There's a zillion things you can estimate this way. A lot of sites use sequential cookies, user IDs, etc. Until about a decade ago UPS tracking numbers were sequential for each shi…

It's also pretty similar to `perf timechart`

RE2 state graphs are not generated at compile time.

The code of conduct is the #3 and #4 point of the Linux developer documentation. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/index.html

Seems like for C++ builds you are always going to want the most cores for the money, even if the single core performance is a little worse.

True, Intel's part numbering scheme has passed beyond all reason. Think about the i9-9900K/KF. Existing SKU, in stock at Newegg for $479. You don't get quite as many cores but you …

The 9980XE is just a really large/fast Skylake CPU. Skylake is years old. If you wanted this level of performance from Intel you could have ordered the Xeon Gold 6154 way back in 2…

Slack was also hard down 8 hours ago and been intermittently degraded since. https://downdetector.com/status/slack

These railguns also have synchronized pulsed power systems that are quite complex. The University of Texas has been researching this stuff for decades. Here's a simple paper I Goog…

In the West most "ranchers" are just running herds on BLM leases. It is not "their property" by any definition. By contrast virtually all ranches in Texas are on private holdings.

Article doesn't indicate the road is private. How do you know? As a backcountry motorcyclist I'm accustomed to coming upon roads that are "private" because some rancher decided to …

Alternate title: Until recently Brave was orders of magnitude slower than other blockers.

Is that true across the nation? I know California isn't the whole energy market but their renewable energy mix is solar, hydro, fission, wind, geothermal, and biomass in that order…

Chandler is as related to the person responsible for putting musl in Fuchsia as are any two randomly selected software developers from anywhere in the industry. Having to disqualif…

That can’t really be the reason because SF has approved numerous such mergers and expansion of gigantic single-family structures and they steadfastly forbid subdivision of building…

It isn’t city policy to prevent such mergers but it is city policy that you must get a permit for such a merger before actually doing it.

Nobody would care except Peskin makes it his business to tell everyone else what they can’t do with -their- property.

The amazing part is how they serve you the full content of the article but then fail to serve their javascript that would allow you to SCROLL DOWN and read it.

When Pro Camera Rental still existed in SF, you left a deposit of the full value of the hardware you were renting.

Sure. In this specific case of a kv store it's hard to imagine how to simplify it dramatically from protobuf. As a proto you might have: tag-length-key-tag-length-value. Instead yo…

For simple protocols protobuf decoding has no taken branches. I.e. if you only use the first 15 field numbers (all your tags are 1 byte) and if all the types are the expected types…

If you knew your keys were uniformly distributed you would never use a varint encoding to store them because you'd stand a very high chance of encoding them into a field longer tha…

I find this chart by age and cohort to be a bit more illustrative. https://imgur.com/gallery/UZVEt

Current USA antitrust doctrine dates from the 1970s.

Encoding an image as a repeated sequence of variable-length integers would obviously be a poor choice.
