It’s likely much faster to fetch the common feed from the database cache or prepared cache like Redis, and apply all this additional data in the app, than do uncached joins. So I’d hope that the apps do this. Especially since you say they use Redis, which of course doesn’t do joins and such, unless something changed in the past years.
Might wanna check which publication this post links to.
TBF ½ slowdown is an extreme case. I’m mostly using the speed of around 0.7-0.8.
DJ turntables allow variable speed, afaik — which was employed back in the eighties to turn techno into slower and sexier Belgian new-beat. But they aren’t quite consumer-grade devices, of course.
Obligatory: ‘Rules for Rulers’ is a very condensed summary of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith’s ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’.
Fun fact: the original Vol. 1 and 2 were made by a dude who had an actual turntable with a ‘16 rpm’ setting. It wasn’t slowed down digitally.
Though using about the same trick works well with some other records, as I mentioned in the post from yesterday: particularly fast idm or edm. VLC’s realtime speed adjustment is alright (with the pitch correction disabled), and from command-line tools sox produced best sound for me, while ffmpeg’s output was rather poor. Idk about Audacity.
Ah, it’s been many moons since I myself saw the series, and I didn’t really follow all the dealings in it, at that age. Need a thorough rewatch one of these days.
The band have arguably made some of their best material during the time when most of them were on heroin, even if just on and off, the band’s future was very precarious, and they turned to songs of their childhood years to both fulfill contractual obligation and get some spiritual jolt from the stupor. It’s no coincidence that most of the songs chosen are originally either bright and optimistic, or have wistful melancholy to them — in the time when many of Chipmunks’ peers preferred grungy sound to counter the eighties’ excess. This diversion and infusion of nostalgia for youthful cheer might’ve been what saved the band and let them continue their legacy, perhaps even giving the members some renewed appreciation of life.
Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.
To add to other answers, the result for the ‘all’ feed is likely to be cached, either explicitly by the server app or implicitly by the database. Personal feeds are less likely to be cached, since they’re only used by individual users.
Strictly speaking, the db might be looking in an index to choose rows by the communities — but using such a condition is pretty much guaranteed to be slower than not using it, anyway.
The actual answer depends on the actual database organization, of course. Ideally the whole database should be organized around frequent queries.
Took them long enough, it seems. Apparently lack of traffic controllers wasn’t preventing flights last week.
Least it keeps away from politics
You continue making it difficult to believe that you actually saw ‘Babylon 5’.
It’s just a rando account who recreates the manner in which Newsom’s office tweets.
It’s not Newsom’s press office.
Imgur users on ‘new’ once ran an experiment for a day where they upvoted basically anything — in practice, oddest and weirdest stuff bubbled up. I’ve never seen such entertaining feed before or after.
Passwords are typically sent to the server and hashed there. I’m a bit hazy right now on the implications of client-side hashing, but it would likely present some security problems.
Edit: at the least, it would allow an attacker to use a leaked password database to log in to the sites, sidestepping the whole hashing thing.
There are protocols that send a hashed or encrypted password instead of plaintext, but they’re more complex than just hashing. Iirc they involve a challenge-and-response method.
I remember when Wine was in alpha for twelve years (and then beta for three more). Was surprised to learn that it finally exited that stage, some time ago already.
Google integrates its own services in both the phone and messaging apps: namely spam reporting and blocking. I’m guessing that other major brands also have services to that end.
Google’s ‘Messages’ also has a button to make a video call, and I dunno even what app and protocol would be used for that, as I never used video calls and don’t have any Google apps for that functionality.
Actually seems more coherent that way.
