The 1k packets you saw probably correspond to the default block size being used for the DB, that is a vestige of using spinning disks. That you were using NFS or any kind of networ…

It's a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile-guided_optimization

Imagine an OS specific bug that could lead to failure. Now imagine you're using that single OS everywhere.

In my experience RHEL has been better at backporting patches and maintaining a relatively stable kernel. This means that third-party software that targeted it is more likely to wor…

Interesting point about raw Li-ion cells - sounds like the result of the exploding hoverboard fiasco years ago(?). Another unfortunate "feature" was that the device refused to be p…

Not long ago the battery on my Dymo 280 died and was pretty surprised to find that the cost of replacing it (~$30) was about the same as I paid for the product. The battery consist…

This is generally my sentiment as well. The reason to avoid using goto is if it makes following the flow of execution for us humans difficult, which typically happens when jumping …

Does it replicate the same kind of "evil" bugs as in the article, or does it provide an improvement?

This is also my thinking, and doesn't seem too implausible given that the dosage is so much higher than Pfizer (100mcg vs 30mcg). My relatives who got Moderna had similar reports t…

ICC like many commercial compilers used the EDG front-end, not their own.

Was there anything you did that helped you get better?

Your last point about career development is an interesting one that comes up. If you are remote but your co-workers are interacting in person I can see how there would be an inform…

Atlassian does not provide particularly good guidance on how to get their tools to perform well. The first big issue for any moderately busy system is that you need to dedicate hug…

Yup. If you look at the end of the 'changes' link[1] you'll see individual bugzilla links for issues (or PRs as they call them) that were resolved in a given point release. [1] htt…

They misspoke - it's the cloud version they got rid of.

Of the CI tools I've used (most of them) TeamCity was my personal favorite--but the advantage of Jenkins is that it's very widely used, has a greater breadth of capabilities due to…

What were the reasons for being rejected?

... And frequently they won't give you a price even if you ask what it costs upfront.

Yeah - along with a lot of eggs, cheese, and nuts.

As far as I can tell they all work (N=1 and all that), so I'd say that whatever you find easier to actually do is what you should do - just keep it up as often as you can over time…

Nowadays I mostly just do OMAD (one-meal-a-day) or close to it (eating window is about 1-3 hours) as it's simpler. Initially some will power was needed to stop myself from snacking…

About 3 years ago (late 2015 now) I was quite overweight, had a knee injury that limited my mobility (stairs mostly) and had a fasting glucose and post-meal readings that indicated…

If there are no children involved, none of the current onerous obligations and financial ruin should apply. The government should not be able to intervene and ruin one persons life…

At my university it was the same, but this (second) class has become an optional elective that is cross-listed with the Computer Engineering major and no longer required. So, most …
