Reminds me of the Scan Processor Studies by Woody Vasulka & Brian O'Reilly. https://vimeo.com/7517418 Really eerie stuff.

Maybe the horrendous bug in the Xerox copiers that replaces letters and numbers with perfect looking different ones gave that brand the rest.

Was it limiting the testing in some way? In can't really imagine it was. Changing working things in a critical phase of the core business without reason does not seem like a good idea. I agree the setup seems bad and should be addresse

I just installed geli ZFS on the 3€ instance. It works nicely.

Thanks for the insight. The vpx runs were done on normal VMs. But I see that approaching a smaller runtimes, VMs are not economical. The theoretical bound of splitting the source material into 5s chunks and encoding them all in parallel is

Nice approach. I assume this can be adapted to run in a single process on a multi-core machine to increase parallelism. But... Why no comparison to the currently established approach of encoding chunks of 5sec/128frames, all in paralle

I wonder if this is useful on Windows too. The driver complexity could be reduced significantly and the quirks for games could be implemented in an industry shared dx2vulkan layer. Especially as newer games migrate to vulkan, the remaining

Intel a disincentive to be more advanced than a sufficient margin over the current competition. You saw the stagnation after Haswell.

:D I built myself an RSS Reader in Java too. Also with the crusty ROME toolkit and H2, but I made a simple UI in JavaFX.

Considering Intel is working on this for the last 6 months, it is indeed a little telling that they did not have the patch behind a feature flag. It also explains why AMD was so passive aggressive while inserting the exception for their CPU

Really interesting insight. It reminds me of a talk Bunnie Huang gave at the 30C3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruEn7TE4YMM https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3554

Could someone elaborate what specifically is meant with having high risk tolerances?

by ysleepy 9y ago
A generally interesting study subject. But it seems not quite thought through. Projects might only invest in unit tests once a project exceeds a certain complexity, or has seen refactorings with age which made the need for tests clear. I&#x

I remember soldering in new caps into a PIII Abit Mainboard that stopped working. Good times... (haha maybe not) But the issue was known to interested parties and generally publicised.

Sorry, but this does not contain any special insights. Reads like platitudes. My luke warm insights: - Stay fit, keep your back trained. - Mitigate risks to your mental well being - Socialize - Do the work - Take advantage of opportunities

It seems to be often the main database that on failure catches startups on the wrong foot. The GitLab incident comes to mind. The easiest way to run a database is to set it up as a SPoF. You want to be serious and set everything up with red

Hm, I didn't know that about enums. In the end it is just quibble about style anyway and one usually end up with what is measured faster in testing..

It depends. The table will reside in memory and it will just be a scan over a few bytes. Possibly cheaper than firing up the PL/pgSQL interpreter.

by ysleepy 9y ago
Cool trick. Should be an enum instead of text though. Also the transition table might be an actual SQL table as well instead of switch-cases in a function. - That way it remains a bit more declarative and you can do some meta-queries.

Why do in on human embryos instead of any other animal? At this stage, it must be for publicity reasons alone. Tasteless in my view.

This is the most annoying page design/behaviour I have encountered in the last 30 days. I am very curious, but I just can't.

It isn't. The OS is only mounting the flash writable on configuration changes. Hard rebooting it is expected and designed for.

Different authors and documents are considered part of the same domain since the tokens are just path elements. The whole IPFS gateway might be considered one big domain. So javascript in an essay can access/put the API. I didn't

Does it enforce Cross-Origin Policies? Since the addresses are just path components and not subdomains this may be an issue. It's just a feeling this might get relevant, especially with PUT/POST write API and so on. Even just runn

I deployed NFS/LDAP/KRB5 OpenSuSE at work with autoyast. Autoyast is the only automated installer thing that ever worked mostly as intended. Debian preseed is just horrible. Never tried kickstart though. The SuSE stuff is hairy an

Was importing the complete history tried during the development? This is very interesting. The git history will grow at break-neck speed and will reach similar size soon enough. Is this to delay the inevitable tech wrangling for dealing wit

What cipher block mode is used with SPECK? Block based disk encryption is complicated to get right due to replay attacks of blocks over time and IV issues. There are established best-practice compromises with AES, but I dont know if they ap

Hm, this paper is pretty obviously promoting Haskell. The main authors wrote the haskell variant, did not even execute the other prototypes and make conclusions without any sort of comparison except LOC. I like haskell, but this paper is do

It is an old concept used in most functional languages, like ML, haskell or even Prolog via unification. So not an invention of scala, only that is also lives on the JVM. http://wiki.c2.com/?PatternMatching
