Polling is the way to go, but it's also very tricky to get right. In particular, it's non-trivial to make a reliable queue that's also fast when transactions are held open and vacuum isn't able to clean tuples. E.g. &quo

The publishers can't entirely do the storage themselves since the whole point of CT is that they can't retract anything. If they did their own storage, they could rollback any change. Even if the log forms a verification chain, th

I think we can blame the court for this one. "Using" means using. It's not specific, but the court reinterpreted it to be more specific for some reason. It's essentially impossible to write a statute to defend against th

I'm sympathetic to this knowing how few people actually read their emails (and slacks etc.). If you've ever sent out a 30 second survey to your coworkers, you know what I'm talking about. But I also know people don't rea

I think this is clearly a case of over fitting and failure to generalize, which are really well understood concepts. We don't have to philosophize about what pattern matching really means.

The link has no theory for how it runs models at one tenth the cost and doesn't mention anything like that.

After a brief skim, it looks like this implementation is highly optimized for throughput and broadcasts whereas a channel has many other usecases. Consumers subscribing to the same event type are placed in a group. There is a single lock fo

Wouldn't a body essentially freeze dry as a wet being exposed to vacuum? I.e. the temperature of the space is still irrelevant and the cooling comes from vaporization.

I think they skipped over a non-obvious motivating example too fast. On first glance, commenting out your CI test suite would be very bad to sneak into a random PR, and that review note might be justified. I could imagine the situation migh

Nearly every global outage at Google has looked vaguely like this. I.e. a bespoke system that rapidly deploys configs globally gets a bad config. All the standard tools for binary rollouts and config pushes will typically do some kind of gr

You can deduct 100% of salaries paid 5 years ago, but only 20% of salaries last year (etc.), and since companies tend to hire more people over time, most of your expenses will have been in the last few years that are still amortizing. You m

Google docs has gotten a little better in that time, but it's honestly surprisingly unchanged. I think what really changed is that we all stopped wanting to layout docs for printing and became happier with the simpler feature set (alon

It's not clear to me that fine-tuning is even capex. If you fine tune new models regularly, that's opex. If you mean literally just the GPUs, you would presumably just rent them right? (Either from cloud providers for small runs o

I think this also requires user (i.e. unprivileged) namespaces since you have to manipulate traffic control queue disciplines (tc qdisc). You normally need to be root to do this, so it's only useful as an escalation if you can do it wi

Note that this workload is a worst case for iops and you will get higher iops in nearly any optimized workload. E.g. postgres needs to sync the WAL in order to commit (which does look like this test), but there are a ton of other writes tha

You can also "soft"-shard your read replicas. I.e. each replica has still has all the data, but you still direct queries to specific replicas as if they were sharded. We had success with this since each replica can have a high cac

The two problems are highly related, which is why it can do both. At the end of the algorithm, you have a per-pixel assignment of the (approximately) closest seed pixel. If you want a voronoi diagram, then you color each pixel according to
