The power to send mass messages to a whole country is the worst thing google/apple have given to governments across the world.

Darn. I don't know if I have been living in the wrong places but I never see drug-addicted homeless people in my western country at night.

If you want a consistent backup that you can use to setup a replica you need to block writes while the backup is taken, take the backup while the database is shutdown OR use xtrabackup.

The "making it catch up" is the tricky part. You need an initial backup for that. xtrabackup can take that backup "hot" without blocking read/writes. mysqldumper will block writes for whatever time that initial back

If you’re migrating a large MySQL database and you’re not using mydumper/myloader, you’re doing it the hard way. If you aren't using xtrabackup you are doing it wrong. I recently migrated a database with 2TB of data fro

On a computer click click is a lot slower since you have to come to a complete pointer stop in your release. If your pointer is still moving in the release square most interfaces would detect that as some attempt to start a drag

Not having the right click to cancel a drag would certainly be a huge difference

by jpablo 1y ago
This doesn’t make any sense. Click and click is slower than click+drag, it’s just obviously two extra movements (a full extra press and an extra release). You can also drag and hover while waiting for the opponent move and release if the ex

They aren't blocking anything. They are just asking nicely not to be crawled. Given that AI companies haven't cared a single bit about ripping of other's peoples data I don't see why they would care now.

Others have commented on other parts of the letter but I find it very amusing he is basically stuck in a 2006 view of the tech world. Slashdot and HDD seek times immediately jumped out as things are as dead as they can be. I wonder if he ev

I was researching a brother laser recently and there were a shitload reports of the printer crapping out with non original toner after a power outtage. Also if you were buying non original toner you had to transfer your drm chip to the new
