YMMV. Garbage-collected/pointer-chasing languages suffer more from swapping because they touch more of the heap all the time. AWS suffers more from swap because EBS is ridiculously slow and even their instance-attached NVMe is capped c

Before you can have complex drivers you need the interface layer that the drivers are built on. The RfL project works on that, upstreaming more infrastructure work until there's enough to submit a complex driver. Redhat is working on n

So, what if I told you that some humans have been vat-grown without brains and had a silicon brain emulator inserted into their skulls. Are they p-zombies? Would you demand x-rays before talking to anyone? What would you use then to determi

How do you tell the difference in other humans? Do you just believe them because they claim to be conscious instead of pointing a calibrated and certified consciousness-meter at them?

The chatbot focus may be a news/accessibility bias. Take a look at deepmind's research blog to see applications in more areas.

What I'm saying is that "building for 1000TPS" is not what gets you an overengineered 5-layer microservice architecture. If you build for a good user experience (which includes low latency) you get that not-that-big scale wit

1000TPS isn't that much? Engineer for low latency and with a 10ms budget that'd be 10 cores if it were CPU-bound, less in practice since usually part of the time is spent in IO wait.

It has improved security, but it has made it less durable. Hosts now need constant maintenance to keep up with changes to TLS policies, certificate renewal protocols and so on.

To get fine-grained caching you need to use cache-mounts, not just cache layers. But the cache export doesn't include cache mounts, therefore the docker github action doesn't export cache mounts to the CI cache. https:/&#x2F

It's not a signal, no. If you're good at forecasting but don't have a crystal ball then you'll overestimate on some years and underestimates on others, averaging out. And the budget-burning shows that this encourages mak

Rather than adding friction there is something else that could benefit from having as little friction as sharing code: publishing audits/reviews.

On most filesystems close(2) is nearly a noop, so even if you surfaced errors from close it returning successfully would not guarantee an absence of errors. close without fsync (or direct IO) essentially is telling the OS that you don'
