Sure, but by that (correct) reasoning the fact that it’s SMS (as a system) or some other system is similarly irrelevant to them and not the terms they think in.

If people don’t know it (at some level like intuition), why is that everyone I know (including non-tech 55 year olds) see the green bubble and know the other person has android instead of an iPhone?

A book, TV show, movie, video game, album, or comic book is not available on the internet served by the copyright holder’s own servers with no authentication or authorization checks. But the NYT is available in that way .

Maybe they don’t know all the intracies, but they certainly know the difference, that’s why there’s such a cultural big deal about blue versus green bubbles. Everybody knows when one person in a text group isn’t using iMessage, and they usu

That doesn’t follow. Meeting the emissions standards is possible on its own, but not necessarily along with other requirements like efficiency.

SELECT FOR UPDATE means two queries can’t _read_ the same row at the same time, right?

Those can be in a deadly spiral. Risk aversion doesn’t actually mean you’re good at addressing risk; in fact it may keep you from implementing changes (change is risky) that address real risks.

That’s not what the parent said. The wired connection itself is better, but it has the tradeoff of physical wear and tear and ports that break.

You’re absolutely correct. It’s just irrelevant since you don’t need anything even approaching hyperinflation to have real world impact on people, and the real wage loss over the past several years is clearly in that category.

The problem with this definition is that even CEOs at big tech giants don't own the company (in the vast majority of cases).

DC fast chargers are already 400V or 800V, so we’ve long since crossed the limits of AC charging at home.

My understanding (I used to say the same thing) is that this is now understood to be false, and that placebos don’t affect objective indicators, only self reported perception, and that perception reverts to the mean over time with the place

You must have incredibly good insulation if 2kW is enough to heat that much space.

And even if in different data centers (say different AZs), query latency is probably 1ms; in practice that’s quite low. How many queries are you doing in a request?
80.
by jtc331 3y ago
If deploying on different racks is that big of problem for your latency then you’re severely limited in how far you can scale your application just by physical rack space. IME this just isn’t true.

It all depends on your workload. Those 500 instances may be make calls to other services, services, for example, or burning CPU in various ways.

by jtc331 3y ago
Each of those reads may only be 1ms, which would translate into only 100 connections needed. So the workload you describe — without more detail — may in fact be just fine with that connection count. But plenty of people also run Postgres wi

PG doesn’t have a thread per connection; it has a process per connection.

It’s not true. And using the 70s as proof is either dishonest or lacking knowledge: gold rose in the 70s because an artificial pinning of its price was removed.

There’s a lot of emphasis here about just adding storage, but that’s missing the fact that unnecessary indexing affects writes and reads performance also (and potentially quite significantly). Using a partial index where it’s obviously matc

I think the bigger reason is simply that backwards compatibility is hard . Some projects put in that work (e.g., PostgreSQL), but it comes at a significant tax on productivity that could otherwise be put into new features.
