It reminds me of that Frank MacSherry paper[1]... [1] "Scalability! But at what COST?"

Ender's game.

Good thing I stockpiled on Planck boards. All good things have an end I guess.

I have the exact same experience with an EX30. Their entire line of full EVs is a disaster. I will never buy a Volvo again.

I find rongorongo a lot easier to read [1]. I wish kindle would support that layout mode, I could easily double my reading speed. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rongorongo

I had a similar experience with HardCaml back in 2015/2016. The benefits where overwhelming: higher productivity, higher reusability, less intractable bugs, tighter TTM, and no mor…

I believe he means that by better understanding the tools, one better understands the trade.

Either your promotion is made of geniuses or as @sk5t said your GPA is indeed meaningless.

Wikileaks believed at the time that Clinton was ready to send a drone to get rid of Assange. Between due process and a drone attack, I take due process any day.

You may be right about the DE -> Fellow promotion, although I only heard of it once, and that person was pretty spectacular. The Fellow -> DE path is unheard of. As is the RSM -> D…

The IBM ranks are inaccurate. Fellows are not above DEs. Both are the highest ranks indeed, but of two different tracks. DE is the highest rank of the engineering track, while Fell…

Yes they are.

I was in undergrad and grad school in Grenoble where I had F. Maraninchi and P. Caspi as teachers for the synchronous programming and VLSI classes (embedded system track). We did a…

The ordinance of Villers-Coterets[1] was limited to legal documents, whereas the efforts led during the Terror were aimed at eradicating local languages[2], seen as so many shackle…

It certainly is not "the French". It's the "French Republic". Local dialects lived happily in France for over a Millennia under the Monarchy. The French dialect, mostly spoken in t…

Niklaus Wirth is one of those unsung geniuses of computer science. He invented Pascal, the Modulas, Oberon ... Then he woke up one morning wanting to reboot his life's work for his…

Re: your clipboard issues, which platform are you running on? I am using vim+iTerm2 on OSX and vim+st on OpenBSD and the clipboard integration works flawlessly.

You should probably substantiate such a bold claim with a few comparative examples. I have yet to encounter a situation where vim doesn't "just work".

If you are referring to "Advances in Networking, part 1" [0], the material used is a little thin to draw any conclusion regarding their user-space TCP/IP design. [0] https://devstr…

This implementation looks a lot like HW TCP offload engines where the kernel handles session creation and termination and the HW takes care of most of the state machine. Apple then…

It's only for datagrams, apparently.
