Topo Chico is definitely a must try. Costco does a “Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Mineral Water” which is surprisingly good. Like Topo Chico, the Kirkland water maintains carbonation for what seems like hours post opening, unlike some sparkling waters

Right now, they're great for prompting simple sites/platforms but they break at large enterprise repos

Can you expand on this?

My experience is they require excessive steering but do not “break”

This number likely isn’t counting putts. Which for someone taking that many swings/shots will be 35-50 putts on top

This is not a very thorough article. It is more a critique on rate limiting approaches and difficulty, for the author, in implementing them with Redis.

Here is an excerpt from the token bucket section:

It seems there’s no way to do a token bucket with the main Redis primitives such as SET, EXPIRE, and INCR. It would require two variables and the client has to read one before choosing how to update the second, which would require pausing the whole database while a client carries this out. So what people do is execute code in Redis. This is done using modules or scripts. Using a module here is dubious: You’re now just loading a C program (shared library) into Redis; why not just load it into an actual computer? So let’s look at “scripts” instead. Scripts are pieces of Lua code executed in Redis.

shows brief example

Now it’s probably time to ask ourselves why we are here. We wanted a rate limiter and now we’re learning a niche programming language just to execute some code in a database that has nothing relevant to our task but a roundabout way of storing an int into RAM. This concludes my quest to discover how or why rate limiters are implemented in Redis.

This highlights the overall technical depth of the article and should inform you of how authoritative it should be considered.

NOAA, which oversees the National Hurricane Center, says the loss of the Defense Department data will not lead to less-accurate hurricane forecasts this year. In a statement, NOAA communications director Kim Doster said, "NOAA's data sources are fully capable of providing a complete suite of cutting-edge data and models that ensure the gold-standard weather forecasting the American people deserve."

I had it 116-112 and had the first as a swing round that I gave to fury. To me it was usyk controlling the fight. The commentators would have you believe otherwise. Remember that, when ring side, fights look different depending on where you sit, which could explain some of this.

Deep Strike was only run on only the public feed and not a quad feed as is preferred.

Feels slightly different in that the Matrix is original so literally nobody in the GPs audience knew what to expect whereas Transformers has been a thing (comics, toys, hundreds of TV episodes) since the mid 1980s. I also feel like the early 2000s had a lot of good CGI movies (LOTR, King Kong, etc) so that to me doesn't explain it either

There is no assertion in the authors post to the contrary, in fact the author likely agrees with you:

I don’t feel special or unique as this an “award” given to thousands of people, and in little Sweden alone there are like a hundred people awarded. It does not seem to be a particular high bar to be welcomed into this club.

No, but I found the comment more interesting after learning what his background is (based on the name/email left in the comment):

John Day has been involved in research and development of computer networks since 1970, when his group at the University of Illinois was the 12th node on ARPANet (precursor to the Internet) and has developed and designed protocols for everything from the data link layer to the application layer. Also making fundamental contributions to research on distributed databases. He managed the development of the OSI reference model, naming and addressing, and a major contributor to the upper-layer architecture. He was a major contributor to the development of network management architecture, working in the area since 1984 and building and deploying LAN products and a network management system, a decade ahead of comparable systems. Mr. Day has published Patterns in Network Architecture: A Return to Fundamentals (Prentice Hall, 2008), which has been characterized (embarrassingly) as “the most important book on network protocols in general and the Internet in particular ever written.” The book analyzes the fundamental flaws in the Internet and proposes what appears to be the only path forward. Today Mr. Day splits his time between making this new path a reality and teaching at Boston University. Mr. Day is also a recognized scholar in the history of cartography focusing on 17thC China, and is past President of the Boston Map Society.

I don’t think of Minnesota as a place where 100f+ occurs with regularity or for sustained periods. A brief search confirms my assumptions, but I’m happy to be proven otherwise.

There are parts of the US where 100f is reached by midday and persists past sunset for over a month, with high humidity.

Is C# Underhyped? 3 years ago

So Rust is better than C# for systems or OS programming… I don’t think anyone is going to argue with you on that.

I decided today I will start reading a book recommended by HN.

So I went to your link at [0a], selected last 6 months. There are 58 pages of recommendations and 15 recommendations per page. So I rolled a 15 sided dice to choose the page. Then another roll to choose which book on that page.

I will be reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar
