Hadn't heard of Fabworks until today. Testing out a quote on some parts I was looking at getting from OSH Cut, they're actually much better on pricing _and_ have more capabilities.…

If it's all sheet metal-esque pieces, where you could suffice with just laser cut features and/or simple bends.. then you should take a look at OSH Cut. They have a fairly powerful…

Regarding safety, do you have any links around the test results for the Kioma, or other car seats? You've mentioned a lot about the safety scores/test results in comparison to othe…

It feels more than a little bit coincidental to call it Noria when https://github.com/mit-pdos/noria exists (and has been posted about here on HN)... especially with the whole bit …

One crucial difference I was able to spot is that Demikernel seems to have an approach that can work for OSes other than Linux. To wit, examples of the performance of the Demikerne…

Sincerely: what the fuck is wrong with you?

Doesn't seem very productive to speak on behalf of two folks who you clearly don't have the authority to speak on behalf of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed. Others have mentioned that the article calls out ignoring traditional in-memory cache daemons because of the additional network time, but with a targeted p50 response time …

This. We need more community/company interaction in Rust, especially in the networking space, instead of parallel implementations.

Heh, this is funny... I worked on an emulator for Dark Age of Camelot _and_ an emulator for World of Warcraft (WCell) and attribute experience from both projects to getting my firs…

You beat me to it! :) https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-documents/

Sidenote: not that I think you are personally attacking them, but BuzzFeed does have some quality investigative journalism. Listicles and clickbait help pay the bills, and I didn't…

Just had to say that this is probably the best explanation of Reed-Solomon I've seen: practical explanations, useful visuals, good pacing, just enough humor. :)

Nice username... :) It's totally logical, but wildly scary sounding. Is there any sort of anesthesia that is delivered which... I don't know... changes your perception as the patie…

Since we're playing the "here's an issue I have with what you just said" game... You "laid your cards out on the table" -- which, as you note, is likely grounds for some sort of le…

I'd say that this is roughly the case with .NET, in terms of async/await. IIRC, you're using a thread pool under the hood, and you sort of have to opt-in: if you're trying to write…

Very delayed follow-up, but I wanted to respond: you're 100% right. Any progress at all is better than no progress. If being able to deal with social interactions by utilizing a ch…

Keto relies on being in ketogenesis, which is affected by intake. You can certainly have a "cheat" meal of higher-than-normal carb intake, but you might get knocked out of keto for…

Can confirm: this is an incredibly low-barrier-to-entry thing. I'm a U.S. citizen, so I signed up with Be The Match. Four cheek swabs that they send you in the mail. Swab your chee…

By the same token, moving to an area with a high CoL could be restricting if you lost your employment and had to scramble to find a new job. It cuts both ways.

If "this approach" is using Java/Spark, instead of something that is a smaller binary, then there are some easy answers to your questions: - people don't want to write C (or K, or …
