For most of the services I've looked this closely at, maximum would be a proxy for load. Or in the case of a benchmark suite you'd expect max to increase with the number of iterations. What do you find the maximum useful for?

I have a guitar pedal that uses blue and red LEDs to indicate mode. Part of my bedtime ritual is to stomp it to the red mode.

10s of millions of people participated in protests last summer in the US. 700k is 10% of HK population. Both are extraordinary, it's not obvious to me who should win the "most well-behaved protest movement" award

As a white, straight, cisgender, male, <insert_identity_x>, I can't say I've ever been "insulted with reference to X" in the workplace. The "let me explain discrimination to you" responses from white men

I've only read "The Buried Giant", but can strongly recommend it. Beautiful, and sad, dreamy, poetic and fable-like.

I also came to post this. It's great. I've got a degree in classical performance (and deeply love and respect that tradition), but more often collaborate musically with people who don't come from that background. Most will sa

I've always been curious about basketball. It seems to have the same dynamic as big group races, where people are just trying to keep pace with each other until a final sprint. Yet basketball isn't very physically taxing, compared

I had a summer job in college with a real estate partnership that consisted entirely of filing unopened bills and liens into four different bins based on the project, each a different company that presumably was about to go bankrupt. The o

I'm not sure what my point is here exactly, but: debian has had an "app store" for 20+ years that works brilliantly, can be trusted not to fuck with or spy on you, has never pulled youtube-dl/nmap/etc (as far as I k

I'm really out of my depth here but my understanding is at a certain point short sellers start getting forced to buy at whatever price, pushing the stock up further?

That's all fine. But I don't think social science research supports the idea that rank-and-file (or self-identified, if you prefer) conservatives in the US are actually motivated by a devotion to, say, Federalism (as opposed to, s

Just pointing out there's no objective evidence I could find in this thread, the linked article, or on a quick Google scholar search that a bottle of wine degrades or even changes significantly after N days open.

Certainly white resentment is at the core of Trumpism. They also truly believe the election was illegitimate.

I don't really understand your comment, but to restate my own: the Epstein stuff was basically all a matter of public record. I don't claim to have insight into why certain news stories and court cases become more popular than oth

What do you mean "until it was revealed"? There was some pretty exhaustive reporting a decade and a half ago, but no one really payed much attention. And certainly his high-profile connections weren't a secret. Conspiracy-min
