just send sighup to nginx and it will reload all the config—there's very few settings that require a restart
It's true that turbopuffer does vector search, though it also does BM25. The biggest difference at a low level is that turbopuffer records have unique primary keys, and can be updated, like in a normal database. Old…
LSM tree storage engine vs time series storage engine, similar philosophy but different use cases
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6612475/ is a review of Britton's research discussed in the article. It presents several points of evidence with a coherent argument for why meditation brings benefits while…
Proper brokerages will pay you to lend your securities, transparently disclose their programs, and require consent. For example: - https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/pricing/stock-yield-en... -…
JPEG XL implements lossless image compression, but that's definitely not the most interesting feature. It also implements lossless JPEG recompression. So your existing JPEGs can be served with ~20% less bandwidth,…
Production audio and video recorders generate or intake an SMPTE timecode signal, and stamp recordings with this timecode. This timecode format is a timestamp with seconds resolution plus a frame count within each…
I wrote 100ns, and meant an analog repeater. Full digital regeneration is probably in the 1-10μs range.
In theory having fewer repeaters improves latency, probably in the range of 100ns per repeater. I don't know how much of a practical effect that has, likely very minimal with modern implementations. Either way it's more…
Shortwave radio can be transmitted around the curve of Earth by ionospheric reflection and refraction so fewer repeaters are needed. This allows crossing vast oceans where microwave infrastructure might not be possible.…
Video description: “Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.”
Worst case you just add more layers, like we do with sound absorbers now. If some kind of moth wing inspired metamaterial can shrink the width of broadband sound absorbing panels by 10x that would be quite useful still.
Reaper and FabFilter getting on board would definitely help make this standard gain some momentum. The list of “Following companies and projects are already evaluating CLAP for their host and plug-in software” is pretty…

According to the sources I've read, it uses a tiled rasterizing architecture but it's not deferred in the same way as typical mobile TBDR that bins all vertexes before starting rasterization, deferring all rasterization…

In casual English “or” means “xor” most of the time.
I’m not sure I understand this argument. Why can’t users simply use the mouse wirelessly even if it’s possible to use in a wired way. Are you claiming that people would end up leaving the mouse plugged in, like they do…
Apple’s own wireless trackpad and wireless keyboards work while being plugged in. I think the sleek visual and ergonomic design specifically resulted in the charge port being put on the bottom, which resulted in their…
All else equal, having child related expenses later in life rather than earlier will only leave you richer due to time value of money. Assuming you plan ahead and save.
It’s more common in CS than engineering in my experience, when CS is part of the math department.
Agreed, I self hosted for many years and eventually gave it up. Maintaining high IP trust is tricky. A fun hack is to run a captcha-free fake forum and allow random bot signups to generate outbound mail volume and trust.
Their recent laptops use Apple silicon and are anything but an overheating mess. There are plenty of things to complain about but heat has been solved.
I’ve destroyed two MacBook Air screens, also because the lid isn’t particularly rigid. The MacBook Pro is definitely more durable, no issues after 12 years of owning them. I’m now much more careful with my MBA.
I will seek when the option is presented. It’s either tiny or nonexistent though (e.g. for gifs, or if the author didn’t enable the video controls, which default to disabled in many browsers). I’m happiest when a video…
