   Thanks for satisfying my curiosity! Also, congrats on your success! > Yes, my user-facing servers are proxying the files to the users. I've never operated a service as large as yours, so take my question with a grain of salt: I&#x27

   Just so you know, on Firefox 92.0b7 the phone images won't load. Apparently the network request works fine, but when trying to view the image directly Firefox says that "The image <...> cannot be displayed because it contain

   You mention that you have user-facing servers as well as storage servers. So do the user-facing servers act as reverse proxies for the storage servers, or do you simply serve a redirect? I'd expect that the file access patterns are pow

   I think you're a little late to the party. JSON Schemas have been a thing for over 10 years now (source: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zyp-json-schema-... , see also https://json-schem

   Well, this is embarrassing. I'm using a small Rust example to make a point about C oddities, and then a Rust Core team member points out a syntax error in my example! In my defense, I'd say the return keyword - combined with the d

   I don't want to diminish your first impressions, however I think you might have misunderstood one or two points in that video. Perhaps I can clarify: Regarding 3/"everything is an expression": C does explicitly not have

   There are a few blog posts floating around that explain how to extract your iCloud CalDAV access credentials in order to add iCloud calendars to Thunderbird. Last I checked there is no nice GUI for setting that up, if that is what you'

   Could you elaborate on the low-latency part and the historical failure? I don't know a lot about Salesforce, so I'm not quite sure how they fit into FAANG.

    The 40 pins on the Pi are intended for GPIO and low-speed connectivity (SPI, I2C and friends). Unless I'm missing something, it is simply not feasible to use those GPIO ports for any high-speed interfaces for three reasons: 1. The pins

    Just a nitpick, but FYI: Thunderbird now has an integrated PGP implementation, but it does not use GnuPG (GPG). Rather they integrated another PGP implementation called RNP. The standard is called OpenPGP, PGP is the original (proprietary)

    Thanks, this is incredibly helpful! I was looking into org-mode a few years ago but ditched it because the only iOS app I could find at that time couldn't really sync with other devices without a lot of effort, and automatic, reliable

    I wrote up an edit for my comment but then barely missed the edit deadline, so I'll have to do it this way: I realized my comments on driver issues are a little snarky, sorry for that. Please ignore that part of my comment. Using more

    Except there is a widely accepted standard for binary application distribution: AppImage ( https://appimage.org/ ). It's a fire-and-forget solution: You download the AppImage and run it. No need to install anything. AppI

    I think you're looking for TAI. UTC = TAI + Leap Seconds (unless I'm missing some minor detail). You don't know how many seconds lie between arbitrary UTC timestamps in the future, but you do know how many seconds lie between

    To be fair, that would mean that your ability level is the median ability of the team you'd be joining, which doesn't sound all that far-fetched to me. If the skill level of new hires is always close to the median, the overall tea

    Just in case you didn't know, there is git add -p (or --patch) which does precisely what you want: It splits your changes into small parts ("hunks") and allows you to specify whether to stage every hunk. I don't know you

    I'd say that among pure functional programming languages (i.e. excluding Erlang, Scala and OCaml) Haskell is the language most suited for real-world usage. Yes, there is a lot of research being done on Haskell, but a lot of the researc

    This is my experience as well - when deciding whether to use a certain library or framework, I don't start reading the reference manual. Rather, I highly prefer looking at and tweaking existing examples, mostly to understand what the t

    I'm just going to ask this here since you seem to know your stuff: Just how do you learn such a multi-layer setup? I'm asking mostly from an initial productivity/motivation perspective: Right now I'm happily touch-typing

    In contrast to the current sibling replies, I think this is a very fitting categorization of documentation. Off the top of my head, I can think of several examples where one type of documentation is excellent but others are very lacking, fo

    Actually the development of Qucs is ongoing, it's just that they are a little late on making the jump from Qt 4 to Qt 5, so Qucs isn't in available in some distributions that removed Qt 4 at the moment (e.g. Arch).

    While you didn't refer to any explicit programming language (so your example is correct by definition), I think you may have mixed up something. The order is reversed, but typically not in the way you describe. For your example of f(g(

    I'm curious about the communication with the financial world you mention. Could you elaborate what kind of interface or API you're talking about, or at least which area of finance is involved?

    I agree that you could technically say the table of contents is an index (comparing it to a DB index), but because "index" also means something completely different in this context I would avoid using the term this way.
