“level triggered” vs “edge triggered” is the kubernetes term for stateless vs stateful. It’s one of the reasons why any cluster configuration drift becomes eventually consistent with desired state.

As one of the 60%, its not about deity worship, but more about a sense of stability. Especially where the monarchy has effectively zero involvement in daily life. When looked at from a P&L basis the crown is pretty good value. Certainly compared to all the alternatives that have been tried.

> Davis Adams, who works at Honda and drives an S2000, told me about a Lotus Elise he used to own that had a motion sensor. "If you locked the door, and moved your hand in the open air," he said, "the alarm would go off. So if you left a dog in the car, or someone leaned in the open convertible to look, it'd trigger the alarm."
20 year Lotus Elise owner here. I have had thieves slash the roof and and steal items. And I would never leave a dog alone in it.

Re:What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014)

Perfect example of the trough of disillusionment. The ORM slope of enlightenment comes when you realise the power of the unit of work, not just a single query. But that was then, and microservices mean we no longer use large units of work. So ORMs without complex UoW make less sense.

Re:SoftBank set to sell UK’s Arm Holdings to Nvidia for $40B
on Sunday September 13, 2020 @03:29AM (#24459100)
Mali was an ARM acquisition. It makes sense for NVidia to smash Mali and RTX together to allow Android manufacturers to compete against Apple.
Apple built their GPU studio from ex-Imagination staff and will introduce 3 GPUs over the next year: Sicilian, Tonga, Lifuka to support their mobile and desktop plans.
The question is whether ARM will sub license this combined GPU tech, or if it will be NVidia silicon only.

Sounds like they are building a new OS written in rust sitting at the level of bios, beneath a standard Linux kernel. This will be an open source bios running at or below the hypervisor supervisor ring level.
