Caching can make sense in more situations than "too many users running the same query at once". For basically anything slow that you'd like to make faster, you can weigh the downsides of caching against the downsides of optim

Do you have specific criticisms? There are myriad and varied different use cases for a cache. I’ve used Postgres in a pinch. It’s fine, for certain things. I’ve used a lot of other caches as well that would be highly inappropriate for the s

There is a noticeable difference in feel between ICE cars with physical throttle cables and those with electronic throttles…the drive-by-wire models have a very small amount of lag between pedal input and engine response. If you’re attuned

I have been a minimum-16GB-of-RAM guy since 2012 or so, but I got a great deal last year on a base model M1 Air that I mostly just use for web/email while traveling, and as a thin client back to my Linux desktop with 64GB of RAM. I&#x2

FWIW I have my Linux desktop hooked up to a 4k/120hz TV via a $30 CableMatters DisplayPort->HDMI dongle that seemingly supports most of the relevant functionality, as far as I can tell. It even works very smoothly over a 50 foot act

I do think a lot of people have a concept of “the environment” not so much as it being our singular shared home, but as some sort of vague notion of National Parks and sea turtles, that are nice to protect but not especially relevant to day

Random daemons running amok and using 100% CPU is a tale as old as Mac OS X. I've encountered them from time to time on every Mac I've had since I first installed 10.1 "Puma" on my lime green iMac DV in 2001. Sometimes y

It’s somewhat intriguing how long they’ve kept old reddit alive. I had figured it’d get the axe fairly soon after they made the redesign the default, even if they claimed otherwise. I suspect there must be a contingent of users who are big
