Sometimes its nice for your PK to be uniformly distributed. As a reader, even if it hurts as a writer. For instance, you can easily shard queries and workloads.

Classic OLTP vs OLAP.


My backtick muscle memory no longer worked after the update. Feels like someone just rewrote it.

it's great if you need to sort in the face of unreliable memory iirc

definitely not Ellison Jr lol

Ah that Ellison, didn't make the connection.

> who thought people were too stupid to understand any nuance of a situation

Americans have already proven they are too stupid for such nuance over the last decade or so.


uhh I think various parts of Trump's presidency seem to be tantamount to those things. Jan 6, for instance.


The Jan 6 mob isn't a public institution that ever had any public trust to lose.


I am talking about Trump's handling of it. Both day of and subsequently (e.g. pardoning them because they're "his people.")

Not to mention public officials being fired due to calling it a "mob" as you just did.


I think you're taking issue with the wrong thing here lol. There may have been something before (it's the real world after all), but what RFK is doing is quite frankly insane.


> what RFK is doing is quite frankly insane.

oh definitely - that is why I have not commented on this part of article, as I agree that such pseudoscience is simply idiotic, dangerous and will kill people and I am in agreement that it is bad

But this part made me go "really? really? really?" - this kind of reality denial is not helpful either and prompted my comment. And they could phrase it a bit more mildly for far greater accuracy.

I edited my initial comment a bit.


idk...all the Claude-generated code I'm seeing checked into our codebase is as bad as the code the same people wrote themselves. Claude probably makes it less strenuous and faster for them to produce those results though.

Uh oh.. maybe it's a problem to grease the wheels of the least-skilled...


> So how can Valve get away with this? Three things cut against the skins’ status as securities.

Small lip service at the end that acts like it's a grey area. No it's not - these are so far away from being securities it's purely superficial to even make the comparison


I can often get whole free range chickens for 99c/lb. So a 6lb chicken for $6.


Where is that?
