I've used mysqldump|gzip when migrating a ~1TB database to an incompatible version of MySQL/MariaDB. It's slow but very reliable. I think the single-threaded pipe is the bottleneck. The process never took up more than one ful

With smallish databases, just pipe the .dump command to gzip. No need to snapshot an entire filesystem just to back up a few hundred megabytes (what I would consider "smallish"). Backup and restore speeds aren't a significant

Forums can definitely see some improvement. I want to subscribe to certain subforums and threads, and get all the updates in a single app (like with a RSS reader) without having to visit each forum. IRC got this right. Reddit was okay, but

That would be totally expected of Johnson. He was diametrically opposed to Milton in almost every subject that mattered: literary style, politics, and theology.

Maybe a phone could automatically disable airplane mode if it detects a sudden loss of altitude?

I wonder how unreliable a specific model of commercial aircraft would need to be in order for it to no longer be the safest mode of transportation. According to [1], commercial planes are about 3 times safer than buses per passenger mile (

Wouldn't a small hole quickly become a large gaping hole anyway, if it's large enough to affect the cabin pressure? I suppose if the small hole had existed since before takeoff, you could avoid catastrophic damage as the aircraft

I think my wording was confusing. The phrase "at first" was supposed to qualify the idea of vitamins, not phlogistons. In other words, "You think the lack of this substance causes scurvy? What is this negative pathogen you&#x

There's a problem with the current status quo, at least on Android. Apps can tell that you have disabled notifications, and nag you to re-enable them. Back when I used cyanogen, I could deny permissions to an app while tricking the app

Well, they had recently discovered modern chemistry. No wonder everything looked like chemistry to them, even if they couldn't yet identify the substances involved. After Pasteur, scientists began to think that every disease was caused

Yep, the only way to ensure that your identifiers are "permanent" is to choose them such that people have zero reason to change them. They should bear no relationship to any real-world feature that people care about, such as phone

People get new citizenships. They often lose their old citizenships, too, often deliberately for tax purposes.

I think Lewis was trying a little too hard in The Last Battle to produce the perfect allegory, and couldn't come up with a compelling story to wrap it with. He was working under much higher expectations than when he first started the s

I don't know why publishers keep insisting on chronological ordering of fantasy/SF book sets. Don't they understand literature? A lot of novels are not chronologically ordered, even within one book. Would you introduce someon

Nothing ever gets "mature" in today's web development environment. As soon as something becomes stable, people don't find it exciting anymore so the devs need to introduce new features, create new bugs, and make backward

I don't deny that this is double dipping, but our intuitions about double dipping might not be universal. For example, in America, it is taken for granted that you pay for both incoming and outgoing calls. Koreans, on the other hand, w

In Korea, broadband consumers only pay for the size of the pipe (100Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps, etc.) and not for transfer. It's been like this for the last 20+ years. Even mobile carriers have "unlimited" plans. Short of outright

What we must not forget is that literature was originally meant to be performed , not read. Live performances have physical and temporal limitations that books and movies don't, and are often divided into acts and scenes in order to o
