I don't know, it's a pretty leap for me to consider AI being hard to distinguish from human contributions. AI is predictive at a token level. I think the usefulness and power of this has been nothing short of astonishing; but thi

IIRC `MERGE` has been part of SQL for a while, but Postgres opted against adding it for many years because it's syntax is inherently non-atomic within Postgres's MVCC model. https://pganalyze.com/blog/5mins-po

I remember first moving to Philly and getting a SEPTA Key and thinking, "This is dumb, it's literally just a MasterCard. Why can't I use my credit card like NY?" Then a few years later they rolled out support for other

When I lived in Portland you technically _could_ pay TTP, but I don't quite count it because Hop pass accrual meant if you used TriMet regularly you needed a Hop card anyway. Just out of curiosity I checked around and it looks like th

I don't know what your frame of reference is, but BART is above average for US public transit payment systems. I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area CA, Portland OR, and Philadelphia PA over the last 10 years. All of those met

I also think asyncio missed the mark when it comes to it's API design. There are a lot of quirks and rough edges to it that, as someone who was using `gevent` heavily before, strike me as curious and even anti-productive.

I feel like this started/greatly accelerated when Guido stepped down as BDFL. Python at is on a path where the essence of what made it popular (readable, well designed, productive) is being crushed under the weight of it’s popularity.

The only point I put forth is that public fluoridation of water supplies doesn't infringe absolutely on an individual's right to informed consent to treatment since there is at least 1 method (moving) available that an individual

by gshulegaard 1y ago
You could always move to a country which doesn't fluoridate their water supply. But I am struggling to see how this has anything to do with a white paper highlighting and examining flaws in another white paper.

These days if you want a PostgreSQL based Data Warehouse both Citus and Timescale are extensions/PostgreSQL based databases I would consider before Redshift. But even in the 9.4 days (~a decade ago) I was pushing Terabytes worth of ana

I just briefly reviewed the README docs, I believe the KlongPy is a custom language which transpiles to Python. The REPL block you are trying to interpret is the KlongPy REPL not a Python one. Embedding KlongPy in a Python block would look

Let me try again, from the first link I shared: > The __slots__ declaration allows us to explicitly declare data members, causes Python to reserve space for them in memory, and prevents the creation of __dict__ and __weakref__ attribute

Nope, __slots__ exist explicitly as an alternative to __dict__: https://wiki.python.org/moin/UsingSlots Whether or not the performance matters...well that's somewhat subjective since Python has a fairly high perfo

I was in the same boat, but the 30 minute fast charging now makes me think that this actually might work. Sleep with it on, wake up, pop it on the charger while you get ready, bam basically a full charge by the time you leave the house. I

I have worked on teams that have both sharded and partitioned PostgreSQL ourselves (somewhat like Figma) (Postgres 9.4-ish time frame) as well as those that have utilized Citus. I am a strong proponent of Citus and point colleagues in that

Not everyone has a Costco membership or a Costco near them. There also doesn't seem to be any indication that there is a pre-arranged pricing arrangement for Amazon like Costco. Amazon is simply letting Hyundai dealerships list car in

While I agree with what you are saying in principle, I do want to point out that there is a massive difference between anecdotal evidence and _research_. In a purely academic sense, it is not an unreasonable statement to make that there is

I am not sure I understand how stream limit configuration between two L4/L7 load balancers is meaningfully different. In my mind, either the configuration of stream limits is a vulnerability for all L4/L7 load balancers that offe

There is a difference between an application being innately vulnerable and a user configuration exposing a vulnerability. Interestingly enough, HAProxy seems to have the same mitigation: > Until HAProxy dips below the configured stream l

I wouldn't set random_page_cost lower than seq_page_cost. It can cause the query planner to do wacky things (I learned the hard way). The documentation mentions it, but not as strongly as I think is warranted given how erratic my Pos

I think I would rephrase this question as why would I stop using emacs for VS code and intellij? Seriously, there is no feature they have that my emacs config doesn't (AFAICT after using Intellij and VS code each for 4+ years). But I
