Maybe A Deepness in the sky, from this author? The hero saves the day by hacking old routines lying in the depth of the ship systems.

For the majority of life existence as we know it (meaning, a proton gradient separated by a membrane), living systems were immortal. Some external circumstances could change reducing them to a pile of oxides, but the systems themselves were

Sure, it's definitely not the same. I would not think of someone not believing the most extreme predictions to be a skeptic. What I call climate change skeptics are people playing into the well-known playbook of industries being attack

This website is a pathetic example of cherry-picked and misrepresented data. No surprise coming from climate change deniers. Hacker News always had a pretty high number of such people (and an even higher number of climate change sceptics) a

Entropy does not drive the creation of life. Life appears in spite of the 2nd law. The context in which it appears means that life orders its context, so 'feeds off' low entropy. But low entropy environment is not sufficient. You

I would tend to agree. This article conveniently designs its benchmark to be exactly when open addressing would work. In almost all of the maps implementations I have used so far, chaining was necessary and intrusive linked lists were used.

Networking stacks are used in two ways: endpoints and forwarders. Forwarders are usually not doing much with packets, just reading a few fields and choosing an output port. These are very common function in network cores (telcos, datacent

FPGAs are falling out of favor, ASICs are sufficient to implement most network processing. Funnily, one of the biggest DPDK feature is an API to program smartNICs exactly in that way.

An encoding which varies over time, dependent on previous states does not seem impossible. I don't think this is disqualifying to say that a sufficiently complex system cannot then simulate an abstract machine. It does not make the art

'General consensus' does not exist. Take the Covid vaccine: it is clearly shown to reduce the risks compared to getting Covid without it, and still there is no consensus about getting vaccinated, and there never will be. Getting t

When you buy an ISO standard, it is marked by the buyer ID. To make it publicly available, you need to strip it. That means the file must be modified, and the tampered copy must be stored somewhere. Sci-hub has a different model: it is dece

You're right to nit-pick! It is rather embarassingly wrong (10G -> 100G should be a pretty obvious 14.88Mpps -> 148.8Mpps...). Unfortunately it seems I cannot edit the comment so I'll leave the error for posterity ^^. Still,

This patch brings XDP RX to 4.2Mpps which is nice. In 2015 high-speed networking was targeting 10G line rate, i.e. 14.8Mpps. Today the NICs are 100G (42Mpps), next year it will be 400G. I'm not sure how the kernel is expected to follow

If it was the answer, then RH could have instead only forbidden margin trades and restricted to cash. Additionally, other retail brokers selling to Citadel Capital have done the exact same (Schwab comes to mind, but not only). Other brokers

Usually those lists are intrusive -- their nodes are meant to be part of larger objects. They will be freed in other contexts, e.g. if protected by RCU, memory reclamation is postponed until all threads have quiesced. Or the nodes are alloc
