They're making that 5% margin on multiple seatings per day, rather than once per year.

It doesn't really make sense to compare things this way, they're so different. Better to do an income flow analysis. For a given amount in invested capital, how much profit will a profitable restaurant generate in a year vs the stock market. The restaurant is gonna come in way ahead, though of course it's a very active investment (a full time job plus some) vs the passive index fund investment.
I think you need a relatively new GPU. Some older models (older then 2015-2016) don't offer scaled resolutions yet, but you can still go for non-scaled 1440p. It is not as sharp on a native 4k display, but still way more readable.

Also always connect via DisplayPort instead of HDMI if you can, safes a ton of trouble.

It is very easy to make a new thing behave like the old thing for the standard use case. The problems lie all the corner cases. In some cases making the standard case even more perfect can make the corner cases even worse (737 MAX). These airplanes are complex and flying exposes them and their crew to wide variety of stresses.

Just the fact that these planes are getting longer and longer will have some side effects on how they handle. Maybe more caution is required when taking off, maybe the body vibrates very differently. While weight may be the same it is also further out which changes the handling dynamics. These make be small matters which may not matter until they do.

>any db can be classic serverless if they run in the _same computer_ as the app?

Not just the "same computer" ... it's the same process id (PID).

Extract of relevant text from that webpage:

>Classic Serverless: The database engine runs within the same process, thread, and address space as the application. There is no message passing or network activity.

In other words, when you compile and link "sqlite.c" into your own executable, the same PID (process) that handles text input and paints pixels on the screen -- is the same PID that writes to the sqlite database file. It's all the same process. That's what they mean by "classic serverless".

In contrast, if you make a Go executable that writes to MySQL/PostgreSQL db and make them both run on the same physical computer, that's not "classic serverless". It's because when you enter "ps -aux" to list all running processes, you see separate PIDs for the Go executable and the MySQL db engine.

Other jargon used might be "in-process" vs "out-of-process" or "embedded" vs "external". SQLite is sometimes characterized as "in-process embedded database" but MySQL is an "out-of-process" db.
I go to the library far more frequently than the movie theater. There's just something magical about libraries for me. So much collected knowledge and creativity, yet unexplored.

I could never take VC money. VCs and reasonable founders have very different definitions of success. A reasonable founder may say that 15 employees and revenue of 5M and profit of 1M is a huge success. A VC may say that 1M profit is bullshit. They could have made 1M profit investing in index funds.
That's not even the important point. Ownership of a domain name doesn't have to do with who is more of the owner of the name, nor whether the name is "etymologically pure", or whose use of the name is more popular. The entire right to own a domain (or TLD) is based solely upon ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Process, and any established case law which exists in your particular jurisdiction. So this thing that the majority of the world's communication and commerce is dependent upon is adjudicated by a private entity in a single country that makes its own rules.
Land the Perfect Job by Having Your Rich Dad Set You Up
Depends on what you're up to, I suppose. Having a particular chunk of data wrapped in a microservice has other benefits. If that's the direction one is headed anyhow, then wrapping SQLite + single access can be more tractable than allowing multiple access that you'll eventually have to rip out again. I know it works for plenty of people, but for me "database as integration layer" has always been an antipattern.

National distribution in the U.S. is an immense affair. Beyond the expense of advertising in local markets, it took the intensive development of several layers of massive infrastructure projects before we've arrived at today's level of "effortless" distribution. The principle problem is that the United States has no domestic East-West waterway option. No matter how good your rail and road shipping system is (and the U.S. has among the best in the world for freight), you can fit a lot of train's worth of goods into a single big container ship. Rail also only gets you so far, as you need local trucking links, large inter-modal warehouses and so-on.

What really happened was the rise of the trucking industry in the late 70s and early 80s coinciding with the rise of big-box stores like Walmart. This built all of the secondary and tertiary infrastructure -- and capacity -- to move whatever stuff you wanted wherever you wanted, pretty cheaply.

However, there's also two major East-West barriers in the U.S., the Mississippi river, which has largely been overcome but was a major geographic barrier in an earlier age, and the Rockies, which both involve a large energy cost to get over, but also have unreliable roads in certain areas during large parts of the year.

Many many large brands exist only on one side of their respective barriers or the other. Yuengling beers for example, more or less don't go any further than the Mississippi, while Dreyers ice cream more or less go no further than the Western Rockies.

To the original point, if they were "neutral", then what secrets did they have to hold?

And if they were "neutral", why were they helping the Allies?

All in all, your comment does not add up.
Let's say there are concurrent writes to a single table with few indexes. Process of updating said table and indices eventually boils down to update of a single B+ tree from a multiple threads. In general until serialized it is physically impossible without corrupting the tree. Sure there might be other specially crafted implementation of table more friendly to concurrent writes but there will be trade-offs. There are no miracles in the world.

As for particular case with WAL, all it does in this particular scenario is act as a queue. If your database load is spiky then it can even out load and make an impression of faster response. Under constant load it will not speed up the things and will internally serialize all actual updates

> Tests are not sound in the sense of conventional program logic (overapproximation).

Of course they are, in the logic sense of "sound", and in the same sense that incorrectness logic is sound. A test is a proof of a proposition about a single program behavior (provided that the execution is deterministic). But neither testing nor incorrectness logic are sound in the sense that term is used in software verification, namely as proofs of some explicit or implied universal proposition. In software verification, a sound technique is one that guarantees conformance to a specification over all behaviors (or conversely, the absence of spec violations in any behavior).
This talk is more of a rant than a good advice on managing a community. There are cases when spending a lot of time on documentation isn't reasonable, and the author completely ignores them, focusing only on benefits of having good documentation, as if it was coming for free.

Also, the title is misleading. The "Improving communities" part there actually means "Raising community's diversity".
I suspect that most of the medieval torture devices were rarely, if ever used. Morbid curiosity and horror stories have always been a thing. Torture museums are a popular thing, and I can easily imagine people making torture devices just to sell tickets. The Iron Maiden is an example of a torture device that was just for show.

The value of human life was much less back then, so that it was a lot more violent makes sense. But I don't think it is specific to medieval Europe. People happily killed and tortured each other everywhere in the world. Modern western society is an exception, not the norm.

> As far as I know LD_PRELOAD does not allows overriding syscalls, for example mmap. I believe also open call can not be overriden to (because it is a syscall too), so I wonder how ld-preload-open works?

LD_PRELOAD does not override syscalls themselves. It can be used to override the wrapper of a syscall.

Depending on your libc implementation, kernel version, and architecture, your `mmap` might not be implemented in terms of the `mmap` syscalls. It might be `mmap64` or `mmap2`. Similarly for `open` -- it's currently implemented with `openat` in glibc.

> Does this mean that you can hack some database storage (w/ sqlite) together on frontend only hosting platforms like Github or Netlify?

You can run SQLlite in the client via webassembly therefore open a SQLite file in the browser to query it yes, you just can't write anything in it and expect it to persist somehow on the static hosting service itself.

> The best I came up with: let's say you have a toy project, and you call the Github API and replace the file upon every write. Implementing a read is easier as you know where the file is located. This hack shows that you somehow need write access to get any form of performance out of it, because this hack is super slow.

No you'll need a server for that, you can't make random HTTP requests to any server in the browser, because of CORS/SAME ORIGIN policies.

"SQLite is serverless" is meaningless buzzword. It just means that SQLite is equivalent a flat file where you'd shove some data, just that you can use SQL to query that file instead of having to index data in it yourself.
This is awesome, thanks!

It's also given me the idea to ask around in functional-programming communities.

No need to go to the movies when most libraries have a media room with a fat plaque on the wall stating the contract they have with pretty much EVERY movie company, allowing them to screen films to the public.

Whatever the effect, it's at least getting better. As someone who rides a bike to work every day on urban roads that are usually congested, the recent rise of hybrids, and even just cars with auto start-stop systems, has been a blessing. It used to be that driving next to a line of stopped cars was a nightmare, but now at least half of them have their engines off, if they have an engine at all.

Moving an automobile a couple miles in a dense urban environment at very slow speeds shouldn't require much energy, at least from a pure physics standpoint.
That doesn't make any sense. A 24" 1080p monitor has the same "effective DPI" (actual physical size of things on screen) as both a 32" 1440p monitor at 100% scaling AND a 32" 4k screen at 150% scaling. You would be getting literally the exact same amount of screen space on the 4k display at 150% as you do on your 1440p screen, except that it would be even easier to read because the text, for example, would be sharper.

This opinion piece overstates its case. NC has a flat 5.25% income tax. Alaska has no income tax. Yet NC is growing and Alaska shrinking. There’s a lot more going on with where people choose to live than just tax rates.

Like acquired tastes there are acquired distastes, and swapping earphones seems to be one of them. I remember us teenagers back in the 90s swapping earphones like Sony's MDR A20 all the time. This article seems less about teenagers using technology but rather the age of the author.
I stopped showing up on time a few years back for the same reason. 30mins delay (ads 80%, trailers 20%). I find it insulting.

Frequent visitors applies to each dataset. There are a certain % of people who go to every big movie opening. Kids are over represented in both groups. There are too many agents of change that could affect either dataset to draw a conclusion.

The bigger question is why are people not going to the movies anymore. A few years ago the numbers wouldn't be as close. There is a trend to go out to a movie less and stream more.

You are entirely correct that this has absolutely nothing to do with 4k resolutions at all, and the author seems oddly hung up on that. I'm currently sitting at a pair of 4k, 27 inch monitors. Arch (gnome on wayland), Windows 10, and macOs ALL handle the scaling A-OK.

Most of them do it automatically at this point too. So I'm really struggling to understand the position this article presents.

It really just sounds like the author didn't realize a 30+ inch monitor 20 inches from your face requires head movement, and somehow hasn't figured out scaling.

A close friend has taken a tour of a local landfill in WA state and was shown a perfectly preserved months-old banana that was dug out by the presenter from the landfill. Apparently the landfills, at least here, are completely sealed. If a banana stays “fresh” for months a sheet of paper will stay fresh for a century.

And be that as it may, suppose we create special landfill for paper - that one can easily be made completely sealed and good for a thousand years.
