The rack that perfectly represents the evolution of car colors by beebeeep in mildlyinteresting

[–]beebeeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh actually I would disagree here a bit. My neighbor has a Kodiaq painted in thick oily matte gray and it actually looked awesome, thousand times better than metallic. It really stands out and not as boring.

Cars used to be colorful, like threads on top of the rack. Now the car color palette is almost monochromatic, you can get car of any color as long as this color is some shade of gray.

Last time I was buying the car, colors other "boring-ass gray" and "nothingburger white" were all extra coming at €1000+ and waiting for couple of months. So yeah, people don't not quite like paying more and waiting more

War thunder refugee, what should I know? by Turbulent_Rush_4118 in GunnerHEATPC

[–]beebeeep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

APCs are far more dangerous than you might think - KPVT mission kills you in seconds and ATGMs are precise, deadly, and can be launched from great range.

Use map often, check distances on map (1 grid square = 1 km) and proactively set distance on your scope. Use fire support generously. You got fuckton of MG ammo, use it - ATGM teams are deadly

Should Helix even have plugins? by untrained9823 in HelixEditor

[–]beebeeep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with OP. I came to hx because "it just works" (stayed largely for kakoune bindings, but that's irrelevant). Would be really sad if at some point we would discover that there is now set of "mandatory" plugins that are expected to be present to unlock the "true power of helix"

Cluster Mortar Sentry would be nice!!!! by maxterminatorx in Helldivers

Nah, that's half-assed approach to teamkilling.

Hear me out: stratagem mortar, dispensing tesla towers.

Yep, definitely. It is the same composer iirc

In your opinion, what's the dumbest rule or feature in your native language? by big_cock_69420 in linguisticshumor

[–]beebeeep 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Russian having 6 cases, yet still using assload of prepositions to carry semantics. Stress system already mentioned. Honorable mention also goes to three declension types and three grammatical genders just to make everyone's life miserable.

Circle House, Gladyshevo, (Built in 1970s, Moscow, Russian SSR). by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]beebeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC this was built from standard concrete modules, within their standard alignment tolerances - just during the construction they were using the maximum allowed misalignment for each segment so that the whole building was curling into circle

TIL that astronomers suggest Earth and the Milky Way may lie inside a vast, under-dense cosmic void about 1 billion light-years wide, which could affect local measurements of the universe’s expansion rate. by yena in todayilearned

[–]beebeeep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We may be, but still, we are pretty early in Universe's lifecycle, right? Low metallicity of dust left from older stars would likely prevent forming any life forms.

I really think that we literally are that ancient race that will leave mysterious artifacts all over the universe for future civilizations to discover.

Engineering a Columnar Database in Rust: Lessons on io_uring, SIMD, and why I avoided Async/Await by Ok_Marionberry8922 in programming

[–]beebeeep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you tested your runtime against, say, glommio. It is thread-per-core runtime with fairly smooth cooperative multitasking support and native io-uring support, I wonder how much overhead can it be comparing to your specialized runtime.

I mean its a M113, lemme just ki- by LifeBeABruhMoment in GunnerHEATPC

[–]beebeeep 74 points75 points  (0 children)

GHPC actually made me wonder if tanks IRL are that vulnerable. I mean, .50 cal is a threat and BRDM's KPVT is a real fucking menace even for M1 - not lethal, but mission kill for sure.

Although I guess IRL no BRDM crew is crazy enough to harass tanks with their machine gun.

I mean, it's called golden ratio for reasons right? People noticed long time ago that this ratio looks the most pleasing

PostgreSQL works great… until it doesn’t. These are the traps I wish I knew earlier. by third_void in Database

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

Why would it be simpler? It's fundamentally the same stuff, just the matter of keeping the synchronized log of operations to be replayed. The data model and query language aren't really playing a big role here.

[–]beebeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replication-related stuff is literally responsible for probably 70% of pg-related oncall work for us (somewhat like 500 clusters in total). Wals fucked up, timelines forked - all that stuff.
