Maybe A Deepness in the sky, from this author? The hero saves the day by hacking old routines lying in the depth of the ship systems.

I think you simply missed my point twice. >> "Some external circumstances could change reducing them to a pile of oxides" (or some other transformations I guess in case of fire.) T…

For the majority of life existence as we know it (meaning, a proton gradient separated by a membrane), living systems were immortal. Some external circumstances could change reduci…

Sure, it's definitely not the same. I would not think of someone not believing the most extreme predictions to be a skeptic. What I call climate change skeptics are people playing …

This website is a pathetic example of cherry-picked and misrepresented data. No surprise coming from climate change deniers. Hacker News always had a pretty high number of such peo…

I mean yes that's a weird take, why would MacOS be considered first? I have a Mac provided by my company. None of my development tools are available there, profiling, debugging is …

Entropy does not drive the creation of life. Life appears in spite of the 2nd law. The context in which it appears means that life orders its context, so 'feeds off' low entropy. B…

I would tend to agree. This article conveniently designs its benchmark to be exactly when open addressing would work. In almost all of the maps implementations I have used so far, …

> Will you call all of those people myopic for pursuing a richer life, as well? Definitely. People living in the US are not the most happy on Earth. Life is not the easiest there. …

> And I think they have a point. They may have a point, that won't change the reality of the situation: letting them do exactly what the developed countries did, will kill them. Th…

We are supposed to stop designing cities around cars, yes.

Networking stacks are used in two ways: endpoints and forwarders. Forwarders are usually not doing much with packets, just reading a few fields and choosing an output port. These a…

FPGAs are falling out of favor, ASICs are sufficient to implement most network processing. Funnily, one of the biggest DPDK feature is an API to program smartNICs exactly in that w…

An encoding which varies over time, dependent on previous states does not seem impossible. I don't think this is disqualifying to say that a sufficiently complex system cannot then…

'General consensus' does not exist. Take the Covid vaccine: it is clearly shown to reduce the risks compared to getting Covid without it, and still there is no consensus about gett…

Indeed! I was working with false assumptions, thanks for correcting them.

When you buy an ISO standard, it is marked by the buyer ID. To make it publicly available, you need to strip it. That means the file must be modified, and the tampered copy must be…

You're right to nit-pick! It is rather embarassingly wrong (10G -> 100G should be a pretty obvious 14.88Mpps -> 148.8Mpps...). Unfortunately it seems I cannot edit the comment so I…

This patch brings XDP RX to 4.2Mpps which is nice. In 2015 high-speed networking was targeting 10G line rate, i.e. 14.8Mpps. Today the NICs are 100G (42Mpps), next year it will be …
