Ok, got it, thanks. The wording in the comment I was responding to confused me and made me think it was possible to also change the overcommit behavior for a cgroup, not just the l…

Interesting idea. How does that work in practice? If I've got 64GiB RAM, and PostgreSQL has 32GiB memory usage, and Go has 32GiB of memory. If the database requests more memory, it…

I was aware of GOMEMLIMIT, but it didn't cross my mind in this case, thanks for pointing it out. It could be really useful! I'll have to check our specific use case

This has bitten me multiple times. The problem I have is that at work we deploy the application (written in Go) and PostgreSQL on the same machine. The backend app allocates a lot …

Sure. But Occitaine is also incredibly different to Normandie, so it'd be a fairer comparison. Romania and France are different in a way that Oregon and Florida aren't. They have t…

A US state is not a country. I get that there is a lot of federalism in the US and that states often have different laws and regulations, but the same is true for European countrie…

That's fair. Experiences have a great influence on opinions you form, and everyone's experience is different. You live in a different part of the world than I do and know different…

Yeah, but only if you take the arguments fully out of context and only if you view a subset of the arguments. First, the argument of your garden-variety nerd atheist don't always m…

As for the why, I don't have an answer, but I thought I addressed it with this: > I'll admit that there are also groups of Christians that take the bible very literally, as I'm sur…

> Nerds were often seen as poorly social since "logic and reasoning" would go against socially accepted norms. This where the fedora tipping meme comes from: "everybody understands…

The internet was different, for sure. But the post you are responding to just stated that they don't really believe arguments were rational and logical back then. I don't think any…

Is that a good thing? I think getting stuck is an intrinsic part of the learning process and sometimes it's good that there isn't an immediate answer from a senior. For some things…

That's not true. A heat pump produces 1.5 to kwH of heat per kwH of electricity consumed, so it's already much more efficient than a diesel generator. Even in winter, electricity f…

Why not? Could you elaborate? I'd love to know more. I always had the feeling that supporting SteamOS basically meant that generic Linux Desktop support was almost implied because …

I didn't do this, I just stumbled across this on reddit. The building sizes are determined by the number of views in the past 12 months.

Posts like these make me realize I know next to nothing about a lot of the systems I daily work with. It is always humbling to read things like these!

English has present perfect, and past perfect. E.g. "I have walked" and "I had walked", both tenses are participated (ie "walked" instead of "walk"). These two are similar to the G…

Today, I've stumbled across a post [0] on the front page talking about how RAW camera data is processed into an acceptable image. It had a quote that struck with me: Additionally, …

I'm also wondering about that. But maybe this could be it? > Surprisingly, the table is just as big as with the enum type above, even though an enum uses four bytes. The reason is …

That is not true, though. Reading from a nil map panics, and reading from an empty map does not.

I think there's multiple things coming together. I'm in no way arguing to forbid immigration, I'm just pointing out that I don't think Digital Nomads are a net positive and that th…

I feel like either you're really dense or you're misunderstanding me on purpose. It's exactly my point that mist people can't afford to live their because they're being priced out …

Well, that only counts if you see the DN as a net positive. Similar to tourists, a lot of people see DN as a net negative because they spend some money, sure, but they also raise r…

I live in what's not exactly a digital nomad hotspot, but they do come. You pay 150€/month for a coworking space in a city where some people pay 300-400€/month rent. These digital …
