It's a cluster size of n replicas, with one of the n being the (current) leader. f failures with f+1 replicas is a cluster size of n replicas can sustain n-1 failures. n=f+1 or f=n-1. You wanna be able to sustain f failures, you need

This interview makes no sense. She rambles on for a few minutes about the text of the plans and doing further investigation into the text of the plans. Then lists all the things that make 15 minute cities desirable. This is all so dumb. P

They had no back up, so reverted to cash only. Cash is a back up, and probably one of the most robust back ups possible in the event of a technology failure. It is, however, unfortunate that many customers have given up having more than

Oh, sorry, I'm not trying to contradict what you said, rather support and offer a (perhaps different) angle or detail. Dealing with criminals is just an example. The same applies for the desire to form or not form a society. As for &

I never understood why "nobody could be blamed for their actions" is some kind of argument against determinism. Neither the perpetrator of the act nor the punisher can choose. Why does the punisher exist outside the deterministic

memcpy argument order matches the left-to-right arrangement of assignment. lhs=rhs is rhs is copied to lhs. memcpy(lhs,rhs) is the contents at rhs is copied to lhs.

no more back-and-forths over design nuances, missed deadlines, or creative blocks. This evoked, for me, the "can I get the icon on cornflower blue" scene in Fight Club. How much of this reduction in back-and-forth is influenced

Seems like a pretty good deal for the school. They need to run to kinko's to print out a fake degree (that says right on it that it's fake), and spend 20 minutes listening to a blowhard pontificate. I'd do that for a few mil

There's a lot wrong or at least weirdly described in the symlink entry. > symlink(oldpath, newpath) operates very much like link(2) but creates a symbolic link at a new inode rather than a hard link to the same inode. This is a re

Our machine learning model used an ensemble of random forest and logistic regression models to predict a paper’s likelihood of replication based on the paper’s text. This reads like a description of phrenology.

The Internet has no easy to use fully-anonymous cash equivalent. If you pay for something, you're giving away your identity information anyway. The value exchange is definitely lopsided, but if I have to share my identity AND pay to ge

On top of that, what's the method to keep "errors" from compounding? It also seems like the capabilities of the trained model would approach an asymptote that is the limit of the training model, and never pass it.

Even with that command line, shell history needs to be disabled, or the shell needs to be configured to filter when it saves history (for example, the bash ignorespace HISTCONTROL option is useful here). This is, of course, shell specific
