Yeah, too bad. It’s actually quite an innovative and cool design. Shoots pretty good for a striker (still a far cry from CZs and 2011s). The ecosystem also started to develop around it (eg 1911 angle grips, high quality holsters, etc.) Si

Lots of tradeoffs. If you invent a new codec, it's unlikely to make it into hardware for a while (even AV1 encoders are not yet as widely supported) and therefore you will have to do encoding and even decoding in CPU, which takes away

Compute overhead of H.264 encoder is non-negligible for a VM host where I want all my CPU cycles to go to user VMs. Datacenter-class Intel CPUs (Xeon) don't include H.264 encoders in hardware. QuickSync circuitry is generally limited t

Low CPU overhead. VNC streams screen grabs with minimal (if any) compression, which results in lower CPU overhead, high bandwidth consumption and low frame rate. This is okay for the use-case of low-level VM debugging that it's used

RDP is aimed at a different use case than VNC. Proxmox and other virtualization managers (e.g. VMWare, Nutanix) use VNC because you get a stream directly from the hypervisor (e.g. KVM, ESX) which is very useful for low-level debugging. Th

Well if you keep rudder aligned with the engine (i.e. parallel) you are really using both, not just the engine.

Timing could’t be better. VMWare is actively firing and pissing off large swats of their customer base and basically Nutanix is the only serious alternative for onprem. What is the total overhead (in terms of cores, memory) of the managemen

Really grateful for the major contribution Google made to the WebRTC over the years, driven by the Stadia effort. They relatively quickly turned it into a viable, production worthy, real-time protocol. Brought up the state of the art in bro

Food shortage has nearly nothing to do with climate change and nearly everything to do with sanctions against Russia, resulting in skyrocketing prices of potash, nitrogen and ultimately fertilizer. Combine that with the fact that Ukraine an

This is pretty non-sensical. Banks are incentivized to price IPOs at the highest possible price, their comps are directly linked to the proceeds. If IPO pop was something nefarious, how do you explain IPO pop of Goldman Sachs stock? They ra

Counter balance is the free market - if you set the price too high, investors will not buy into it and the price will be adjusted down.

Switzerland in fact has significantly lower taxes in most cantons than most (all?) states in the U.S. I am afraid higher taxes would simply yield more mediocre Amtrak.

Wouldn't quite discount the markdown as some mere accounting formality. While I agree that markdowns, in many cases, are not indicative of fundamental company performance issues, they are clearly indicative of changing market sentimen

generally you would have a double trigger, so as long as you stay with the acquirer you would fully vest over time, which is a fair proposition. depending on the terms of the deal and acquirer's stock you may have no optionality (all c

That is the upper bound that is generally much higher than the fully diluted count, so not a good proxy. However, it would be a fair assumption on your part since you are not given the right level of transparency. At any rate, probably bes

Hey Dan, Redux looks awesome. I am using react-dnd and hot reloader on my current project and they are great. Thank you for all the great contributions you are making to the ecosystem. The idea of modeling the store as a reducer is clever.

This smells like a shill piece by a Google developer advocate [1] with a horse in the race [2]. The key benefit of React is an extremely low cognitive load. There are only three simple concepts to grok (props, state and lifecycle) to get p

Agreed, Mars is stark compared to the Caribbean, but there is some minimalistic beauty to it all. There may also be some survivorship bias when it comes to the colonies. First colonies often failed and for quite a while (e.g. Roanoke nearly

That is perhaps true, but only until people figure out how to terraform the planet. Americas also sucked (albeit to a lesser degree) for the first settlers, but some 500+ years later we have an economic and technological powerhouse here. P

I think you are spot on - you can't apply it retroactively in this case. If you set it up as H(H(pwd, salt), pepper), you could apply pepper retroactively, but that's not what's proposed here nor in the SO question linked ab

Thanks for the links - Reactive Design Patterns is a great read. On the bottom of the first page, they list FP, futures & promises, CSPs, observers and observables (i.e. Rx), and actors as tools of the trade. Then in the third chapter

As strange as it may sound - I ask them to exclude all taxes and fees to reduce variability and have more of an apples to apples comparison. Taxes & fees are well defined, but in my experience, dealers try to sneak in a decent "ser
