You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It’s ok if it’s just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn’t happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD’s have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.
What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?
I found the wikipedia article mostly incomprehensible but it says a few things. You are probably better off asking on MSE or Reddit, sorry to say. Wikipedia’s math reference desk has slowed down a lot in recent years though that’s possibly another place to try.
2·2 months agoOh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.
If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won’t fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

So, I’m sticking with Lemmy. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s real. Maybe we’ll get the true decentralization we’ve been promised one day
I thought we had Usenet since the 1970s.
Rep. Joe Morelle, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee which oversees the Library of Congress and U.S. Copyright Office, is alleging it is “no coincidence [Trump] acted less than a day after [Perlmutter] refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

Who needs Russia for that? Is it because of the 4chan outage?
Background story from 2023. Multiple violent incidents and steroids and $30K cash were found in the guy’s car:
He was sentenced to 5 years in prison in CA but served less than 1, due to prison overcrowding. Apparently he was considered a nonviolent offender, wtf.
Thanks, that was informative. Appears to be 'roid rage behind the road rage.
I didn’t know REI was taking such a bath. It’s full in yuppie fashion now. It once was cooler but much smaller.
8·2 months agoJava isn’t exactly hard, and it’s not particularly fundamental. It’s just bureaucratic, and Python will be both more enjoyable and more useful. Java was trendy in the 1990s and lingers on because so much Java code is still around. If your goal is to use a serious type system (Lisp and Python don’t have that), Haskell will be far more enlightening than Java. If you want to use the JVM for some reason, Clojure (a Lisp dialect that run in it) might interest you.
For low level fundamentals, you want assembly language! That gives you almost no assistance and you have to do EVERYTHING yourself, organizing the program in your own head. For old fashioned imperative programming with lots of organizational assistance, try Ada.
You will probably have to learn C at some point, but save it for later when it will be easier for you to spot the weaknesses.
I don’t remember being that impressed with HTDP but it’s been a while and I didn’t look much. I’d say read SICP first in either case.
The Java thing sounds totally uninteresting and if your next language after Lisp isn’t a a mainstream one, I’d say try Haskell.
Regarding math: it can help but it’s not that important for pure programming. If you’re good at languages and writing, that’s helpful in the same way. If you’re good at music, that is at least a helpful mindset.
Waiting for claims that the election was stolen and that Trump was the real winner.
If they own houses that is public info.
