I've not evaluated it or ever worked with it myself, but CitusDB has been working on PostgreSQL horizontal scaling for quite some time now, right?

Does anyone have positive or negative experiences with Citus?


Using it right now, the community feels non-existent and the documentation is as barebones as it gets. Luckily my requirements are easy since I only need schema-based sharding so from an operations perspective, it's "just" managing one database clusters for each shard but I would just not use Postgres the next time and instead go with Vitess since at least you're not all on your own then.


How much power is the Pi port capable of delivering, or are you sending additional power to the PCIe adapter from somewhere else?

What SmartNIC are you using? Most SmartNICs that I'm aware of suck a decent amount of power, many more require significant external airflow. Are you using the Mikrotik active cooled one? https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_2xs_pcie


The Pi port can deliver 5 or 10W max at 5V IIRC. So I'm not using it :D

The 12V comes from an external power supply through a barrel jack, from which I also derive the 3.3V rail. The Pi provides no power whatsoever. I should publish the design files somewhere.

As for the NIC, it's a Netronome Agilio-CX which is fully programmable using eBPF and such.


Because in most of the US, it is dramatically cheaper to charge an EV than fuel a similar gas vehicle.

These costs in this article are surprising to me, and very questionable without any actual numbers behind it. As a PHEV owner who can fuel with either gas or electricity, the 13c per kWh I pay is dramatically cheaper than gas at circa $3 a gallon, to drive any distance at all.

Confounding factors across the US may be that in some places using more electricity results in an increase in your marginal rate, in others it results in a decrease. Typically EV charging is not broken out as its own line item, so owners may not know exactly how many kWh their car is consuming. That doesn't change the fact that only a small number of places with very expensive electricity will have electric charging cost anywhere near gas.


Disease, disaster, war all cause significant inflation because they harm or destroy both things and productivity in the real world without destroying money.

If factories shut down and supply chains are disrupted and we only make half as many cars this year, how much would people be willing to pay for those cars? Much more.


What's the maximum length? I can't find it documented anywhere and keep running into it when trying to try this with Tool tracks.


There is no enforced maximum length for either input or output right now. In practice, the remote machine times out trying to analyze a song after 10 or so minutes. For output, your machine will take forever to generate really long results.


I see an error saying "Remote media exceeds maximum duration" for this track that is 9:24 long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs

I'm guessing that's the timeout?


I had forgotten about this check actually! I just removed it and deployed the changes. You can try again but am unsure if it will break something (it will spin indefinitely, but I would give it up to 10 minutes). Good luck!


I haven't measured, but I find it very likely that such a neglected corner of Java behaves just like it did many years ago. Finalizers were never a widely used feature of the Java language, and are now deprecated to be fully removed in the future: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3649089/how-to-handle-java...


If someone trying to make a joke can accidentally get this much access and engagement, imagine how well the scammers must be doing.

Cryptocurrency scams must be an incredibly lucrative space, and now we know why there's so much spam about it that plenty leaks out into visibility.


I was wondering myself if crypto is just the 'the one thing we all need to learn ourselfs garbage '.

Like when I was 14 I called at a tv gamble Show were the clues were extremely easy but the solutions were extreme hard.

I probably wasted 30€ from my parents.

Did crypto catch so many people for the first time?

Or have they done other stupid things like MLM, homeopathy, Tourist traps, fake calls, fake family members, etc?


Buddy, no offense, but I don't really understand what you're saying here (assuming it's lost in translation).

Are you saying that maybe crypto itself is a big scam and everyone is eventually going to learn that the hard way?


Im trying to say that potentially everyone needs to learn getting scammed to learn it.

One person might experience something as a young age and others later.

My assumption is now that crypto is in such a good place (money, rich, tech) that it finds so many people.

Yes crypto is good in scamming


I personally learned by paying attention. And seeing others get scammed.


Many states still only require $15,000 of liability coverage to drive, so there's going to be a lot more uninsured / underinsured motorist claims in the future.

The Rivian owners insurance will frequently end up paying out, via that underinsured motorist coverage.


To detail, though the Rivian driver has under insured insurance, the at fault party is still responsible for that difference, and the insurance company will take the at fault party to court if they can recoup a portion of the remaining $35k at low expense.


Realistically, what happened is that Apple increased the maximum allowed size for apps delivered from the App Store. When you don't put limits in, nobody is going to choose to prioritize smaller app size. It's a bit of a tragedy of the commons.


I was shown an error page with an option to refresh or log out, and refreshing just got the same error. Now login seems to be down.
