Wasn't this a MacBook feature at one point? That behavior sounds quite familiar to me.

Berlin is also super unevenly populated and includes several forests. If you compare the density of the actually populated areas, like Mitte, you are still under Manhattan, sure, but only by a factor of 4 - which is extra impressive given t

I'm the OP of the DBA StackExchange post, and while yes, it does technically work in this case, you do lose some abilities. For one, its much harder to `count(*)` rows with `DISTINCT`. Also, `DISTINCT` uses a totally different mode in

L4 and L5 are stable (see Jupiter's asteroid collection), but the others involve essentially trying to balance on a infinitesimal pinpoint, with any perturbation causing one to "fall off" and move away.

Sure, but automating this requires a lot more tooling. In the case described with multiple, widely spread instances, you'll need to be able to a) Reliably determine which step you are on - this includes both migration steps and applica

The sticky part is the social network effect. Its by FAR the dominant messaging app in much/most of Europe. Some switch to Signal/others has occurred... but if you have _one_ friend who doesn't switch that you want to continu

It probably does actually mean "File Transfer Protocol". Its not uncommon (or wasn't at least) to find workflows that rely on data files of a specific format (to varying degrees) being FTP'd into the right server and the

I'm curious to see how this compares in real life to TimescaleDB hypertables with compression - which to me, reads as much the same thing. I'm wondering if Citus is bringing a lower level implementation of idea possibly?

Not defending/attacking the phrase "disastrously bad", but I'm not sure its a fair argument to say "the docs explain it", if the behavior isn't what a "reasonable" person would expect. Writing so

Did the toolchain you were working on support both GCC and Clang? I ask because I was recently trying to work on a ESP32 project in vim and got stuck hard on YouCompleteMe only using a clangd-based completer while the project was only compi

I was under the impression from reading the patch comments [1] that it was more of an issue with them not having an open copy of their ISA documentation (which then is causing a lack of possible reviewers) [1] https://reviews.llv

Usually acetone doesn't work so well on the PLA the author is printing the keycaps in. There are other sprays or things you can apply to PLA for a good effect though - I'm betting any of the things used to make PLA food-safe would

No, not really. Filtering out atmosphere isn't that hard for some (most?) spectra that we care about. The benefits of a bigger mirror are more about resolution than signal quality. There are physical limits to the size of a distant obj

In regards to billing, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a combination of strict regulations/registrations about efficiency and then semi-simple toll roads. If you know how much a given truck consumes and the distance it travels,

Until a build process starts naming things with timestamps, locales, etc. Just because the build is "source code only" doesn't mean it is deterministic.

That is a risk, but not an uncommon one. There are a dozen other workflows that rely on users installing CAs, maybe not quite w/o root, but all the same, installed, so this isn't a new idea. Also, it seems to me that virtually any

There is such a limit to areal density. The math involved dives into entropy and the planck length, but the short answer is that any information at a quantum level must be quantized in some form and the smallest possible quantization is the
