It seems to require QUIC, are you using an old or barebones browser?

This is cool, I'd say that the most common tool in this space is bgzip[1]. Have you thought about training a dictionary on the first few chunks of each file and embedding the dictionary in a skippable frame at the start? Likely makes less difference if your chunk size is 2MB, but at smaller chunk sizes that could have significant benefit.

I've not evaluated it or ever worked with it myself, but CitusDB has been working on PostgreSQL horizontal scaling for quite some time now, right?

Does anyone have positive or negative experiences with Citus?

How much power is the Pi port capable of delivering, or are you sending additional power to the PCIe adapter from somewhere else?

What SmartNIC are you using? Most SmartNICs that I'm aware of suck a decent amount of power, many more require significant external airflow. Are you using the Mikrotik active cooled one? https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_2xs_pcie

Because in most of the US, it is dramatically cheaper to charge an EV than fuel a similar gas vehicle.

These costs in this article are surprising to me, and very questionable without any actual numbers behind it. As a PHEV owner who can fuel with either gas or electricity, the 13c per kWh I pay is dramatically cheaper than gas at circa $3 a gallon, to drive any distance at all.

Confounding factors across the US may be that in some places using more electricity results in an increase in your marginal rate, in others it results in a decrease. Typically EV charging is not broken out as its own line item, so owners may not know exactly how many kWh their car is consuming. That doesn't change the fact that only a small number of places with very expensive electricity will have electric charging cost anywhere near gas.

Disease, disaster, war all cause significant inflation because they harm or destroy both things and productivity in the real world without destroying money.

If factories shut down and supply chains are disrupted and we only make half as many cars this year, how much would people be willing to pay for those cars? Much more.

I see an error saying "Remote media exceeds maximum duration" for this track that is 9:24 long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs

I'm guessing that's the timeout?

What's the maximum length? I can't find it documented anywhere and keep running into it when trying to try this with Tool tracks.

I haven't measured, but I find it very likely that such a neglected corner of Java behaves just like it did many years ago. Finalizers were never a widely used feature of the Java language, and are now deprecated to be fully removed in the future: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3649089/how-to-handle-java...

If someone trying to make a joke can accidentally get this much access and engagement, imagine how well the scammers must be doing.

Cryptocurrency scams must be an incredibly lucrative space, and now we know why there's so much spam about it that plenty leaks out into visibility.

Many states still only require $15,000 of liability coverage to drive, so there's going to be a lot more uninsured / underinsured motorist claims in the future.

The Rivian owners insurance will frequently end up paying out, via that underinsured motorist coverage.

Realistically, what happened is that Apple increased the maximum allowed size for apps delivered from the App Store. When you don't put limits in, nobody is going to choose to prioritize smaller app size. It's a bit of a tragedy of the commons.

I was shown an error page with an option to refresh or log out, and refreshing just got the same error. Now login seems to be down.

I haven't seen much discussion about how AM gets used for local road condition or emergency communication. When you're driving and see a sign that says "TUNE TO 1610 AM" and the car has no AM receiver, what do you do?

This may be a shrinking niche, but it's potentially a last bastion of AM radio usefulness.

Economies of scale mean that it's frequently less expensive to manufacture only the top configuration with the most features, and then turn features off in software. Broadly, I think that price discrimination is good because it allows the cheaper version of things to exist and be sold at a lower profit margin than a company would otherwise be willing to sell for.

For example, the 2022 Ford Maverick XL was not available with cruise control, but it's only locked out in software. All cars have computer controlled throttles now, so cruise control is a software-only feature with no additional hardware.

Some other hardware that's commonly limited by software is CPUs, GPUs, and such. I had a triple core AMD CPU that I unlocked into a quad core, and an ATI GPU that I reflashed into a higher model. This has become less possible as manufacturers start using lasers to destroy parts of their own product instead, so that hackers can't re-enable disabled functionality.

If laws came around to prevent software from being used to limit hardware functionality, that's what we're going to start seeing: more money and effort spent to intentionally remove or destroy things from products. That sucks compared to just switching it off in software.

I would posit that most organizations that are on recent enough software to be using Openssl 3.x over 1.1.1 or older are in the culture of updating things extremely often, so patching shouldn't be an issue.

Older deployments would be on 1.1.1, which this does not affect.

The problem is that this class is frequently on the pre-med track, and a single F will tank your chances of getting into medical school, even if you retake the course and get an A.

The primary objective of students wanting to get into medical school is to get a high GPA, what specific courses they take and what they learned don't end up mattering at all. Very little of what they learn during the 4 years of undergrad will end up applying during medical school, residency, and their careers.

MSRPs for a given market segment seem to have permanently increased significantly. This generation is expected to be available at this higher MSRP, however.

If it really is 30W more efficient under load, that sounds like it must be a die shrink? TSMC 6nm is the shrink path from the 7nm the PS5 originally shipped with, has anything else used 6nm that's already out in the market?

My Rust is not strong, but in the AVX-512 solution, I don't fully understand how they're incrementing the input by a whole AVX-512 word (16xu32) by only doing input = input.offset(1); ? I'd assume that will increment their input array by only 1 single u32.

With the approach used here, it also looks like you'll write some garbage into output after output_end, which isn't a problem unless output was sized exactly equally to expected output and you attempted to write past the end of it via _mm512_mask_compressstoreu_epi32 .

This paper is looking at both inherited genes, that is genes that you get from your parents, and de-novo mutations, that is a mutation that only the offspring has, that wasn't directly copied from a parent.

We've known for a while that autism is highly heritable. This paper builds on a large body of work that links specific genes to autism's heritability. I haven't dug into the specific breakdown, but my understanding is that a majority of genetic variants associated with autism are inherited, rather than the random de-novo (new) mutations.

Is Spangler Candy Co the exclusive manufacturer of Dum Dums? It seems like they are trying to protect their high prices at Amazon, which is intentionally hard for commodity goods. This is only a problem for them because of highly variable pricing, this would stop instantly if they raised their wholesale prices to Sam's Club.

Israel has a large and growing ultra-Orthodox population, with an average of 7.1 children per woman among the ultra-Orthodox Jews: https://en.idi.org.il/articles/25385

The US has a similar fertility-focused religious movement, but it's much more fringe and relatively smaller. Religious beliefs can drive super-high birth rates in pretty much any society, but aside from Israel, higher education has been associated with lower rates of religious belief. Declining religious participation and intensity of belief may well be contributing to the fall in global birth-rates.

Organizations with any kind of license review will immediately decide that this tool is unusable and move on.

Your only options for making a tool that you expect people to use and respect the license are the big FOSS licenses, or have it be unlicensed and sell licenses.

You cannot actually do this at npmjs.org, regularly used packages can only be marked "deprecated" now: https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/unpublish

It's worth noting that you may not always want to use the ARM JVM on M1 even if it's available, because then anything linked by JNI needs to be running on ARM also.

I'm on an M1 Mac and have spent more time using the x86 JVM because the ARM JVM is less likely to have applications Just Work.

musl is definitely more developer-friendly than glibc, which may lead to a brighter future for it, but right now at this time there's significant downsides to choosing musl.

Performance in real world applications is worse on musl vs glibc, at a level that can result in higher latencies and needing to spend more on compute resources to serve a given level of load.

Interesting to see this. It sounds like they're not on AWS, given that they mentioned that having 1000 instances for their production environment made them one of the bigger deployments on their hosting provider.

If not for the troubles they experienced with their hosting provider and managing deployments / cutting over traffic, it possibly could have been the cheaper option to just keep horizontally scaling vs putting in the time to investigate these issues. I'd also love to see some actual latency graphs, what's the P90 like at 25% CPU usage with a simple Gunicorn / gevent setup?

Company of Heroes was an outstanding release, and its sequel is a good game with a still living, active community.

Company of Heroes 3 was recently announced, and its launch will probably get a lot of old players back into the multiplayer lobbies.

From the article: "My staff visited 79 nearby stores. Forty said they wanted to hire. Twenty-four said they'd hire people with no experience."

This is John Stossel's favorite stunt, he has also walked around offering to hire unemployed people to do manual labor for $8/hr, and been surprised when he doesn't get takers.

Advocating for people who are qualified, and have experience doing higher-paid work to take entry-level jobs feels like a waste. It's pretty clear that these employers aren't willing to offer higher pay, or they would be able to fill their openings, just like white collar positions are filled in a reasonable time.

"We are always hiring" is quite a bad sign for an employer.
