In case someone is looking for a proper way of making db copy in PostgreSQL and not SQLLite, pg_basebackup is the proper way: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgbasebackup.htm...

In my experience, no matter how many panels you install, Solar can cover power consumption 30-40% of its max capacity. Winter, night, bad weather will eat the rest. To go beyond the 30-40% you will need energy store or alternative sources.

This is still great but not a 100% solution.

I did the same, the opposite direction. If you are interested, there is a whole community of people that do this called Crazy Guy on a Bike.

Also "Battery storage is the next act [...]". There is no way they went "Full Clean Energy" without battery storage.

Sounds more like op-ed piece than actual facts.

Fair enough!

BTW, I do not know why you are getting downvoted, this is a real concern that someone needs to tackle one day.

That was always my feeling - however big Wikipedia is, however many requests it handles, it is not big enough to warrant burning so many millions every year. Alas, I never studied the subject, as overall I feel Wikipedia is good force in the Universe.

So perhaps price comes with the greatness?

With WPW you MUST NOT take beta blockers (AFAIR), it may kill you.

I had just plain vanilla Afib and got ablation 2 years ago - best thing ever, cured instantly.

It means if you were a shareholder of Wiz, you will have cash in your checking/savings account within few days and you will no longer have the shares.

So it begins.

There are uses where gRPC shines. Streaming is one of them - you can transparently send a stream of messages in one "connection". For simple CRUD service, REST is more than enough indeed.

There is also RAAM, but across the country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Across_America

The bar screws up printing usually.

Up to a point and then you start feeling getting older. I started noticing while approaching 50. I can no longer push as much as I used to. I need to take breaks. Etc.

Same thought here. With a lot of production sites this approach makes sense, but with few it does look like overkill.

Downloading the big ones is so slow even over a semi-decent connection, it feels like getting certain lowres images in 1995 over a modem :-) What a blast from the past!

Scaling laws are not dead. The number of people predicting death of Moore's law doubles every two years.

It's like asking baby to unlearn something "bad" it learned. Pretty much guaranteed the knowledge will be reinforced rather than forgotten.

Whenever I hear about AI craze, I remind myself of the 3D printers craze from 10-15 years ago. "Death blow to factories", "We will print our own cars", "We will print our own food". I imagine LLM AI will follow the same fate - yes, but not really.

Can't the charitable groups that post bonds re-work themselves as bail bonds companies? Or work together to create one and work through it?

Yes, the regulation is broken, but perhaps there is a way out...

A lot of comments amount to: "Internet is dead". AI is crap for sure but far from making Internet dead or useless. Consider: - emails, - bills and payments, - banking, - searching for and buying stuff (assuming you already know what you want that is), - calls/chats - whatsapp, messenger, etc. - youtube (for learning), - social stuff - however bad.

AI? This shall pass too. Internet will find its way.

I'm one of the lucky ones that do not tolerate alcohol at all. Give me 2 beers and I will be hangover next day. Congrats on stopping!

You are correct, async-io is cooperative. This seems an attempt to enhance these async-io cooperative threads work more like goroutines in golang. Golang can start threads if it "thinks" the workload needs more CPU.

Friend of mine is in business of storing natural gas in salt caverns (https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/storage/basics/). They do scan these by dropping a sonar in a drilled shaft, but this approach has limitations. Using a moving scanning airship might be helpful.

This paper explains why this is (and likely will be for some time) the case: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5

But but but.... the mined ones have SOUL!

Diamonds are such a racket! Forever!

PostgreSQL lets you write queries straight in C. It is not bad. Definitely easier than straight libpq: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ecpg.html

Example C code (requires ECPG pre-compilation step):

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int v1; VARCHAR v2; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

...

EXEC SQL DECLARE foo CURSOR FOR SELECT a, b FROM test;

...

do { ... EXEC SQL FETCH NEXT FROM foo INTO :v1, :v2; ... } while (...);

Reading the description I immediately knew what will be under the links. Nice reference!

Concurrent index creation or re-indexing is not all magic. It does scan the table multiple times and might lead to deadlocks if the table is heavily modified.

Furthermore, failed concurrent index or re-index will leave invalid cursors behind that are not usable but incur the update costs. Of course, they consume the disk space.

Use with caution.

You mean this one? Nope, still a cluster.

Been there, done that. In my case, I symlinked myself out of this mess rather than modify ELF.
