memcached type API with RocksDB backing store is pretty good. Honestly, at this point hasn't every one written some in memory DB with various methods to persist and various consistency models as a result? At this point the magic is i

I like to have one of my tmux windows be a sudo session with emacs running as root and mostly used to run emerge world or apt update etc. also a window tailing all the logs. I haven’t been on a machine where more than one admin was logged i

Or over the reals. I have studied quaternions a number of times but never studied 3d graphics. They are interesting algebraically as part of the sequence of divison algebras reals, complex numbers, quaternions, octonions, nothing. https:&#

I am in my fifties and taking a masters degree mostly for fun while keeping my software engineering job. I am working a lot harder than I have in a long time, specifically in an intense super hard homework due in 8 hours crank it out way. I

Just do the math and don't worry about management. If you are generally productive you can take a quarter here and there to focus on a thing only you know the value of.

This is your chance to decide what your values in life are. Money or fulfillment. Maybe you can alter the software job somehow to make it more fulfilling to you. An organization with a purpose or mission that you believe in. A role with dif

I had a dreadful marriage that ended in my forties and am now ten years into a relationship where I am so persistently happy I had to rescale my idea of happiness. Maybe by a factor of 1024 or more. I have step kids and my kids have a step

In my case it took a few decades to plumb utterly the idea that perfecting myself, or trying extremely hard to do so, would not make a bad relationship good. It was a hard lesson for me but I learned it in every cell of my system. Not that

Easier to identify and work around your characteristic errors. Go slow into romance, or make sure to lint and test the code, or be wary of saying yes to things you don't really care about, maybe offload some judgment calls to a trusted

As you get older, probably you are the one doing the evaluating and realizing you won't be a heart surgeon or discover a major math theorem (that was two from my own teenagerhood). Mostly people not you don't give it two thoughts.

This viewpoint seems a bit fear based or conservative to me. I wouldn't be shocked if the author wants a high degree of wealth as well. I guess that is a defensible approach but there is another approach of trusting the process, learn

If you count the mistakes as educational then how can you regret them. They were your mistakes going from where you were to where you are, this one unique and fascinating life.

I host my own email service and several times have had the registrars get sold and once sold and then the purchasing registry discontinued the registry service, or maybe the secondary DNS. They generally have support that at least understan

I think Linux is a strong counter argument. And software might be simple to recreate, but it’s a shame to have so many smart folks spend time reinventing the wheel instead of building on each others work.

Maybe software patents require releasing the source code and last for a shorter term related to the pace of technological change. Then the incentive to share the advance is preserved instead of everything being a trade secret.

I think many governments could buy enough compute to mine most blocks and not have any transactions in them. If they wanted to. And isn't GenAI attentional deep networks the currently more interesting way to use excess compute now?

Yes you would still get SQLite file locking; the thing you aren't using is SQLite thread locking around its own structures (according to GP, I don't know myself). But be sure not to use NFS mount for the files, the locking there i

I personally will almost always say I don't know while talking thru to a solution. Admittedly this is informal speech that doesn't make it to written form.

Yeah preinstalled. And I never had issues with Ubuntu breaking in ways like arch or gentoo. Breaking includes trying to install some new thing or uograde and having random other stuff have to be googled.

I don't think that could possibly be true unless you are yourself very limited in your cognitive capacity. Spending many hours with someone as their cognition is eroded by disease process, how can you help learning about the disease an
