That makes a lot more sense then. It's still a misleading statement to say "writes" vs "transactions" since you could (potentially) make fewer writes and support more transactions. The ratio between the two is a mea

by web007 10y ago
This description is very misleading. 120,000 writes per second is accurate, talking about actual durable storage (disk) writes. But it's only 3,330 transactions, which should be the number that a user cares about. I don't have pro

AWS status page is a point of contention within the support teams as well. I've contacted them for problems when the status page says "everything's fine" and they have known outages. There is ALWAYS a lag between them kn

Are multi-GPU systems worth it until you have a TON of experience building parallel models? Almost all of the reference architectures I've seen are essentially serial, and TF doesn't have good data-parallelism built in to make use

You are probably seeing the color management of monitor 1 in effect on monitor 2 while the window is less than halfway. Once it goes above half then monitor 2's color management takes over fully and it disappears.

Exactly this. Audits don't care if there isn't any practical malware or if nobody can access the system outside 3306 and 22. Audits say "all production systems implement antivirus software" as a binary checkbox.

Thought this was FreightFarms from the description. I haven't seen the important details on either side, but it seems a lot easier to guarantee yields and more automated / automate-able by FF than by DIY farm-in-a-box.

Are there any public "skewing" NTP pools that distribute the leap seconds as lag / gain over 24 or 48 hours as some of the large providers do? That seems to be the generally accepted answer to leap-second chaos, and certainly

I've generally used MakeMKV to get from protected-source to open-copy, but still as MPEG-2 streams without any loss / transcoding. That's not what you'd use as an archivist - you would want something that does structure-

Onr of the main points of arithmetic coding is that you don't have to do a frequency count first like you would for Huffman. It's efficient enough that you can build your model piecewise as you go, and only sacrifice a few bits of

Spotting competence is different from filtering incompetence. I can tell in 15 minutes if someone is clueless, but it takes a long time to establish if a candidate is just above that threshold or truly exceptional.

I can create a PR, get it reviewed / approved, then change 100% of the underlying code and still merge it. Having required reviews is a step in the right direction, but not quite good enough to work as a proper code review / signo

Who finds actual value from Net Promoter Score? It's a vanity metric, just like asking "would you pay $10 for this?" instead of getting someone to actually pay $10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_Promo
