PostgreSQL query performance bottlenecks
In one sense, workstation operating systems eventually did win out over traditional PC operating systems. This happened in 2001, when the release of Windows XP was the first version of Windows for consumers that was based on the NT kernel instead of MS-DOS (before then, Microsoft had two concurrent versions of Windows: one based on MS-DOS for home users and one based on the NT kernel for workstation users and servers), and when the release of Mac OS X 10.0 was the first consumer version of the modern Macintosh operating system that was based on the NEXTSTEP-derived Mach/BSD kernel and provided a Unix userland. This was a very big deal since DOS-based Windows and the classic Mac OS were designed for the much more spartan computing environments of the early-to-mid 1980's and thus struggled to keep up with the rapidly evolving technologies of the 1990's and early 2000's. Switching to workstation-quality operating systems not only placed desktop computing on foundations that could better adapt with the times, but they also brought much-needed stability to both Windows and the Mac, which had reputations for being very crash-happy.

In another sense, what I've noticed is that in computing, the low end tends to eventually catch up in speed and performance with the high end. Here are some examples I could think of:

1. Lisp machines fell out of favor when RISC workstations from vendors like Sun and DEC started outperforming Lisp machines at running Lisp programs. Of course, the AI winter of the 1980's did not help matters.

2. Linux (and to a lesser extent Free/Net/OpenBSD) helped dramatically reduce the dominance of proprietary Unix operating systems such as AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, and Solaris.

3. Once the performance/dollar ratio for x86 chips started exceeding that of RISC workstations, suddenly running Linux or *BSD on commodity PCs became a compelling alternative in many applications to purchasing RISC workstations running proprietary Unix operating systems.

Of course, there's another contributing factor to the decline of the workstation: the controversy surrounding the development of the Intel Itanium and its embrace by vendors of RISC workstations to the point of halting further development of those RISC architectures, only for the Itanium to not live up to its promised performance, and then the subsequent development of x86-64 by AMD and Intel's eventual adoption of that architecture, led to an ecosystem where the x86 and x86-64 architectures were utterly dominant from the mid-2000s through the late 2010s, until the rise of ARM.
Global risk matters much more than local risk. What can the government do?
Never had heard about it and use graphviz since... dunno, more than 15 years probably.
Docker can be considered a deployment tool. You package your application in an image and run said image. Development and test of that application does not have to be in a docker image.
For what it’s worth, I clicked on the HN link on my iPhone and it opened in the Twitter app (that I never use) and it was extremely readable. Literally no problems reading it at all.
I thought I missed physical media but it turned out I just missed fancy playback equipment. I do have piles of vinyl and CDs, what has really gotten out of hand for me is classic, aluminium faced stereo equipment of the 1970s and early 80s.

Big tactile knobs and switches. Hums, thumps, lights, crazy control schemes, wires going everywhere.

The beautiful bearings and smooth operation of good quality japanese direct drive turntables. Brushed aluminium and timber cheeks on receivers. The insane mechanical genius of 3 head cassette players with multiple belts and auto stop mechs.

The tuners too. Hefty weighted knobs, VU meters or staged lighting showing the signal strength and that magic little stereo light when you get it tuned right.

Its fun to play with, simple enough to tinker with and repair with mostly discrete components.

The music sounds right too. Its got pops and hisses and those big power amps thump and wallop and send me back to when I first heard those tunes.

You have to sit and listen and not skip tracks or skip genres. When I showed my daughter how to find her favourite track by counting the grooves on an LP it was like a rite of initiation. There is magic in that classic gear.
> after I collapsed playing a game way back in the early days

Ouch. What was the collapse caused by? Was it related to the game?
Up front. Only a man and his dog could work comfortably in it, but a few did by paring back old data. Made it feel like giving a bit back.
Why does the city/country not invest that money in affordable housing first?

You're representing this as a dichotomy. It's not though. Governments have enough resources to do more than one thing at a time.
I have the feeling that I have had this all my life. Maybe it is because as I child I was allowed to wander around on myself by foot and by bike. I remember that when I was still in primary school, I often made biking trips going as far as 6 miles from our home. When I am in a strange area, I always have some sense of the direction from which I came.
You can use invisible clusters also to group things
I have to admit I subscribe to this line of thinking, but I also have to admit it is just conspiracy theory advanced classes. However I do believe it is useful to talk about conspiracy theories in a more fine grained way, after all even the most rationale people who flat out renounce them have at least some opinion which do not 100% align with the official narratives.

> industrial problems

Based on tens of thousands of Russian patents (i.e. problems + solutions).

Used by Samsung and others in modern "innovation", i.e. new patents.
This is a valid concern.

I think it's just worth noting a few things:

- Piscina will block the worker event loop indefinitely by default. This is their way of circumventing the native port.on('message', callback) API. It definitely shocked me a bit at first, but the team's maintainers include maintainers of Node itself (so this likely wasn't a beginner's mistake), and the decision makes sense given the scope of the project.

- We use Piscina in a way that's very custom to our needs, hence we've forked it. The solution here was one that both fit us very well and was quick to implement, which is why we picked it. We did also expose the useAtomics flag on our side, so it's possible to turn off all event loop blocking at the worker level very easily.
I didn't, dude.

> I think this is missing the point, that there is no risk for the individual to denying COVID or vaccinations (or a round earth)

One of the reasons I got vaccinated (despite having a fear of needles) is the fact my mother has COPD and I want to protect her. One could argue that's a selfish reason, ie. I want my children to know one of their grandmother (their grandfathers, including my father, having passed away before they knew them).

That's my personal reasoning, I also want to get out of this crisis and I don't wish it upon anyone to lose a loved one. Its a matter of compassion. I believe -perhaps naively- we all have someone to lose, one way or another. Though it may seem support for COVID-19 regulations is dwindling across the globe (and it is), the group who's firmly against is and remains an active, relatively small amount of loudmouths.

If you follow the above narrative, there's an understandable urge to that in order to defeat the problem, we can convince people to follow the COVID-19 regulations, to get vaccinated, etc. But what happens is that people double down within the cult-esque echo chamber. And such echo chamber is there in both examples (antivax and flat earth). So the urge, while understandable, we must abstain from, as its like 'energy put into a black hole'.

Funny little story: Back when I still had Facebook, I joined a Facebook group called Flat Earth Society ('we have members all around the globe'), thinking it was actually a joke, like I'd call 'The Illuminatus Trilogy'. I took me while (Poe's Law) till I figured these people actually weren't joking; they were dead serious. Its like someone who makes a terrible joke with bad taste, until you realize at some point, that they're serious about it. E.g. they really wanna eat a human being, not just jokingly.

As others have mentioned this is mostly marketing and not UBI for many reasons but one thing that irks me particularly with this initiative is selecting candidates based on occupation.

The *whole point* is to *not* select based on who is more or less deserving, that exists already and is called welfare.
The downside is you can't make much in the way of red (wine|jam) if you use most of the flowers for cordial in the summer. If you have space, plant more! They seed readily, grow fast, and handle heavy pruning or coppicing.
I mean if that's normal to you I guess you're not aware of the reputation they have among normal Japanese people.
Isn't the whole point that talking about "the present moment" about something very far away isn't particularly meaningful when simultaneity for spatially separated events depends on the observer?
In the topic of special relativity, I wholeheartedly recommend recently published "Unusually Special Relativity| by Andrzej Dragan (https://www.amazon.com/Unusually-Special-Relativity-Andrzej-...). It starts from basic high-school mathematics but covers many paradoxes and puzzles. Some might challenge ordinary students, who know the formula but didn't stretch their minds on "what if" questions. It includes cases where velocity is higher than the speed of light - as there are a few caveats on "nothing can travel faster than light".

Also, this "velocity addition for v<<c" is covered in the first chapter.

I read its draft almost 20 years ago (back then, it was a collection of notes in Polish) and didn't find anything remotely close to it in English. Later, I had the pleasure of attending his course.

Also, Andrzej Dragan is a notorious individual, primarily known in photography (https://andrzejdragan.com/). To the point that there are posts on "how to Draganize a picture".
> For a country that wants to start a similar program, mislabeling it (because of course it is not actually universal) as “UBI” could be strategic—make people comfortable with the term that could later be expanded to involve actual UBI with less controversy.

Or water it dowm so that people can't ask for actual UBI.
Fine mostly, until it’s not. Then maybe those last couple meters might count.
Wrong. Game centers, aka arcades, are run by organised crime as well.
if you want X nodes falling near in the graph you just put them into a box with white lines and they move as one from this point. Can be made with the cluster environment.
Also: It's illegal to build multi-storey housing in large parts of America. You know, the kind where you have stores on the ground floor and apartments above. Illegal and actively NIMBYed against.

A grocery store for a neighbourhood, within walking/biking distance? Illegal, against zoning laws.

I also did (well, "am doing", can only work a bit each day and am plugging through day 7 right now) AdventOfCode in Zig this year.

These points here didn't resonate with me at all. I wonder if the author knew about or tried ZLS[0]. I had it on and integrated with my VSCode and it would check a lot of things as I went and format on save. I think I followed something like this[1] to set it up.

yep, dangerous business calling out Apple these days tho. The only thing particularly relevant to the New Peoples on here is the takeaway that Apple has, can and will change its APIs as a means of exercising market and labor control any. time. they. want. to. It's in their DNA because their leadership came up in a time when these mechanisms were off-radar of labor regulators and the FTC (that they perceived to then be as relevant as modern day Bitcoiners surely perceive the SEC to be). The worst example was probably OpenDoc, but there are plenty of others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taligent Can still hear batshit criminals (now with personal fortunes worth $134B) talking about their "right" to innovate...(ie, F with the APIs) In looking at what's happening with Section 230 Reform, one can't help but wonder if the current dystopia could have been avoided had Congress given such attention to operating system APIs in the pre-AppStore/pre-HTML5 era.
I think you're missing the point here.
It's great to have cultural heritage, but it's much better to get people out of poverty and hunger first, I think we should mainly focus on more important tasks at hand if we already have the resources to do that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an art enthusiast myself but I think that if someone is really passionate, they will go out and look for a sponsor themselves that's how it worked over the ages and our cultural heritage as a civilization is quite rich I'd say.

This is especially true for people who have other responsibilities like raising children or caring for elderly relatives.

But that's how every side hustle works, you have to get organized and manage your time well, having children is not an excuse.
The whole entertainment sector in Japan that caters to nerds aka otakus is very much not enticing to normal people. It's very seedy, and run by crime syndicates.
Being fired for harassment/abuse doesn't magically mean that you'll never harass or abuse someone in the future. Hiring someone with a track record of these issues puts your other employees at risk.
Amazing.

I still don't see the value in NFTs. Unless there is a contract between the seller and the buyer specifying exactly what is being sold, only an entry in a ledger is being sold.
Apologies, I didn't appreciate you meant average temperature underground - that is definitely much warmer. We have a ventilation shaft for an old limestone mine near our house and on a cold day the warm air rising from it is very noticeable.
I’ve worked in the gaming industry and I was surprised how some fairly standard questions about creativity, playing games, character development, etc. lead to detailed insights into the candidate’s personality.

We’ve had candidates answer “You have to organise a fun evening for the 80 employees of this office. Your budget is $10. What do you do?” (a question meant to leverage their understanding that 70 of those 80 are insanely creative people who barely need a pen and paper to have fun) by suggesting going to a strip-club.

“What’s your favourite game?” is a staple (no answer is disqualifying in most cases); “Which character do you play?” the obvious follow-up when it’s an option. Candidates have suggested with blunt words that their pick characters in certain video games because they are female, well-endowed and barely dressed. The word “jiggle” was used, with a nervous laughter that I had to describe in my feedback as ‘cringey’.

If one of those people understand that they did wrong, I’m hoping they’ll give considerate answers to what are standard, common questions. I’ve never heard a full contrition during an interview (not on that matter) but that could be an interesting conversation.
If they think that they did nothing wrong sexualising their colleagues, I would expect hiring manager to notice a nervous laughter, connect that to the previous employer and date of departure, and possibly prod discretely; “What do you think is missing in the game industry nowadays?” is a good follow-up. If they walked passed a female employee, I might ask her if she noticed any sideway look.
Yeah that's game over. I repaired our washing machine when the rear cross piece broke after seven years: took it apart, found the fault (hard to miss of course; when these parts fail, they literally tear apart), ordered the spare part, bought some suitable stainless bolts, and repaired it.

At the ten year mark, the electronics just died. As that consists of one solid resin encased block of electronics (not a part available as spare), repairing it would only make sense if I had:

* Space to put it aside for a while and work out how to replace electronics

* Electrical engineering skills beyond what I have

* A replacement washing machine in the interim (we just had a baby at that point)

* Willingness to invest days in this project

I think I fall within the 5% (3%? 1%?) of people who can manage the first repair, but the latter is a one in ten thousand (optimistic estimate) kind of issue. Economically, it makes no sense to repair it, which is really unfortunate.

It might have been possible to take the electronics from a broken machine of the same type, but these cannot realistically be found here.

Sounds like common sense to me. But you can't argue for views like that in polite society - you'll be howled down by a crowd of people who believe the doctrine of "herd immunity" applies to leaky vaccines that wear off after three months.
> 9) The other planets are also flat and only appear round because they are tidally locked with respect to the earth.

Much harder to argue for this these days now that amateur telescopes/decent camera optics have become reasonably cheap and cameras too.
Jupiter has a rotation period of only ten hours, so one can easily see it rotate within one night.
The sun takes a bit longer since it has a rotation period of 25-38d (depends on the latitude which is quite interesting) and if there are no sun spots it's kind of hard to tell.
No I didn't. I was talking about Game Centers. I guess you're a too far gone Otaku to even tell how creepy the places you think of as "iconic" are.
The root problem here is that this used to be a satellite downlink band. So virtually no guard bands were required. It is like if someone bought a house in a residential area, knocked it down, and built a steel mill.
Why would rent not rise? Landlords know you have X more to spend now. Why would they not raise prices, altruism? You think that's their reason behind renting out property?

Same with the telecommunications pseudo-monopolies: you really think they won't try and tap into that resource even if a little? Communications has become almost as vital as housing the last decade.

Companies will do everything they can and the public is capable of paying to increase their revenue.

Also: depends on how you define 'rent control'
Annotations are a band aid. They easily move what otherwise were compile time errors into runtime errors. The advantage of using them is that you have to write less (repetitive) code.

I prefer code without them. They add magic. I dont like magic in my code.

Is this actually possible? I am say agnostic myself, but my understanding would be that every major religion considers it a elementary sin if you don't worship their given God, not just any random god.

Hardly.

Having in mind what CIA has done typically with many leaders in the past, there is a non-negligible probability to this project be used for very bad things also, sadly. Turning the project into an extortion list would be the less concerning of them.
It's been a feature for quite some time now.

> conductivity does not depend on pressure

I think it might be fumed silica aerogel at about 0.1 bar.

This paper describes the use of the same material for building insulation:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-The-thermal-conductivi...

I suspect the key issue will be maintaining that low pressure for the ~100 year lifespan of the building. Perhaps future versions will come with micro pumps so that once per year the pressure can be pumped back down to 0.1 bar. Looks like for about a dollar you can buy a little 3 volt vacuum pump. One per panel out to do a decent job.
Maybe if the network administrator has disabled UPnP that is a hint that they don't want to allow random devices to expose themselves to the entire internet?!
>It sounds you're the type of person who says we can't have effective pollution control laws because otherwise jobs will move to places where they have worse laws.

I am that type of person, i am not saying that just because it's too late: they already moved there. China until very recently gave completely zero regard to the environment (and mostly still doesn't) and they use it as a leverage for their economic development.

>What does policing have to do with anything?

Because main reasoning behind UBI is the crime threat created by the poor, and the chances that UBI will reduce crime?

>How much more do you think we can tax Gates before he decides to leave the US, never to return, and never to visit a country with an appropriate extradition treaty for the US?

Why so? He will just drop the passport (with 0.001% of cash he has you can legally buy a passport in many first-world countries), and next year will become a non-US person for tax purposes?
And if you think of scrapping tax benefits for investments from the non-US persons, then well... It will mean the end of the good old U.S. because not just all rich will leave investing their money elsewhere, but no foreign capital will come in, and USD will stop being a reserve country. U.S. will be no better, or richer, than say Brazil, will simply become an irrelevant backwater.

Sounds like you guys want to eat the cake and have it, too: U.S. is a country to achieve things, it is a country for the 1%, or even less. Best people from around the world go there to make it, and they do - this isn't possible anywhere else. But to have winners, you need to have losers too. Do you want to be like the EU where people immigrate mostly for the "free stuff", and sometimes never work at all again after moving in?
