I actually felt like writing it first[0], feel free to take inspiration from it. [0] https://www.fer.xyz/2021/11/software-kintsugi

I actually had 3 of these with PII 300MHz @ 450MHz running OpenMOSIX. Good times.

I call it software kintsugi[0]. https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/kintsugi/

Exactly. Here we crunch loads of data, and by a lot, I mean our production databases run on a three digit cluster of four digit terabytes of data. Good luck having that scale in pr…

Yes, but more processes means more memory footprint, almost 4 times as much in that benchmark, something the author didn't cover. Threading solves that, but it's way more prone to …

It's not significantly faster (or slower), it's the author that doesn't know how to run a benchmark. You can read my take on his take [0]. Leaving that aside, async is very advisab…

Yeah, but this scale of documentation production is unprecedented. A lot of cash was dumped into fast and extensive R&D, trials and production scaling because of the urgency of the…

Ironically, if the FDA could deliver those documents "in time" it would be a sign of a pretty limited trial, and people would be complaining about that instead. Damned if you do, d…

Critical mass. FB groups are a dumpster fire for topic discussions, but the fact that they're just there means loads of communities end up there anyway.

Reviewing/analysing data and filtering it are dramatically different tasks. With raw data, most of the heavy lifting is done by your data analysis stack, you don't crunch numbers y…

Spain is a funny one. The Community of Madrid is the succession tax haven of the country, so loads of people go live there their last years so their families aren't taxed on the in…

The only justified situation I can find is when you are working on two (or more) independent components at the same time. My pain point in particular with PYTHONPATH (or playing wi…

This is my decision flow and I rarely have an issue: Are you the end user of the Python code? Yes -> Is available in your distro? Yes->Use package manager No->Use pip install in us…

> Their total liabilities are on the order of $300 billion ~300 billion is the size of their debt (485 at the end of H1 2021). Their assets are at +2 trillion, +1 trillion in real …

Not parent, but aside from the novelty factor: For small scale energy production small VAWTs [0] are relatively cheap, they offer more W/m2, and they are much more easily serviceab…

I hate Gitter with a passion. It's indexed, but it's chat after all, meaning it's painful to read as there are multiple conversations going on, and whatever you're looking for need…

The article links to literature about it being a nocebo effect. Do you have literature pointing in another direction?

Asus Zenbooks have always been solid on Linux for me, using them since they came out. Typing this on a UM425.

> It was slower with the fewer threads, and giving it more threads made it even slower. Celebrating this as awesome efficiency is..."interesting". With 1 to 4 process increase in 4…

> Benchmark > Uses a VPS Not saying the results are wrong (though for client side code my experience is very different), but that's not really a good start.

Personally we don't use it in my org, and the mix of on-prem Kubernetes and GKE is just a shitshow. I recently started learning Nomad, and Nomad (+ Terraform for cloud) is the only…

Since when are graphics cards registered?

Not a design/advertising guy, but often times I think it's to be able to display an ad at the bottom without the user to fully read the article, and without putting it ahead of the…

Without giving much detail, where I work many accounts from different businesses aren't linked... in customer facing systems. But internally everything is linked, and well linked (…
