/two-minute-mayon... If you have an immersion blender, it takes literally 2 minutes, and is fool-proof. Doing it other ways, such as ma

Yeah, I suppose that's a valid use case. Things like ixia need to be fpga-based to measure absolute latency without any uncertainty. You cannot currently get that with enough flexibility in commodity cards.

I believe they are doing 100Gbps now: https://t.co/cbb7NA9vJf?amp=1 It's hard for me to see the use case of an FPGA nic. The reasons outlined above don't seem compelling when a commodity nic like mellanox do so mu

I think by the definition I was using, data dependency ordering is preserving order on a single thread. All GPUs I'm aware of enforce this.

Alpha is also unique in that it's the only architecture that doesn't preserve data dependency ordering.
