I'm not familiar with ZFS internals beyond the deduplication part. Is that just the traditional transaction log + btree update approach most databases used? Does ZFS support transactional reading and writing?

I believe the Bw-tree does the same thing, caching new updates in the intermediate branch nodes and only pushing the updates in batch down to the lower layers when running out of room at the branch node. These are the newer wave of algorit

Actually immutable btree has a single writer in general since there’s no translation log and the meta page pointing to one latest tree root. Even if two write transactions updating different parts of the tree, they both need to update the s

The immutable b+tree is a great idea, except it generates a tremendous amount of garbage pages. Every update of a record generates several new pages along the path of the tree. There are two additional techniques to make immutable b+tree p

Could it be the bed bugs don’t communicate much and don’t have a central colony so the boric infection cannot be spread among them?

Pets have soft tissue and not bothered by it. It’s a fine powder causing sanding problem for the thin exoskeleton hard shell of the insect. It might cause scratching on the nails or claws of pets but they are so thick. Edit: research sugg

Human and pets have soft tissue that don’t seem to be bothered by it. I meant inhaling a large amount of fine powder of any type is a problem. Boric acid seems to be pretty heavy that they’re not airborne easily. Boric acid was used in dete

Boric acid works, too. In fact it works well against any insects with a shell exoskeleton, like cockroaches, ants, or termites. The boric crystal punctures their exoskeleton causing them to lose body fluid. It also works against the colony

Assisted living or skilled nursing homes are for the “rich.” People sell their home to finance the cost. At the end Medicare picks up the cost.

What you picked are the happy paths. Here's the common scenario: deals = sql("select * from current_deals ..."); // Show the user the deals. // User takes his sweet time to ponder over the deals.

Even the non-profit ones are really expensive. E.g. Jewish Living in SF has ~$15K/month for long term skilled nursing care. It's a very good one but has a long waiting list. Assisted living and nursing home are just very expensi

Cancellation on gym membership is definitely a pain in the ass. I usually just go with the annual prepaid packages and never give them my credit card.

That's great. Now I can read the papers on my phone.

The performance gain by dropping foreign keys doesn’t hold water. You still have to do the referential checks in application or in the ORM code. Unless you meant dropping referential checks.

Yes. I got the feeling that the pilot was playing the cry-wolf game with the threat of declaring fuel emergency. ATC then responded with, ok, divert. It’s a case of FAFO.

The flight was delayed for several hours on takeoff and arrival, making their flight schedule less useful.

Yes. All these are "supposed" to work the way they are and they are given good reasons, but it still doesn't negate the facts that the same CSS style has different effects on different tags. The <span> tag is a good ex

CSS is difficult because the complexity and inconsistency of mixing the intrinsic styles of HTML tags and CSS styles. For example, width can be set on <div> but has no effect on <span>. You have to set its display to inline-bloc

If it’s more expensive to own than rent in SF, why not just rent? Why does everyone have crowd into SF to own a house?

A trip to a repair shop to fix the rash scratches on my car’s wheel rim with polishing, claying and a repaint, costing $55. All other offers of the service were in the $100~$200 range.

This looks like an interesting language. It tries to address many shortcomings in old lisp by introducing new semantics and new syntax. It looks like a pragmatic language aiming to get out of the programmers’ way and let them focus on solvi

Let me guess. Someone will train a LLM on the stock prices to predict the stock market. It might work as well as how human has predicted the market.

Yes. I use it for main development, project management, and information tracking. One thing good about Emacs is the skills you’ve learned stay with you for life, and can be used for new languages and new textual editing needs.

Since the CPU instructions are the same, instruction patching at startup or install time can be used. Just patch in the correct instructions for the respective hardware.
