> This leads to authors having to re-explain their thinking in detail, covering points that they’d omitted for brevity or because they are obvious to those with a good understanding of the problem. There's nothing wrong with this. B

My take is that an RFC should be very early in the engineering process, like as part of a proof of concept phase, and should not block progress towards completing a design proposal. The design proposal should list any legitimate alternative

That's an unsatisfying answer. I have some work to do if I want to understand it.

What a timely article and comment. I've been watching a lecture series over the last few days about quantum mechanics and the many worlds interpretation. And I have questions. I may have missed it or didn't understand it when I he

Double slit experiment has been done with electrons which are, afaik, much easier to detect and send single file. It's been done with molecules. It's not a thought experiment. Quantum superposition is real. There's no doubt a

I was a windows guy at a large auction site and started bringing linux in to my workflows and solutions. I'd already been gaining personal experience with linux and the BSDs, solaris, etc. That was my last "windows job." I&#x

It's difficult to quantify the value of "I know the shit out of linux" to a prospective employer when they're looking for cog developer #471. In my experience it's the network of people you've worked with that

I've made quite a career out of knowing how linux works and not reinventing the wheels it provides. I read man pages. I sometimes run `systemctl list-unit-files` and say, "hmm what is that??" then go find out what it is. I&#x

In my experience - Try to find a way to not go to the meeting. Anything you say, especially the most insignificant part, will be used against _someone_ in an argument that doesn't make any sense. You're going to feel the need to c

If I'm smart, I certainly don't feel like it. I can tell you I do not enjoy thinking. I hate it. It is a compulsion that I cannot avoid. I know that it makes most interactions in my life more difficult. I know it's a source o

Sometimes I start thinking our brains work the same way as an LLM does when it comes to language processing. Are we just using probability based on what we already know and the context of the statement we're making to select the next f

Then the author should have gone on to discuss not just the implementation they now have to maintain, but also all the client implementations they'll have to keep re-creating for their custom solution. Or they could talk about all the

I'm highly skeptical of the method employed to simulate unsync'd writes in that example. Using a non-clustered zookeeper and then just shutting it down, breaking the kafka controller and preventing any kafka cluster state manageme

by uberduper 11mo ago
I've never looked at redpanda, but kafka absolutely does not. Kafka uses mmapped files and the page cache to manage durable writes. You can configure it to fsync if you like.

It seems like their point was to criticize people for using new tech instead of hacking together unscalable solutions with their preferred database.

Has this person actually benchmarked kafka? The results they get with their 96 vcpu setup could be achieved with kafka on the 4 vcpu setup. Their results with PG are absurdly slow. If you don't need what kafka offers, don't use it

Niri convinced me Scrolling is The Way. I really want windows to be able to span columns. So if I have 1 column with two windows and focus on the bottom window then create a new window/column to the right, I want that new window to be

As far as I understand it, it's not just that they need for no American citizen to take the job. They need for no American citizen to apply for it.

It wasn't till I quit nicotine that I began to struggle with undiagnosed adhd. I wish there was a way to make nicotine safe and non-addictive. I think it was far more effective to spike my nicotine level and tackle a task than adderall

I've only used it for testing/debugging so I didn't need any of that capability. I'm not sure why they recommend avoiding exec in the config. Since it would still be under the same user session, dbus things could get won

I'm probably not thinking about your use case the same way you are, but it seems like you could run a nested hyprland session in a 1920x1080 window and screenshare just the nested hyprland window. Run the apps you want to share inside

It's not an article about competition. Forcing nixos in to any linux relevant discussion is a bit awkward, yea?

Similar, but no. Our display used parallel wires that spanned the width of the display as cathodes. In front of that were positively charged "gating wires" that also spanned the width of the display. Then on glass, a laser etched

I worked at a company in the late 90s that was developing a thin flat panel "CRT" display. Crazy how long ago the CRT was invented.

My point is that by letting the customer define the solution rather than explain the problem, nobody knows they're even trying to hold it upside down. The why of it all is lost in some PM / Engineer power struggle that usually res
