    Used this for some knowledge graph visualization work. Really clean UI and some nice features out of box for interactivity

    Yes that is common. I was more talking about the case where someone perhaps introduces a bug causing a nil pointer dereference on some requests, so the panic is not explicitly call…

    I think a good usecase for recover is in gRPC services for example. One wouldn't want to kill the entire service if some path gets hit leading to a panic while handling one request…

    Graph DBs are generalized relationship stores. SQL can work for querying graphs, but graph DB DSLs like Cypher become very powerful when you're trying to match across multiple rela…

    yes there's that idiosyncrasy, as well as client ideally needing to read the previous clock from the DB before writing an update for that key unless it's ok with the write being vi…

    Vector clocks are very cool. Having read through how they were initially used in Riak, I was blown away that such an implementation could scale. I guess this is why Cassandra took …

    Not sure if ClickHouse needs ZK but FWIW Kafka has a raft implementation which now obviates need for ZK

    Wasn't Madoff's plan the whole time to pocket investor money for himself, whereas Sam's was to arrogantly (and illegally) gamble it with the thought being he could return the princ…

    I have IBD and definitely believe there is an association. But it still goes back to my question about "is there a safe limit". I think in particular for IBD, IBS, Crohn's etc, my …

    A concern I've had with past studies has been the dosage of processed foods. It's better to avoid them altogether, but I haven't seen many seeking to find limits on how one can saf…

    Given the full fingerprint reconstruction rates, it would likely be a while until the tech is reliable enough to do that, if ever.

    The Vision Pro is hardly differentiated from the top end Meta VR model. There are a few UX enhancements, and I think they'll take the lead in the space eventually. But I wouldn't s…

    The idea is fine, but the inevitable outcome here is that Apple and Google do the same thing in their respective smartphones and this device (if it's even good at all) is obviated.…

    Probably because gym density isn't super high in some areas, so consumers may not have a ton of choices. And opening a gym that can compete with a big gym chain is not as easy as o…

    OMAD it will always be pretty hard to eat a lot. But, for slightly more accommodating feeding windows, people can still eat plenty especially if they have higher density foods

    It's not, but the title is extremely misleading. You MUST be in a calorie deficit to lose weight. What the study shows is that simply by doing intermittent fasting, people naturall…

    Could you share what function you plotted? A very simple z = x^2 + y^2 worked fine so I'm curious where its limits are

    Can you explain why that is the case? I would have thought that the large amounts of immigration from many places to countries like the U.S. would lead to greater genetic diversity…

    The email from Sam's dad to Sam whining about his 200k salary was disturbing. It's no surprise that Sam ended up the way he did

    A little off topic, but may be beneficial to uppercase all of "Aids" to "AIDS" to avoid ambiguity

    I don't have a problem with children not learning cursive, but the idea that one couldn't interpret the J&J logo is pretty absurd. It's a very intelligible script.

    Depending on how much of their usage is driven by the free public ChatGPT version, I wouldn't be surprised if they could close the loss gap if they switched to paid only. I believe…
