colima pretty much solves dev experience for docker and k8s on mac, esp. for apple silicons (m1/m2), where you can build multi-arch containers with ease. Some interesting caveats: * By default, system packages don't persist, as th

The original git approach is still the best, which I've been using for years: # source this to clone the .files repo and setup the command #git clone --bare https://<user>@bitbucket.org/<user>/dot

No, `dirname` is correct. The goal of `ln -s dirname/ linkname` is that even if you accidentally do `cp file linkname` (note without slash) when dirname is gone, it will error out. Without the trailing slash in the ln command, a file (

Just like various chat bot incarnations, it's reasonably OK at generating generic sentences without real understanding. I tried several attempts with this leading fragment: "Is borrow checking unique to Rust? Probably not. But&quo

Running 10k containers on one machine is totally realistic though. This is just yet another language vm (e.g. jvm) isolation all over again.

TLDR: two side-channel info leak attacks on CPUs: Meltdown that appears to affect Intel and latest ARM64 (Cortex-A75), and Spectre that was shown to affect Intel, older AMD and ARM64 and theoretically newer AMD processors. Meltdown is more

Chronos is just an example. There're many bugs in Mesos that don't get fixed for months/years. Mesos core is legacy (pre 11) C++ code nobody wants to maintain.

I'd expect better write up from Daniel. std::unordered_set is implemented with chained buckets, which incurs extra memory references. Cursory google revealed that an open addressing hash set would be about 3x faster, which would handil

These NMTs seem tragically bad at translating simple straightforward Chinese e.g.: 我要下班了。下班了再说。 Google: I have to get off work. Off to say. OpenNMT: I am going to work. After work, again. If this is the state of art for NLP. We hav

You must be looking the median latencies. 99% latency was and still > 200ms. You can blame GC jitters for the much bigger variance. They should also show median and 95% latencies for this years number as well.
