I'll be curious to see how the hinge holds up against wear, tear and small particle intrusion over time. If people get to 2 years and it's still going great. Then I may pick up a Duo 3. But my adoption really comes down to the pro

When Apple still had intel chips, I remember how long it used to take for external displays to be properly detected and to start working. The first time I used a M series chip, suddenly the displays were detected and started working in a se

Rails shops running on normal CRuby, have difficult in effectively scaling out multithreading due to the GVL lock. It's much easier to "scale" ruby using forking with sidekiq or multi process, and to have it consume data from

I've got a Apple TV -> Denon -> LG C3. CEC on the appleTV remote will turn all 3 on, and long pressing (power button on appletv remote) will turn all 3 off, not just screen saver with input.

After working with the Postgres WAL through logical replication in the last few months on a work project. My largest gripe is that some specific behaviors (like how a WAL receiver process should respond to a fast-shutdown on the database ba

I wish postgres would add a durable queue like data structure. But trying to make a durable queue that can scale beyond what a simple redis instance can do starts to run into problems quickly. Also, LISTEN/NOTIFY do not scale, and they

Millions of events per day is still in the small queue category in my book. Postgres LISTEN doesn't scale, and polling on hot databases can suddenly become more difficult, as you're having to throw away tuples regularly. 10 messag

I've personally used one of these before in a performance where you needed individual based tracking, the chips were active UWB radios and sensors were placed and calibrated around the stage, I believe it was < 10cm accuracy and qui

You can get generic finasteride 1mg/180 (6 month) for as low as ~$17 if you go to a Kroger pharmacy and use their preferred savings program (I forget the name off hand) and no insurance coverage. Kroger discontinued their Kroger saving

I recently purchased a M18 trimmer after not using one for years, it still surprises me that when not on the throttle - "off" is truly off, and not the persistent hum of a 2 stroke that is too loud in your left ear. No fumes and n

Anecdotal, but around college campuses (ASU in particular), many people like Waymo because there isn't a creepy driver in the front seat.

Unless their pricing has changed, it’s quite exorbitant when you need a lot of data. To the point that one year of cockroachdb would cost 5x the cost of the server it was running on.

Some banks also do this. I’ve gotten a wad of $2 bills from a local branch of a major bank before.

The internal tools I've used regenerate the code as part of the CI process, and will fail the pipeline if the regenerated code has dirtied the git tree.

While in Iceland I learned from local fisherman who have conflicting thoughts on joining the EU. On one hand it could strengthen relations, but on the other they would not be able to preserve their fisheries from being over fished.

I have been using a TS3+ daily for more than 4 years now without any major issues, there was a firmware update a few years ago but since then it's been very reliable ever since.

Interesting, is there a reason why Postgres wouldn't just apply the shared query planning to INSERT...VALUES as well, it seems like almost a no-brainer to speed up all queries. Or is this more related to how the parser works with the v

From what I remember, the cost per server per year was about 5x to 6x (annually) the hardware cost of a new server, and these were dual 32 core EPYCs. 64 cores per box at per core licensing gets really expensive.

Spanner is cheap in comparison depending on your storage requirements. I've seen CockroachDB quoted as 10x more, and for a product that is harder to sell to stake holders.

The last time I priced out CockroachDB it was more than 10x what multi region SpannerDB would cost.
