Those are all network errors. You wouldn't just catch all errors and treat them the same. An application error should mean the transaction did not complete. Of course none of that …

If you don't need SET LOCAL or different isolation levels in your tests, the fastest by far in my experience is to have a template DB per process (perhaps migrating it once and the…

You can detach from screen/tmux, leave it running in the background, and log back in later to the same screen/tmux like you left it. Except systemd can kill it when you log out, so…

Those ads are supposed to be "Clearly labeled" and "Separate from answers". Now, this is the sort of rock-solid commitment to trust and safety that steadily gets worse every year u…

We sure wouldn't be, if we picked better metaphors.

What kind of fresh hell does the sentence "undercut the professor" come from? Teaching isn't a race to the bottom. You don't undercut teaching by giving more lessons, just like you…

Come on now, you can't also take away my semicolons. What am I supposed to do now; I barely have any punctuation left.

I liked this article about an old recipe book and what cooking could have looked like if we took microwave cooking seriously: https://malmesbury.substack.com/p/my-journey-to-the-mi…

That's ironic, because the "no end" form was already a relatively new idiom. But "to no end" has already overtaken it in terms of popularity. Of course I meant the word "ironic" li…

Right. You won't learn from a computer architecture book or a uarch guide about SSA form, or LICM, or other famous compiler principle like the central role of inlining decisions ("…

You could read compiler books, but I would actually recommend reading about CPUs and computer architecture directly. If you understand how the hardware works, then the optimization…

A flaw in the mirrors wouldn't leave the anomaly in a consistent place, it would keep causing problems no matter where you look. But I'm pretty sure they thought of all of this and…

There is a scale between prise-sensitivity and risk-averseness, from my point of reference large companies are much more risk-averse than they are price sensitive. Of course this w…

>Once Q-Day happens, your only source of security is PQ anyway, so if we're going to do hybrids with today's threat model in mind, PQ+PQ is the way you really want to go I want to …

The large enterprise vendors are not prise-sensitive. They're on AWS because you never get fired for picking AWS, and there isn't really any other choice for these vendors regardle…

Yes, your AI agent is making posts. Please stop.

And notability isn't just for spam, the core difficulty with Wikipedia is that people disagree about what should be written in articles. The site only functions because of a master…

The Satish 2012 study that seems to have started this trend was a small cohort of 22 people split in 6 smaller groups where they also just injected pure CO2 in a small room. There …

Well, it depends. Sometimes in math you do a lot of chipping away at a problem, and eventually a bigger result falls after all the right foundations are built. That seems to descri…

For complex recipe graphs beyond vanilla train routing is also way more efficient. You get to reuse the same rail network, and sometimes not have to route dedicated belts for 6 low…
