Well after just having a 5 hour meeting discussing what exactly constitutes the Presentation Layer vs the Application Layer and debating about whether Authentication counts as business logic in the presentation tier, I can tell you for certain it is Political at times.

That's what optimum parallelism is. They are collaborating to process N number as many items at the same time in the most optimum way. They also are coordinating to prevent someone from grabbing the same item or placing the same item in the same place. The conveyor belt itself is a ring buffer.

The assembly line principle can also be applied to the concept of threads. Workers collaborate by handing items off to one or more workers(threads) down the line. Thread pools are just micromanagers constantly reassigning the poor workers, but at least the make a lot of friens collaborating.

There are more than one way to parallelize things as well. For example you could have and assembly line methodology where different threads are working on different stages at the same time. Using a common shared threadpool, as one stage slows down, it receives more workers to speed it up. Using producer/consumer queues to designate when data is being passed from one threads control to the other eliminates a lot of multi-threading bugs if this architecture is appropriate.

Some people get confused and think LinkedIn is where the best networks are grown. They are wrong. It's by picking up the phone.

If you recall, this situation happen before with Barack Obama as president. Eventually he dropped it because something new and more important will come up a sure as sunrise. It seems to be bipartisan if you ask me. It boils down to do the ends justify the means and that doesn’t split among party lines.

I’m a republican and I totally disagree with Barr’s push. I honestly believe that once enough people explain to Trump the implications of unlocking one phone he’s pragmatic enough not to unbottle that genie. He’s been much more reserved than many would have expected given the loudness of his bark.

You know, there are some people that just like to do things themselves so that one day instead of buying from the big guy like everyone else, they become the big guy. You can build a distributed datacenter yourself for 500$ a month that can compete with the more expensive network until you grow your user base large enough to afford it. Sometimes VC magic is a bad thing because when you don't have that option, the only other one is to innovate.

Oh yea it's always easier with scale. The main point I was trying to make is that the hardware is actually pretty cheap compared to the network costs to link it. Especially when large companies dump 2 year old servers for pennies on the dollar because the electricity costs at their scale justify it.

Side note: I took that cluster and split it into 8. Then moved them to different geographical locations and where I could use friend or families residential connections and a cloudflare cluster to offset my cost in exchange for unlimited hosting. Very similar to Ceph actually

Let's not conflate 4 years of undergrad with a crash course in leadership. Id take someone in the military for 4 years over most college grads with a useless major any day of the week. For one, the degree and failure to apply it shows me that make bad decision or can't execute a plan. The military person shows me they are a leader, can make tough decisions, and are able to keep going when thing get tough.

Maybe instead of using expensive SSDs. A topology of many spanning disks in large ZFS clusters by using PCIe HDD controllers. Then link the machines via 10GBe could provide you the speed and performance you require require. I've set up a moderate size pool of 1Pb across 16 physical servers on 4 full size racks. This cost less than 50k. Electricity and cooling come from solar. Its the damn internet connection for people to access it that is the cost killer.

Why are liberals so concerned with censoring and hiding ideas? You guys create these enemies in your head, volunteer yourself as the heroic arbiter of truth, and antagonize everyone who disagrees because your issues are too important for disagreement. Nevermind that they are capable of making their own decisions, you are far smarter and know better. After all, you live in once of the most expensive places in the world. You can make any issue life or death but it doesn't mean it should be. The best part about Trump is that he's forced the media and keyboard warriors alike for their utter patheticness. Liberals' hypocrisy will be their undoing. Cry wolf more.

Warning: Do not try this advice when your wife asks if the pants make her butt look fat. The benefits of lying have been proven over and over again in this scenario.
