Is there any advantage to this approach over Postgres native uuid support which should store the same number of bits?

Thanks, I'll give that a listen. Here is the Apple Podcast link to the same episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-joe-reis-show/id16... I've also experimented with duckdb whilst on a da

I could have done with this a while back. Seems much nicer than serverless framework.

How did you come to that conclusion? I inspected the bold cursive text, and Firefox dev tools tell me it's "Sriracha". https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sriracha?query=Sriracha

The issue with maritime insurance, is that ocean going vessels spend a great deal of time in other countries from where the owner registers the ship, and also time in international waters, which are not governed by the laws of any country.

Sometimes it is more important to work on proving you have a viable product and market to sell it in before you optimise. On the outside we can’t be sure. But it’s possible that they took the right decision to go with a naïve implementation

Insurance is by contract and either side can take claims to court if the contract is not upheld. I wouldn’t call that a gentleman’s agreement. The maritime system is complex. But it wasn’t just made up by a few people. It’s evolved continuo

It would be quite nice to have some of the S3 semantics on local files. Like no one else can the see the file until after you’ve finished writing the file and committed it. And being able to put almost any chara in the file name (key). That

I suspect the China issue was a carve out in the comment you replied too. Since they were referring to the west. As for Rome, it was never a Nation in the modern sense. It started as a city state and became an empire. My understanding is th

Most engineering (certainly that I know) is based on linear algebra. But of course there is a lot to learn in that field, but covering the basics can help understand a lot of engineering maths. Equations, differentiation, integration, parti

Cursor is electron/vscode based. Zed uses a custom built rust UI and editor model that gives 120fps rendering. (Or was it 60fps) It is really smooth on a Mac with ProMotion.

Interestingly I was just watching talk from Nick Lane, presented at the Royal Institution about mitochondria and respiration. What is amazing to me is that respiration isn’t just burning glucose to make ATP, it also makes many other essenti

I would prefer it if Mozilla continued is great rust rewrite, and innovate the core technologies. Just adopting Chrome's crumbs will mean giving up control and voice in stearing the web technologies.

I have the same problem in Safari with Wipr, and iCloud Private relay. But I still have it as my default browser. Firefox with uBlock origin works much better, and I use for most reading, research, coding related things. Arc for hacker new

Try TreeStyleTabs plugin, it's great. It also works well with Firefox Multi Account Containers, so you can keep peronal, work, research, shopping in different containers, so cookies aren't shared. I love that I can start a web se

Faster feedback is the shortcut. And it always works. Faster boot time is lower latency to serve the queue. Faster feedback is stabilising.

So should you be able to terminate any contract for no reason and no notice whenever you want? Or should you be able to go to court and sue for breach of contract?

A missing feature of the App Store is that it does not support screen savers. You can only download an app that spits out a screen saver. I would love the ability to download free and paid screensavers from the App Store that are sandboxed

That’s not how most apps work. They tend to allocate memory for specific purposes and free it when done. Only more heavy apps will retain large buffer pools, like databases but they are usually tunable. And apps themselves don’t page to di

Yes 60m downloads is a lot of downloads. But it’s not 60m developers manually clicking the download link every week. Not is it 60m times that “npm install rimraf” has been called. What is happening is that many projects, some big some jus

If you turn off the cell radio on your phone then it won’t emit cell phone signals. Apart from that you must send a signal to be able to receive calls and data packets. And that signal encodes your location.

Use pnpm, it hard likes the files in node_modules to a content addressable ‘store’. It makes ‘pnpm install’ pretty fast.

From my previous reading on the subject, HDMI comes from the TV world, and DVI comes from the computer monitor world. On a computer display, you want each pixel to be square and to be visible on the screen, a border around all the pixles do

Each parent supplies half the genetic material. But each sperm and each egg have a randomly different set of one half of each chromosomes. So if you have 10 children chances are they each have a unique set of chromosomes.

Adding paprika to ready salted crisps is pretty effective. I bet it would work with other spices too. The thing is that you can buy one big bag, and then tune the flavours, for example if one person doesn’t like paprika.

So are you saying we couldn’t estimate the structural properties of autonomous built dry walls from local stone? Or that the error bars would be unacceptably large? Or just that this approach would only work with certain stone in certain lo

So could catagorization of local stone based on acoustic and visual indicators, combined with random sampling and strength testing provide the assurance needed that a wall will have the required structural properties?
