Isn’t the problem the same with both systems but one just scales a lot better and is more dangerous?

Im intrigued by why you believe federal level should override local variations. It seems so counter intuitive.

I was taught at UT. Apparently Djikstra would make his students take exams with pens instead of pencils.

Less likely to make mistakes if you can’t erase

I remember using VLC and figuring out how to download subtitles and use them within it.

I suddenly became the computer person of my family at 11 because of that

I hate issue numbers for branch names. ISSUE-9482 doesn’t really provide much.

Ticket link should always be included in PR description.

But branch names should be descriptive like terraform_dev_create_instance

etc

which begs the question why even get a laptop as a daily driver

people do it all the time for gaming laptops etc when probably 99% of their usage is at the same desk

One is passively receiving the answer and the other is actively reading and comparing multiple choices.

If you were the type that would just copy paste whatever came up first, then yeah its just quicker to do it that way.

confused why it would be worse for range partitioning?

I assume there would be some type of index on the timestamp portion & the uuid portion?

wouldn’t that make it better for partitioning since we’d only need to query partitions that match the timestamp portion

i recently started and kinda agree?

my setup before was just build and scp

now it takes like 3 mins for a deploy: i haven’t setup caching for builds etc. but that feels like a self made problem

my proj is pretty simple so thats probably why
