I'm suspicious of load shedding not mentioned in the article. Combine that with exp backoff in the caller and you got yourself a pretty robust starting point

is OP the same Michael Church who's posts I may have read on Quora 10-12 years ago?

Mojo's OSS status doesn't prevent us from evaluating its memory model, writing and benchmarking kernels in it, etc
Re:GPU Offload in Rust: Portable, Safe, and Fast on Monday August 17, 2026 @04:27PM (#49337151)
does anyone know Mojo well enough to comment how Rust + gpu-offload compares to it?

Ask HN: What are you building with Mojo lang?

Looks like there is only one Show HN post in the last year about a project written in Mojo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48910825I've been looking into porting OpenCL kernels and curious if anyone else is doing anything with Mojo

Don't get discouraged. I found a good 100% remote role through HN by posting and reading monthly "who's hiring" and "who wants to get hired" threads. Unfortunately we don't have open heads right now.
Re:Ask HN: How many hours do you work? on Saturday July 11, 2020 @11:49PM (#23808648)
SrSDE / Scala. Not normal. I used to do 37-38 hours as contractor. Little bit more as a fulltime, but there is some overlap with my hobbies.
Yeah, long term. Also, idk if that was the intention or if it will work. I just tried to think of any theoretical benefits.

Not shure what universities are doing. There are a lot of them. So far I've heard that Harvard will continue charging the same while pushing big chunk of students online.

You're right about benefits of foriegn capital flowing into US through international students. Net result can very well be negative.

Driving down aggregate demand for higher education can help bring down the cost (how effectively would depend on the elasticity of supply, which I'm not sure about). Fresh grads coming out of college with less debt should lead to higher aggregate spending in other sectors.
Re:Ask HN: Ubuntu getting slower, what is alternative? on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @08:13PM (#23318033)
I switched to Manjaro 2 years ago after 12 years on Ubuntu (since Edgy Eft) and never looked back.
