How to Make Things Slower So They Go Faster

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 05:10:10

Synchronized demand is the moment a large cohort of clients acts almost together. In a service with capacity $\mu$ requests per second and background load $\lambda_0$, the usable headroom is $H = \mu - \lambda_0 > 0$. When $M$ clients align—after a cache expiry, at a cron boundary, or as a service returns from an outage—the bucketed arrival rate can exceed $H$ by large factors. Queues form, timeouts propagate, retries synchronize, and a minor disturbance becomes a major incident. The task is to

Foundation season three is closing in on its finale, but there’s still a trio of action-packed episodes to go. io9 got a chance to talk to Brandon P. Bell, who plays Captain Han Pritcher; he’s a new character this season but has a name Foundation book readers will immediately recognize. On the Apple TV+ show based on the Isaac Asimov stories, Pritcher is entwined in multiple storylines. He’s the Foundation’s top intelligence officer, at least until he has a major falling-out with his boss. But

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-11-04 11:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

Japan's Creepiest Station

news.ycombinator.com Ben Leighton 2025-11-06 02:44:58

However, if travelling northbound in the direction of Niigata, the station takes on a vastly different character. The northbound platform is a 15 minute walk away from the main station building. A majority of this walk consists of a 70m descent down almost 500 steps into the Shin-Shimizu tunnel. The descent is terrifying, with little vision of what awaits you at the end as you venture further and further into the depths. Water from the nearby rivers can also be heard trickling into the tunnel at

Subaru Solterra first drive: Big improvements in all the right places for 2026

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-06 08:00:23

When Subaru's first electric car launched in late 2021, the Solterra had something of a problem: It wasn't exactly competitive in any of the major factors that EV buyers typically look for. Its 220-mile range and 215-horsepower output were middling at best when compared to vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. Its quirky styling didn't exactly help, either. For 2026, Subaru is giving the Solterra a significant up-do. Don't call it a reboot, as it's still very much the same SUV as before, but with mo
