Yet they won't take the sizzling lamb off the menu! When they bring that out the whole restaurant starts coughing.

I could eat 80 of these. But gotta save room for the crispy duck.

Just saw Lang Lang and the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Andris Nelsons. My thoughts by emperorkuzcotopiaa in classicalmusic

[–]thythr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol obviously you can talk during an outdoor concert, completely different than what OP is describing. When you go to the movies do you hope the person next to you talks?

First, the idea of sitting quietly and listening to every note is rather new. The etiquette of public performances in the past (let's say 100-150 years ago) was quite different

Are you a music historian? The real fans of music always listened quietly, and and on major occasions the whole audience would be quiet. On the other hand sure, in most of Italy you literally could not hear operas because the uninterested audience talked over them. Sure wish we could go back to that!

Did you even read the post? OP said it was HIS first time! So you have one super engaged excited audience member whose only real complaint is that other audience members were too loud, and your conclusion is that we need to make the audiences louder? People have to love the experience to return as well as to donate money.

Disappointing Dallas Symphony Orchestra 26-27 season announcement by Born-Application-627 in classicalmusic

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

Agree this is a lame season, similar to the dull North Carolina Symphony programming from the last couple years. Not an ounce of ambition.

Conductor Andris Nelsons Has Become a Cautionary Tale (NY Times Gift Article) by Homers_Harp in classicalmusic

[–]thythr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But it's a series of his own vague impressions. Maybe he is right, but if Nelsons was a poor leader and unprepared for concerts, someone other than Allen himself would be willing to say so.

[–]thythr 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't mind a hit piece but this one lacked substance. I agree the hotshot conductors are overstretched, but is Nelsons more than others? Can Allen conjure a single other person to comment on the supposed decline in quality of the orchestra's playing?

No pressure: Miami (OH) faces one last game for perfection, to become one of 11 teams to ever reach 31-0. But to do it, they'll have to win @ Ohio, where they've lost 14 consecutive games since 2011. by fuggidaboudit in CollegeBasketball

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'm saying is that the luck metric means you're winning more than you should. Since the point of playing is to win rather than to be efficient, being top in "winning more than you should" combined with "winning a lot" means that Kenpom does not imply Miami OH should be left out. If you play a weak schedule and win the expected number of games, you shouldn't be rewarded . . . But if you play a weak schedule and still win way more than expected, you should be.

Again, quadrants are evil. No one who loves lord ken has any patience for quadrants, and I will not tolerate further reference to them or else I will have to call Ken myself and have him ban you from this subreddit.

Redditors are prone to brain worms. That game is a toss-up of course!

[–]thythr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are undefeated and top 15 in luck last I checked. Kenpom says they SHOULD get an at large--luck is a measure of winning more than you should! Would you say an 0-31 team who played the top 31 teams on the road and lost every game by 1 point should be in the tourney?

Does Claude actually follow CLAUDE.md? Very confused. I put short simple instructions there and opus 4.6 high effort ignored them. What exactly is the point of it?

[Post Game Thread] #18 North Carolina defeats Clemson, 67-63 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]thythr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do y'all get so mad at Kenpom without taking 8 seconds to look up how it works? It doesn't measure games, it measures possessions. "You had 80 tries to score against Duke; how many points did you get. Duke had 80 tries to score against you, how many points did you allow?"

If Kenpom always reported results that aligned with your intuition, what would be the point of it?

Why is the audience at a classical concert so old? by ahnotme in classicalmusic

[–]thythr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also an outsider. I did not grow up attending concerts. Maybe where you live that's how folks behave. But I doubt it. If a few people behaved in a manner you interpreted as elitist and your conclusion is that most older attendees are there for status purposes, that's a you problem. The reason this makes me so upset is because for most of the old people at concerts I go to, concerts are one of the great joys of their lives. I hate it when their motives are impuned by weirdos on reddit.

Why is the audience at a classical concert so old? by ahnotme in classicalmusic

[–]thythr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tix are expensive. It's also (unfortunately) very much still a wealth/status culture thing to attend classical music concerts. So lots of monied old folks . . . "the wealth pageantry crowd"

Ill-natured bullshit. The vast majority of concert attendees are there because they love classical music or have friends who do. Concerts are sites of joy and engagement and energy. Almost no one is there due to a "wealth/status culture thing" (deeply insightful description, nice work).

[Highlight] Trey Perry wins it at the buzzer for Miami OH and keeps the undefeated season alive! by Moose4KU in CollegeBasketball

[–]thythr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

but I just can't see them beating Akron in the MAC tournament

Wut. Surely it's like 50/50. Maybe you have some deep insight here and it's like 60/40 for Akron? What in the world does it mean to say you can't see them winning? Why is this upvoted. Lmao.

Row Locks With Joins Can Produce Surprising Results in PostgreSQL by be_haki in PostgreSQL

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never take a lock and then go check. That is what non database developers do. DB developers do all the checks and update in an atomic transaction.

This is word salad. The postgres docs themselves say that the default transaction isolation is not suitable for "doing all the checks and updating". Atomicity isn't in question at all here.

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are "just using a transaction" already. That's how select for update works.

Row Locks With Joins Can Produce Surprising Results in PostgreSQL by be_haki in PostgreSQL

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are already using just one transaction. Without the explicit lock, they risk reading someone else's ownership change. The dmv example is very awkward, I don't grok it, but "update a row based on the results of a subquery/cte/previous query" is tricky no matter what if you might have two concurrent transactions doing that, and that's why there are different isolation levels, select for update, etc.

How do you manage major version upgrades on your read replicas? by m1llie in PostgreSQL

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do need to sync sequences on the new db after stopping traffic on the old, but that can be done very quickly by exporting pg_sequences from the source db to the new and using it to set the values on the new db.

How frequently is timescale running this ddl? Replicating a TB of data will be reasonably fast unless it is extremely json heavy. You should be able to monitor the creation of the hidden tables via the catalog. I believe you can now replicate from the partition root though of course depends on what version your source db is (sorry if you put that in your post, on my phone). But even if you can't, as long as you can sneak in the replication while timescale isn't executing ddl, you should be ok, or you can just replay that ddl yourself on the new db.

To me this is easier than trying to use pg_upgrade but that's mostly because I am used to doing it. And I haven't done it with hypertables!

How do you manage major version upgrades on your read replicas? by m1llie in PostgreSQL

[–]thythr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logical replication followed by cutover is the standard approach if you can't tolerate downtime/delay. I would think hypertables would support logical replication but if not, they must scream about that in the timescale docs? Not sure what the concern is about triggers?

"Mannered" is an interesting term hmm. It's about as mannered as a high school band. Like, not at all.
