I have some graduated resistance hand exercise balls and bands for various exercise (different variations on squeezing, mobility, and extending fingers). I stare out the window at things far away while doing hand exercises. I did pick the t

I will note that you are not responding to what you have quoted, but to an extreme re-interpretation. The OP says "exert some mastery over", which is a far cry from the "full control" you say some people cannot have.

I can recommend the Waking Up app. It has a well paced and well done introduction to mindfulness in a very similar style to the linked article. If interested, I can share a link for a free 30-day trial. I have no affiliation and get no kick

Alpine Linux is a very minimal base built around busybox and musl libc. Void is another minimalist distro offering a choice of glibc or musl, and using runit as an init. If you want more choices of init and a bleeding edge rolling release,

The semantic model in Power BI is not tightly coupled to the tool. It is an SSAS Tabular model. It is pretty trivial to migrate a Power BI model to Analysis Services (Microsoft's server component for semantic models, hostable on-prem o

Except Microsoft's report editor, Power BI, includes a powerful columnstore database that can handle importing and rapidly aggregating 100Ms or even 1Bs of records with query response times of just a couple seconds. That has been the d

I believe they are talking about a situation where S6 is pid1 / system init, starting "system" services (I know the distinction is not in S6), aka things configured by root. I'd expect DNS, cron, NTP, SSH to be in that l

I think you're confusing your kiloseconds with megaseconds. * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour: 3600 seconds per hour * 1 kilosecond = 16 minutes and 40 seconds * 24 hours per day: 86,400 +/- 1 seconds per day * 1,000,0

I've never had the fans that loud in mine. I intentionally don't have a dGPU, because I have no need for it. The cooling is fine on the base unit with APU only. The CPU temp can get high, but that is expected for these chips. They

It will take a lot more market penetration for Framework to exert such an influence. They are too small to form a threat to market share of major players, and thus too small to do more than form some awareness. Awareness is not a financial

Absolutely agreed on all points. I like UUIDs. There is still a surprising number of data processing systems which don't have support for 128 bit integers. This makes me sad.

I work primarily in data analytics. It tends to become noticeable in my experience as soon as you're at a few million records[0] on at least one side of a relationship. Especially as we see more columnar databases in analytics, the row

Until you want faster joins, in which case, comparisons of integers tend to be much faster on hardware I am aware of than string comparisons.
