In the very few occasions that I've seen a queue backed by a Postgres table, when a job was taken, its row in the database was locked for the entire processing. If the job was finished, a status column was updated so the job won't

After seeing the video, I wonder if someone could recommend some flux like the one shown there, the one that looks like a yellow-orange paste. Just so I don't end up "not using the right flux" ;)

That's interesting, now I wonder what the average American does to have a footprint of 16t, as they don't take that number of flights yearly.

by severino 4y ago
Absolutely, I agree. And while we were talking about commercial flights, it's true that it's only a small part of the problem. But my message was that I think there is no point in trying to cut down your emissions individually whi

If you're worried about climate change, you should not spend your time and resources trying to reduce your own CO2 emissions, but instead, supporting and promoting regulations that force people like yosito to not being able to travel t

Something similar to the first screenshot in the article. Until then, Quake II on software graphics was a cool game for me but a game where you saw pixels everywhere, like every other game at the time. Discrete graphics cards on the other s

Funny thing, when I heard about those "3d graphics accelerator" cards in the late 90s, I just thought they were meant to make your 3d games run faster. But Quake II and similar games already ran very fast in my machine. It wasn&#x

Thanks! Does it make a difference that the registrar is in your country, or at least in your "continent" (i.e.: EU) for those bad things that can happen like UDRP, etc.?

Yes, drag soldering was the only technique I considered. However, it didn't work very good. As said before, the main problem was that solder created shorts between pins, and some others were left with bad connections. I also tried to u

Yes, I thought about the magnifier, but how would one do the soldering? Soldering each pin at a time? As those parts have 0.5mm or 0.8mm pitches, I only tried with this "drag soldering" technique, but with the aforementioned resul

What would you say is the best (but affordable!) way to solder SMT parts like this kind of connectors with small pitches? https://no.mouser.com/images/marketingid/2016/img/163696678.... Last time I tried

Because anybody can say they don't understand why you use those "much better alternatives" (whichever they are) and tell you go find the much better alternatives in the modern day and age.

From your link, I can see it's $25/year for a desktop computer, or $150/year with phone a ticket support. Where does those $500 come from? But also, I read here the other day you can get a free Pro subscription for personal u

Wait a minute, an opinion of somebody working at Oracle not bashing Oracle? You deserve downvotes, the only interesting opinions about working at Oracle are those from people who never worked at Oracle! :)
