Not a mention of 'COVID' anywhere on this page (thank you Ctrl+F). Surely, it had a role in how we got here, at least inflation-wise? Has it slipped so easily from the face of History? Let's just hope its not a new pandemic t

So, you're saying you can recall a 2 week period in executive branch history that could hold a candle to what we've just witnessed? This idea of just keeping track of it all is real. I marvel at the project management task that Tr

Exactly. Those ads were highly effective because they prey upon people's prejudices -- unfortunately the more inhumane ones. The human mind is primarily a pattern-finder and prejudices are hard to unlearn once you learn them. You know

Harris wasn't the most natural candidate perhaps and couldn't compare to a past president (and Apprentice show media celebrity) in terms of familiarity to voters, but what alternative candidate would you propose in her place? Hone

Since Postgres 12, there's been support for “Pluggable Storage” where you could even define different storage engines for tables individually. Think of the Oriole extension which bought by Supabase in April 2024.

I realize you've long since moved on, but this type of story is the type of thing that well-received Medium articles are based on. Given the way you've described it, I know I'd be interested to read about this & I don&#x2

How is it not a patent violation for compounding pharmacies to manufacture these drugs, even if they're in short supply? I don't think the article dealt with that issue clearly. Maybe they didn't reproduce the patented molecu

I tried your strace commands on my linux desktop and I don't get anything like your results. I get a few lines of 'read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1...' type stuff. Are you using bash (as I am) or some other shell? Could there be s

I feel like your grizzlybulls.com site is quite nice & loads very quickly for being under the load of HN visitors. The idea of democratizing algo trading for the masses is appealing, but there is that trust factor even for mere tradin

@hcm: Would have loved to see the 'after' flamegraph just for comparison purposes! I'm still trying to get used to groking flamegraphs when optimizing. They're a somewhat new tool, IMO.
