If they received $36 MM in a fundraise 3 years ago, you better believe that those investors put pressure on the business to grow fast or die trying. Those investors are not looking for a somewhat risky medium % return, they're looking

I did a few things with xLights and it's a ton of work to do well. I've been wondering if with models such as AudioCraft from Meta, if we're getting to a point where sequencing with xLights could be automated?

based on what math? I can see how there can potentially be differentiators here and there to raise value, but I can't see how this statement can be taken prima facie

I don't understand this comment. Bigtable requires that each tablet is only assigned to one tablet server at a time, enforced in Chubby. There's no risk of inconsistent reads. Of course this means that there can be downtime when a

I'm not a frontend engineer so I might be misunderstanding, but I thought react was creating representations of dom elements in the render function so that it only needs to apply diffs to the actual dom to keep the browser from eating

Out of curiosity, if you are spending a lot of effort to track the data in HubSpot, why not try to send emails directly in HubSpot?

I agree with the sentiment but just wanted to note that this is a legislative bill. often the courts strike down executive action saying that they should get help from Congress, which they're doing here

Arm has a much looser memory model than x86 [1 for a comparison]. It's possible that the random hangs are due to a race condition in PG that doesn't show up in x86 because memory visibility doesn't require as much synchroniza

It's been a while since I've read FCC rules, but as far as I know they usually regulate power output, not antenna design.

Yeah I remember having a long conversation with their support for the alternative solution to this report and they just told me to pound sand. It's crazy to me that it returned without any fanfare.

The actual amount of gallons of gas burned in planes using AVGas is extremely small compared to the gallons of gas burned by cars or by planes using jet fuel. Unless you were on the tarmac with prop planes running, I doubt you'd smell

i think the key difference is the incidence rate. if long term symptoms occur in less than one percent of cases, that's still enough for doctors to see and treat without surprise. this article says the incident rate for covid-19 is 25%

I think the pure tech plays in 2019 are doing just fine. Zoom, Cloudflare, and Datadog all look like good companies. They're just not over-hyped and overinflated.

Even if the system isn't calendar aware, if all of a sudden you have negative timestamps you can have strange boundary conditions where loops might run forever, hanging the system.

That amendment really screwed democracy in the US. Not only does it remove room for debate, but it has IMHO been a major factoring in lessoning voter interest in the state legislature. This has far reaching consequences, such as making it h

That's extremely reasonable for a savings account. The fed rate at the time was around 5% [1]. Today's is much lower which raises questions about where this rate is coming from. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Those uses of AtomicFoo classes could probably be updated to use AtomicFooUpdater fields (e.g. AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater). VarHandle is like AtomicFieldUpdater but with all of the concurrency semantics that were accessible only via Unsafe a

Rather than trying to write your own quoted printable decoder, why not use a library? E.g in python it would just look like: quopri.decodestring(message_source)

It's hard to tell in this study if it's a generational behavior or if it's just something people learn as they age. This is certainly an interesting question to ask periodically so we could do such an analysis.
