It's disingenuous to report "partial degradation" as "uptime" when some customers are unable to process any payments.

One advantage of tar is that, because the format has no built-in support for compression or random access, the entire archive is compressed together. Similarities in adjacent files will improve the compression ratio. To support random acces

I ran into this recently on a newer version. Postgres will not use the presence of a foreign key (referencing a unique index) to skip unnecessary inner joins.

The trailer has a guard in the photo, and the right side looks intact. If the Tesla was traveling fast enough, it may have sliced itself in half, above and below the guard. Most of the mass in a Tesla is the battery, below the guard.

Factorio most successfully scratched the same itch as the Zachlikes for me. There’s Human Resource Machine and 7 Billion Humans, which have a similar puzzle format with online histograms. Prime Mover comes to mind too, but the learning curv

I don’t depend on the collision resistance of SHA-1 for the security of my git repos because I don’t accept pushes from people I don’t trust. If I did, objects with hash collisions would not be transferred or (I hope) accepted. Am I missing

Sites can't see the existence of other sites' cookies. They can, however, request resources from other sites. Those requests, in turn, would send third-party cookies, if any, to the third-party server _and_ save new third-party co

This is similar to SQL checkpoints in that a rollback is all or nothing. It wouldn’t be segmented by tenant unless the each tenant has its own transactors.

I'm with Nate here. Commits are a form of documentation and can be useful for grouping together related changes. All of this context is lost when squash merging. That said, I do aggressively rebase and amend commits on the feature bran

You could scrape the site, either from Wayback or from WordPress, if you manage to get it working just briefly, and then host the site statically out of an S3 bucket. wget has an option to recursively crawl and save a site, but there are ot

This article doesn’t even delve into time zones. Each UTC timestamp maps to one of two dates, depending on the context of the user or the data. This is important in financial systems. Transactions in Hawaii can legitimately land in a fisc

Many query plans (e.g. sorts, joins, aggregation) involve scanning large swaths of data. The importance of sequential access for such operations cannot be overstated. Storage, processors, and networks are designed to make sequential access
