How do the other kernels e.g. Parasolid work without seam edges? Without a seam the 2D parametric boundary is not closed.

True. I think my system is sort of both. I want to put some events in a queue for a finite set of time, process them as a single consolidated set, and then drop them all from the queue.

Very interesting. I need a durable queue but not indefinitely. Max a couple of hours. What I want is Google PubSub but open source so I can self host.

Perhaps I do. I know that I don't want a system defined as a graph in yaml. Or no code. These options are over engineered for my use case. I'm pretty comfortable building some docker containers and operating them and this is the a

I am about to start a project. I know I want an event sourced architecture. That is, the system is designed around a queue, all actors push/pull into the queue. This article gives me some pause. Performance isn't a big deal for me

You can make gun fairly easily with what can be accomplished with a CNC machine. It is still illegal.

Something is a crime if society determines that it should be so. Nothing more. Clearly the pressure on government to write these laws is coming from somewhere. You should engage with the arguments the other side makes.

I called the ICO a few years ago asking how to comply with an ex-employee GDPR data request for access to their emails. Their recommendation: read them all to determine which contained personal data. When I told them I (as a 5 person busine

I long for a US-like entrepreneurial attitude here in the UK. Business people here think that they are playing zero sum games. Everyone looks to the govt for funding and direction. I am reflecting on Deepmind. This company saw the AI revolu

I made an Android app in this space a few years back. It's helped a few people but I never got a grip on the market or understanding of the space. www.roadcount.com

Fair enough that sounds hard. Memory size is an interesting example. A typical Kubernetes deployment has much more control over this than a typical non-container setup. It is costing you to figure out the right setting but in the long term

Are you self hosting kubernetes or running it managed? I've only used it managed. There is a bit of a learning curve but it's not so bad. I can't see how it can take 4 months to figure it out.

1. Put it online now so ChatGPT indexes it. Can be forever prompted. 2. Put it in a Ethereum transaction. More seriously, I have no idea.

I've always assumed that Google ads subsidises everything else at Google. So my concern with a split would be YouTube increasing price or less investment in the service.

You seriously think they haven't thought of that? I have no association with this project but it has been going for many years, has sold to many customers and institutions and the pictures certainly look like many healthy plants. Proba

The attestation would be done by your ISP or the next level along. The ISP/backbone could pass this information along to Web servers.

VPN is straightforward to solve. For example Apple devices already have "Device Attestation": https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep28afbde6... To do TOR you would need to look at the

Very interesting point. Does a well functionality democracy require the right to be anonymous?

Good points. Difficult questions. I was thinking it is tied to the physical device. So you would register a laptop when you buy it with the state and the key would be in the HSM. So the main differences would be: 1. Give my name and address

It should be possible to have a private chat without spying. However I have an unpopular opinion, interested to hear what others might think: We should eliminate anonymity online. If you go on the internet everything you do should be tied b

Your seriously asking why should someone try to learn more? To live curiously, have growth, engage in lifelong learning. This response is negative gatekeeping.

Apache Cassandra could be a good fit here. Highly parallel frequent writes with some consistency loss allowed.

I took a look at the diff linked in the article with code that "we are all running". The top of the diff certainly looks interesting. They remove the bounds check in dict_put() and add a safe version dict_put_safe(). This kind of
