You can use “taskpolicy - b <command>” on MacOS cli to force it on a performance core. I’ve had to use it when doing benchmarking as I also noticed variations due to migrations. Not sure if you can combine that with docker though.

Same here (Belgium). We recreated a lot of experiments in class Even our math teacher would tell us the stories of how mathematicians "came" to their solutions. A good teacher makes such a huge difference

If anyone wants to get into flooding, I recently met the people of geosmart.space They’re selling height maps of South-Africa, primary for flooding prediction for insurance companies. Smart & friendly bunch.

Any tips for the person on the other side? I often mention something without implying blame (or even assuming blame), but it’s still processed that way. I’m trying to be conscious of this though.

Indeed, since 2016. Before 2016 platinum was worth more than gold, even double for a brief period in 2008. Now gold is worth 2.5x what platinum is worth. https://www.macrotrends.net/2541/platinum-prices-vs-gold-pri...

Small consumer base for porn or for the current $3000 apple headset? The immersion is really good. Apple would never allow it in their ecosystem, but OnlyFans + immersive VR could sell very well.

I’d been having problems with Sonos and Spotify for a year or two: Playing a song on Spotify takes 3 tries and about 25 seconds. Always. Playing from Tidal is faster (~5 seconds wait and no retries needed) I bought a WiimAmp and bookshelf s

PgHero is also from him I believe. Very helpful to identify slow queries in production, remove duplicate indexes, see missing indexes, keep an eye on table size, etc. https://github.com/ankane/pghero

That sounds cumbersome when devs are working in their respective branches and changing the schema (adding migrations)

While true, him leaving OpenAI to (one of) their biggest competitors does seriously risk his eggs in the OpenAI basket.

(I'm not the other poster) They're probably referring to this tweet from Max Howell [0] > Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so fuck off. I per

I did almost the same thing (minus the solar part, just an inverter and usb) Can I ask what case you chose? That was the trickiest part imo. I went with a hard plastic ammo case from amazon (hard to find in Europe) If anyone is curious to d

I was thinking the same thing. In all use-cases I've seen a close estimate of the median was enough.

Google Maps had a total monopoly and Google could have leveraged that in the competition between Android and iOS. Maybe they even tried asking Apple for a lot of money to be able to use it on iOS. It takes years, even a decade to get maps t

The analogy doesn't work well. Sure Steve Jobs and Apple shareholders got rich, but everyone that bought a Mac, or iPhone, or iPad was able to benefit from the innovations they brought. As far as I know, a raider doesn't share or

I like your description, and it resonates with how I see things. A lot of people think of aesthetics when they hear "design". But design is about how things work. Everything we use was at some point designed by someone. In our Saa

Do you mean it’s missing features or that it requires lots of maintenance and handholding? I’m evaluating some of the options for toy projects so I’m curious to read people’s experiences.

I agree with this. If most of us just limit our meat intake, that will have a huge impact. Going from 7 days meat per week to 3 or 4, and maybe reducing the portions can easily halve your impact. My wife is vegan and we eat a lot of plant-b

That's interesting, in Belgium I think it's "2 seconds", or at least that's what was promoted recently on the radio. You should be able to sing "Last night a DJ saved my live", which is a bit more than 2 s

Is the word “condom” considered disrespectful? I can understand terms that are discriminatory in nature or historically. But an anti-conception piece of rubber?
