I wish to god they would allow 2 connections. One read-only for my BI tool, and one read-write for dbt/sqlmesh

I think using a pyarrow dataset as an intermediary would allow for a zero copy read/write from one connection into a second connection.

I cant see Mozilla surviving this. This is something monopolies get away with, not also-rans

I respect what tailwind has done

But, here's an issue for me: it makes your (cacheable/compressible) CSS smaller and your (uncacheble/uncompressible) HTML larger

Of course, you can cache and compress HTML. Unless you're using TLS, then you should not compress HTML (see BREACH). And unless you have any dynamic data on your page, then you won't be using caching...

And Tailwind makes HTML responses quite a bit larger

Went all in on the BALL stack (bootstrap, alpine.js, laravel livewire) and couldn't be happier

Remove the T, it's cleaner.

nice!

the calculator at https://xkqr.org/insurance/ would be more useful if the numeric input for probability's step was 0.1 or 0.05, then you can use the up/down arrow keys to change the value. see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes... . and incr step of "cost" to say 100

Also, if there was a link to a big "probability of x" life events, like getting in a car accident, or your sink overflowing

why is cache size negative?

According to the docs, it sets the cache_size based on kilobytes rather than pages. [1]

My phone won't open the link but I hope 80087322 is on there

you need to put your phone upside down for the link to open

If a website could detect whether the device is upside down, that would make for a truly excellent Easter egg.

> The Igon Value Problem is a way of summarizing the lack of depth often encountered in modern journalism that focuses on esoteric subjects in which the journalist (or any writer in general) is not personally an expert.

If eigenvalues and determinants are esoteric knowledge in this day and age then I don’t want to live anymore.

Joking aside, things like these place content Gladwell has said or written under suspicion, because now we are dealing with the Gellman amnesia effect across a broader scope of work and subject matter.

A once in awhile mishap is one thing, typos are common even in the most densely technical of texts. But MG has a history of making lateral jumps to derive nonsensical conclusions to support completely unfounded statements. Elsewhere on the internet we have a term for that sort of creative, lateral thinking: shitposting.
