Exciting. For hobby projects, I was looking into what should be my programming language. Open source was a criteria. Now I have choice between Rust and Mojo.

Yes this is better than upload the entire photo. Just like virus scan can be done entirely on device, can flagging be local?. If homeomorphic encryption allows similarity matching, does not seem entirely private. Can people be matched?

>> "The caveat to this rule, of course, is that architectural differences are hard to overcome. Shared nothing databases are at a disadvantage vs shared disk, and it took Redshift many years to switch to a primarily shared disk architecture. Lakehouses that rely on persisting metadata to an object store will have a hard time with rapid updates; this is built into the model."

Looking for good literature on this topic

Google tax. Why such patterns are not outlawed?
Checking out further... Related course (https://cksystemsteaching.github.io/CS4All/) and book (https://github.com/ckirsch/book)
I read this as 173.12 of remaining savings "to invest" (and not entire savings)

Agree.

I have a BSNL net connection (with reliability going down from good to worse). Being public sectore, Central govt is accountable for BSNL quality.

The way BSNL value is/was destroyed to promote Reliance... is now repeating elsewhere.

You missed to mention towers destroyed is only of Jio (primary beneficiary of these laws is parent company Reliance)

>>While I am thankful to the Project Zero team for their informing us of the issue quickly, I'm troubled that they went ahead with disclosure before Google crawl team could complete the refresh of their own cache.

Why the help was not 100% appreciated...

>>Strictly saying this is confirming behavior as we don't give any guarantees about scheduler (just like any other language, e.g. C++). This can be explained as "the goroutine is just not scheduled".

Not a GO developer. On a multi-processor machine, how is this a conforming behavior? Is "scheduler cannot give any guarantees" acceptable?

Is NVidia GPU a must have... can I workaround?

>>If one of the hosts delays writing to the journal, then the rest of the fleet is waiting for that operation alone, and the whole file system is blocked. When this happens, all of the hosts halt, and you have a locked file system; no one can read or write anything and that basically takes everything down.

I have seen similar issues where a GC pause on one server, freeze the entire cluster.

Is this one single monolithic file system? On the service side, can the code be asynchronous with request queues for each shard? This can help free up threads from getting blocked and serve requests for other shards.

VB6 is still used in Indian Schools to teach programming. And it definitely is simpler than VB.NET for newbies.
