Most mutexes implementations spin before truly acquiring the lock. Also, there are better spinlock implementations, such as speculative spinlocks, and queued locks.

Where did you see that "renewables are sorted out"? Or that windpower "doesn't need batteries as much as solar does". What if you don't have wind? Sun? Is that also sorted out?

I think the author is suggesting to cross the world figuratively, not literally. Crossing the world is exploring businesses, people, trends, culture. If you live in a big city, you can go around the world 10 times in a few miles.

When the accounts of our company started to be beyond the low 6 figures, we got upgraded by our bank to a different online banking system with a smartcard and a keypad for strong 2FA. Our admin team is informed every time someone logs in th

Absolutely, and, living in the US, I can tell you a lot of mineral water bottles are packaged in metric units (1 or 1.5L bottles).

I would refrain from doing this. The problem is that you may have the proper include, but may be using the wrong compiler. Additionally, you may need a specific version of the implementation of the header, not just the presence of the heade

Great post. It's important to be close to your customers. If your customers are in SF, then being in SF can make sense. Another reason why you may want to be in SF is you need access to SaaS veterans at the VP level. Having someone in

My understanding is that it just gives you a bit of extra room if you have a small to mild timeseries problem. That's still a lot of use cases, but you're right it will never work for larger use cases. They said they didn't w

I see mentions of gdb - an extremely cumbersome tool - no mention of Visual Studio and its marvelous debugger. I too, when I'm on Linux, don't use a debugger, because there's no good debugger and adding a print statement is f

Thanks for the feedback. How is TimescaleDB doing with compression by the way? Meaning if you compare your raw data and the disk usage, what's the ratio?
136.
by shin_lao 7y ago
From what you're writing it seems TimescaleDB doesn't really solve large timeseries problems. So it looks like more a good transitory solution than a definitive solution. Is that correct?

I tasted the impossible burger a while ago and was underwhelmed by the taste. In NY we had bareburgers that provided us with the impossible before BK. It's better than a typical veggie burger for sure but will definitely not choose it

It's not just about making it hard to function in society, it's also preventing these people from achieving their goals and being happy (whatever happy is for them). Usually you can spot a personality disorder objectively if the p

It's absolutely a normal behavior for a stock to go down post IPOs. Can be so many things, from people selling stocks they had for a long time, people who just speculated on the opening and are cashing in, or just because today it&#x27

The aircraft is likely to be very capable and since it embeds so much new technology delays and problems are not something surprising. Most of the negative coverage is more around that such very expensive aircraft (and program) may not be t

My comment was that PTP is a much better protocol than NTP, and in the doc they only talk about NTP: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/deploy/checklist/#clock-syn... https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

These kind of hashes are used for hash tables, where you want a good compromise between speed and low collision probability. They can also be used as checksums to detect accidental data modification. They are not meant for cryptographically

From what I see Farmhash is still faster on IA32/AMD64 architectures (although they need to leverage the AES instruction for that, granted).

I have a very different experience, I have only a couple of spams that don't end up in the spam folder. I do get promotional emails but when you unsubscribe they don't come back. I use Office 365 and Gmail. Both do a good job.

It's indeed going to be very, very, hard to retrofit a package manager into C++. You could structure something around CMake. One immediate issue is compilation flags and platforms management. You may need to use some custom flags, for
