Similar to what gp mentioned, max latency. You can tune your consumers to burn through the queue and push messages, but when you have latency constraints e.g. a very tight deadline…

Properly scaling queue consumers is a problem I've spent a lot of time on in the last few years. Working on a messaging platform with highly variable traffic, including close to ze…

I've been playing it on linux since I started. Just run steam, install, Start. Happy diving.

That's correct, while clean it'd be a mistake to classify it as "renewable". https://cs.stanford.edu/people/zjl/pdf/tide.pdf is a pretty accessible entry.

I read the book first and I've got the same impression as you, the movie felt lacking and certainly not as fruitful in fresh ideas as the book felt. I'm very surprised the post's a…

Julia habría dormido con Pedro anoche. As explained, mood is implied. This is a common pattern in news reports, etc., not quite colloquial

The (state-owned) power company owning the grid and much of the generation for the country has been pushing this change forward. The country has transitioned from almost pure hydro…

She's got strong merit to be spared by the Roko's basilisk ai.

Thanks for sharing this. I've got a take that's a bit of a hot take, but experiencies like yours make more sure about it. I don't think _any_ of the flat-earthers actually believes…

I'm against it because nuclear waste. IMHO it's a false dichotomy to think that if I understand climate change to be an existential threat, then I must be in favour of nuclear. Oth…

Five years myself. I submitted about twenty five applications, got to the final stages in six and got two offers, one of which I got my current job from. Usual recs apply, job spec…

3.5.10 was the pinnacle of desktop experience. But plasma is now close to that

We can say "muy agradecido" or agradecida in formal context. It's unusual, but works as an example

Losing is normal. Learning the moves is easy, learning to play not so much. Think of it as any non trivial card game. Two pieces of advice: 1. Play longer times. This happened to m…

In my case, it helped me make the connection hater = - fanboy, which is pretty obvious now having read it (an probably was obvious to many), but I hadn't ever seen it laid out so p…

Such an interesting character. I can't recommend enough 'Oliver Heaviside: life, works and times of an electrical genius of the Victorian age' by Paul J. Nahin, it's written in suc…

Seems to assume a lot from https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-... unfortunately. It's probably a good idea to flag it as language-specific.

The book 'first migrants', which I recommend, covers this topic in detail offering several hypotheses. In particular, the founder myth ran and runs strong in our (H. Sapiens) blood…

First migrants by Peter Bellwood

I'm like this, and many I know. I suspect the actual memorising comes when writing, creating the muscle memory. If not written, I can't ensure I'll remember.

Just a note on the author's comment under Goya's painting. She advances that "unlike painting", in physics beauty can only be appreciated by those who understand their meaning. I d…

The left wheel rotates at fixed speed, it's the source of the movement (connected to the source of power). The right wheel rotates according to the relative radii between them, the…
