Datafusion is okay. Ballista is not at all ready at the moment.

Hot take, but I actually think this is good since it means we postpone usage of, and thereby resistance to, any new antibiotics. The second there’s a new antibiotic, poor countries are going to over-use generics of it and create resistance.

Testing requirements are as high in other rich countries. And existing antibiotics work fine atm. Nobody’s gonna pay to use new ones unless there’s no alternative, both for cost and resistance reasons. So why bother? Might as well postpone

I think we have opposite assumptions here. Afaict, young upwardly mobile professionals love density and (income++) diversity. SF was kinda sketchy before it got gentrified by tech, no? Tenderloin was bad, I’ve heard? The notion that people

Twutter is quite fast on the backend. Mastodon is still written in Ruby. Twitter migrated away from Ruby long ago. Of course language is not the primary factor in performance, but I'd bet that most Mastodon instances are CPU-limited.

The UK outside of London is already a relatively decrepit place. Tourists visiting London get an incredibly distorted view of the country.

When it comes to housing, the napkin solution is correct. There are no technical or practical problems with it. To many, there are aesthetic and social problems with it, and we choose to prioritise those. That’s not a given.

Won't CISC architectures always have the benefit of being able to have dedicated silicon for those complex instructions and thus do them faster than many smaller instructions? I understand RISC-V does instruction fusing, which provides

Apple has a perpetual ARM license. It's unlikely they'll transition to RISC-V.

It's quite baffling. AMD is behaving like an incumbent trying to segment users etc. when they really should behave more like an upstart trying to make things easy. But their drivers for Linux are the best, so I don't think I'

It's a pretty good argument in favor of the GNU/Linux vs. plain Linux distinction. Which is not a thing I really thought I'd say.

No tinkering required. Tinkering can be tempting and dangerous, but if you keep yourself in check it's just not a thing you need to do. Unless you install Arch, but then you deserve what you get. Just install Ubuntu or Pop and you&#x27

Agreed. It's tried. We know it works. What are we even debating?

How do you know the cash isn't fake?

by tormeh 4y ago
Not always. A popular step is to buy an expensive car in Germany using cash, then bring it to another country. Germany is central to many money laundering schemes because of the prevalence of cash payments there.

1k EUR is a lot to carry in cash. 10k is absurd. I'd guess 95% of people doing it are doing it because they're doing something illegal.

The db that makes you use bit instead of boolean is a beast? I disagree. IMO it’s one of those technologies waiting to die.

I know a place that operated like this for years, so I don’t have to imagine.

Now your engineers need to understand all these technologies instead of just postgres. As usual the correct answer to when to repurpose existing tech in your stack and when to add new tech depends on your specific needs, team size, etc.

As a user the biggest difference is that Linear is really fast. Don't know the difference for admins.

Wasn't the limiting factor RAM latency? Anyway, yes, computers parse way too much JSON, SQL, and whatever else. I've recently started working with gRPC, and boy is it nice. The current paradigm where every action requires a text b

Somebody likes Kanbanize? Even Jira is better. Linear is where it's at, imo.

Of course this is an Android issue, but it's also extremely typical of Teams to be an ill-behaved app.

I can't see any progress on AMD/Intel GPU support :( Would love to see Vulkan or at least ROCm support. With SD1 you could follow some guides online to make it work, since PyTorch itself supports ROCm, but the state of non-Nvidia

I suspect they're just a bunch of regexes in a trench coat, personally.

And how would you ever comply? The government can hold you hostage, but absent the consent of your collaborators there’s nothing you or the government can do. Which is not a great situation to be in, to be fair.

The notary thing is insane. It's not a completely redundant profession, but it's not that far off. I suppose it's nice to have if two parties, non of whom the government trusts, sign a contract with each other and you need a
