I think that really depends on what social circles you run in.

Isn't a doubly linked list basically incompatible with Rust's idea of memory ownership?

Ironically, the closure also made Market St more unpleasant (an already unpleasant experience before) to walk after dark.

For what protocol would this be advantageous over plain connection pooling?

That makes sense because pypy can JIT a ladder of if/else to a compare/jump conditional each whereas a dict lookup can be an order of magnitude more complex. If they're 8bit opcodes, maybe having a list based lookup table wil

This is true, on average having an edge will be faster, but it is not a panacea for latency, especially if you don't move non-trivial QPS from every region.

While that lasts, you can't be charging a flat $200 in a world where the other players are charging 5-10¢/GB of egress.

It's more complicated than that though, you're interrupting a rape, in the victim's house, the perpetrator is their neighbor and they have a gun (so do you) so bloodshed is imminent if you get involved, you're the victim

This is how most high performance networked software is written, it’s mostly fine, when you’re running on the event loop, nothing else is.

Right, my camera even goes as far as offering in-body HDR, it's just not as good as what I get in my iPhone, especially when the scene has moving elements, the camera isn't on a tripod, etc. Phones can paper over a lot of things w

Phones outperform cameras in suboptimally lit shots. They also distort reality, hard. Good enough for IG but pretty different results otherwise.

I imagine they love the sqlite codebase but are not ecstatic about having to maintain a fork and would like to have sqlite upstream their changes such that they don't have to import patches in perpetuity. This is a valid frustration th

Most vehicles don't need rocket propulsion, yet you can't go to the moon in an FSO Polonez ;)

I think making sqlite distributed-capable is very interesting. Postgres isn't trivially distributed and is a full fledged database server that's not appropriate for scale to zero workloads, though others are working on that as wel

A nation of 5 million, GDP/capita in top 10, produces almost all of its own electricity almost entirely from renewables.

The US (or someone else) instigated Azerbaijan to go to war so that they can interfere with their own future gas sales?

Do know that if and when they do, they'll question your StarVPN IP. Time to pay someone you know to keep a second glinet router in their home in the state you're supposed to be in.

by hnov 4y ago
Yes, the easiest way to do this is buying 2 routers that support a VPN server and a VPN client. Any OpenWRT capable router should be able to do this for you, gl-inet built a business by selling routers with custom OpenWRT-based firmware wit

In a bunch of Slavic languages pederast colloquially means homosexual, probably a holdover from the past.

Hasn't been my experience, there's the occasional first-timer who's posturing for instagram but for the most part people are aware that they're on a commercial flight that for the time being gets to sidestep the nightmar

The experience is pretty different though, you save 30+ minutes at either end, you're not nickel and dimed, the crew and clientele tends to be nicer.

Economies of scale will bring prices down. It's becoming clear that a combination of energy density, capacity and transport requirements are going to make hydrogen a thing for some applications. Remember that in the 90s GM was using le

Surface area of the oceans is 361e6 km², let’s say each of 7e9 people using 200 liters of water daily (obviously way more in the developed world but a lot of the world still living in huts), 1e8 dm² in km² (since liters are dm³) you have (7

So with the C8 and 911 they can’t be characterized as merely RWD for straight line acceleration purposes because of weight distribution. One of the biggest issues with launching is that by the time weight transfer happens tires are already

The BMW M5 has a ZF 8HP and pulls off sub 3s 0-60s in CS trim. The new xDrive M3 comes close. I’m sure there are others. The key obviously is to have a torque converter stall speed that’s in powerband.

The M2 is an interesting one because the manual in that car isn’t that good (typical BMW rubbery shifter, high clutch pedal with detent, clutch delay valve) while the Getrag 7 speed DCT feels like something out of a Lamborghini, but people

That’s not quite how traditional autos worked, they also have sets of clutches and bands, controlled by a complex hydraulic system. Modern automatics are electronically actuated and are basically killing the need for DCTs, with VW Group and
