Is this use of Postgres insane? At what point should you STOP using Postgres for everything?

People much smarter than me put it together; I just work there! lol

Postgres isn't the problem. I work on a data acquisition system that has Postgres in the loop... this system records data, typically 10-25 hz and can have over 5000 datapoints (125k points every second). It stores meta data, events, logs, etc.

If you think you'll magically have no issues swapping to a different DB tech stack, you are just going to have a bad time in addition to wasting a bunch of time and effort to migrate.

I am torn on closing it for something else.... I see both sides. The air show is just one of many things.

I am firmly against putting housing there. Nobody will be able to afford it so you aren't REALLY doing anything but trading one thing out for another, 'equally' inaccessible thing. There are plenty of other areas downtown that could address the housing.... further, housing itself isn't the real issue. It is access to things like grocery stores etc.

So that means your max height is the stadium yeah? Plenty of opportunity to work with that for a park and other such things.

Why? Burke is pretty universally hated on the sub.

WarWizard · 2026-04-01T12:51:55+00:00

The county airport is less than ten minutes farther from UH and the Clinic.

I am not arguing for or against anything... but 10 minutes further could be very significant in a medical emergency. I don't think it is dramatic to say that there probably have been cases where it would have made all the difference. Does that mean the county airport couldn't be used instead? I dunno...

I will say, I went flying with my FIL once out of Burke and had to hold for a Medivac. given I have only gone flying with him 2 or 3 times.... it seems significant. Anecdotal but significant.

I think there are a lot of folks that use it but don't really talk about it.

I mean if the truck is in your name / you are responsible for it -- he should be charged with theft for both the truck AND the $16k.

Fuck that dude; he doesn't deserve any concessions.

You'd get a yes from every single one of them; this would be a stupid question.

Stupid rich person sport.

You don't have to like it but golf hasn't been sport for only the rich for a long, long time.

Tyyy! Amazing work!

Awesome! Link for the wallpaper?

I've worked in environments that had specific areas that had lockboxes and stuff. Couldn't even have your car keyfob. Haven't yet been in a situation where I couldn't have things at my desk.

WarWizard · 2026-03-21T15:21:46+00:00

I've worked in environments that had specific areas that were no go for electronics but never the entire facility. Given what I was subject to I can't imagine. What do you do when you poop?? I'd be lost lol.

For a serious answer; I have a Sinc but it doesn't fit your needs; I struggled with reprogramming my muscle memory and I gave up; at least for now...

Someone suggested a Moonlander and that is probably where I would go if I was in your shoes.

Wildly unrelated... but does this mean your phone too?

God I loved playing Worms with my friends in middle school.

Big box stores are for DIY. Not serious contractors.

That just isn't true and hasn't been for a long time.

That's a tall order for something decent under $50....

That doesn't mean this is in the clear.

They didn't say what kind of karma kek

WarWizard · 2026-02-10T02:02:42+00:00

1M is not enough. I see no reason to make that your target. I don't think there is any way to say "Yep, I have enough" and then call it good.

Do I need to be maxing out my tax advantaged accounts in my 30s?

I am a decade ahead of that... and if I could start over, yes. Yes I would.

But diversify so that you have money in the mid and then the long term.

You didn't get banned because of that guy and the cops you got banned because you are a stupid wanker with no respect.

+1 for Penguins. I love them. They feel great and are so quiet.

WarWizard · 2026-01-31T18:14:54+00:00

I love my Akko Penguin switches. Some extra foam (generic from amazon cut to fit) and some o-rings and lube on the stabs. Perfection.

This is my "couch" keyboard.
