I went to college starting 2007 (right when CUDA was released) and recall a few things about python that made it attractive in both the comp sci and math departments at my school. - python integrated well with lesson plans instructors h

Would cast iron pots and pans count as thick-bottomed in this case? I usually use these with electric stoves since they retain heat pretty well. They take a while to warm up though, so there's both time and energy lost in that warming

It might be possible sooner rather than later given Chrome OS Flex is a thing now. As soon as linux can run on M1s stably, I think Flex would follow suit as well.

Yeah... Bird configurations are a little rough to learn. The examples they have on the website are pretty lacking. Their mailing list is usually helpful though. Quagga is usually easier to find examples for since it's modeled after Cis

It should be noted that an EXPIREAT triggers a deletion if the timestamp being set is in the past and could lead to an increase in memory and disk pressure during script execution. Worth checking if the behavior there differs in any meaning

I'm kind of shocked no one brought up protobufs yet. protobuf libraries are available in pretty much all mainstream languages and the textproto format is pretty mature. It's albeit clunkier and less freeform than YAML. And if you

I've been similarly frustrated in the past. Interestingly, I've found that studying other engineering disciplines outside of software engineering to be best. The best explanations and modeling frameworks for concurrency I learned

Best option is to force encryption on all bittorrent traffic. Most clients support full protocol encryption (PE or MSE) these days, so forcing it shouldn't be an issue. For libtorrent, you'd set in_enc_policy and out_enc_policy to

That greatly depends on use case. I think if you're looking to write a simple HTTP server with some API functions that talk to some RDBMS at less than 100 requests per second, yeah, C++ is pretty hygienic and safe these days. If you ne

These kinds of cameras produce pretty high volumes of data, since it's picture + 3D dot cloud per frame. My guess would be even 1G over wifi wouldn't be enough throughput without some compression engine in place.

It'd be wherever in the network path has the most contention, all else being equal. For a home environment, this would most likely be at the Internet Gateway level, since home networks usually operate at >100Mbps transfer rates betw

While there are similarities within the videogame industry, one has to understand that the plight of a developer is no where near as tragic as that of an animator in Japan. For a developer, the skills learned for working in the videogame in

GMail absolutely caches images. The cache is primarily for performant delivery of data over mobile networks though and reduced load of repeat same-day viewing, and less for privacy. While their cache is large, it's not infinite. If wha

Eh... Not really... It's pretty easy to generate a unique image url per customer and use that to determine whether a customer opened the mail or not and it's about the same cost as a traditional tracking pixel, complexity-wise.

Depression and medication side effects I'm still working through. There's an intense fog that forms in my head when I try to think through a problem that didn't use to be there. Even problems I've solved before I have mu

I wish it were so simple. Usually, to get data from switches you'll have to poll them via SNMP. Polling via SNMP from a production network usually requires a lot of finagling and working with the network engineering team to expose IP a

While I agree with the sentiment of meeting the developers where they are, I'm pretty sure the upfront licensing costs of Windows would have made Stadia a non-starter. I also doubt Google could have gotten a decent bulk licensing deal

Had a similar problem a couple years ago where I needed to use alternative DNS libraries to troubleshoot issues in a company's infrastructure. Golang's rules for what implementation to use are found here: https://golang

The answer is that it works pretty similarly, but GPUs usually do this in specialized hardware whereas mmap'ing of files for DMA-style access is implemented mostly in software. https://insujang.github.io/2017-04-27&#x2F

My family has owned Lexus cars and dealt with dealers along the east coast for 30+ years. Maybe we've been lucky all along, but every one of them have provided similar experiences like the one described in the OP. Purely anecdotal but

I think ineffectual is wrong here, re: Trump. By State Department metrics alone, we pay more now for less people and less passports processed than before Trump took office. Anecdotally, we tend to have less State department representation a

It's not unusual for a server to also be a router in a layer 3 link aggregation setup. It's extremely common for IPs to be load-shared amongst servers using ECMP. If each server is connected to 2 Top-of-rack (TOR) switches and adv

I'm not sure this statement is generally true for Netflix's use case. UDP provides no out of order packet handling which _needs_ to be handled for video streaming. UDP is by default unbuffered throughout transport and tends to cau

Collusion is when the parties coordinate on the price increases. If they both increase prices independently to achieve profitability, then I don't believe that to be illegal.

That's easy to say in general. However, in the case of mitigation of a Denial of Service attack, using IP blocking is an effective temporary measure. From my experience in dealing with HTTP DDoS-style attacks there's usually a pre

If you have your own dedicated IP range and you are advertising routes correctly, then you're as close to ownership of your IP addresses as Google or Facebook are of theirs. ARIN and RIPE control allocations, but do not control routing

Even with peering in place behind the scenes, cloud providers would still usually charge for egress from storage and cdn services to a provider like cloudflare. What Cloudflare et al are doing here is utilizing the peering connections that
