Well the people who smoke fent off of a piece of foil aren't going to disappear so you have to put them somewhere. If you were to put them somewhere in Pac Heights where the reside…

I think that really depends on what social circles you run in.

Isn't a doubly linked list basically incompatible with Rust's idea of memory ownership?

Ironically, the closure also made Market St more unpleasant (an already unpleasant experience before) to walk after dark.

For what protocol would this be advantageous over plain connection pooling?

That makes sense because pypy can JIT a ladder of if/else to a compare/jump conditional each whereas a dict lookup can be an order of magnitude more complex. If they're 8bit opcode…

This is true, on average having an edge will be faster, but it is not a panacea for latency, especially if you don't move non-trivial QPS from every region.

TLDR, adding an "edge" in front of your application incurs a connection setup cost which can be 2-3x RTT and is especially noticeable when you don't have a large QPS and are in a r…

While that lasts, you can't be charging a flat $200 in a world where the other players are charging 5-10¢/GB of egress.

It's more complicated than that though, you're interrupting a rape, in the victim's house, the perpetrator is their neighbor and they have a gun (so do you) so bloodshed is imminen…

This is how most high performance networked software is written, it’s mostly fine, when you’re running on the event loop, nothing else is.

Right, my camera even goes as far as offering in-body HDR, it's just not as good as what I get in my iPhone, especially when the scene has moving elements, the camera isn't on a tr…

Phones outperform cameras in suboptimally lit shots. They also distort reality, hard. Good enough for IG but pretty different results otherwise.

I imagine they love the sqlite codebase but are not ecstatic about having to maintain a fork and would like to have sqlite upstream their changes such that they don't have to impor…

Most vehicles don't need rocket propulsion, yet you can't go to the moon in an FSO Polonez ;)

I think making sqlite distributed-capable is very interesting. Postgres isn't trivially distributed and is a full fledged database server that's not appropriate for scale to zero w…

I don’t think children get shot at school often enough for that to be a realistic worry

A nation of 5 million, GDP/capita in top 10, produces almost all of its own electricity almost entirely from renewables.

The US (or someone else) instigated Azerbaijan to go to war so that they can interfere with their own future gas sales?

Do know that if and when they do, they'll question your StarVPN IP. Time to pay someone you know to keep a second glinet router in their home in the state you're supposed to be in.…

Yes, the easiest way to do this is buying 2 routers that support a VPN server and a VPN client. Any OpenWRT capable router should be able to do this for you, gl-inet built a busine…

In a bunch of Slavic languages pederast colloquially means homosexual, probably a holdover from the past.

Hasn't been my experience, there's the occasional first-timer who's posturing for instagram but for the most part people are aware that they're on a commercial flight that for the …

The experience is pretty different though, you save 30+ minutes at either end, you're not nickel and dimed, the crew and clientele tends to be nicer.
