To be coldly analytical about this: how many people discovered in rubble are successfully rescued? It makes for good TV, but finding those people, orchestrating the movement of debris, while person is potentially injured, all given the cont

GIMP seems actively hostile to giving people what they want: a Photoshop clone. Even projects which would revamp the interface to be more Photoshop like were given the cold shoulder. At this point I have fully switched to Krita. I am not a

I think patching a game engine is fairly common in the industry. Games are not on a dependency update treadmill. They pick a version, and barring some external crisis, there is no reason to upgrade anything ever. If there is one bug affecti

Can they repeat for vegetarian? As an ethically conflicted meat-eater, I do try to limit my consumption where possible, but full vegan would be tremendously difficult for me to adhere to for any length of time. Eggs are nearly the perfect f

What is the modern power ranking on image formats? For lossless, what is typically the most efficient size wise? Decompression speed? For lossy? I am not in a situation where these micro-optimizations mean much to me, and always default to

I suppose it is what it is, but if ordering matters, it is only JSON-like in appearance. json.org says: >An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs.

SQLite says you should not attempt to access it: https://sqlite.org/draft/jsonb.html > JSONB is not intended as an external format to be used by applications. JSONB is designed for internal use by SQLite only. Progr

Does SQLite make any promises on the internal implementation? I assumed that the only guarantee was at the SQL interface.

Had she said she made the trade(s) on the basis of a tip, would that have been the better outcome? Was keeping her mouth shut an option?

When does it become a cover-up vs "oopsie, didn't know"? If he had dismantled the plane before the FAA knew about the crash, would that still qualify as destroying evidence?

I probably watch too much popular media, but I am only thinking of bigger crimes where it seems like the rational choice is to attempt a coverup. Murder? Check. Stealing a Snicker's bar? Probably just leave the evidence in place. What

Monitoring production is the piece I was missing. Was thinking of it as strictly for development. Unless it adds a bunch of overhead, seems like a no-brainer to enable.

That general story can happen with any tech stack. POC whipped together without good architecture. Having proven itself, usage increases until the application starts to burst at the seams. Program must be redesigned, avoiding performance go

They are related in that it is combining solar power + water storage. I believe the canal structure is elevated. Which might be initially more expensive for the scaffolding, but it strikes me as fewer long term complications vs direct water

+1 to that. Maybe SQLAlchemy is a better product, but being a bolted on solution makes everything about the ORM experience feel worse than using Django. If nothing else, it is not just using Flask+SQLAlchemy, now it is Flask+SQLAlchemy+Alem

Have a pitch on what differentiates this from django-toolbar? Just the focus on query count monitoring?

Non-performant code is going to eventually slip into any codebase. The trick is to monitor for when performance falls to an unacceptable level. Not toss all ORMs because some minority of generated queries are problematic. If maximum perform

I think those companies would kiss you on the mouth and do any unspeakable acts you requested were you able to promise a 100% equivalent system in Java. There is a ton of industry experience in turning working-but-trash Java into something

It has been a winning strategy for SoftBank. When there are gigantic sums of money sloshing around, the waste can become enormous.

Similar idea to Microsoft's Project Silica[0], though this is claiming much higher data density. Were I Google or AWS, I would buy them out immediately. If only to deny the other from getting potentially cheaper archival storage. Or ev

I am failing to see the difference. It is a zip file with an executable and a blob of weights. What would change if it were stored in a Dockerfile?

Assuming you mean they get all URL typos for free, probably a lot less than days past. How many people can only ever Google things? Directly typing in a URL has to be a tiny minority of users.

Really chomping into Microsoft's domain here. $195 / per device + $6/month usage. Which for corporate IT, is probably a bargain vs some depreciating hardware + Microsoft OS + Office licenses + backups/virus/etc. Edi

Was there a technical reason (minimize potential smearing? tearing of the paper?)? Or was it more symbolic attire? Would management wear it?

High end is going to remain state-of-the-art designs, but for 95%+ of consumers, they would be fully satisfied with a one gigabyte router/switch. I just did a search for 2013 routers (ie 10 year old designs) and gigabyte routers were a
