I don't think the last example about testing is correct:

threads = []
3.times do
service.call
end
threads.each(&:join)

It probably intends to spin up the call in 3 separate threads and then wait on all of the threads as they do the work in parallel, but as written it will just do `service.call` three times in a row and then wait on zero threads.
It's an oil for cooking with the best "health profile". If you need to push the smoke point use light olive oil. I use olive oil for everything and make do with the smoke point. I would like to be able to buy olive oil. The light olive oils have less flavor...
It's a roll of the dice.

I'd rather pre-screen the people online first before I meet them, or meet people at special interest clubs or events. I'm way more likely to meet someone I have something in common with that way than meeting random people at a bar.

Not to mention that at a bar I'm much more likely to meet the kind of people that hang out in bars, which from my experience haven't been the kind of people I like.
The solution is to avoid synchronous blocking operation like migrating cache lines more often than required. An other solution is to offer a batch produce()/consume() API to process multiple elements per invocation. A double mapped ring buffer is also tempting because it avoids having to deal with modulo addressing.

Neat, I was not aware of `networkQuality`. A good replacement for opening up Speedtest or whatnot when you just want to figure out if the network is slow or something else is up.

This is once again why consumer protection laws are so important; if it's marketed as olive oil but the contents are not olive oil, the product should be removed from shelves.

This is why "Kraft singles" and "Velveeta" isn't called cheese, or "I can't believe it's not butter" and margerine isn't butter, or "Miracle whip" isn't mayonaise.

If it's honest on the packaging though - like over here we have "olive oil blends" for cooking - then it's fine.

Also also, olive oil is a fruit juice, technically, :p.
My standard test cocktails are a Vieux Carré, and a Sidecar, but i ask for it to be less sour than usual. The former is moderately complicated, and tastes wrong if it's not bang on. The latter is simple, but tests their ability to deviate from a script.

You're using "operating system" in an extended, non-technical way.

The web is just a bunch of computers out there. They run perfectly normal operating systems. Browsers aren't that. But the point of an OS is to make the computer's resources available, and the browser did do that - it made available to users what the web servers provided.

The cloud is also just a bunch of computers out there. Those computers have normal operating systems. But that isn't what you mean. What makes those resources/services available to users? The "OS" is the interface that AWS or Azure or whoever provides.

First my 3 Tbit/s estimate was wildly pessimistic and only covered current network utilization. Adding missing countries plus ships more than doubles land area, 42,000 satellites is more than 10x current satellites, v2 is ~10x current individual satellite bandwidth. So current goals are at least 200x current bandwidth. (Satellites also so point to point links which we are ignoring in terms of what the total routing capacity of the network has.)

Total estimate for a “fully deployed” Starlink network is therefore 600 Tbit/s from my pessimistic estimate (or half that if your thinking in terms of customer bandwidth vs traffic handled by the network)

A more realistic estimate is more like 3,000 TBPs as lower density areas can offer higher bandwidth per customer a village of 100 in the Sahara gets the same bandwidth as a town of 100,000 in the US. How much of that actually gets used is a different story.

PS: Individual switches can handle a surprisingly large percentage of total internet bandwidth as packets travel through many of them. 100 switches / average of 4 hops per packet has 25x the bandwidth of a single switch.
IMHO this article is garbage because moving internet backbone in space isn't a sustainable choice in the short, medium and especially long period. Starlink knows that, they are operating in loss, burning money of investors, hoping that some kind of new sci-fi tech will change the game, but honestly that won't happen. Image if the current cellphone network was in space, every time the tech has a generational step forward you should burn all the satellites and re- launch a new constellation. Moreover, you need to reach consumers (the last mile ) on Earth and you can't do that with lasers. Customers will rely in radio communications, that in this case have low quality compared to other alternatives, when they are available. In fact the point of satellite Internet is to cover a niche market: you use that solution if there are no alternative and if you can afford the costs. So you can accept lower connection speed, variale QoS, etc , hoping in a better alternative in the future and, when that alternative arrive in form of a wired traditional connection, instantly the customers migrate there. So that market constantly decrease, not increase. If competitors realise that exist clusters of satellite customers in some rural zones and they are willing to pay more for Internet connection they will take over completely and , anyway, in times of remote working, someone should invest in providing fast internet in remote places that are characteristic of better quality of life for remote workers want a better life, instead of invest in satellite internet. Laser telecommunications are already a thing but in optic fibre and there in fact they have more sense than in a fragile and expansive satellite constellation.

>If you are a 'salaried' employee in the US, the whole concept of 'working hours' is thrown out of the window.

It depends? If the hours are enforced in the 'you must be here from x:00 to y:00' sense, then it should also be enforced in the 'no work/emails/etc from y:00 to x:00'. Flexibility with the former would make me willing to entertain some flexibility on the latter, but most developers don't work such rigid hours. However, I do and as a result I look at Teams/Mail outside of office maybe once a month for the most.
> Their risk was abstract, and caused by ignorance.

There was nothing abstract whatsoever about the lack of adequate preparation and responsibility taken: they did not certify, and they used components that were not rated for the depths of their dives, among many other things. This was not ignorance. This was boldly deciding not to care about safety. They ignored very vocal and direct outspoken concerns from all their peers in the industry for years, specific concerns about what they were doing that was not safe, and they ignored that too. Not abstract.
RedHat claims they didn't cut any engineering jobs, so probably at least some of it. Of course some will go to IBM shareholders too.

Sure, though the fired ones are much more resistant than naturally dried ones.

The note was more about the fact that clay in different states (wet/fired/dried) has very different properties and that the parent comment was ignoring that.

BTW the way a foundation may work (wooden piles in a wet clay substrate) is very different from how a vertical structure (pillar/wall) or a horizontal one (beam/deck/slab) behaves.

In the case of the foundation, the wooden piles distribute the vertical forces through lateral adherence (as opposed to applying it directly to the top surface) over all the inserted length, and in the particular case of the tight grid used in old Venice buildings, the wooden poles act also as containment, they are also called "friction piles".

Full ACK. I can't express how much Outlook annoys me today. The atrocity Outlook has become over the decades can only be a sinister ploy by MS to destroy all office productivity. I would be happy with a concise, tight UI and a rather dumb PIM -- you know, like 2002 (and don't get me started on Excel...)

So I switched back to Thunderbird after a decade or so with the nice Owl-plugin to access my office Exchange. So if you need to connect to MS Exchange but don't want Outlook, try the plugin. It's only 10 bucks a year.

But whether or not multithreading is really available within the test setup, and also whether or not the database adapter runs via different connections is something that one wanted to validate.

Given how Actix was used for benchmarking, I'd imagine that there was a reason the original developer wanted to use unsafe a lot. Nginx was written in pure C, and that is an act of wizardry.

Very cool. Does need to be updated since the deepest discovered shipwreck is no longer the USS Johnston[1] as of 2022.

> The wreck of Samuel B. Roberts lies at a depth of 6,895 meters (22,621 ft; 4.284 mi), making her the deepest known shipwreck and the deepest shipwreck ever identified by a crewed submersible. It exceeds the previous record of 6,469 meters (21,224 ft; 4.020 mi), set in March 2021 when Vescovo's team found and identified the wreck of the destroyer USS Johnston, which was sunk in the same battle.

I completely agree.

The hardest people to compete against are those who see what works and what doesn't and change their strategies accordingly on a regular basis -- a self correcting missile to a target.

You need to orient your ego away from just being about your ideas or specific strategy to instead being a master executor whose goal is to win.

It is even worse to compete against people who also study your strategy with an open mind and then incorporate the best elements of your strategy into theirs.

Then it becomes a game of resources, connections, marketing and focus, rather than just a competition of ideas.

That would be true if it actually did the decryption, but my point was, an LLM doesn't decrypt. It just has the encrypted string followed by the decrypted string in its training data and so it outputs something that's almost correct. (the numbers being wrong 4501, 4502, 4503 instead of 4701, 4702, 4703 - maybe some bugged training data, maybe hallucination).

The USS Johnston is no longer the deepest wreck found. That honor goes to another ship lost at the Battle Off Samar: the famous DE-413, USS Samuel B. Roberts.

The ship's final action report:

https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/NHC/NewPDFs/USN/Action%20re...

"The crew were informed over the loud speaker system at the beginning of the action, of the Commanding Officer's estimate of the situation, that is, a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival could not be expected, during which time we would do what damage we could. In the face of this knowledge the men zealously manned their stations wherever they might be, and fought and worked with such calmness, courage, and efficiency that no higher honor could be conceived than to command such a group of men."
Absolutely terrifying to see those large numbers. Fossil fuels are just too damn convenient to replace. Even if some places reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, other places will increase their consumption due to reduced prices. Coal use, the dirtiest of all, isn't declining!

I still hope at least coal will be largely priced out by cheaper options. I say hope because I still don't see it happening.

While I do like this concept, I’ve always done this simply by compiling all the dependencies into the same folder root as the application. It never needed to be any more complicated than that. Application developers made it complicated by not wanting to do anthything but use a package manager.

You can have nginx, Apache, php, Perl, python, etc… siloed into the same root as your application and have multiple instances for every application simply by compiling with the “path” parameter in the configuration.
Ask HN: Computer Games for Toddlers?
Does anyone have any recommendations for young children? My daughter just turned 3, and she's very interested in computers (I guess because I spend so much time on one).

I'm showing her basic typing skills in word docs (letters, change font colour). I've also found some simple web games[0] that she enjoys, but I'm looking for more.

Obviously, coordination when using the mouse is limited at this age, though that's something we're working on. Does anyone have any suggestions for software that fits the bill here? What have others done to help young children with basic computer skills?

Thanks!

LMAX Disruptor was very inspirational to me as well.

I've found a lot of problem spaces it fits into perfectly. For example, any sort of MPSC arrangement. Literally any. The most obvious being if you want to DIY your own database.

If performance is of interest to you, you may want to check out the latest variants of Disruptor on .NET. Figures nearing 500 million per second range are present here, and will likely be exceeded in future versions of .NET:

The thing .NET has to its advantage (not sure if this is true anymore) is how structs vs classes work in memory. This is why there is a speedup with ValueDisruptor<T>.

How would you represent or interpret the "next concept" if not with some kind of token, though?

> the US and the West are a curse to the global south

There is much controversy around this, but by and large most people agree that US interference in South America, and English interference in the Middle East and South Asia in the late 19th and 20th centuries was a net negative for all the resulting countries. Much of American and English wealth was built on extracting resources and wealth out of these countries and concentrating them in Europe and the US. Heck, the very crown of the King of England has an Indian/Pakistani diamond in it.
