not to mention that gp editor is disabled on non pro windows. i think there is some kind of a funky command line or registry hack to enable it. So yeah, I moved on from windows largely because of this force fed software.
But it sounds like in Italy you entered the coffee shop to drink coffee and socialize - which fulfills the mission of a coffee shop. However, I noticed that in post-pandemic Poland and the USA where i spend a lot of…
I'm dealing with a very large partitioned table (several millions of inserts per day) and i solve this by running `vacuum analyze` nightly which somehow solved 99% our read issues Prior to that, we tried various…

that is my point - in order to stay up, the bird would need to either flap its wings for 700 miles non-stop (unlikely) in order to maintain velocity difference between it and the ambient air OR glide which basically…
ok, if the bird's natural speed is that of the ambient air, then how does it stay up? the bird is not lighter than air, so where does the upwards pressure on the bird come from? either the bird must flap its wings to…
in my experience, when it comes to picking two out of: quality, cost, or speed to delivery, businesses always choose speed and cost. I dont' like it, but I just grew to accept that. The reason why physical engineering…

I use it as a personal tutor. It is really good at it, because it can respond to clarifying follow up questions and it is usually right. For pure development or peer review, it is not there yet. I asked it recently to…
i tried, but I was immediately put off by the inability to search for an exact string. To me, that makes a search engine useless. Am i missing something? I tried using quotes etc, but the results always force up…
In Boston it is illegal. Plumbing as well. I tried to hire a plumber and electrician to do simple bathroom rewire and could not find a willing contractor - job too small. "Call us in a couple of months, maybe we will…
My problem with the article is that it builds something of a straw man "conspiracy theorist" to battle against, instead of looking at the actual problem: "The plan will require local residents to apply for permits to…
i agree. I think this is analogous to flying a modern airliner. After all, anyone can set the autopilot. Easy, right? Easy until a situation arises where manual flying or human intervention is required. That is when…

I really hope that this will happen, but I'm skeptical. The push to cluster around big cities is still accelerating and land scarcity around big metro areas is what is driving out affordability. Utilities connection…
