The big question, the only question that really matters at this point, is will the Russian military remain loyal? If they don't then it's all over for Putin.

This is off the hook. @mysaigin says the AN-24 shoot down is old... oh well. If nothing else Putin's prerogatives just experienced a sudden realignment. Going to be hard to continue prosecuting the Ukraine invasion.

Yes, it would mitigate the TLB problem. Interesting that Oracle is also looking to solve this problem, but not by multithreading the Oracle RDBMS.

This is good advice. The worst failure mode in one of these receivers is repairing or replacing the transformers . Tubes are easy, if sometimes expensive. But the transformers are frequently specific to a manufacturer or model. The main

As does Oracle, and others. I'm aware. IPC, to me, includes the conventional shared memory resources (memory segments, locks, semaphores, condition variable, etc.) used by these systems: resources acquired by processes for the purpose

Both, I'd imagine. With regard to client compatibility there are related precedents for this already; the PostgreSQL wire protocol has emerged as a de facto standard. Cockroachdb and ClickHouse are two examples that come to mind.

That's a compelling question. So much so that I imagine someone has already investigated this. I might go seek out such work, but whatever I find is likely to already be out of date... Interesting times.

Agreed. I have no respect for the concern trolling about whatever hypothetical damage this supposedly does. If the Rust 'community' is so fragile that this toy fork is an actual problem then there is something fundamentally brok

Is there evidence that any amount of "sensor help" can somehow overcome the lack of a limited "brain"?

The most common impedance in actual practice for the sort of transmission line you have in mind is 75 ohms, not 50. Most of the cable TV network, and thus cable Internet, runs on this. That's why RG-6 and RG-11 grows on trees. There

Indeed. The difference isn't the type of sensor. This oft repeated argument that Tesla's problems are down to a lack of LIDAR doesn't add up.

Unfortunately that's not the case. There are other devices (heaters, AC, etc.) that need power at different voltages than the primary battery, so there are switching converters. Some of those are rather noisy. One of the many youtub
