Indeed, mea culpa it is too late. I ultimately had to go to the source to confirm: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-... Where it was clearer: > Even so, the gains for both

I am going to assume the original comment-or simply didn't think about inflation (common mistake...which is further understandable since the graphic doesn't make it obvious whether or not it is nominal dollars or adjusted dollars)

I greatly appreciate your positivity! Experience is a great expertise builder for sure, although I find the more experience I get the more technical expertise I realize I don't have. A bit ironic now that I am thinking about it in tho

This is the type of thing that I hope make into a tool like postgresqltuner, although I must confess this is the first time I have heard of it (great looking utility though!). I am more of a generalist that happens to have spent time scali

Exactly! Reduce "random_page_cost" down (default is 4) and this becomes a non-issue. It's just one of the less well known things and somewhat difficult to diagnose. What I mean is that what you will see is your database re

Oh that is a self-coined term...sorry! Basically (as I understand it as a layman) the query planner can "choose" to perform a sequential scan instead of use an index when executing a query. For "normal" sized workloads

Thanks for that! Been doing a lot of Postgres work but first time seeing that slide deck.

Sorry for the long, rambling comment. After I wrote it I wasn't sure it added much, but since I invested so much time writing it I figured someone might find something in it useful so in that off chance I am posting it. --- Those were

I could be wrong, but this PEP feels to me like it only got accepted because Guido is stepping (or stepped) back from his BDFL role. It has noticeably more rough edges and less consistency than most feature adds I have seen in the past.

All of those benefits were solved problems with VM based workflows using something like Vagrant long before Containers started gaining traction (IMO). Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of containers (in particular LXC), but I wouldn'

Ah yeah, I have similar feelings. BumbleBee was promising at one time: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/FAQ But seems kind of dead now. https://www.bumblebee-project.org/

Graphics switching remains somewhat painful in the Linux ecosystem. There are options but nothing that quite achieves the seamlessness of Windows or Mac solutions. Did you get the System76 with PopOS? I was impressed with my last one with

Ah man, you are describing my ideal laptop as well. I don't have a solution for you, but I have had good experiences with System76 in the past and am hoping that upcoming laptop refreshes should start to hit those points or me as well.

I think it's astute of you to point out that the Signal developers do not value chat history the same way many people do, but I am not sure I track with this: > It's not a technical issue - they just think you're wrong whe

Not quite the same. I moved away from Django some years ago when I ran into a bug that I traced back to the Django ORM. At the time it was neither obvious to fix nor easy to replace the Django ORM with something like SQL Alchemy. It’s not

Eh, I feel like I have a 50% chance of a game working in proton. Age of Empires II works, but has multiplayer issues (which, while it "works" in GloriusEggroll's 5.21 build, that's about all it is since I get frame stut

Just to temper expectations, gaming on Linux is still not a plug and play type experience (although it is a LOT closer than it was 5 years ago). Even games that have reasonable performance on Linux may require custom builds of Proton, winet

Hmmm, this is an interesting take, but I think you are expanding the scope of "core to _your_ business" a bit much. Product marketing, sales, and distribution are shared between _all_ businesses so unless you are a marketing, sal

Ah, but if it is core to your business flywheel that is precisely where you should be spending the most time.

I love this comment because it articulates a dynamic that I think is often overlooked much better than I could. I might even go a step farther and suggest that anything that is core to your business flywheel should be built and not bought

To add to this, bundling IE with Windows effectively killed the browser market. Netscape anyone? Microsoft was even subject to an anti-trust case centered around their IE handling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United

I believe that it's a reference to the colloquialism that references how matadors use red capes to fight bulls: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=seeing%20red So Team Red -> Seeing Red -> Bull?

Never said we should. Just because they are part of the problem doesn't mean they have to be part of the solution.

I would second this and take it a step further and point out that the right to free speech is not the right to freely say whatever you want. This is particularly sticky when it comes to misinformation. Currently we have systems which make

I am not sure how much I agree with this. I have spent most of my professional career in Python and have watched the trajectory of type hinting in the Python ecosystem somewhat closely. Python is not a statically typed language and yet typ

I somewhat disagree. I think the gold standard would have been for Fortnite to simply increase the prices of IAP purchases on iOS devices to pass the 30% on to consumers who choose to use iOS IAP. I can't seem to find a rule that says

I used Emacs as my exclusive DE when I was started programming (can't argue with free) but as I started coding professionally branched out to other IDEs; however, I am back to developing with Emacs 100% of my time. A rough history of

I think this might provide more context which you are looking for (and your suspicion seems spot on!): > This means more writes to do on updates and makes access to old row versions quite a lot slower, but gets rid of the need for asynch

ClickHouse's intial release was circa 2016 IIRC. The work I was doing at NGINX predates ClickHouse's initial release by 1-2 years. ClickHouse was certainly something we evaluated later on when we were looking at moving to a true
