Postgres is essentially a b-tree with a remote interface. Would you use a b-tree to store a dead letter queue? What is big O of insert & delete? what happens when it grows? Postgres has a query interface, replication, backup and many o

thanks helpful thanks. seems to have some tradeoffs. I would likely lean toward the simpler thread model but it sounds compelling.

the opportunity to recount is not itself an adequate protection for an online counting machine. in my county for example, recounts are only triggered for close elections. they do zero auditing for normal wins. The system needs to be secur

Good example .

It’s a great idea , though the counting machine becomes a threat vector . Counting votes isn’t really that expensive . Certainly not compared to purchasing , maintaining and securing counting machine hardware I get that we all get paid to

paper & pen has tremendous value as a recording mechanism. Although it's slower at counting and indexing, it is far better at reproducibility and durability: * records last > 500 years with no electricity . corruption is obviou

that's a copout in my opinion. Most of the quality decisions are established by team culture and experience. If a team is full of webdevs, no amount of management investment in performance will make a good app. conversely, a team of

Your list and the one above (e.g. with General Marshall, etc) are more illustrative & aligned with developing US Hegemony than the 20th Century Presidents. It seems to me the US presidents have been drawing down hegemony assets since J

do you mind qualifying this? it sounds like you mean dollar hegemony, which I might accept, but if you mean foreign policy in general, I can think of many invasions , financial crises, cold wars, lost prosperity for most of those Presidents

I agree it's suspicious. Rather than dismiss it altogether, I'm trying to understand the e2e process. i.e. divide 1880-present into Epochs and understand what %-age of coverage, resolution & how precise were the instruments

I agree. Wikipedia Cleanup is a good starting point. Or look for a Wiki Project to join. I've found the best way to learn and contribute is to jump into an existing project. Usually direction is the hardest thing . You can of course

Most of my Wikipedia edits are converting tacky hyphens to em-dashes. I also autocomplete into em-dashes. hyphens are so hideous that I can't stand them.

AI isn’t one thing. The consumer AI bots (e.g. ChatGPT) are heavily dumbed down. Asking it a Wikipedia topic without prompting will of course produce low quality content. With a good model , fine tuning & supervision AI can produce ste

there are many copy editing projects that do this. If you mean the left leaning tone / bias, that will be a bit more spicy. But general grammar, tone, ambiguity , superlatives – that’s the goal of copy editing. I copy edit typesetting
