Well sheep have been herded by dogs for millennia and I think it's pretty rare that they actually hurt any sheep.

Interesting, here in Germany peeled potatoes are pretty much unheard of and only available in jars which are super rare.

German here, it depends on the chain of super market and some other factors but multi-use Coca Cola bottles are definitely still a thing.

Afaik they get per unit royalties too

The deal was made several years ago, they are just starting production now

To me one of the most valuable parts of docker is almost never mentioned. The fact that a Dockerfile exactly describes the steps necessary to get from a fresh OS image to a working instance of whatever you're containerizing is one of t

I suspect it's actually their contracts with music producers and large content providers that forced YouTube to implement these filters.

Well it is guided all the way but yes, it's pretty amazing

But wouldn't that use a non spinning OS lock. I.e. the scheduler knows which threads are waiting on the accept and can randomly pick one to directly wake up?

That's why the Boring company vehicles are more like cars and you'd enter them while on the surface from which they'd use an elevator to get underground. Also they wouldn't block the rail while waiting at a station. Subw

I don't know about thinking. A lot of people thought about landing orbital rocket stages, during the last 70 years of rocket technology. Yet it's only been done by SpaceX a startup everyone laughed at with the argument that obvi

I wish Google, Apple and Microsoft just worked as an alliance here. They are all working on TLS and if together they deployed TLS 1.3 no middlebox on earth would stand a chance.

But that really isn't the metric you actually care about. The only things that matter is distance tunneled per time and that the resulting tunnel can handle your transport needs. Musks believe is that the transport needs can be handled
74.
by spacenick88 8y ago
I think Musks main idea is that everyone else is drilling tunnels with larger diameter than necessary and that drilling scales badly with tunnel diameter. Also he probably thinks that SpaceX material tech and brunt force can make it faster.

What I don't get is why Google really bothers with middleboxes, if a business deploys them and then gets shut off from Google services the admins won't take long to find and disable that middlebox. And if they don't they go b

Well if we reach Mars in the next <100 years it surely won't be gone. If we can reach it while it's still operating that would be astonishing though.

Afaik not, at least on Linux the mitigations are turned on as needed by CPU ID data

I keep wondering if there are some gains left by dropping the x86 legacy baggage e.g. using RISC-V or ARM64. It seems that there should be some loss due to x86 weirdness and past compromises

Well Xbox One and Playstation are holding up pretty well and there are millions of units to try stuff on and they need low per-unit cost so can't even use more expensive anti-tempering stuff

Interesting you mention Israel, I feel like they might be the prime example for your theory. They are small and not wealthier than say France or Germany. However they do have enormous IT talent and even more importantly their IT talent is m

But since they need to be GDPR compliant there needs to be a way to export those and I'd think there probably is already.

and since the standard library includes a parser for go you don't even need to do it textually

Well that's the beauty of git, as long as anyone anywhere has a checkout of the Repository nothing will be lost. If tags are GPG signed you don't even have to put any trust in the surviveing source. That said for mantained code 99

I'm not super familiar with GitLab besides self hosted instances. Even then I prefer the simplicity of gogs. So what do you feel are still be innovations GitLab has but GitHub lacks?

Not really, when the embedded database is allowed to run its own threads and network connections embedding something like etcd makes perfect sense. It removes the failure modes of the client connection and simplifies deployment.

by spacenick88 8y ago
Then again embedded databases are a great building block for things like etcd. It also might even make sense to have something like this in process because that would remove quite a few failure modes coming from the client connection and si

That paper sounds like problems that can not be worked around in software and need hardware fixes?

Have a look at Talos II, it's using POWER9 with completely open firmware
