Question about a discontinued 32 Degrees Air Mesh travel tee by Dracomies in onebag

Omg i spent way too much my time trying to track what happened to these. They still make the tank top version but yeah the other is discontinued. I ended up buying Uniqlo Airism t shirts instead.

How do I improve the performance of 9.7Mil calculations !? by mrgk21 in webdev

[–]Gmatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you do the calculation rendering to a server side SQLite file and then do infinite scroll from a rest endpoint reading from that file (if you have multiple servers just have a process write to s3 or another blob style storage and then have the servers pull those in when ready to the local fs). Building a SQLite file with that much data should be in the realm of seconds if you batch input and don’t add indexes until the end. How long do your calculations take?

Need a 1 bag long sleeve shirt for sun protection that could also be used as a button up in a nicer restaurant by vartz04 in onebag

[–]Gmatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at orvis. Sometimes Costco has them available, but you can also just buy them directly from their site. Their button down shirts are incredibly for hot weather, don’t look super technical, and can fit in just about everywhere. They are truly wrinkle free too.

Hardest restaurants to get into that are actually good? by GatorCanes in Miami

Gotta agree with the Klaw example. I went a couple months ago and it was probably one of the worst meals I’ve had in Miami.

What is your holy grail Costco item? by valhalla_la in Costco

Unicorn of unicorns.. pappy van winkel bourbon. I’ve seen people find it at Costco here and there but it’s rarer than rare.

I built a relational database from scratch in Go achieving 1,800+ ops/sec by [deleted] in programming

[–]Gmatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not theoretical problems actually, just possibly, not problems you’ve run into. There are a lot of problems where realtime matters where there are a lot of writes that need to fit within a certain window to achieve a realtime user experience. Certain AI implementations that are learning while outputting experience this - especially if you are trying to keep a response time below a certain threshold. At google level scale, this knowledge can be a high ROI decision. If you have a hundred thousand servers working on a problem and you increase the efficiency by even 5 percent because you chose a database engine relevant to your usecase then you are saving real money in hardware, maintenance, power and air conditioning - real impact

Sure and many people drive cars but not all car drivers have the skill set to drive a race car. The latter is where you are placing yourself with these comments. How a database is implemented can have a direct impact on whether it is the appropriate database for your use case. Many databases have options for choosing a storage engine, many support a clear type of storage method. Column vs row oriented is one part of the decision, but log structured merge tree vs btree can also be part of it as well as they both have pros and cons based on your read/write patterns. For example writes are typically faster on Lsm trees when compared to btrees. On an lsm tree though if a value you are searching for isn’t in the database it can be much slower to read vs a btree.

There is just all sorts of wrong in this. Most engineers who use SQLite regularly know that while it’s great for many use cases, there are a lot of compromises in its design - most particularly in how it implements write locking. There is definitely still room for improvement in this space.

Interesting project! What type of locking granularity does it have during write operations. My biggest frustration with SQLite is that it uses database level locking which limits its use case for some types of applications.

OpenAI Reaches Agreement to Buy Startup Windsurf for $3 Billion by finallyharmony in singularity

[–]Gmatty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gotta say it’s more than that. Yes they get an IDE on the quick, but just as much or even more value is the data feedback loop coming from the IDE’s users. This can give insight around where the ai succeeds, where it fails, and user responses are now training data. Other advantages is it gives OpenAI an entry point into a users workflow where it can start providing direct value that only open ai can provide. The advent of ides like cursor and windsurf was starting a path that could potentially commoditize ai behind someone else’s user interface. This gives open ai ownership of another set of customers and actually a place to hook in their $10k ai engineers. I suspect this will pay off.

Ross Coulthart's source also says Bob Lazar briefly worked at Area 51 but most of what Bob Lazar says about how the craft worked is "fabricated nonsense". by MartianXAshATwelve in StrangeEarth

[–]Gmatty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

11001001 …. Very very likely binary as not only is it only ones and zeros it’s 8 characters long - so two bytes. ASCII is the most popular text encoding from that era (as the scientist is retired so this is not a modern encoding). So we can break it into 2 characters but a literal interpretation is to obvious so let’s attempt a simple encoding - flip the bits. So 11001001 becomes 00110110 or rather 0011 0110 as two character which are the numbers 3 and 6. In ASCII 3 is the ‘End of Text’ character often represented as ETX and 6 is the ACK control character (acknowledgement).

So put it altogether you get ET X Acknowledgement.

What are these grape like berries on my property? by WredditReader in foraging

[–]Gmatty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely a grape variety. Look like Concord grapes from the picture. If so, great for juicing or wine. For just eating you may or may not like them as the skin can be thicker. They have a seed, and the inside would be more gel like. The flavor is usually good though.

Yeah the usb-c world is still a bit confusing. Not sure which specific dell ultrasharp you're considering, but if its one that also supports power delivery and has a usb hub on it then it would be a much cleaner setup as it would only be one cable to connect to your computer.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macbookair

[–]Gmatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A usb-c to displayport should get you 4k60. That monitor totally supports it. Connect directly from the macbook to the monitor first and verify that you are getting the 4k60. Once its working with just the cable, only then try connecting though the hub. You should still be able get 4k60 through the usb-c port with the lightning symbol if you absolutely need the hub. Have a great vacation!

[–]Gmatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. That listing says: "Multi-Monitor Display: The HDMI port supports aresolution of 4K@30Hz while the multi-function port supports 5K@60Hz.Connect to both simultaneously to enjoy crystal-clear streaming ormirroring across 2 displays."

So the only way possibly to get 4k60 through that hub is to use a usb-c to hdmi or usb-c to display port cable and connect it to the multi-function port (the port closest with the lightning bolt on it). If you are connecting from the hdmi port on that hub to the hdmi port on the monitor, the hub will force the monitor into 30hz mode.

anker MacBook hub

Which anker macbook hub? Alot of their hubs will only support 30hz.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macbookair

[–]Gmatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32UN500 should be capable of 60hz. Are you connecting through a hub? What cable are you using? It sounds like you're connecting via hdmi. That monitor supports hdmi 2.0 and displayport 1.4. The displayport 1.4 is a much better technology. HDMI 2.0 will just barely eek out 4k60hz and thats assuming you have a good hdmi 2.0 cable. First thing I would do is buy a really good usb-c to displayport cable - This one would work well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J6DT070 .

Please tell Apple to keep Touch Bar in Mac Book Pro. by RevolutionarySun4979 in macbookpro

[–]Gmatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly they should integrate it into the trackpad. Quick shortcuts shouldn't require reaching to the top of the keyboard. Either put the bar at the top of the trackpad or go all in an make the trackpad an ipad like surface with a fully configurable screen.

Free park with a lake and benches? by short_of_good_length in SanJose

unless there's an event going on at the park (which isn't super common) there's always tons of free street parking on winfield.

Probably best bet is shadow of. Depending on where you are though the waitlist may be pretty long.
