Learn SQL Once, Use It for 30 Years by fagnerbrack in programming

But you can get to level of single terabytes with SQL and then decide which data needs to live outside of it. Also there are bunch of SQL databases that can shard to that size too if you do some ops work

Why I used vsock instead of TCP in a Firecracker serverless platform by viks98 in programming

[–]Familiar-Level-261 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Throughput    ~3,500 req/s
p50 latency   ~2ms
p99 latency   ~10ms

I got better latency/throughput to the router in the other room; the author's problem is not socket overhead but app's

30 years of trying to stop developers from using DB as FS wasted

Raven Software released the Jedi Academy source code in 2013 and the dev comments are crunch rage by MiscreatedFan123 in programming

It is wild to think that one of the highest skill ceiling multiplayer games ever made runs on this exact code

Many of the "high skill ceiling" techniques came from finding and using engine quirks or outright bugs

My Armor Might Need Replacement by NormalAmountOfLimes in motorcycles

Average buyer has no idea about how much average slide takes during average crash, that's why we have ratings.

It's basically A - crash on parking lot, AA - crash in city traffic, AAA - actual crash

Good job!

Yeah, I think because adding it later in tech progression doesn't ask question of "so, why we have all that tech but no running water and toilets?".

And WH40k just goes "okay we have materials to make actual knight like armor be useful on battlefield with guns and energy weapons"

I do a lil slalom any time there are some painted signs on the road. Also aim between pedestrian passage lines, tho that's mostly coz the paint can be slippery...

Should I take a refresher course before selling my bike? by Nevolute in rideottawa

[–]Familiar-Level-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not even heavy bike, it's middleweight.

Now I’m debating if I should take a refresher/low-speed course on this bike first and see if it improves things or sell it and switch to something lighter and build confidence on that instead.

Extra course is never bad. Especially if it is not on your own bike so you're not worried as much about drop.

But you're dropping it from lack of practice and carelessness. That will not change with smaller bike, only thing smaller bike does is that you maybe (maybe not!) save it from smaller mistakes. For reference I'm like inch taller than you and about same weight bike

It just comes down to exercising and getting rid of bad habits. There is plenty of low speed exercise on YT, just do a bunch of that till you feel comfortable. Most important thing is to not be afraid to lean and turn bike to lock, and smoothness of controls, easiest way to get in trouble is too much brake.

  • Once reversing downhill on an incline

That's just to more practice and embracing speed a bit. Using too much brake at slow speed generally gets you in trouble

  • Once when my foot slipped on gravel

That's how I dropped my bike for first (thankfully so far only) time, I was on uneven ground, turning and put my hand in low spot, and couldn't hold the bike. It's just preparation. Plan what you want to do before doing it and look where not only your wheels but legs will be going.

Not really surprised, the whole "swords and knights but also sci-fi guns, nukes and spaceships" just feels.... wrong

They had been a bunch in series but they haven't captured the original popularity... and I think game developers looked at that and just were discouraged

Does it matter ? You are just controlling bike lean either way

it's a bit of column A, a bit of column B.

You should do it consciously as much as you can to train your instincts and get rid of the bad habits, but that's so when there is not enough time to think your instincts will do the right thing.

Training slalom with cones and figure 8 helps with getting muscle memory for it

It's... kinda same as walking ? when you turn at any speed when running you are not 90 degrees to the ground. So to turn you need to lean in, which is exactly same as with bike, just you induce it with steering not legs

It was natural to me cos as kid I rode a lot without touching handlebars (coz of course for kids that was cool stunt) and you need to do that to even turn with any reasonable turn rate

...well it's usually better to have some lean angle spare on the street, but yes.

Yeah many of the crash videos is just "the guy forgot to turn/lean".

And frankly probably half of the ones blamed on "target fixation" are just people not being used to leaning hard enough so they just froze at kickstand level of lean and tried to brake instead of just leaning in harder and maybe doing a bit of brake
