I'm not saying you need to do all "best practices" blindly but if insert speed is your problem (at a high level) batching is the very first thing to explore.

Without any specific numbers backing up the 10x we can only guess what improved 10x. All of those things you listed show up as CPU wait events as well. Without specifics I assume he means they inserted the same row count in 1/10th of the time. Not that there was a direct drop in CPU tasks.
Android also has event loops at its core but the Android API seems to do a pretty crappy job at exposing it in a nice way.

Just a comment on the Spanish in Spain. They don't speak "Spanish" there, but a number of languages instead. Unless you want to learn Catalan, choose Madrid. Sure they understand Castellano but will prefer the local language.

(BTW, this boggled the mind of my younger backpacker self from California who grew up on Mexican Spanish.)
The Risks Digest – Current Risks in Public Systems Documented
I doubt documents like that would ever be published willingly.

If those documents were public, that (in my opinion) would just enable bullies etc., as they would know exactly what they could get away with. That would then trigger tightening the rules, which would then trigger much complaining about Facebook suppressing free speech etc..

There are also the motivations of whomever wants this out there. Some people may only want the debate, but some want it out there so as to enable the bullies. And others just want the fame and fortune of being the one who published it.

Honestly, this all sucks.

I have "Essential Tremors", which can be very frustrating. I can write, but there have been times, especially in school, where having tremors made my writing quite a bit messier than if I didn't have them. Something like this could be really interesting in the future, not just for people who have Parkinson's but also other causes of tremors.
That's a rather simplistic model of how Twitter works. People use @ replies and hashtags for impromptu communication between strangers.

I disagree on the basis that you (currently) can't live life without also having a job or being rich. Just because you give your time to your job doesn't mean you're contributing, and having a job doesn't inherently make someone a contributor.

It's only true in the very narrow sense -- you're contributing to the economy by producing taxes and buying things. But the entire point of the question was that they wanted to avoid being just that.

I get that it probably makes people uncomfortable to be classified this way, but it's better to just embrace it. I haven't produced or contributed much myself. I'd like to, but I haven't, and I'm fine with that. But it'd be mistaken to pretend I have.
I use ZFS under FreeBSD but I am wondering what the future of ZFS looks like.

I went to the OpenZFS website (http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Main_Page) to try and get a feel for the amount of work currently going on. They have some videos and slides, they have a mailing list. The mailing list is mostly full of messages via GitHub but at least that lead me to https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs which I was previously unaware of and which I had not found when trying to look for an OpenZFS specific repository.

As far as I have come to understand, the goal of the OpenZFS project is to merge changes made to ZFS by Illumos, FreeBSD, ZFS-on-Linux and other projects. Their videos might answer this but I wish their website had a clear and simple overview of what has been done. Most of what I can find on their wiki is various ideas for things that they want to do, but I can't know if that means that the OpenZFS project is mostly talk and not so much action, or if it's just that they have done a lot of those things but because they are busy doing they don't have time to write about it. Could be that they have some pages on the wiki I haven't seen also but in that case I think it should be organized better.

I know that Joyent picked up several highly skilled software engineers and programmers that used to work for Sun, and that their SmartOS operating system builds on code descendant from OpenSolaris and that ZFS is as integral on SmartOS as it was on Solaris, perhaps even more so on SmartOS. I have not seen mention of SmartOS on the OpenZFS wiki though.

All in all I feel that ZFS is still being actively developed and maintained by many people. But to what extent they are able to cooperate as much as a lot of them seem to want to I would like to know. It would be a shame if btrfs overtook ZFS simply because the development of ZFS was too fragmented :/

Many people have already listed out some good solutions for bandwidth issue. For your passive consumption issue I would highly recommend cutting yourself off from mainstream social apps like instagram, snapchat and facebook. Human minds have limited capacity to focus and be attentive to particular area and using these apps usually overload the daily threshold limit of cognitive load we can take. I have personally renounced all of mainstream social media apps and am very conscious of what I consume on daily basis ( I prefer very few news articles which are relevant to me ). Other than that I depend upon books or long form in depth content for a topic I need to learn about. This gives your brain bandwidth to think and construct original thoughts which are the very foundation producing or building anything.

As was mentioned in the audio clip, the usefulness of the routes depends on the surrounding cycle network. Since these cycle paths were built, the cycle network in the UK has grown, so some of the routes could prove more immediately useful now than they were in the 1930s.

To give you an idea of the scale of the current UK cycle network:

This is a nice example of blame shifting to either the consumers or the programmers..

Blame for the whole "deactivated" Updates affair should be upon the CEOs and marketing guys who tried to shanghai-shovel consumers and customercompanys Win10.

Yes, they might have saved microsoft in the short turn burning consumer trust, but if that consumer trust is part of the world wide infrastructure- they should be called liable for burning this resource.

I'd be quite careful with this of comment as it has the potential to upset people. The people in Spain do speak Spanish yes but in many regions they speak their own languages that are not dialects but distinct languages. In fact on top of Spanish there are 4 other officially recognised languages:

Catalan
Galician
Basque
Aranese

And still there are more languages that are not recognised, pretty cool :)
>Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Is this actually true? I am fairly certain I fear inadequacy more than power. I've talked to and read people, including artists, writers, and programmers, who expressed fear of not measuring up to standards -- others' or their own. It seems very common. I have rarely heard someone express fear of becoming too powerful, too influential, etc. Moreover, when I did, it was by people who were already successful and, crucially, their primary worry was that they wouldn't be able to use the power or influence well (i.e., inadequacy again).

There are a bunch of email headers you could backwards shoe-horn into serving the purpose of allowing clients to recognize the difference between a life update and a traditional mail, or you could create a new one. You could then make it standard behavior to handle emails with that header via a social client if one is available, and otherwise discard/hide them.

"In particular, I don't understand the desire to pick on Elon's work on the Mars program, when it pushes forward an industry with huge knock-on effects that are very beneficial to society[0]"

So does fixing housing, media, universities, medical, copyright/patent law, and so on. They'll have immediate benefit to all kinds of people on a massive level. If anything, those ripple effects will likely be superior to a Mars project even creating more Elon Musks as opportunities and capabilities increase with critical costs decreasing.

Meanwhile, as technocrati screw around like they are, the real elites that own this country continue doing the reverse of what I suggest controlling more and more doing more and more damage to the benefit of the tiniest few. Those elites are focusing on all the critical areas with wide impact. Just with perverse incentives that lead to harm. The Elon Musks should do the same with more benevolent stance to act as a balance against them plus create opportunities instead of remove them. So, far the only large, tech companies lobbying Washington and working at those levels are the most harmful or selfish ones. The rest are just rich people parasiting on a system actual elites control. Too bad as the people need benevolent elites these days.
I didn't know that, but that's excellent. I've got some reading to do!
Essentially, companies/products like Google (AltaVista, Lycos, ect.), Facebook (Friendster, MySpace, etc) or Slack (IRC, Skype, etc)?

IMHO, it's very rare to be working on something truly unseen; and if you are, the chances are numerous people are working on the same thing at very this moment, just in a different flavor. Aren't these incremental improvements part of the natural selection?

IMHO, you should strive to find meaning not in the external, but internally; you should start somewhere, however basic it is (fixing your bed and cleaning your room, before trying to change and help the world). Jordan Peterson talks about that in great detail - highly recommend his lectures (they're available online).
Wow, this really brings me back. Well done.
CSS4 Selectors: What can we expect?
Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You don't need to commit on anything. Upload what you have, and little by little your channel/github will grow. It doesn't have to be perfect.

I can share my experience. I post some guitar videos on a youtube channel, maybe two or three times a year, whenever I feel like it. It doesn't seem like much, but it's been 7 years now and I have about 20 videos now. It's not going to change the face of the world, but it's satisfying. I can follow my progression, it's an additional motivation to practice, and some people find them useful.

Same thing for github. Whenever I write some code, I put it there. Better than lost on my hard drive and it incentives me to write better documentation. Even if nobody cares, it's still useful for me. I regret now that I didn't do it back when I was a student (pre-github).

You can't. Because it's impossible to describe how hard it was for me in words, you would have to experience it yourself.

When I say "burnout", I don't just mean mental burnout. I've even been in situations where I went completely broke, lived homeless, and much more sensitive details I can't talk about on a public forum.

Of course it doesn't have to be all life threatening to qualify as a "burnout". I've been through more moderate burnouts where I just couldn't keep up mentally. I started doubting humanity (I still haven't fully recovered from this and don't think I ever will).

But overall, these are things you can't just describe. Even if I did, people who've never been through one will never understand.
>"To tax the same to all people regardless of their income is unfair ..."

Is the income tax not progressive in Spain then? Everyone pays the same marginal tax rate?
You're right. While understandable through context the sentence is ungrammatical because the relative clause is misplaced.

It should rather be "Looking for extremophiles Penelope Boston, the director of NASA's Astrobiology Institute, and her team have spent years exploring Mexico's Naica Mine in Chihuahua, which contains caves as large as cathedrals." and even then it's quite cumbersome to read because there are too many modifiers.

Sentences like that should simply be split up in order to avoid such problems and to be more comprehensible. Unfortunately, many writers seem to equate long sentences with sounding intelligent (speaking from personal experience here ... school and academia can teach you bad writing habits that take some time to unlearn).

By who's definition are blog pieces automatically opinion? That's my whole point - it's not obvious what is and what isn't an opinion piece, and your average reader is not going to know the difference or notice. Furthermore it's not like writing an article is like some closed form mathematical structure. A supposedly researched and referenced "non opinion" article is typically full of implicit opinion.

It's very true, but this is a known and heavily researched problem. We have solutions to it, compromised solutions perhaps, but solutions none the less.

The current state of social networks vs email is night and day. I would never host my own email (despite self-hosting almost all my other online services) because the anti-spam techniques in wide usage are so punitive if you get your config wrong (your IP and domain basically get permanently sin-binned), but I use gandi.net as my email provider, I'm able to choose to pay them money and in exchange get my mail handled by someone I trust.

I'd gladly pay to use facebook, but run by someone I trust. However, social services are centralized to such an extreme even vs email that I actually cannot pay to have secure and respectful social networking, as facebook has successfully locked everyone else out of the game.

I digress. Email is not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than social.

I'm from Spain and have lived in Barcelona without speaking Catalan at all, so don't spread misinformation.
I think this is important. Someone else mentioned that this isn't helpful for what he asked, but I think it is - I think it's important that we understand that working is not passive. If you're working 40 (or in some of our cases, 50, 60, 70) hours a week, you are devoting a significant portion of your life to creation.

I agree with the points others made about how to avoid burnout, find things you're passionate about etc... but I hope the question asker understands that what they're doing does have value. The value may be labor - which, indeed, is undervalued in society compared to actually being the controller/owner of the product on which work is being performed - but it is creating value just the same.

Now, if you reach a point where you want all of that value to be creating to be yours and not mostly someone else's, or if you find you have energy to spare to start working on side projects, then you may be ready to move from putting labor into other people's products to putting labor into your own. But there's no shame in working hard and earning a paycheck, and devoting the other time in your life to doing whatever it is that makes you happy. (and if what makes you happy ends up being creating a side project that turns into something where you control your own product, that's great!)

why pulsed vibrations are so effective

Vibrating shoes have been shown to be useful for helping elderly populations avoid falls; their diminished sensory acuity makes it hard for them to feel the differential pressure which indicates that they are starting to fall, but adding noise results in the sensory threshold being crossed.

I'd presume that the muscle overstimulation which causes characteristic twitching/jerking is being suppressed by improved sensation of pressure.
From my understanding, the anti-pattern is related to creating an API that requires a call to super when overriding a method. super.tap may be used when interacting with an API that employs the "call super" anti-pattern, but calling super is not itself an instance of the anti-pattern; it can be used in perfectly legitimate cases as well.
