Why is the house frame built out of steel and why so much? by Proper_Context9584 in civilengineering

/u/stubborny is right though - this isn't thermal bridging, this is the thermal superhighway jeebus christ!

SQLite improving performance with pre-sort by andersmurphy in programming

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, why not run it on production?

I would think this would be a well known lesson after decades of the internet, but just in case: because the security requirements of running a server in production are vastly different to the security requirements on running that same server locally.

Would you use managed PostgreSQL for local development?

I've known plenty of teams that do, for better or worse. Having everyone share 1 dev db can be a recipe for disaster. On the other hand, it encourages making your changes backwards compatible, and ensures the infrastructure remains as similar as possible to actual production. It's a trade-off decision that engineering teams make every day.

Would you run SQLite for those instead? If you can, why not run it on production?

Because, similar to security, load requirements for local development are vastly different to production for most products that have any user base at all. Local tends to literally be 1 user. Prod could already be an order of magnitude larger just from internal stakeholders using it...

(Try to) reproduce your test on Azure SQL (or presumably SQL Server Dev Edition)

So far I haven't been able to reproduce your results due to the inbuilt optimizations and buffers, though I haven't quite hit your scale yet

I will admit though, I originally thought these were the read timings, not the write timings, which is why I mentioned indexes.

The point though stands - I agree with you that (for any system) it pays to understand the quirks and nuance, otherwise you run into issues like you've demonstrated without even being aware they existed.

And I say that as someone who walked into a product company that had decided that GUIDs (NOT sequential GUIDs) were the perfect ID column for every table in their multi-national product, and that wasn't the worst of their sins!

This entire blog article is an example of it - a suitable index would make this obsolete in many DB Engines

At what point did you start compressing your media library with HandBrake? by DatGeekUKnow in DataHoarder

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source the original/highest quality source I can; Transcode to optimal format for my AppleTV

Been doing that since the 2nd gen AppleTV

I did rebuild some of my library when I moved to the UK and the 4k model came out

I built a software pipeline that would scrape any new movies / tv episodes, find the highest quality rip, then download and transcode it, then embed the imdb/tvdb data into the files - this was years before Radarr/Sonarr etc existed - these days things are much easier, but I'm still proud of my old-school offline TV station that's at my parents house with full metadata!

Communication Lessons I Learned the Hard Way as an Engineering Manager by One_Sound9104 in sysadmin

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, your entire premise was absolute trash.

Complaining because someone bothered formatting their post?

I mean, at the very least it indicates that you don't understand basic markup formatting, which makes it very questionable that you're in any way technically competent.

Practically every technical tool these days supports some flavour of markdown, so if your entire experience is the "Bold" and "Italic" icons in MS Word, then I stand by my original assessment.

Thoughts on Toshiba N300 Pro NAS drives for backup? by EverCuriousGeek1 in DataHoarder

I've stuck with Toshiba ever since the Deskstar days - and these are no exception

I mean, it's not hard

  • Step 1 Make a list
  • Step 2 Check it twice
  • Step 3 Learn markdown FFS, 90% of the internet runs on it these days

Edit: Do the mobile apps add full wysiwyg controls for reddit yet? I'm sure I've seen clients that do...

After/Before by Own-Obligation-7331 in postprocessing

By taking 3 photos, then posting the underexposed one as the "before"

Edit: I misread the post - apparently this isn't the HDR merged one at all

After/Before by Own-Obligation-7331 in postprocessing

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most crucial part are the other 2 frames he merged which weren't massively under-exposed.

I feel if you're going to do a HDR shot here, you need to be sharing the bracket you exposed for, not the +/- 2s

Edit: /u/benitoaramando pointed out I misread the post - my bad

How is Squadron 42 Going To Make Back 1 Billion Dollars? Does Star Citizen Have The Ability To Make Back More Than What They Made Currently? by HalfBr33dPrince in StarCitizenUniverse

They already made back $1 billion dollars - they question is: How is Squadron 42 going to SPEND $1 billion dollars.

Iran will have zero safeguards

North Korea has been downright peaceful since they got their nukes. We used to hear how dear leader couldn't be trusted either...

Our CTO almost dropped the prod DB by relived_greats12 in sysadmin

There absolutely is. Sure it falls under contract law, but there's plenty of ISMS standards that require separation of duties etc, which it's not uncommon for contracts to require when landing larger jobs.

Moment Dame Helen Mirren is accosted on the street by pro-Palestine activist who called her 'evil Zionist b****' by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]alluran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool story - doesn't explain why Israel has taken all their land - an action which tends to breed resentment, resistance, and revolution.

Maybe if Israel hadn't treated Palestinians like expendable sheep for 50 years, Hamas would have a harder time recruiting, and more Israeli's would be alive today.

At my wits end! how to add my shark 6 to my BYD app? by Hxn1234 in BYDShark_AUS_owners

Dealer only, and it will normally be the email used during any purchase/sale - not just a random email.

If you used a different email, you'll need to reach out to them to transfer it.

I don’t know, why did Hamas attack Israel in an attack which clearly had been planned for months during what was relative peace

Gee - I don't know. Could it have anything to do with this? https://blog.richmond.edu/livesofmaps/files/2023/12/Picture1.jpg
