I hear it all the time ‘coding interviews are useless’, ‘peer review in scientific journals is broken’ and so on and so on. I’d say yes and no. Yes, these are the problems that cannot be solved perfectly. No, because in such areas any ‘reas

I use PiHole, it does break some stuff here and there, and sometimes useful things like Private Relay or iCloud in iOS; or once YouTube history stopped working for me (apparently they use a separate domain to track watched videos and progre

That's where the separation of storage and compute kicks in, I guess. Startup process of our Postgres instance (compute node) is a bit different from vanilla Postgres. We need to go to the network storage service (pageserver and safek

We do scale compute part down to zero after 5 mins of inactivity now (no active transactions). This 5 mins threshold is a random pick, it could be 1 min or 30 mins later, or even customizable by the end-user. Storage part is heavily multi-t

I would rephrase it to 'Do not build websites that work 100% fine and fast only in Google Chrome'. Unfortunately, this is the case and most of users just choose the most convenient tool, while trading their privacy.

The main thing about building all these private cloud setups, that bothered me most of time is security. It is not a big deal to take from GitHub and run all these bricks of your infrastructure, but how to maintain? Everything should be upd

I dare to promote one StackOverflow question [1] about pandas I have tried to investigate and answer [2] half a year ago. And I was rather horrified by its internal complexity after digging into pandas source :) OP was wondering, why pandas

16 GB of RAM and I use Safari mostly and Firefox from time to time with less than 20 tabs usually (less than 10 in average, I guess). I check Data written in the Activity monitor — Disk.

"As for writes, at 1 gb a day - far more than my current rate of data use - it would take the same 114 years to reach 40 tb." Maybe it works for author's very specific system or use-case, but on my personal MBP laptop with ve

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but for me it seems unfair to compare initially open source LightTable and closed Cursive, doesn't it? Even more, according to the website Cursive is built on top of IntelliJ---well known and polis

If we abstract away and understand that we are not representative here, then we realize that people actually love ads in general. Just take a look on some Instagram star profile with thousands of active followers, it is full of integrated a

I don't think that this principle is directly applicable here. DNA-based inheritance is still 50/50% split and I guess DNA is most important anyway. Although, the epigenetic one (let's assume its overall contribution is <5

AFAIK Brandur uses Monodraw [1]. It's so cool, I even purchased a license for myself, although the author of the app stopped its active development [2]. [1] https://monodraw.helftone.com/ [2] https://blog.he

Both will be cool, but anyway, to use Braava for mopping you should manually install and fill mopping module. You cannot leave it for a week of fully autonomous work. I have a Roborock S50 and it has a similar mopping cartridge, so actually

I don't think so. My guess is that the industry of consumer electronics is moving toward the right direction. I have two pieces of IoT in my household: 1) Robot vacuum cleaner, and I am absolutely felt in love with it. My floor now is

Hmm, how is it actually regulated? So, e.g. if I am going to my friends and carrying a bottle of wine altogether with pocket knife bundled with a corkscrew to be sure I will be able to open it, then I am in a grey zone or even illegal?

This is applicable to almost every research area, where the publication of peer-reviewed (PR) papers is de-facto a standard. I have a background in physics and a few papers published in Q1 journals, so I heard these complaints about "p

I absolutely agree, interference with instance variable/method alias '@' looks awkward. For me it seems a little bit against Ruby-way.

This may differ from one student to another or from lab to lab, but the general thesis is definitely true. I decided to quit academia in favor of IT industry exactly due to this high stress problem, even having a number of relative good pap

This is a quite questionable statement. There was a post here at HN a few days ago [1] and the article [2] says: "Meanwhile, global warming lurches ahead. Greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow. So do solar and wind power. But do yo
