Hadn't heard of Fabworks until today. Testing out a quote on some parts I was looking at getting from OSH Cut, they're actually much better on pricing _and_ have more capabilities. (!)
Have you used them a lot? Curious what your experience with them is if you're willing to share.
If it's all sheet metal-esque pieces, where you could suffice with just laser cut features and/or simple bends.. then you should take a look at OSH Cut.
They have a fairly powerful platform -- instant quoting from uploaded design files, 2D/3D views, DFM feedback, good turnaround times, etc -- and the pricing isn't half bad for prototyping... but might not be as good for large-scale runs compared to bigger shops where you can nail down volume pricing discounts.
Regarding safety, do you have any links around the test results for the Kioma, or other car seats? You've mentioned a lot about the safety scores/test results in comparison to other car seats, but I couldn't seem to find a single mention of that stuff on the website? I also tried to see if something like Consumer Reports had a review of a Kioma car seat (either the current one or the carbon fiber one) but they had nothing.
It feels more than a little bit coincidental to call it Noria when https://github.com/mit-pdos/noria exists (and has been posted about here on HN)... especially with the whole bit about incrementally computing changes.
One crucial difference I was able to spot is that Demikernel seems to have an approach that can work for OSes other than Linux. To wit, examples of the performance of the Demikernel approach are shown on a Windows system running in Azure.
Of the three examples you listed, none of them seem to support their kernel bypass capabilities in anything other than Linux.
Others have mentioned that the article calls out ignoring traditional in-memory cache daemons because of the additional network time, but with a targeted p50 response time (of their HTTP service fronting all of this), and caches like Redis and memcached being able to respond in hundreds of microseconds... it does feel like they didn't actually run the numbers.
The other natural alternative would simply be to run Redis/memcached and colocate this HTTP service on the same box. Now your "network latency" component is almost entirely negligible, and you've deferred the work of managing memory to applications _designed_ around doing so.
Heh, this is funny... I worked on an emulator for Dark Age of Camelot _and_ an emulator for World of Warcraft (WCell) and attribute experience from both projects to getting my first software gig.
I also remember (fondly) going through RunUO with .NET Reflector to pick up tips and tricks. :)
Sidenote: not that I think you are personally attacking them, but BuzzFeed does have some quality investigative journalism.
Listicles and clickbait help pay the bills, and I didn't believe it when I was informed the first time, but... it exists. Probably wouldn't be able to continue without the clickbait ad revenue, though, heh. :P
Just had to say that this is probably the best explanation of Reed-Solomon I've seen: practical explanations, useful visuals, good pacing, just enough humor. :)
It's totally logical, but wildly scary sounding. Is there any sort of anesthesia that is delivered which... I don't know... changes your perception as the patient to not think about the fact someone is poking your brain?
Clearly they can eliminate the local feeling of the surgery, but how do you stop people from freakinggggggg out that it's happening? :P
Since we're playing the "here's an issue I have with what you just said" game...
You "laid your cards out on the table" -- which, as you note, is likely grounds for some sort of legal proceedings -- and it turned out.. I don't know even know. You got lucky that you weren't sued, as you willfully trampled through anti-discrimination laws. Why did it take some sort of put-it-on-the-line moment for you to consider the candidate beyond their physical disability?
You even go on to say that if the candidate was "ethically challenged", your company might suffer. You admit here that you were considering not hiring them because of a disability. How is it ethically challenged to possibly fight back over a dismissal based on being in a protected class? Do you view people with disabilities as simply a liability to companies?
Your closing sentences really smack of backdoor bragging. Good thing he found you, how lucky of him, someone that would tell him flat out to his face that they were worried he couldn't perform his job... and then decided to grace him with employment.
I'd say that this is roughly the case with .NET, in terms of async/await.
IIRC, you're using a thread pool under the hood, and you sort of have to opt-in: if you're trying to write your own async code, for example, you need to schedule it in a way that's slightly more complicated than just saying `go myFunc()`, but it's possible.
As for the JVM, libraries like Akka and Quasar already provide this, although possibly not as performantly as if the runtime itself provided it?
Very delayed follow-up, but I wanted to respond: you're 100% right.
Any progress at all is better than no progress. If being able to deal with social interactions by utilizing a cheat day helps stick to the diet -- helping to shutdown excuses, helping to be the "weekend" at the end of a long work week, etc -- then that's a useful model to adopt.
Keto relies on being in ketogenesis, which is affected by intake.
You can certainly have a "cheat" meal of higher-than-normal carb intake, but you might get knocked out of keto for a few days. If you cheat every week, you could be screwing yourself out of progress.
Can confirm: this is an incredibly low-barrier-to-entry thing.
I'm a U.S. citizen, so I signed up with Be The Match. Four cheek swabs that they send you in the mail. Swab your cheeks, package them up, send them back.
I got notified that I was a preliminary match just five months after signing up. Sadly, I wasn't a full match (hopefully someone else was!) after going through the blood draw.
All in all, it cost me nothing monetarily and maybe 3 hours total between questionnaires and the blood draw when I got matched.
