I also built a NIF wrapping QuickJS-NG recently to enable "code mode" on our MCP server.

I love this, but I don't have a 3D printer. Is there a service that could print this for me?
"Google/Firefox claim their tracking features are not "tracking" because they use something called "differential privacy". I don't have room to explain this class of technology, but I sincerely consider it to be fake."

Differential privacy is not fake, although quite complex to do in practice.

One thing I find frustrating about the Github Actions's runner pricing is that it's calculated on a minute basis. Couldn't you bill by the second instead? Maybe set a minimum to 1 min but after that charge by the second?

I assume this is done to cover the time that the VM reboots between jobs?

"We would say Cassandra is a columnar data store, alongside the Scylla or HBase."

Cassandra and Scylla are row based distributed key value stores.

Re:Alphabet selling Google Domains assets to Squarespace on Thursday June 15, 2023 @10:26PM (#36350261)
It’s pretty crazy that you can’t setup a custom 3rd party name server. I can’t even transfer my domain from one Cloudflare account to another without transferring my domain to another registrar…

I'm not sure if I missed the announcement, but was there a timeline shared for a first alpha/beta release?
Re:Disposable Root Servers on Friday October 14, 2022 @10:12PM (#33210974)
Pretty cool, useful if you need a SOCKS proxy to access blocked services.

e.g. `ssh -v -D 30314 -q -C -N [email protected]`

Very interesting. Does anyone know how stable the InnerTube API is?

Re:Build an Elixir Redis Server that’s faster than HTTP on Friday November 12, 2021 @06:55PM (#29205928)
I’m sorry but this benchmark is not testing the underlining protocol but the clients themselves (pooling mechanism, pipelining, keep-alive, etc). The Redis protocol is probably faster to parse than HTTP but not a 100x factor.
Re:Decentralized ETS Counters for Better Scalability on Monday August 23, 2021 @01:07PM (#28278908)
Not sure if Kjell Winblad is around to answer questions, but I'm curious about the sharp performance drop-off (14M -> 5M) at 32 processes for the 50% write/ 50% delete benchmark. What's the bottleneck there?

Re:A Brief Guide to OTP in Elixir on Thursday October 01, 2020 @09:35PM (#24657909)
Well, the sys behavior is easy to implement.

I also am not a fan of the complexity and overhead of gen_server so instead I use metal (http://github.com/lpgauth/metal). It's a simple receive loop with an optional init and terminate callback. It implement sys and can be supervised.

This is amazing. Huge props to Lukas Larsson and the OTP team!

mixing simd and non-simd load is not recommended.

Re:An Update on Bradfitz: Leaving Google on Monday January 27, 2020 @04:17PM (#22163878)
Oh wow, I remember reading this back in the day.
Samsung Smart TVs do not take screenshots as far as I know. They do audio and video fingerprinting. It would be way too costly and inificient to upload screenshots for content recognition (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_content_recognitio...).

Disclaimer: I work for Samsung, but not directly in the TV software.
