I’m curious how they do competitive analysis. They want to be faster than gmail but how do they measure? I tried to take a high-speed video of gmail navigating from thread list to thread but it was not conclusive. Gmail collects a ton of client-side timing data and I wonder if anyone has ever just intercepted that.
LTO doesn't suffer from those things. Shock can destroy the case and dislodge the leader pin of an LTO cartridge but AFAIK it can't damage the data on the tape. Water is bad for the transport but as long as you dry your tapes out they should still work. The operating specs for LTO are crazy, you can read and write them under all practical atmospheric conditions.
You're right but it says that the contractors who unionized work for an IT outsourcing firm.
Google has kind of a random relationship with various classes of employees. There are contract cooks and janitors and whatnot but they made the physical security guards full-time.
It doesn't. Where does the USW come into the picture, if PATP is affiliate of the DPE, considering that USW is _also_ an affiliate of DPE? I don't get it and I wished the article explained it.
That's true, also government programs to create jobs are pretty misguided in an environment with all-time-low unemployment. We should be trying to create employees.
Toyota doesn't even bother trying to market the Tundra outside the Americas, since cowboy cosplay isn't terribly popular abroad, so it makes sense that they are made here.
Is that your personal definition? On App Engine I deploy a function that gets invoked whenever an HTTP endpoint is requested. It clearly maps to the semantic of "function as a service" and I don't know about or control the number of servers so it also has the properties of "serverless".
Skylake-X has 44 PCI 3.0 lanes, that's 352GT/s or about 345gbps application bandwidth. It's certainly more than enough to push 100gbps from disk to net. These guys are pushing 200gbps, but they're doing it with two CPUs, two sets of NVMe devices, and two NICs, and a bunch of hacks to make the operating system pretend all this stuff is not in the same box. It seems way more straight-forward to me if they had made it all be actually NOT in the same box!
So why is it important to have a multisocket NUMA machine? Why not just save yourself a lot of hassle by having one socket? I know that the previous generation AMD machine had unavoidable NUMA but the new one doesn't.
The answer really depends on the nature of these transactions. For example if you can achieve the desired throughput with one thread that could change your decision.
