Awesome. If you are not in touch with Maker Nexus (based out of Sunnyvale) already, please reach out! Would love to put you in touch with the administrators there on what they lear…

The final Greenhouse link doesn't work in this listing

> Pipelined replication: the sequencer assigns a sequence number immediately and ships the event to replicas in parallel. Matching doesn't wait for the replicas to acknowledge. How…

It says "PAID ONLY BY A RELATED FOR-PROFIT", which looks to be the Mozilla Corporation. Donations are not directly paying the CEO, although I agree more of the profits from the Cor…

Hold the lock and write a row with timestamp at the time you read. That row indicates you are the one processing the data and no one else should. When reading, abort the read if so…

I'm not quite following. His argument appears to be: The replication system requires a backwards seek, Postgres does not support that operation, things break when that operation is…

I took a Udacity class by Norvig [1] and my abilities as a programmer clearly were improved afterward. His code here demonstrates why. It is both shorter and much easier to underst…

Morphy, one of the greatest players of all time, is famous for this. "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted l…

There is also the deleteRecords API specifically for this. It's easier than the retention shrink -> increase dance, as it is a single API call and retention does not kick in immedi…

I use this for everything at my house. I haven't add any issues.

I use NetworkX to build the graphs and Gephi to visualize them. No need to pick a single tool.

I also started to write a finite state machine for part 2 but found it too tedious to craft by hand. How did you do it?

His book "The Datacenter as a Computer: An Introduction to the Design of Warehouse-Scale Machines" was immensely valuable to me as I moved into datacenter management as a new-grad.…

This isn't unreasonable. ML workloads benefit from more computational time per request. Lower QPS = better results.

Can someone explain why the "no free lunch theorem" does not cause problems here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_theorem

A lot of people in this thread point at motivation or mental health issues. The issue is likely not so complicated. You have forgotten how to focus. We live in a world where we are…

If Solano county votes this down, it dies. They need to sell it this way.

They show the benchmarks in the original post, a few pages down

Most of the attacks I see on Nordic devices are power based attacks, where cutting the power for a brief instant causes protection instructions not to run. This one is entirely dif…

You say "don't suggest to buy some old Dell Optiplex from eBay" but I did exactly this. I spent $43.97 (which included shipping) for the Optiplex, added a 2 port NIC for $16.37, an…

Aluminum alloys are also generally stronger than magnesium alloys.

Airplanes fit a more people into the same space than they used to.

I wouldn't say this is the most boring. In Python it is certainly an empty file. It was interesting to see the author work through the major obstacles one by one when writing a qui…

I don't agree. A subset of high performance applications in a datacenter can use a new protocol while still supporting TCP for other applications. I'm not saying this is easy, or e…
