In Common Lisp, multiple dispatch lets you provide a new specialization of a function at a different time/place. I imagine it's similar in Julia.

This just doesn't always work, if you lose more than 20% of your customer base when you raise your prices 20% you aren't doing yourself a favor. Anecdotally I've stopped eating at restaurants/food carts that I absolutely

That would be the worst of both worlds: The overhead of storing your data in SQL, plus the overhead of filesystem search and access. The better way to do this would be to have node access the modules in SQLite directly.

> The performance difference arises (we believe) because when working from an SQLite database, the open() and close() system calls are invoked only once, whereas open() and close() are invoked once for each blob when using blobs stored i

Yeah, 2GB is pretty low... my own experience with backup systems is having full servers to power them, and usually having to over spec them so they can live 5 year lifespans without ever becoming the bottleneck in the backup chain. re: tang

Unless you're using deduplication with ZFS (which you shouldn't) you can usually limit ARC size to a certain amount of ram and then the resource hungriness isn't an issue. You lose the benefit of more dynamic caching, and tha

Any serious embedded system should designed with minimal writable data: ro os and minimal writable data partitions. And at a minimum do manual syncs. Hopefully using a data storage system that in the worst case you lose a few records

Alexa lets you do that, and it's fun until you accidentally trigger it during a meeting or phone call. Google is worse here, you can't change the google wake word at all and I _hate_ having to say "hey google" whenever I

If I wanna use something like a ™ I have to google how to enter it, or just google and copy the character. I don't want any extra glyphs in my code until it's just as easy to enter (at close to full speed) as the glyphs I already

I backup to cloud (b2, scripts that wrap their CLI tools), but there are lots of reasons to prefer backing up to devices they physically own.

Where possible, my organization tries and have services deployed in sets of three (and try and require a quorum) to reduce/eliminate split-brain situations. And we're very small scale.

So is most logging and monitoring. The important part is having those bits around when you _need_ to see them.

The way that common lisp does this though is pretty much creating a core dump that you can execute, which isn't what most people are expecting from an executable. It's not a _bad_ way, it's just pretty unique to common lisp.

I've been planning on making an electric concertina for years. For bellows options I've considered a fader in a fake bellows, using an actual bellows with an airflow sensor, some sort of load cell sensor. Not sure what I'll u
