you can also flip these keyboard shortcuts around, which I did for the cmd-shift-4, as I almost always want it to the clipboard without persisting as a file

Wasn't this a MacBook feature at one point? That behavior sounds quite familiar to me.

Berlin is also super unevenly populated and includes several forests. If you compare the density of the actually populated areas, like Mitte, you are still under Manhattan, sure, but only by a factor of 4 - which is extra impressive given the near complete lack of tall buildings in Berlin. Neukölln (which borders the area in question) is even more dense - about half as much as Manhattan [1].

Its unfair to compare Manhattan which apart from Central Park is nearly 100% urban to Berlin, which is significantly larger and includes many areas with widely distanced houses and forests.

I'm the OP of the DBA StackExchange post, and while yes, it does technically work in this case, you do lose some abilities. For one, its much harder to `count(*)` rows with `DISTINCT`. Also, `DISTINCT` uses a totally different mode in planning that requires first retrieving all the rows and then finally filtering them. This is _much_ slower and generally not very fun to deal with!

L4 and L5 are stable (see Jupiter's asteroid collection), but the others involve essentially trying to balance on a infinitesimal pinpoint, with any perturbation causing one to "fall off" and move away.

Sure, but automating this requires a lot more tooling. In the case described with multiple, widely spread instances, you'll need to be able to

a) Reliably determine which step you are on - this includes both migration steps and application deployments b) Fully automate your deployments from a list of staged code changes ("normal" CD will have issue with this) c) Fully automate migrations _after_ all deployments are complete

Those are all totally possible steps, but they are all going to vary based on your setup, making a drop in solution for this process unlikely to be easy.

Additionally, these are only the steps if everything works! What happens if there's a bug halfway through? You probably want to stop the deployment process and either revert or quickly hotfix. A human-based system can handle this quite easily, but an automated system will need to be able to measure errors and reliably determine if an issue exists.

So its not that this can't be automated, in fact, I know that it has for several large organizations, but the hurdle to get to the full level of automation is rather high and fraught with secondary issues to consider.

The sticky part is the social network effect. Its by FAR the dominant messaging app in much/most of Europe. Some switch to Signal/others has occurred... but if you have _one_ friend who doesn't switch that you want to continue to communicate with... you're stuck too.

Not to mention, the alternatives aren't great. I'm sure others will provide a better breakdown, but at a high level:

- Signal is the best alternative but missing features like crazy that really do matter to "normal" people (can't change your phone number! Stickers only can be added from the desktop app)

- Telegram a) has a poor reputation in my greater social circle b) doesn't actually encrypt by default

- Matrix is simply not accessible to anyone who isn't highly computer literate

It probably does actually mean "File Transfer Protocol". Its not uncommon (or wasn't at least) to find workflows that rely on data files of a specific format (to varying degrees) being FTP'd into the right server and then processed by that server.

For example, I found this [1] randomly while googling.

I'm curious to see how this compares in real life to TimescaleDB hypertables with compression - which to me, reads as much the same thing. I'm wondering if Citus is bringing a lower level implementation of idea possibly?

Not defending/attacking the phrase "disastrously bad", but I'm not sure its a fair argument to say "the docs explain it", if the behavior isn't what a "reasonable" person would expect. Writing software that deletes your files (when you expect, say, the weather report) isn't excused if they write in the docs "oh this weather software randomly deletes files for no reason".

In this specific case though, even those docs do not explain what happens if the value is "invalid"!

Did the toolchain you were working on support both GCC and Clang? I ask because I was recently trying to work on a ESP32 project in vim and got stuck hard on YouCompleteMe only using a clangd-based completer while the project was only compileable with a GCC-based toolchain, leading to annoying things like headers not being found due to things like `#if GCC...` (or the like), and also not all cli switches matching up.

Any tips on getting completion working in vim for GCC-only CXX projects is highly appreciated...

I was under the impression from reading the patch comments [1] that it was more of an issue with them not having an open copy of their ISA documentation (which then is causing a lack of possible reviewers)

Usually acetone doesn't work so well on the PLA the author is printing the keycaps in. There are other sprays or things you can apply to PLA for a good effect though - I'm betting any of the things used to make PLA food-safe would work here.

No, not really. Filtering out atmosphere isn't that hard for some (most?) spectra that we care about. The benefits of a bigger mirror are more about resolution than signal quality. There are physical limits to the size of a distant object under observation that can't be replicated just by more/cleaner observation time.

If this strategy works to encourage people to accidentally consume fewer calories, isn't that good enough? I don't think this was about the mechanism about the weight loss, but merely that the behavior pattern ended up encouraging it.

Rocket Lab uses an engine that is mostly made by 3d printing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine) (Not as one piece though)

Personally, I've had a varied experience here. In one company, I explained my moral objection to this agreements and ended up getting in writing that it would not be enforced from the CEO/Owner of the company. That email and the fact that the scope was fairly tight (as opposed to this article) made me feel comfortable signing it.

In a second case, I was actually able to negotiate it away. I ended up not taking that job for other reasons, but before that decision was made, they had retracted the need for it.

Anecdotal, but maybe useful.

We call people with orange hair "redheads" so, I don't think this is that different

In regards to billing, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a combination of strict regulations/registrations about efficiency and then semi-simple toll roads. If you know how much a given truck consumes and the distance it travels, that might be close enough math to not need more detail. I could also see a potential factor of registered load mass having an effect too, but that should be possible to include.

Germany also already has high electricity prices compared to a lot of the world, but I doubt this would be a rapidly adopted thing that is going to cause a massive price spike

Until a build process starts naming things with timestamps, locales, etc. Just because the build is "source code only" doesn't mean it is deterministic.

That is a risk, but not an uncommon one. There are a dozen other workflows that rely on users installing CAs, maybe not quite w/o root, but all the same, installed, so this isn't a new idea.

Also, it seems to me that virtually any way to get those keys involve hostile code running on your machine, meaning you're already toast.

I do also wish it didn't install certs as non-root, but as pointed out in another comment, there is a workaround for that.

I mean, it is additional work. Not only do you need to store the emails/passwords securely, which while it isn't _that_ hard, it is a needed consideration, but you also need to now:

- provide a password reset service

- find a way to send emails to this many people for low cost, it is a free service after all, so all of the confirmation/reset emails are an additional cost

- etc

You're not the only one to think of this! Here's an article about a patent they claimed earlier this year:

Probably not, due to the low fidelity of any data from this. "real" particle detectors can trace the decay chain, momentum changes, precise energy levels, etc. Processor cache flips etc can only say "a particle with energy >= X was here", which isn't super useful given the relative frequency of occurrence.

These questions are often required to be answered and some places, like vanguard, use them as a form of 2fa. Additionally, it's possible for the bank to reset passwords for some reason (hack, error, etc) and still keep these around. The point is no longer account recovery, that's correct, but it does buy you a lot of things.

There is such a limit to areal density. The math involved dives into entropy and the planck length, but the short answer is that any information at a quantum level must be quantized in some form and the smallest possible quantization is the planck length squared, called the "planck area".
