I accidentally took down our corporate network multiple times ~20 years ago, because I was setting up virtual networks with Linux machines acting as l2 bridges, and with proxy_arp …

Eh, at least one of those -- the "crashing the node" with messages argument is weak-ish, you can setup: erlang:process_flag(message_queue_data, on_heap), erlang:set_process_info_li…

Isn’t the highly connected nature of the model layers problematic to build into physical layer?

I find it a little funny how much the government spends on these dead end investigations. We never will know precisely how much is wasted.

What ethnicity are you? I went through an airport -- and nobody else got screened except me. What was special about me? I was the only non-white person in the airport. Upon complai…

Andy Pavlo absolutely seems like the kind of guy that I would want to get a drink with.

So, you’re essentially washing the soil in DMSO, and DDT is more soluble in DMSO? — curious, what does it take to wash all that soil?

I have wondered why the likes of McKinsey, KPMG, and PWC do not put up candidates (don't even sponsor them, just say you're electing _well known consultancy_).

The author (Cong Wang) is building all sorts of neat stuff. Recently, they built kernelscript: https://github.com/multikernel/kernelscript -- another DSL for BPF that's much more p…

What's the US Customs ruling in question? > This update was enabled by a recent U.S. Customs ruling.

I really like the manycores approach, but we haven’t seen it come to fruition — at least not on general purpose machines. I think a machine that exposes each subset of cores as a N…

I think the most interesting thing about this is the origin of the project - multikernel. It seems like someone is building Solaris zones for Linux.

Investment gap is what I'd say too. While Rust, Go, Python, etc... have had massive backers that have managed to invest a ton more into things like static analysis, type checking, …

What's the biggest barrier to creating a lot of antimatter?

No it wont. It's incredibly hard to build out a fully useful version of the Linux APIs, as shown to us by Cygwin, and WSL. Even if you built out a similar set of APIs, Linux itself…

Where does the capsaicin go? How much ends up in the bird's blood, egg, and muscles?

1. AWS and their account managers are relatively frugal compared to other enterprise sales teams. As far as I can tell, this is a good thing. 2. More 3. AWS has this idea of “custo…

What if I told you that a modern MBP has more IOPs (and faster individual cores) than servers that many large companies use?

Wasn't there a paper from Heidi Howard that stated you it's not actually f failures in 2f+1 nodes, but you can actually make the number of nodes that can fail a lot higher, if you …

Is El Capitan entirely made of Oxide components?

I wish the article actually talked about the interesting nitro enclave specific features more. A lot of it just talks about the basic hardening of a Linux VM and writing secure app…

Relyvrio was ALS drug. I don't think any HIV vaccines have gotten to phase III yet.

I feel like Intel has embarked upon a bunch of good ideas like SDI ( https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/manufacturing/softwa... ), IoT / Edison ( https://ark.intel.com/content…

I've found iPhones get real wonky <-5C. I think the safe storage temp is like -20C because it can damage the battery.
