Just an interesting observation I had about this once when I noticed that kernel quic implementations weren't very fast.
KTLS is mostly useful if paired with sendfile (I'm ignoring io_uring because I'm not as up to date on that). Otherwise you have to context switch back to userspace constantly.
> AV1 streaming sessions achieve VMAF scores¹ that are 4.3 points higher than AVC and 0.9 points higher than HEVC sessions. At the same time, AV1 sessions use one-third less bandwidth than both AVC and HEVC, resulting in 45% fewer buffering interruptions.
Just thought I'd extract the part I found interesting as a performance engineer.
This actually seems like a simple example of memory request vs limit.
Request the amount of memory needed to be healthy, you can potentially set the limit higher to account for "reclaimable cache".
Another way to approach it if you find that there are too many limiting metrics to accurately model things: is you let the workers grab more segments until you determine that they are overloaded. Ideally for this to work though you have some idea that the node is approaching saturation. So for example: keep adding segments as long as the nth percentile response time is under some threshold.
The advantage of this approach is you don't necessarily have to know which resource (memory, filehandles, etc) is at capacity. You don't even necessarily have to have deep knowledge of linux memory management. You just have to be able to probe the system to determine if it's healthy.
I can even go backwards with a binary split mechanism. You sort of bring up a node that owns [A-H] (8 segments in this case). If that fails bring up 2 nodes that own [A-D],[E-H], if that fails, all the way down to one segment per node.
You nerd sniped me a little and I'll admit I'm not 100% sure what a reduction is but I've understood it to be a measurement of work for scheduling purposes.
Tcl was my first "general purpose" programming language (after TI-basic and Matlab).
When I started that job I didn't know the difference between Tcl and TCP. I spent a couple months studying Phillip Greenspuns books. It also made me a better engineer because unlike PHP I couldn't just Google how to do basic web server stuff so I had to learn from first principles. That's how I ended up building my first asset minification pipeline that served the "$file.gz" if it existed with content-encoding: gzip.
Nearly 20 years later and I'm basically a http specialist (well, CDN/Ingress/mesh/proxy/web performance).
Tcl is still kind of neat in a hacky way (no other language I've run across regularly uses upvars so creatively).
I used to live in a suburb. I met people the same way you meet people anywhere: common interests.
A dozen or so people with dogs met at the park every day. We knew each other, watched each other's houses/pets on vacation, and sometimes did dinner or BBQs.
A few people organized a DnD group after advertising on nextdoor (which is a cesspool but only 70%).
Of course those with kids the same age often knew each other because of school or activities.
The neighborhood park had a system of "pea patches" where you could grow some stuff next to your neighbors.
There's nothing that unique all in all about this space other than there was a "third place" we all had built and took care of (the park was originally supposed to be a school that never got built so the community got it to become a park but at least half the work came from the community. The county provided some matching work).
The weird thing is people are people no matter where they are, mostly. And if you are lonely, you can go fix it.
Lots of people move from somewhere they hate so somewhere they think will solve all their problems. And they are right. Or they move from somewhere they love to somewhere that they know will be terrible. And they are right. It seems like whether you think your neighborhood is great or terrible, you're not right.
I don't see the benefit of a subinterpreter compared to a subprocess. I wish python didn't have a GIL, but I don't see what problems this would solve for me that multiprocessing doesn't.
It's amazing how you well WSJ has spun everyday things. Of course car companies only care about your license and ability to pay? What the else should they be checking? Apparently it's also terrible that the terrorists stayed in a hotel.
I just realized something else that was left out of the article. The terrorists were probably buying food too. You know those grocery stores don't vet their customers other than requiring payment. Scary, right?
I don't normally wear my tinfoil hat in public, but it's hard to see this article as anything but an attempt to sway public opinion on encryption and monitoring laws.
