IIRC it came down to something crazy simple, like, using the FPU registers to bit-blit was the fastest way, but only on the genuine Intel Pentium.

I worked in a DC that had multiple redundant chillers on the roof, and multiple redundant coolers on each floor, but the whole building's cooling failed at once when the water lines failed somehow. They didn't say how, but apparen

Or..? A golden era for people who want to think of new things and test out their ideas quickly by having AI code it up.

We did this at Chargify, but with MySQL. If Redis was unavailable, it would dump the job as a JSON blob to a mysql table. A cron job would periodically clean it out by re-enqueuing jobs, and it worked well.

This is made possible because Elastic gained a write-ahead log that actually syncs to disk after each write, like Postgres.

I came to a similar conclusion. What about measuring enjoyment? Turns out people enjoy meetings more than work!

I'm surprised that we're circling back to banning things being the answer, when we (the Internet) know that doesn't work long-term. It seems nice at face value, so it appeases everyone, while being an overly blunt tool used a

Imagine viewing the same chat logs, while logged in an admin interface, then it isn't self-XSS anymore.

Try kilocode - https://kilocode.ai/ Its a VScode extension and allows different LLMs to be used.

What if you factored in time to sort them first?

Thanks for sharing that. Presumably if you'd split the elements into 16 shares (one for each CPU), summed with 16 threads, and then summed the lot at the end, then random would be faster than sorted?

This is a regressive view. Developed countries profit from the educational nature of the Internet. We're all better off from having banked and shared common knowledge.

Ceph is massively over-complicated, if I had two teams I'd probably try and write one from scratch instead.

I thought PostgreSQL did, but now that I check the docs, you are correct, the default `commit_delay` is zero. That would be worth increasing a little if you can afford the latency.

How is it low res when the specs say 5120 × 2560?

Additionally, the magnetic shape and location of the poles are also shifting, which I think suggests the core is also shape changing.

Not a lawyer, but why not use opensource as an example? Many successful public e-commerce websites have public schemas and aren't all hacked.

But its a weird distribution, because of owners who never have a single problem.

CockroachDB can too, although its licensing has made it unpopular.

This is exactly what we saw when Sept 11 happened (over 20 years ago) and the Republicans decided to invade Iraq and carry out all sorts of extra-judicial mischief. I started to think the world was going to end but its ticking along in the

They're rewriting Heroku to be a hosted K8s offering. Presumably using aforementioned LLMs.

You're really just exploiting hidden O(?) implementations inside the CPU, so it still applies, just less visibly.

Lesson learned for me though, if you "put a require behind a feature flag", you'll get surprise failures when your staging and test environments are no longer able to properly test what might happen in production. Put the re

Technically they still exist, you can buy new 8086 machines and 386s with new motherboards and recycled industrial CPUs, etc.
