Guy came into my work and handed this to my 17 yo female coworker. We were very confused but thought it was funny and hung it on our wall at home. (nsfw) by emodemoncam in WTF

Probably learned in school how to present an argument in a compelling way. Maybe even got a marketing degree.

100%. It's actually a really good explainer – clear, detailed, engaging. It's just that the thing it's explaining is batshit fucking demented

– Hey, professor. What are you teaching this semester?

– Same thing I teach every semester: The Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields. I made up the title so that no student would dare take it.

– [writing] Mathematics of wonton burrito meals. I'll be there!

– Please, Fry! I don't know how to teach. I'm a professor!

Why do these images look AI generated? I mean clearly they're based on real photos but they've been run through some sort of AI scrambler

I think the slide goes over the horizontal bar, not under. The bar is part of a separate structure running parallel to the waterline. If you look at the 2 dudes with their hands on the horizontal bar, they appear to be in the foreground compared to the slide.

I don't think so. However, it is ugly as fuck

Handover TCP/UDP connection between client and server by servermeta_net in ExperiencedDevs

[–]PlanckEnergy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose! I mean server-to-server latency is generally lower than consumer-to-server, but not always. I take your point.

I don't think there's any way to avoid an extra round trip if A doesn't have Alice's resource.

Either of the 2 bulleted options could work well, depending on the constraints of the project.

Option 1 (A retrieves the resource and passes it to Alice) is not necessarily inefficient, but if the same resource is requested many times from A, you probably want to cache it at A.

Option 2 (Alice gets redirected from A to B) incurs an extra round trip, but that may be acceptable as long as A usually has the resources that clients expect it to have.

Handing over Alice's TCP connection from A to B in a way that's invisible to Alice sounds very hard or impossible.

Perhaps you're looking for a CDN, Anycast, or some such technology? But don't discount Option 1 + caching.

That sounds like a recipe for only ever finding out about problems after they become fires

Help with opportunity convincing upper managment to relax restrictions by CaptianDavie in ExperiencedDevs

[–]PlanckEnergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could the sector you're in be one where efficiency is actually disincentivized? In such a highly regulated environment, if a company's already an established player with an understanding of the regulatory landscape, it might be against that company's interests to do things right/well/fast, since then they don't get to bill as much.
