What makes a motherboard a NAS motherboard, precisely? I've got a decent Mini-ITX sitting around and I've been contemplating setting up/getting a NAS. Would be nice if I could re-use what I already have and save some money.
Readit NewsVery interesting. Almost feels like a cosmic implementation of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Am I missing something or is the author using dots for both breaking up large numbers and also for decimal points?

It’s slow.
Example:
quicksort [] = []
quicksort (p:xs) = (quicksort lesser) ++ [p] ++ (quicksort greater)
where
lesser = filter (< p) xs
greater = filter (>= p) xs
It’s really complicated. Everybody includes lenses https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens I don’t want to read all that stuff just for imperative syntax.
It’d both slow and hard to read. Compare these two: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
The c examples complexity lies in using SIMD. If you know simd it’s easy. You should know simd, it’s useful. The Haskell example is drivel. Long complicated and in the end hopelessly slow compared to the c example. You could als use simd in Haskell, but then it would just be C with extra steps.
The Haskell looks much better, and I don't even know Haskell.
> If you know simd it’s easy.
Surely "if you know Haskell it's easy" is equally applicable.

This is amazing! The visual style is stunning. This actually comes very close to a style of game I've wanted to exist for a long time. The premise being this: You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey. Making sacrifices in power and computing ability to resolve problems that occur throughout the ship.
I have pages of notes for a game like this that I've been thinking about since university, largely inspired by Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse. This game reminded me of it too, maybe I'll get to it one day.

"DynamoDB uses synchronous replication across multiple data centers for high durability and availability"
This does not seem scalable for OLTP type load on some busy store. Again I think you'll be way better of money wise hosting your own database on real hardware either on prem or colocated
DynamoDB is used by Amazon.com.
"Across the 48 hours of Prime Day, these sources made 7.11 trillion calls to the DynamoDB API, peaking at 45.4 million requests per second." [1]

What is Physics SE? I really liked knzhou's explanation and would like to know where else answers like these are posted
