I don’t quite follow how this is different. When I got rsu’s at my former company they sold a bunch at every vest date to pay for taxes. Isn’t that the same as what they’re talking about here?

If the robots could somehow experience pain I think that would be a good motivator. It certainly keeps me from doing stupid stuff :-)

Awesome. Sorry I should’ve dug a little deeper before commenting. Nice job on the multithreading also!

For the benchmarks did you clear the page cache inbetween runs? It’s crazy fast and seems a little suspect

This is prob a silly idea but is there any way to harness this cosmic radiation that is bombarding the chip? Cosmic rays are high energy particles. Surely we can do something with that right?

I'm surprised they didn't take any hourly backups.

The way they describe the properties of it make it sound like a superconductor. Am I missing something?

I managed to get a plugin working in Rust for Ceph but unfortunately realized that Ceph namespaces the IO. This won't do what I want it to but maybe it'll give others some ideas :)

After checking out the blog post https://engineering.pinterest.com/blog/tracker-ingesting-mys... I thought it would be interesting to see what happens if I converted their NullEscape.c program to Rust. The results wer

I agree with the others here. I like rust the way it is and I think it's fine to leave it alone :)

It sounds like etcd is in the I/O path. Is that correct?

I don't understand why this is being used over say librados + librbd from Ceph. This seems like an awful lot of work to get the same functionality that Gluster/Ceph already have. Is there something I'm missing here?

I hope they're planning on taking TPS or true potato seeds with them. You could fit a million true potato seeds in a small pouch and you'd be set for a long time :)

I planted about 50 fruit trees and bushes when I moved into my new place. I also converted the electric to 100% renewable. Other than dumping my natural gas heater I'm not sure what's left that I can do to help reduce climate chan

I haven't had much trouble growing skirret. It sprouts well from seed with a little bottom heat. I haven't tasted the roots yet. I'm hoping they're as good as I've read about
