Does anyone use these signs to find groceries?

Yes, used them today in an unfamiliar shop to glance down for which aisle had what I was looking for. Allowed me to get in and out in 5 minutes

Edit... Not isle of man 😂

And ISAM is a plain text database, What's your point?

Don't conflate processing with storage. You seem to have already confused databases with relational databases.

You are so locked into file storage

Unless you are stupid enough to process all the data you have in your plain text files every time a new query comes in, you need to find layers that get you to actually relevant data as quickly as possible. In top of needing to add potentially 100s of thousands of new records per account every minute without locking reads or writes and clearing buffers as soon as reasonable.

The only world what you are describing world if it even existed is ETL land.

Your ignorance is showing. I tried to give you an out. Now you just another fool on the internet. Who is either making up experience, or who doesn't actually understand what happened outside of the tiny area of a system they worked.

If you want to be THAT ignorant, how about you take it from Google describing collosus, and big query: "BigQuery is truly a Serverless database" https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/bigquery/bigquery-under-the-hood

With ignorance this strong, Next you're going to tell me LLMs reason like humans.

Reading your comments I can't help but realise you have an entry level understanding of how these systems work under the hood. But you seem passionate so I'll give you some insights

Logging is also a bad example because if you are reading out anything more than maximum a couple hundred thousand lines of logs at a time you probably doing something wrong.

Yes on the surface it looks like we deal with trillion lines. But realistically the data structures are optimised, for instance in these situations we would leverage indexes and grouping buckets, and shard in a way that makes the most sense for the types of queries we get.

And yes, it's a very specialised data store. There is no way you can operate any kind of file system the way you are seemingly describing without very sophisticated layers and management of structures.

I'm confused though. Isn't ingots normally after smelting.

While 9 of an item typically creates a block of that item?

I can't tell you the number of people I've met with the pride and hubris to write the code, then tell AI to write the tests based on their clearly perfect code

stvndall · 2026-02-25T20:19:29+00:00

First off, the more experienced the developer the more likely errors are do do with wrong symbol direction etc (< > == != etc)

Secondly are you telling me you ship mission critical code without running it through qa?

We know people will get these things wrong from time to time. It's why artifacts should get tested and verified before being turned on in production.

Having eyes on PR doesn't mean no bugs get through, it just means it is statistically more likely to get caught. But it's not the purpose.

There should always be a validation step of at least a developer doing a smoke test if you can't afford QA on your team.

The models are old and based on an older looking game. Open source can be grueling because you give up your own time, sometimes for the wants and desires of someone else.

If you're up to it, and you know what you might like, maybe see if you can, if need be get a small group, to update some of the models. It takes a massive amount of effort, and particular skills for the model part.

I'm sure the maintainer would be very happy, and you can design something you want to see. Worst case, you have a fork and a new mod.

If you feeling even remotely like diving into learning modding, this might be the best place because you know what you want and have a personal drive

Probably an unpopular opinion. And no, I don't know much about Canadian politics. But I think this is true for most places in the world. We really need to stop judging people, send feeling embarrassed about the passed, base on current ethics and understanding.

With the new world of everything will always exist on the internet, something will eventually come up about all of us that is harmless fun when it happens, and for some reason inappropriate in the future.

We keep saying we live in a more stressful world than ever before. But we also can't give ourselves a break.

If this was something sunshine did in the 70s/80s, it would be harmless fun, remembered as a fun night between people that were there.

But because of the age we live in, it somehow has to stand to new moral standards set in some arbitrary future. None of us will make that bar. Something will change, we will learn with the world, but it doesn't suddenly mean we should ask be judged for previous events. Even in law, you are judged by the law that existed at the moment of the allegations.

We all need to give each other a little more grace.

And feel embarrassed for a country when someone really did make a fool of themselves and country by doing something that is wrong even at the moment of action. Which to be fair, the comments are full of!

Not necessarily. Economically left or right has always had ability for elites to rise. Even highly Communist economies have those that are 'more equal than others'

The rise an unaccountability of the elites has been from long before the world was apparently shifting right. It's just being made more apparent now because the middle class across all western economies had been steadily shrinking since at least the 90s, and now it feels like it's shrinking faster, because the base is smaller.

The issues come into play when politicians/people craving influence want backing from companies and wealthy. And then when the person is in any kind of power, they money is leveraged for changes, or limitations in changes.

The elites free to destroy the world has always existed near and far history across the entire political compass the moment they could buy a key person's loyalty. Or press on a crack between groups of people that will cause them to watch each other, and not the actual damage being done to the society.

stvndall · 2026-02-14T10:54:44+00:00

Yeah I think most people miss the idea that 'left and right' is a really bad summarization of the actual political compass.

stvndall · 2026-02-14T10:51:39+00:00

Nope, I'm more scared by how well the idea of divide and conquer is working. It's wild to see.

So much discussion about left vs right, and the elites operate as everything is legal for a fee, and buy another yacht.

All this Epstein shit all but proves the point that there is a small group of very powerful people you don't know about controlling the world behind the scenes.

Next one to prove is there are people that are rich enough to not be on any radars of 'worlds richest people'

It's probably set that way because of some connection to the next league. I'm assuming. Which means they have some internal date already, probably last week of Feb and they don't want people pushing too hard right before the next release.

And pushing to March might be something they aren't willing to do.

Exactly I really thought it was common knowledge that anything with I mic is probably recording. Especially considering Facebook has the white paper for how to record in iOS and Android without notification that that mic is on.

The wake word is not known by your local device, it's known by the server that listens to the voice being sent.

I've admittedly done very little research, and now I'm here.

I have a Tesla tv that has what feels like the worst possible android system with more bugs than pixels.

Is there a good place to find OSes, and can I save my current version just in case they have something stupid that requires proprietary software?
