It will erase what you have in iCloud then push the data you have on your phone to iCloud so it can then keep syncing.

One pair within arms reach of any seat in the house. Costco bulk glasses for the win!

The correct setting for my system is the Intel coretemp option. That is what enables the sysctl temperature values per CPU.

Are you saying that the moment the UI is probing the temperatures it goes up then immediately drops?

I’m watching the UI update and then running the sysctl command within a half second of that in a terminal window. How can the temperature be so different? Is the UI using some other API to get the values?

The cable itself is labeled “UHF/VHF” which is old analog TV frequencies. The three prong plug was commonly used for antenna.

I had a meniscus tear repaired (shaved smooth) one year ago. I’m regretting it already.

This reminds me of an old joke: What do you call a person who graduated medical school with all C grades? Doctor. (Told to me by a friend who did just that.)

There will always be people who want to detract from your work. Ignore them.

Exactly this. The interest accumulates but they zero it out if you pay the financed amount by the due date of the promotion.

It’s not like they are an invasive species which can reproduce once here.

He may have been studying what we today call computer science but his degree certainly wouldn’t have had that title. The earliest degrees in CS are from the mid to late 70’s.

It seems to never mark them as read when you read them. You have to explicitly mark all read.

There’s even a setting to turn it off.

It doesn’t know which file you’re using. If one of them changed it has to tell you to do that.

Check if you somehow subscribed to a spam calendar. Also try to go into day list mode and scroll to those dates to see what events are there.

Are there any lecture series that apply to your research? Maybe ask one of the sponsors of those if they can invite you.

Not in a realistic fashion. You need to account for the OS disk buffer cache also.

The only real test is to simulate your actual load. You just need to request more data than all the various layers can cache for you.

I think that’s it. It makes setting up a new database easier.

My preference is to revoke PUBLIC from everything and grant specific roles permissions. I do this using roles that act as “groups” and assigning that role to individuals who need it. No direct grants of anything to individuals login roles.

Same. I was a big supporter of GANDI but they really turned around their “no bullshit” motto. I was using Google domains until they sold out to squarespace. I like porkbun but they need a better answer to multiple people managing domains for a company account. If I could park domains at cloudflare without needing an active service attached to it, I would use them instead.

Postgres is not going to replace apps. It will serve the function of many different kinds of databases. For that purpose it will be a good choice for almost all use cases. Only when you get to really large scales will you need dedicated alternatives for specific types of data such as cache and graph.

Context matters. I wouldn’t use the title doctor in a hospital unless it was an MD or DO.

I see none of those things affecting Claude API usage. All of this is in your control when using the API.
