I couldn't find my birthday in the first 10 or so pages, so I clicked "Give up" and searched the page for it. Said my pi index was in the 100,000s. Went back to the ui to select it manually and gave up after clicking fast for

The craziest thing in that video is realizing that the Entity Component architecture was actually invented for Sketchpad in 1963, but the whole idea was slept on until Looking Glass reinvented it in 1998 for Thief: The Dark Project.

I wonder if a columnar storage format should implement sum types with a struct of arrays where only one array has a nun-null value for each index.

Wow how did I not know of this?! How does it cancel in-progress goroutines when the provided context is cancelled?

Have you heard of XTDB / Bitemporality? The basic idea is to make time 2-dimensional, where each record has both a System Time range and a Valid Time range. Designed as a write-only db with full auditability for compliance purposes. Wi

So what happens when we figure out how to 10x both scale and throughput on existing hardware by using it more efficiently? Will gigantic models still be useful?

Also very interested in PoE cameras with open source firmware. Most of these seem to be wifi + power cable; I figure if I'm running a cable anyway it might as well be a data cable. Maybe wifi is easier to set up a couple devices, but o
