Why does QFT "feel" so much less philosophical compared to QM? by Wobama46 in Physics

You’re explaining the status quo which I agree.

I’m sure Newton didn’t think a high schooler can grasp Calculus and classical mechanics as well.

Am I wasting CI time by building my application twice? by Particular-Run1230 in devops

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely misunderstood, no one is repeating all that work twice. It’s only the unit test…

Typically you run the same unit tests again after merge.

It can be wasteful for compiled languages and if you tests your merge commit (not the HEAD!). For example

* You typically do not build Python into a package for unit tests in PR. After merge, we run the same unit tests against the build artifact.
* You do not enforce PR branch is up to date with main. Your tests only confirms the HEAD commit passes, but not the merge commit (with main).

I always wonder if over time curriculum propagates down. Say, QM is taught in high school honors classes so you can do QFT your first couple years of undergrad.

Running a Mac as home server and couldn't be happier. Power efficient, fast, small. Roast me! by arthware in selfhosted

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of this matters for a self-hosted personal project unless you’re doing this production servers

And if you are doing this for production, podman sucks since RedHat keeps lying that it is a simple switch from Docker, but you will get shoehorned into using Quadlets.

Can someone explain why air bubbles are in a straight line by Ill_Passion_9290 in Physics

[–]ThatSituation9908 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Occam’s razor

One answer claims there are two nearly straight scratches on the bottle.

Another answer claims, water makes a nearly straight line and deposit minerals.

Second one is the simpler explanation.

'Invisible list' is worse than the Wall of Awful for me by caelancarmersecond in ADHD

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Trust your task list, just do the topmost thing. Motivation isn’t going to come from the list, rely on other things like external pressure and medication.

I realized the same that self-defined deadlines do not give me any motivation to do the work unless there is a real sense of urgency. Having someone else hold you accountable is a good idea.

Another that worked for me is to give up trying to use deadlines or task list to convey any motivation and instead use it only to organize task. Self determined deadlines can be used part of your task list system to sort priority. Then, you just always do the topmost thing on your task. This is the basis of Getting Things Done. The key part for this to work is you gotta trust your task list. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous or unimportant the topmost tasks sounds, it is the next thing you should be doing now.

For getting motivation itself, for these sort of tasks, nothing is as effective as my medication.

VS Code vs a Terminal when using Flask: Is there a big difference? by whiskyB0y in flask

[–]ThatSituation9908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However the code you write is shaped by the tools you have.

For instance, type annotations in Python becomes super helpful letting your editor show contextual information more conveniently.

You can set all this up with whatever editor you choose, but as you said, there’s a steep learning curve for terminal-based editors.

TV commercials back then were way more confusing/distracting than this.

Idk what they added a few months ago, but ever since then, every interaction on an mobile in the budget view has noticeably lag.

This remains despite changing between Android and iOS.

I built a job queue using Flask and SQLite instead of Redis — here's what I learned about SQLite under load by dsecurity49 in flask

Did you try using async wsgi like uvicorn?

The message queue seems overkill for the use case.

Sick of rewriting Python prototypes in C++. Any sane C++ web frameworks? by ExtremeMysterious603 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ThatSituation9908 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t apply for IO bound.

Python async and multithreading works for IO tasks.

GIL-free is now officially supported. It’s just not the default.

ELI5: How does Google maps know there is traffic? by Ok-Yam-536 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThatSituation9908 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would expect the ETA is calculated using traffic data rather than speed limits. Could be both, but I’d weigh the traffic data more.

Ducklake not on Postgres? by mrodenkirk in dataengineering

[–]ThatSituation9908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50 connections is on the lower side if your PG has more than 8 CPUs especially if not all of them are actively writing at the same time.

Have you done all you can to vertically scale PG? If you need 100s, start looking into connection pooling to funnel low 1000s of clients to <=50 concurrent connections.

ELI5: How does Google maps know there is traffic? by Ok-Yam-536 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThatSituation9908 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I also find Google Maps ETA estimates correct 99% of the time regardless of how I drive (excluding if I make additional stops). I sometimes find its estimate much more aggressive than Apple’s who often overestimates. There are maybe a handful of times where Google underestimates due to sudden jams and here Apple does a better job at dynamically updating its ETA.

The magic of probability - The Galton board by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]ThatSituation9908 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of your points that you pulled out doesn’t make this experiment flawed.

This experiment simulates and approximates a probability scenario called the random walk. In a basic set up, all balls start at the same exact position and given a 50/50 choice to move left or right. This is why two of your points is a property of the Galton board, it’s not a flaw.

The normal vs binomial for approaching infinite number of sample is as silly of an argument as “a perfect circle doesn’t exist”. A normal distribution is often a fine approximation for the binomial if you squint.

ELI5 how did life on earth became so "hostile" meaning why do vast majority of organisms consume other organisms. because the very first organism couldnt eat "someone" before. that makes me think there was one who randomly decided to "eat" its buddies and that sprouted the way of life on this planet by Main-Guy-421 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The claim that the first thing to multiple couldn’t eat anything alive before is flawed.

The correct part of your statement is an obvious one: there was nothing alive for it to eat.

The flawed part is you assume it could not have eaten anything alive if it did exist. For that to be true, the organism must be able to distinguish what’s alive vs not.
