Exactly, I think a university degree used to be a good proxy for IQ. But like every metric it becomes becomes bastardized in the end.
I'm not sure I agree. If more people have a university degree, then it's no longer than differentiator that it used to be. To obtain this degree, you have to take on a substantial student loan in the States from what I…
These results are to be expected, if IQ is normally distributed, but we push more people into obtaining university degrees. The value of a university degree has severely deteriorated since every white collar job…
Is it just me or has Mozilla been taken over by grifters?
Why do you think rewriting it in Rust would improve its reliability?
I've used pganalyze which is a non-free SaaS tool. Gives you a very good overview of where the DB time is spent with index suggestions etc. There are free alternatives, but require more work from you.
Agree wholeheartedly with the conclusion of the article. But the post makes it seem that there was no real query-level monitoring for the Postgres instance in place, other than perhaps the basic CPU/memory ones provided…
Ironically a better example of this would your own claim that focuses solely on the crimes of Nazism without any mention of Communist crimes. Since USSR was on the Allied side, Communism never quite turned into the…
s/Russia/Soviet Union/g. The huge role of Soviet Union was pushed by the Soviet Union as part of its Great Patriotic War narrative is continued to this day by Russia's propaganda. Without the US Lend-Lease, the…
yes, this is exactly the way it is. most people are perfectly fine with throwing their ideals out of the window if they were applicable to people they don't like.
Perhaps it was run by some introverted developer-types? Or there were some cultural differences at play? The reaction seems a bit excessive and I'm not sure if it characterizes the company as a whole.
To people who hate running, run slower! Most people who hate running are conditioned to go way too fast. Once you build up a base, then you can speed things up. There is little enjoyment if you are constantly…
I've come to the conclusion that such inept statements can only come from people who have lived their lives in very safe environments where they have never needed police protection. Such environments do not represent…
While there is certainly more complexity in modern software, it does not necessarily need to translate to increased memory, CPU usage and increased latency for the user. Are you saying that this increase in software…
No, it's the other way around. Advances in computer hardware have allowed the use more inefficient programming languages allowing more inexperienced and unskilled programmers to create programs leading to more resource…
Reading is good, but often gives us a illusory perception of understanding, but things tend to stick even better when you experiment with them.
Looking to try out Kubernetes, will definitely give this a try. Although the article starts with kind of a strawman (Kubernetes is robust section): you could do most of those with Docker (and compose) or with a…
It's funny that the downvoters haven't really come up with a valid argument why Bitcoin is not a valid use case for this. It's much more difficult to prove that person A transferred money to B via Bitcoin than it is via…
It's more of an economics issue. It does not make sense to optimize, because bandwidth and CPU power are so abundant. Optimizing will take time away from adding new features.
Could you elaborate on how you fixed your tooth?
This a perfectly bad example, because your example makes the reader's intuition pump in a certain way. Consider the alternative story where Mark is a wife beater. Would still come to the same conclusion? Or does it say…
I think communism is pretty well defined, in its ultimate form its the abolition of private property. This is in strict opposition to capitalism.
The blockchain hype is crazy. My favorite truism that I see people spouting is that Bitcoin (or cryptocurrencies are) is worthless, but blockchain is a huge innovation. Little do these people understand that the true…
What would you consider as the alternative? People are so used to getting news and various services "for free", it's very difficult to get them to pay for it.
This is because this information is celebrated as proof that there was in fact "no vulnerability in IOTA and it was all FUD" by Reddit (and possibly elsewhere)…
