AI != slop. Just because I'm positive about AI doesn't mean I want to consume slop. I personally use AI for productive means, not to write and publish low-quality articles.

"Betäubung" has a similar etymology as "narcotic". Both mean to numb the senses or put to sleep (hence e.g. "narcolepsy"), and in German it's therefore also used for sedatives and anesthetic drugs. In mode

This is AI slop, as has been pointed out by several other commenters. Flagged.

I'm surprised none of the design decisions considered an indirection between the folder tree structure and the actual files. For example, if you map folders like /foo and /foo/bar to numeric IDs, then each file can simpl

Go and Java both have green threads, and are not interpreted nor limited to single threaded GC.

That explains it. I think async closures were stabilized a year ago. Before that, you'd have needed to write out the async signature as non-async with futures (that's what async is syntactic sugar for, anyway). Something like:

I'm not a Rust expert by any means, but I'm surprised to hear this. In my Rust code, doing anything with a database connection is not at all different from, say, Go or TypeScript. For example, I use the deadpool-postgres crate for

I've been using Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA as my main IDE for Go, Rust, TypeScript, etc. for the last 3 years, and this Christmas I switched to Zed, and I'm not looking back. I was admittedly skeptical of Zed in the beginning, becaus

Look at how Jetbrains IDEs do it. It's a solved UX problem, as far as I'm concerned. Jetbrains opens up a lightweight floating panel which can also be docked. So you can choose how to view the results. Like Zed, the results view i

Do you have a link? A biotech company called Cortexyme already tried a drug against P. gingivalis , which causes gum disease, based on the idea that these bacteria migrate to the brain (many old people who died of AD have gum disease and t

I see several people here who appear to be replying to the headline rather than actually reading the article (well, podcast transcript, technically). What you mention is already discussed extensively in the podcast episode, and Matt Shrag (

There are definitely hybrid OLTP-OLAP databases, or HTAP (Hybrid Transaction and Analytical Processing). Microsoft and, I believe, Oracle both have HTAP tech. The most novel design, I think, is CedarDB (developed by Thomas Neumann's da

I absolutely loved The Crystal World. It's a unique, weird fever dream of a novel. I still find myself thinking about it at random times, even while being unsure if the book really makes sense. The Burning World is rarely talked about.

That combo is naproxen/esomeprazole. The brand name is Vimovo, but they don't have a patent, so you can get it as a generic. To work, though, it has to be taken 30 minutes before food.

Laowa (aka Venus Optics) makes a range of excellent macro lenses, too. I use the 65mm f/2.8 2x macro with my Fujifilm cameras, and supposedly it improves on even Fujifilm's famous 80mm macro in sharpness. Another fun, small one is

Good points. I don't have a lot of experience with DuckDB in a production setting, but my team uses ClickHouse, where we ingest log and instrumentation data into materialized views at high volume. What I think saves the segmented/

As a long-term Lightroom user (who's never used DaVinci Resolve before), to me this doesn't look like it's positioned to compete with LR as a primary photo library/editor tool. If that is their goal, then I think it&#x27

How does this (or DuckLake for that matter) handle sparseness and fragmentation of the differential storage? My experience with B+trees, at least, is that pages get spread all over the place, so if you run a normal query, page 537 may be in

Cyclamate is used in some parts of Europe (like Germany) together with aspartame and acesulfame-K. I find the cyclamate smoothens the somewhat bitter aftertaste. Cyclamate is banned in the US based on a flawed 1969 study that supposedly sho

I made Open Cola once, and hooked it up to CO2 canisters and a beer tap (the other tap had home made beer). It's certainly better than mixing with soda water or using a SodaStream.

I answered that. It wasn't expensive. Building up the stockpile was expensive (but only on paper; financed via treasury debt), but once stored, it required very little maintenance because it was all held underground in porous rock. The

This is great, I've been annoyed by this since forever. But I note with disappointment that is quite buggy: - For apps that are set to appear on every space, they sometimes don't accept focus after switching to another space. Prob
