My ISP blocks port 25, 80 and 443, so need to tunnel those. Some don't want to expose their IP directly. If you have dynamic IP you don't have to update the IP in DNS (since the "application" connects to the tunnel endpo

That would make the locked time shorter, but it would still contend on the global lock, right?

It's annoying, around 10 years ago 10gbps was just starting to become more and more standard on bigger NAS, and 10gbps switches were starting to get cheaper, but then 2.5GbE came out and they all switched to that.

Just noticed the physics simulator at the top is interactive. Then I was stacking squares on top of each other to see how tall I could make it, and started throwing things at it angry birds style. Fun stuff.

That would be assuming they knew there was a bug in that particular part of the code, which they probably didn't, until Windows 11 24H2. And unfortunately Valgrind doesn't work on windows.

Still isn't available for windows from what I gather.

fmod takes in the order of 30+ cycles, probably more in year 2003 CPUs, vs 1 for cmp, 1 for sub, 1 for jmp.

I tried to use Valgrind to catch pretty much this exact bug 20 years ago, and it was nigh impossible. If you call any 3rd party code it'll have flag tens of thousands of false positives that you have to sift through. And that was on a

It was much faster than Firefox, that's why I switched. It could handle more tabs. It isolated tabs so if one crashed it didn't crash the whole browser. Memory usage was lower. I wouldn't call any of those "marketing&quo

My problem with turning it of is that if you _do_ want to watch the preview it's very cumbersome. Clicking on it goes to the movie/episode. So to get to the preview you have to go to the list of Episodes, scroll down (and try not

You can do the same with time though, just return a predefined sequence of timestamps.

One interesting thing about S3 is the vast scale of it. E.g. if you need to store 3 PB of data you might need 150 HDDs + redundancy, but if you store it on S3 it's chopped up and put on tens of thousands of HDDs, which helps with IOPS

We did a very similar thing in a previous project. Used protostuff to serialize each object, and snappy at the time to compress it. And a small proxy class to access it that decompressed on demand. Costs a few microseconds on read, but save

You can do the same with `cp -c` on macOS, or `cp --reflink=always` on Linux, if your filesystem supports it.

The old system was horrible though, you had to sue to get compensation, and could get sued for a fender-bender. The old system was _great_ for lawyers.
