I would've compromised for this dock if it were cheaper. A lot cheaper.

I'd pay $300 for a dock with 100W PD, 4k60 and gigabit. But this ain't it.
Weight. This is so much about vehicle weight.

I think the heavier EVs hit a crossover point because of regenerative braking, but weight does set them back, that's one of the whole points of this study:

This is a curve though. We could almost simplify the problem and only look at what heavy trucks generate and ignore all the cars completely, it'd be a non-crazy approximation.

Ignoring widespread belief that the Turkish elections were less than fair, this kind of sentiment about politicians always surprises me. If I vote for a candidate why am I required to forever support every thing they do? I can vote for someone and still disagree (even strongly) with some of their decisions.

Somehow most western supported military coups and regimes persist, in South America, Africa, middle East and East Asia. And most of these coups have wide spread support in a wider political panorama. So military coups or uprisings seem to destabilize and stabilize third world.

Yet ongoing demonstrations in France and England are usually ignored and violently suppressed without support from elites. I'm curious why

Two 4k @ 60 Hz is either Thunderbolt (which is fine for Macs but has a price and I would rather buy like https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38575 or https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31261 instead of a noname company) or DisplayLink which is to be avoided at all costs. This hub is Thunderbolt as can be deciphered from "Does not support MacBook models with single USB-C port" (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201736#usbc ) but the fact I need to decipher what it is a second strike against it. It seems lately Intel has loosened its iron grip on Thunderbolt 3 (after all, it handed the standard over to USB IF) so now everything goes (we see empty M.2 to TB3 enclosures and chaining eGPU boxes both of which were forbidden by Intel prior) but the fact they didn't include the trademarked name makes me go hm.

Finally, it could be a DP 1.4 MST hub but that is very rare (the first USB C to DP 1.4 MST I am aware of was announced at CES 2020 https://plugable.com/2020/01/07/plugables-new-docking-statio... and didn't ship yet) and figuring out support will be _very_ interesting. All Intel 14nm laptop CPUs are stuck with DisplayPort 1.2 and then researching which laptops with Radeon / nVidia GPUs run their USB C through those GPUs to provide DP 1.4 will be fun.

Let's put 4k @ 60 (and then 4k @ 30) into the bandwidth calculator: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/729232-guide-to-display... you can see you need more than what DP 1.2 can provide so everything I said above applies.

Oh and of course if it's for a Mac, in general, you could just use two USB C plugs, I suspect that's what the 4k @ 60 + 4k @ 30 is: one plug is used in DP alt mode, the other is used in MFDP mode.
Oh I love the idea that you need to pay to leave a review. This way it becomes harder to fake a large number of reviews.
Common perception is that Soviet electroncis were generally 10-15 years behind.
Turkey is an interesting country to deal with. For example let's say you are a hosting company in the US and one of your customers is rebroadcasting Turkey television. A turkey govt agency would reach out to you and ask that you terminate that customer. If you refused, they go to the domestic incumbent Telecom (Turk Telecom) and null route your entire company ip addr space. Basically all of turkey won't be able to hit any of your customers. Know a few small hosting shops this happened to and saw the emails.
I wouldn't trust Dell with this. I have a Dell monitor that I bought because it has a USB-C port that supported both PD and video. But it turns out it doesn't work well with MacBooks (constantly loses connection, and messes with the MacBook's sleep). Dell acknowledged the issue and released a patch that fixed it ... for Windows machines. They refuse to fix it for MacBooks because they don't want to support a competitor's product. So I would be highly skeptical of a Thunderbolt dock from Dell working well with MacBooks.

Addendum: That monitor is also a dud in many other ways, notably that the PIP and PBP feature sucks and it has horrific ghosting. All a real shame as Dell used to have high standards for their monitors.

> It is a drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL.

Well, that's a bold assumption as pg is speaking one of the richest sql dialects out there. And it also means it supports pg WAL protocol ?

The product is backed by solid research, so I suppose that there must be some powerful algorithms built-in, with a good coupling with hardware [1].

So the last question is how the code is made and tested, because good algorithms are not enough for a having a solid codebase. pg+(redis/memcached) is battle-tested.

Seems to use some common ideas with pg such as query jit compilation but mixes it with another approach.

It's not like nfs has parity with a local posix-compliant filesystem. O_APPEND for example is inherently racy and emulated on nfs last I checked.

> Just using websites of the form barclaysfoo.co.uk is obviously unsafe, because it's rife with phishing opportunities since you're training customers to accept these kinds of domains and then some phisher goes out and registers barclaysblah.co.uk and users don't think twice about entering their credentials there.

This is a case for a better structured web, not for giving up meaningful hierarchies altogether. It shouldn't be possible to register a .co.uk domain unless you are a company that is registered in the UK and can be sued. Ideally companies also shouldn't be allowed to use TLD not designated for them so barclays.awesome etc. is suspicious. A namespace like .bank.uk would be even more secure.

> Subdomains off barclays.co.uk are also not great, because cookies can be shared up to the domain level (intentionally or accidentally),

There is no reason we can't treat barclays.co.uk like a top level domain for some purposes, using a mechanism like the public suffix list.

So the new TLDs encourage people to migrate, thus changing URLs and frequently breaking them by not bothering with redirects.

I am not a very talented programmer so I stick very close to what is common, standard, and easy to understand. It usually means I am on the downslope of the hype cycle and it limits some opportunities but I have become okay with that.

I have gotten some CS students who were about to shoot flies with various cannons turned on to SQLite. I kept a couple of the decent books about it nearby and would shove it into their hands at that point. Usually a week later they would be raving about it.

It wasn't 'new information' in 1988, it was just news to the plebes, and it was measured/articulated in some way.

This goes back far beyond the advent of 'cable news'.

For centuries, newspapers have been created, bought and promulgated mostly for the purposes of making money and promoting the narrative of the owners, often in the form of personal attacks.

Yes, I'm 'projecting' a little but this issue usually takes quite some time and exposure to grasp as most people don't have any direct dealings with it. It comes up way too often with young people referring to Manufacturing Consent as some kind of revelation. The fact is it's a revelation to them, but not objectively a revelation.

On the other hand, very few applications need to scale to the point where it matters. If the options are "ship something now and refactor later" versus "ship something in six months that's perfect but too late", most people here would benefit from cross platform solutions.

Very few companies have ever failed because their tech stack didn't scale well.

There's definitely a need for a secure (based on actual cryptography) door entry control system.

Most of what I've seen in the field is either HID iClass (no idea how secure they are) or Mifare Classic. The latter doesn't even attempt to use the card's crypto features (which are broken, but it would've at least been an attempt) and just uses the UID of the card which is broadcast in the clear and even the card's datasheet explicitly warns against using it for any kind of security.

I have been using SQLite as a format to move data between steps in a complicated batch processing pipeline.

With the right pragmas it is both faster and more compact than JSON.
It is also much more "human readable" than gigabytes of JSON.

I only wish there was a way to open an http-fetched SQLite database from memory so I don't have to write it to disk first.

I agree, and it's also very unlikely that engine failures are independent, since they're the same model, coming from the same manufacturer, and the same maintenance procedures.

There's probably less drag from two engines than four as well.
If you examine it closely, youll see that they have alot incommon, and that the author defined the term neo-serverless to attempt to adress this - both definitions share the fact that multiple applications (in clientless form) can access the database.

I agree with you that it take a bit to marry both, but the stretch isnt far.
