On: JuiceFS is a distributed POSIX file system built on top of Redis and S3

[ChocolateGod]

Let's remember that JuiceFS can be setup very easily to not have a single point of failure (by replicating the metadata engine), meanwhile ZeroFS seems to have exactly that.

If I was a company I know which one I'd prefer.

Apple TV and Music also use Svelte.

On: Roam 50GB is now Roam 100GB

And 6 years later it's still as terrible.

Can you even consider Android a singular OS? I personally don't in the same way I don't consider Fedora and Ubuntu the same OS, and there's far more differences between something like HyperOS and AOSP/PixelUI as there is between Ubuntu and Fedora.

Android is an app platform.

App platforms are operating systems.

I think you're confusing CLI tools for React with web components.

Stop using your computer wrong

On: My Snapdragon Dev Kit was healthy and working fine until a Windows update failed

[ChocolateGod]

If it updated the UEFI it could be that somehow the UEFI now starts the hardware wrong (RAM setup maybe?) that causes it to be unstable.

On: Tube trains could navigate the Underground using the rules of Quantum Physics

[ChocolateGod]

If you have fixed beacons with a known location, couldn't the devices work out their location?

Seems like an engineered solution to rely on "quantum".

As others have suggested: this is a test for military technology. When the enemy has jammed your fixed beacons you can't work out your position from them. Probably nobody will do this on a train (and they have other technology anyway), but for an airplane this is a real problem.

The signals bounce off the tunnels a lot

On: JavaScript engines zoo – Compare every JavaScript engine

[ChocolateGod]

Is there any benchmarks between engines that record memory usage?

How many of these engines are chasing benchmarks at the cost of increased memory usage?

[ivankra → ChocolateGod]

I captured max RSS size while running benchmarks as a rough approximation, but it's not exposed anywhere. If you go to the repo, you can run `./bench/compare -f rss_mb -lT bench/amd64/*.json` to see a table in the terminal. No big surprises there, Java engines (Rhino, Nashorn, GraalJS) are most memory-hungry.

On: Marmot – A distributed SQLite server with MySQL wire compatible interface

[ChocolateGod]

I wonder if you could tie this with Litestream to get streamed backups.

[maxpert → ChocolateGod]

We already support debezium so you can do more than backups :D
