Yeah we just did it with the --link option on a 6TB database and it took like 30 seconds. Something has to be off with their OS settings or disk speeds. The main challenge with that is running an ANALYZE on all the tables though, that took

What you see as hope in the future just looks like doom and gloom to me. Yeah people dont trust the institutions, now they trust Tiktok trends and whatever their favorite youtuber says. Except these trends and youtubers are still controlled

Thats how the database works internally, thats not how the interface to the database works. Apps dont know about the WAL log, and the database has internal logic for processing the WAL. Things like transactions, rollback etc...

Who besides Oracle offers this stuff though? Yeah Oracle has a bunch of nice features, it also costs a gajillion dollars that no one besides a large enterprise can afford.

While I was there it was obviously a gathering, but for any event, and India being so huge, everyone comes from all over the country. They stay for 1-2 weeks minimum, no hotel rooms. So people are staying 4-5 families per house. Everyone ju

Yeah all of these modern "hacks" for sleep can be trumped with just being an active person who gets up at a reasonable time, child or adult. Something I observed while spending time in India with my wife's families is how no

Because there are 12 different "causes" that are all very subtle and are highly influenced by your diet and behavior etc. Doctors also never want to admit they dont know the answer to something

Learn zazen and zen Buddhism meditation. All other methods are inferior. Simply observer your own thoughts and do not evaluate them as good or bad. Do this until you forget who you are. Simple yet extremely difficult

Not being present is an ego protection mechanism. Its classic psychology. As children get older, they develop ideas of who they are and naturally develop ways to protect their emotions. When peoples' mind wanders, they cling to things

Pretty sure all puzzles are a tremendous waste of time and create no value.

Listen man, you’re not wrong, but you’re also Living in the past. It’s no different from saying a real programmer does low level C coding. The field has changed, everything is in the cloud. Yeah most engineers can’t troubleshoot low level s

The main thing you get out of LSD and even THC is new pattern associations. Due to the way the brain works, and its constant desire to reduce resource usage, when our life consists of the same patterns, the brain will slowly tune them out.

Happy simple people maybe. You have to take into account the difference of each mind's disposition between people. There are people who would just read those 3 bullet points and be disgusted. Some people need an empty pointless life an

As someone who has been a part of implementing BI in every possible form across several companies in the last 10 years, its always the same problem. No one uses it for jack shit. All the colorful graphs, charts and cool visualizations have

The real step 1 is not trying to be good at anything and just doing it for the enjoyment Attachment to outcome is very real and hold a lot of people back For example I started getting really good at chess when I stopped caring how many rati

People will never tell you if they like you or not and why The emotional intelligence to pick up on that sub context is critical. Observe how they treat others, look for subtleties, think about them as people rather than your boss. It reall

lol get a real dba, saying you know so many developers hitting a particular issue is just another way of saying I know so many people who don’t know what they’re doing. RDBMS are complex and have to handle the most wide variety of applicati

No offense guys, but just get a real DBA. Postgres doesnt just randomly do things and will always produce the same result given the same circumstances. Either you werent running routine maintenance and your statistics are messed up, or the

I was hype on them initially, but after a few months of using them, I find that they are only useful for simple questions, and for coding help with syntax for basic things I have forgotten. Anything more complex just turns into an irritatin

Not really IMO. Like most self help books, the book is around an extremely simple concept with way too much filler to try to make it into a book. Besides being boring and repetitive... Applying them to my own life was way too much of a stre

Theres no right abstraction for it because everyones data is different. From my experience what most developers dont realize is that data is more complex than code. Code is merely the stuff that sits on top of the data, shuffling it around.
