I used to use sensodyne for cold-sensitive teeth, but they changed ingredients to include something I’m now allergic to. Or I recently developed an allergy to whatever their unchanged ingredients are. I have yet to find a replacement for it

Increased thrust requirements for airliners that force planes to hit an increased v1 (or whatever it's called) sooner on the runway to allow for more time to reject takeoff.

I don't think "while retaining ordering" is something you want to include here, since you can't guarantee processing order for any MQ system without serializing the consumption down to a single consumer.

What do you mean "no concept...of asking?" During consumption, you must either auto-commit offsets, or manually commit them. If you don't, you'll get the same events over and over again.

It "disappears" in the sense that the Consumer-Group that read/committed that message (event) will never see it again. It doesn't "disappear" in the sense that a new Consumer-Group can be started in a way that

If the data-center depletes the water table used for surrounding wells, whether the "released water" is still "available" is irrelevant to those dependent on wells for water. e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. See https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ “But just to be sure, I got in touch with a friend of mine who works at a research reactor, and asked him what he thought would happen to you if

“Probably has a seat at the table for technology direction” is a wild take to me. So much so that I can’t even formulate a response other than “what…?!”

By “independently” I meant that one room could be heating/cooling while other rooms aren’t doing anything at all. Or one room could be warmer/cooler than another. As opposed to central unit’s all-or-nothing approach.

Mini-splits these days are available as multi-head (I think that’s the term) units, where a single outside unit can supply 2,4, or 6 units individually and independently. They’re remarkable, and I would go for a mini-split system over a cen

I would have loved a class on the Theory of Version Control. Unfortunately, I didn't learn about it until my first job after I graduated. Architectures (centralized, distributed), implementations (diffs, patches, full state, etc.), br

What the United States has just demonstrated is that it's idiotic to rely on them for anything fundamentally vital when its government can drastically and dramatically go manic/bi-polar ever 4 years

"Meanwhile, a 2020 ICE is pretty much the same as a 2025 ICE aside from the wear and tear." One would think and hope so, however numerous ICE manufacturers, even long-term reliability experts like Honda, have been adopting "w

If the scammer is attempting to login to the actual account (which requires 2fa), asking the scammee for the code will allow the scammer to login and do all the things. The scammer is using the victim as the 2fa directly.

In this context, "gas" is "natural gas" delivered continuously through pipelines directly to your property. Propane is delivered by truck periodically, and stored in tanks on your property. Gasoline and diesel would al

Back in the last century, Mathematica was like this as well. On Macs, "return" wouldn't run the command you entered, you had to hit "enter" from the numpad. Shift-return may have worked as well, but it's been

You can see this first hand in Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Home series on Apple TV. He and a childhood friend ride motorcycles through Northern Europe, and take a side trip to Svalbard. Their guide there said the glacier was 30m further north

I’ve been wanting to buy a copy of Flowers for Algernon. It’s easy too, my local Barnes and Noble has it in stock. But it’s $19 (in paperback!) for a book published almost 60 years ago.

IMO, Stick with the books please. The tv series you mention mischaracterizes everyone.

That’s pretty much just Feynman’s algorithm but with more steps: 1. Write down the problem. 2. Think real hard. 3. Write down the solution.

Then rewrite them to another topic. Nevermind, complex multithreading sounds like the better solution
