Dude, just stop. You keep posting this crap everywhere when we are talking about rolling blackouts and brownouts, and here talking about having enough power in the winter. You're mad, we get it. But you're trying too hard to be ri

It's perfectly clear.

Outside of two events in recent memory Texas also doesn't have rolling blackouts or brownouts; they are simply unheard of.

It might actually be "working" though. Texas generally has quite cheap electricity, and is has a TON of renewable generation and investment. A spike here in there in pricing isn't evidence to me that it's not generally p

It's not correct. Texas has enough power in "the winter"; the average winter. A few outlier events don't change that unless your being hyperbolic.

> How do you address the argument that drug users go on to be a burden to society? I think there are point of views that are a much larger burden on society, and yet people are free to have them.

Woooahhhh 50k average? It's never crossed my mind to pay that much. Most of my friends don't own vehicles they paid more than 30k for and that includes a bunch of well-off software engineers. What's the median or if they excl

Yes, that's it! I've been working with .Net a lot recently and recalled Microsoft's announcement about them. Specialized runtime images for JRE, .NEt, Asp.Net, and etc.

It's not, Debian slim is ~28.8MB compressed.

This here. Honestly most orgs with uhh.. Let's say a more mature sense of ROI tradeoffs were doing this from pretty much the very beginning. Also, Ubuntu 22.04 is only 28.17MB compressed right now so it looks equiv to debian-slim. Ther

Size savings depends I guess on the workload. That home page example gets larger gzip'd so raw msgpack is smaller. Another comment says their data was considerably smaller vs json. Sometimes you can't gzip for various reasons. The

Is it? It's quite fast in DotNet..

by Rapzid 3y ago
I find MessagePack to be pretty great if you don't need schema. JSON serialization is unreasonably fast in V8 though and even message pack can't beat it; though it's often faster in other languages and saves on bytes.

Franchise owner makes 150k average on a store. Everything is purchased through corp so a tremendous amount of store revenue flows through them. The money for any land leasing comes from the fast food revenue. That is to say, it's an

Yep, Firefox should have allowed styling their scrollbars. Nobody wants those ugly ass scrollbars in their apps.

I was learning Golang nearly a decade ago while participating in a performance competition.. Asking questions about unsafe in Golang Nuts was nearly rage inducing. IMHO Copilot Chat has picked up on these bad habits.

This idea that "the USA can't manufacture anything any more" is bullshit. Just looks at all the stuff we DO manufacture like Boeing aircraft, the latest microprocessors, and most advanced spacecraft.

Sorry for the very late reply, but Aurora PostgreSQL isn't just wire protocol compatible like CockRoachDB. It actually is PostgreSQL modified for their service. It includes all your favorite PG extensions and even large object function

Honesty would be more impressed if marking the thread private was intentional to take focus off their falling asleep at the wheel. At least that would have indicated some competent leadership.

There isn't really secret sauce to it in 2023. The techniques, processes, and etc have pretty much been documented over the past 20 years. But if you are wondering how AWS manages to be so good at it at such scale? Hosting infrastructu
