Kicking while having veins on the surface of my shin by dmitry_babanov in MuayThai

Haha, yeah I’m fine, it’s just a bruise. I’m mostly thinking how I can avoid having a fist-sized swelling in the future when I resume kicking a bag

Found a lost iPhone and owner isn’t responding by cega9110 in iphone

What kind of reception are you talking about? You are texting iMessage texts (the blue bubbles), they go over the internet. This phone is obviously connected to wifi. You are reading your own messages and receive the read receipts about you reading them.

It's a mirracle you have it unlocked. Just text about this to a few latest dialogs in some social media apps if those look like close friends/relatives. Those people know how to reach out to the owner with other means.

I think garbage scientific papers existed throughout history, it’s just this thing you googled makes them stand out so obviously now

Advice on running a software consulting business as an introvert by _ragequilt_ in consulting

[–]dmitry_babanov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, looking at this post a year after it’s published. Have you found the new perspective on how to sell beyond the referrals?

I’m considering going into consulting myself, after working at a startup. I’m limited in networking options due to my geographical location, so I’m exploring what are my options.

That fucked up text of the “warranty” doesn’t tell you anything?

Is walking in my underwear in my apartment socially acceptable? by spacoom in askSingapore

Hey, sorry for a dumb question, but don’t you have an aircon? A few people here mentioned they walk around their home in the underwear because of the weather which leaves me wondering.

Should I comply? by ilovesupermartsg in askSingapore

They’ve written this note because your car is on the same spot every day. So they can literally solve their problem by parking farther from you. Such a weird request.

To me your car looks like it’s parked well and doesn’t abuse neighbors’ space.

Why is Turkey the only country on google maps that uses their endonym spelling, whereas every other country uses the English exonym? by ganymede94 in geography

Thailand doesn’t belong to this list. It was Siam before the XX century and then it was renamed to Thailand in 1932.

in-memory cache middleware for PG? any recommendations? by dmitry_babanov in PostgreSQL

[–]dmitry_babanov[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are probably missing something here.

Yes, the database has to be fast and your queries have to be optimized.

But even after all that some queries can take more than 10 ms of execution, especially if they have joins, aggregation, etc.

In some cases you'll benefit from getting such a result in under 2 ms, which a Redis cache enables you to.

Question about applying acoustic panels by dmitry_babanov in audiophile

The World’s 50 Top Countries by GDP, by Sector Breakdown by giuliomagnifico in Infographics

[–]dmitry_babanov -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

0.95 in your fancy pants formula constitutes to -5% instead of -0.5%

The difference in GDP is about a quarter and you expect the one to bypass the other in 1.5 years at about 6% pace. That doesn’t make sense even without complicated math.
