I’d love to see an answer from someone more experienced on this as well. In my experience, the database is just faster than application code at most stuff and queries can be written in a way that similar logic can’t be optimized at the appl

All of that AND they probably purchased the system from a company that specializes in this stuff, or a traditional event security company is providing add-on packages that post up a few of these kiosks at events. If I’m wrong and anyone can

Gwern is amazing and what a fascinating website. I hear you and understand where you are coming from, but some people thrive under extreme organization like this. These are the kind of people I want writing technical documentation on my tea

That sounds like a hardware problem or drivers issue. If it was a software problem, why give up on music when there are other options both free and paid like Reaper, Ableton, etc. which run perfectly fine? I have not had any of the issues y

After reading through many of these, it felt a bit unhealthy and pointless. Something I’ve always been told about interviewing: getting in the door means you are at least qualified for the job on paper. The company would not waste its time

Yeah, that argument can be made, I see what you mean. Kind of like the traveling just to post a bunch of flashy pictures on Instagram thing. Even when that is the case, I think a lot of those people who do outdoorsy stuff partially for the

It really is, but as someone who started skiing when I was 3-4 years old and am now closing in on 30 and am not in excellent cardio shape... wow, skiing is tough. I had no idea it would be so much harder at 25 (years ago) than it was at 16.

Yeah, hobbies are totally “rackets young people fall for”. LOL quite the controversial statements you are making there!

Yeah, nowadays it’s incredibly common to see someone post something with a caption like “My friends are cooler than yours.”. I’m not sure what part of that is funny, friendly, or mildly appropriate for a social website. It is off-putting

I think my favorite feature of usb-c is the symmetric design. Not needing to check if I have the usb plug oriented correctly takes me from about a 50% success rate to 100% success rate on plugging things in correctly.

After several minutes I was able to read it in full... and lots of reading and back-tracing. He says our business model is "wholly-changed" and now founders need to be super-talented and a long list of other things in order to suc

Cool, seems about right and that is similar to how I did multitenancy in Django years ago. If anyone reads this and has a good answer, I’m still curious on one question that I was never able to answer (due to my limited knowledge of Postgre

That’s pretty much what I think. Sometimes it’s overwhelming how much emphasis is placed on trauma and addiction. It seems some people would be quick to label seeking any behavior that feels good (sex, having drinks with friends and being s

I would think the vast majority of “world class” professional software engineers go unnoticed unless they transition into a more academic, entrepreneurial, or otherwise public role later in their careers. We know the names of people like me
