Hiccup It has been proposed that the hiccup is an evolutionary remnant of earlier amphibian respiration. Amphibians such as tadpoles gulp air and water across their gills via a rather simple motor reflex akin to mammalian hiccuping. The motor pathways that enable hiccuping form early during fetal development, before the motor pathways that enable normal lung ventilation form. Additionally, hiccups and amphibian gulping are inhibited by elevated carbon dioxide and may be stopped by GABA-B receptor agonists, illustrating a possible shared physiology and evolutionary heritage.

I once left my coffee cup and a clipboard on the wing of an airplane similar to the one below, got in, started the engines, and then said to myself now for a big sip of coffee

sounding very straightforward, sir
Kafka's semantics are straightforward. When publishing a message we have a notion of the message being "committed" to the log. A message is considered committed only when all replicas in the in-sync replicas (ISR) for that partition have applied it to their log. Once a published message is committed, it will not be lost as long as one broker that replicates the partition to which this message was written remains "alive". The definition of committed message and alive partition as well as a description of which types of failures we attempt to handle will be described in more detail in the next section. For now let's assume a perfect, lossless broker and try to understand the guarantees to the producer and consumer. If a producer attempts to publish a message and experiences a network error, it cannot be sure if this error happened before or after the message was committed. This is similar to the semantics of inserting into a database table with an autogenerated key.

I remember we had about a 6-month setback where our finite element analysis showed that the weld material that was proposed by Apollo Forge, the people that were actually doing the forging and construction, would have been in yield at our service depth.

maxSegmentSize (integer) The ParameterArchive stores data in segments, each segment storing multiple samples of the same parameter. This option configures the maximum segment size. The parameter archive accumulates data in memory to fill the segments, in parallel for all parameters. This option affects thus the memory consumed when the parameter archive is being filled. The segment size is limited by the duration of an interval, a segment cannot be larger than \(2^{23}\) milliseconds (approximately 139 minutes). Starting with Yamcs 5.10 the segments from an interval are merged together inside RocksDB such that when retrieving there is only one segment for each interval. In order to reduce the memory consumption during parameter archive buildup, the default value of this setting has been changed from 5000 to 500. Default: 500
