Every person I've asked (here in Sweden) who opted out of COVID-19 vaccination made their decision based on one year of case data covering the two first waves, which to them concluded that statistically they were at no risk based on th

Ripping these original vinyl editions is already somewhere on my list of things-to-do-before-I-get-too-old. Currently I don't have a functional pickup for my record player. I will get around to it, some day. The Switched-On Boxed Set (

Owed to my father's long interest in electronic music, I'm the thankful owner of several of the 1960s/1970s original print Walter Carlos-attributed vinyl records and a few of the 1980s Wendy Carlos-attributed ones. Switched-O

Nobody really knows. Firefox is 350 MiB in size. The Windows XP SP3 install CD is 310 MiB in size.

Oh, that's exactly the answer I was looking for. I didn't read the entire article. Thank you for locating it for me.

Does anyone happen to know if gTLD operators are allowed to make price hikes targeted at a specific premium domain name? For example if the operator noticed that the product/brand/company/site associated with some domain had

Your hunch is off. We version-control DDL/DML/DQL/etc. like any other software.

If the suggestion truly is to try squeeze as much utility as possible out of a single RDMBS setup, and if you already need and use an RDBMS, then I would consider it as an option. If not, it's an absolutely idiotic choice. And that&#x2

We tick all the boxes. Please contain your arrogant presumptions.

It's not. You're just making guesses.

We version-control our SPs/funcs. We have unit tests, we have integration tests.

"Use Postgres for caching instead of Redis with UNLOGGED tables and TEXT as a JSON data type." What the heck?! No!
975.
by daneel_w 4y ago
I second that. SPs/funcs have this weird tendency to always stay hidden in the fringes and out of sight, easily forgotten when adding new functionality, easily overlooked when making changes elsewhere.

Python 3 really changed a lot, more than I realized. My experiences with Nuitka are against Python 2 from a couple of years back, at a point where Nuitka marketed itself using its performance increases and brought (at least) a 3-5x speedup

by daneel_w 4y ago
Nuitka's primary aim is performance, more so than self-contained deployment. It's a bit strange to pit Nuitka against "shipping with Docker". It's also surprising to hear that you saw no performance benefits at all

About two weeks ago all three of our Aurora DB instances in eu-central-1 suddenly crashed and were offline, to no avail, for almost 55 minutes. Simultaneously we had random network problems going on within our eu-central-1 VPC which we were

The immediate difference is that everyone is affected by the Great Firewall, not just "designated persons". How it turns out in practical use surely remains to be seen.

All rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time, with every cycle. If you think you're sitting a scoop that you can prove then you should let the world know.

So effectively you only get to use 25% of what has been manufactured and what you pay for? What a terrible waste.

Same with ink cartridges from all inkjet manufacturers. It's a massive case of fraud and environmental crime in one.

Unlike the UUID scheme, strings of completely random characters don't sort/tree-index very well. Apart from that they are, in my opinion, a much better alternative.

I have so many great memories from the 90s attending small copy parties in Sweden - it's what we called them back then, before they became known as LAN parties.

Why would anyone, these days, need a discrete GPU for surfing the web? This detail, too, just like the CPU, falls short on the fact that making actual use of its power cuts battery time down to nothing. They should just market it for what i

In my early 20s when I worked as an electrician I never felt that 40 hour long weeks were too much. Working as a programmer I definitely feel that it is way too much. The head (mine at least) really needs a lot more time to recuperate.

Do 10 hours of battery life "while surfing the web with Wi-Fi" really strike anyone as a strong argument these days? I'm a bit uncertain. I got 9 hours of the same out of my 2017 MacBook Air's measly battery when it was

Sort of common in the nordics. We have lots of them in Sweden, the self-service type for short crossings to sparsely populated islands, but the power cable usually drives a winch attached to a steel cable.
