Hadn't heard of Fabworks until today. Testing out a quote on some parts I was looking at getting from OSH Cut, they're actually much better on pricing _and_ have more capabilities. (!) Have you used them a lot? Curious what your e

If it's all sheet metal-esque pieces, where you could suffice with just laser cut features and/or simple bends.. then you should take a look at OSH Cut. They have a fairly powerful platform -- instant quoting from uploaded design

Regarding safety, do you have any links around the test results for the Kioma, or other car seats? You've mentioned a lot about the safety scores/test results in comparison to other car seats, but I couldn't seem to find a si

It feels more than a little bit coincidental to call it Noria when https://github.com/mit-pdos/noria exists (and has been posted about here on HN)... especially with the whole bit about incrementally computing changes.

One crucial difference I was able to spot is that Demikernel seems to have an approach that can work for OSes other than Linux. To wit, examples of the performance of the Demikernel approach are shown on a Windows system running in Azure.

Doesn't seem very productive to speak on behalf of two folks who you clearly don't have the authority to speak on behalf of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed. Others have mentioned that the article calls out ignoring traditional in-memory cache daemons because of the additional network time, but with a targeted p50 response time (of their HTTP service fronting all of this), and caches lik

This. We need more community/company interaction in Rust, especially in the networking space, instead of parallel implementations.

Heh, this is funny... I worked on an emulator for Dark Age of Camelot _and_ an emulator for World of Warcraft (WCell) and attribute experience from both projects to getting my first software gig. I also remember (fondly) going through RunUO

Sidenote: not that I think you are personally attacking them, but BuzzFeed does have some quality investigative journalism. Listicles and clickbait help pay the bills, and I didn't believe it when I was informed the first time, but...

Just had to say that this is probably the best explanation of Reed-Solomon I've seen: practical explanations, useful visuals, good pacing, just enough humor. :)

Nice username... :) It's totally logical, but wildly scary sounding. Is there any sort of anesthesia that is delivered which... I don't know... changes your perception as the patient to not think about the fact someone is poking

Since we're playing the "here's an issue I have with what you just said" game... You "laid your cards out on the table" -- which, as you note, is likely grounds for some sort of legal proceedings -- and it turn

I'd say that this is roughly the case with .NET, in terms of async/await. IIRC, you're using a thread pool under the hood, and you sort of have to opt-in: if you're trying to write your own async code, for example, you n

Very delayed follow-up, but I wanted to respond: you're 100% right. Any progress at all is better than no progress. If being able to deal with social interactions by utilizing a cheat day helps stick to the diet -- helping to shutdown

Keto relies on being in ketogenesis, which is affected by intake. You can certainly have a "cheat" meal of higher-than-normal carb intake, but you might get knocked out of keto for a few days. If you cheat every week, you could

Can confirm: this is an incredibly low-barrier-to-entry thing. I'm a U.S. citizen, so I signed up with Be The Match. Four cheek swabs that they send you in the mail. Swab your cheeks, package them up, send them back. I got notified t

By the same token, moving to an area with a high CoL could be restricting if you lost your employment and had to scramble to find a new job. It cuts both ways.

If "this approach" is using Java/Spark, instead of something that is a smaller binary, then there are some easy answers to your questions: - people don't want to write C (or K, or whatever yields a small binary) - the co

I think you're trivializing even the required effort to coordinate two cars, let alone multiple cars. How do you direct the signal to only cars in your lane? In your direction of travel? How much efficiency is lost if all of the driv

It warned about a forward collision with a car that the driver couldn't even see. Watching closely, the red car directly in front does not appear to slow down measurably, and certainly, their brake lights do not light up. You do, howe

(disclaimed: not tied to Launchaco but I felt compelled to address your points) #1 - can you provide an example of where buying/setting up a domain takes you to somewhere called "shareasale.com"? At worst, it seems like the l

Yeah, right now, I have some dinky 2.1 speaker setup, and there's a remote control box that feeds back to the subwoofer to control the volume and expose a headphone port. I have to plug/unplug when I want to switch, and the volum

Yeah, putting the keys on Github seems pointless and contrived: there's no remediation to putting a known-bad key out in the open. What are you going to do: block their IP? Oh boy. I see value in the other examples, though, because t

Per their post about their MySQL backup solution[1], it sounds like they sort of do this? Although it's not a slave that's ready to be promoted to master, but somehow a cold standby that is not far off from being a hot standby bas
