Ok, got it, thanks. The wording in the comment I was responding to confused me and made me think it was possible to also change the overcommit behavior for a cgroup, not just the limits.

Interesting idea. How does that work in practice? If I've got 64GiB RAM, and PostgreSQL has 32GiB memory usage, and Go has 32GiB of memory. If the database requests more memory, it gets ENOMEM, but if the backend app requests more memo

I was aware of GOMEMLIMIT, but it didn't cross my mind in this case, thanks for pointing it out. It could be really useful! I'll have to check our specific use case

This has bitten me multiple times. The problem I have is that at work we deploy the application (written in Go) and PostgreSQL on the same machine. The backend app allocates a lot of virtual memory, and initially we had overcommit to 0 (heu

Sure. But Occitaine is also incredibly different to Normandie, so it'd be a fairer comparison. Romania and France are different in a way that Oregon and Florida aren't. They have the same federal government, the same official lang

A US state is not a country. I get that there is a lot of federalism in the US and that states often have different laws and regulations, but the same is true for European countries. You can compare the US to Germany, or Sourh Carolina to B

That's fair. Experiences have a great influence on opinions you form, and everyone's experience is different. You live in a different part of the world than I do and know different people. I even conceded that in North America, th

Yeah, but only if you take the arguments fully out of context and only if you view a subset of the arguments. First, the argument of your garden-variety nerd atheist don't always map so cleanly to negative theology. I've seen plen

As for the why, I don't have an answer, but I thought I addressed it with this: > I'll admit that there are also groups of Christians that take the bible very literally, as I'm sure there are for other religions as well. F

The internet was different, for sure. But the post you are responding to just stated that they don't really believe arguments were rational and logical back then. I don't think any of your points refutes that.

Is that a good thing? I think getting stuck is an intrinsic part of the learning process and sometimes it's good that there isn't an immediate answer from a senior. For some things you'd never have solved yourself, sure. But

That's not true. A heat pump produces 1.5 to kwH of heat per kwH of electricity consumed, so it's already much more efficient than a diesel generator. Even in winter, electricity from the grid is greener than burning diesel. I did

Why not? Could you elaborate? I'd love to know more. I always had the feeling that supporting SteamOS basically meant that generic Linux Desktop support was almost implied because in the end it's almost always on Proton rather tha

I didn't do this, I just stumbled across this on reddit. The building sizes are determined by the number of views in the past 12 months.

Posts like these make me realize I know next to nothing about a lot of the systems I daily work with. It is always humbling to read things like these!

English has present perfect, and past perfect. E.g. "I have walked" and "I had walked", both tenses are participated (ie "walked" instead of "walk"). These two are similar to the German Perfekt and Pl

I'm also wondering about that. But maybe this could be it? > Surprisingly, the table is just as big as with the enum type above, even though an enum uses four bytes. The reason is that each table row is aligned at a memory address

That is not true, though. Reading from a nil map panics, and reading from an empty map does not.

I think there's multiple things coming together. I'm in no way arguing to forbid immigration, I'm just pointing out that I don't think Digital Nomads are a net positive and that there are real economic consequences beyon

Well, that only counts if you see the DN as a net positive. Similar to tourists, a lot of people see DN as a net negative because they spend some money, sure, but they also raise rent and hospitality prices. This can harm local communities

I live in what's not exactly a digital nomad hotspot, but they do come. You pay 150€/month for a coworking space in a city where some people pay 300-400€/month rent. These digital nomads come here, pay absurd amounts of rent

The quote reminds me of Tucholsky, a German journalist known for this style. An example that comes to mind was his review of James Joyce's Ulysses: "It's like meat extract: you can't eat it, but many soups will be made w

Still a valid counterargument. A good browser based DB GUI might just not exist because the existing desktop ones are so good already. I personally also vouch for DataGrip, a fantastic tool. No browser based tool is going to come close to t

For context, because I had to look it up: For BB(6), Σ(6) is known to be least 10 ↑↑ 15 for in Knuth's up-arrow notation. You can read this as 10^(10 ↑↑ 14) = 10^(10^(10 ↑↑ 13)) and so on. It's much more than just a lot. Anyone kn

Interesting, the dentists I have asked (4) all said it doesn't matter (Spain and Germany, maybe it's relevant) at all and it's up to personal preference.
