There can be multiple groups of many people in a population. It doesn’t have to be a majority to be significant.

25% of 150 million is a pretty large number of people. “Many” is vague enough that you shouldn’t be calling anyone dumb over it.

Its loud and often kicks up tons of dust that can be an irritant until it eventually lands on everything nearby.

It’s not a graph of population over time.

Gaming in Linux on a windows VM isn’t viable for most systems. Most games run really well through proton with little to no effort. Some even run better on Linux than on windows. You just can’t play a lot of the most popular competitive online games because it flags their anti cheat.

Fake. A real 9/11 sandwich would be served with freedom fries.

That’s a misleading headline. Makes it sound like 70% of young people use cannabis. The figure is that of people who were charged with cannabis related crimes, 70% were in their 20s. About 1.8% of their population had ever used cannabis in 2019.

Mortgage rates are down ~0.25% over the last month which is a bigger deal for most buyers. Mortgages and homes are still pretty expensive compared to a couple years ago but we might finally be at a turning point. The fact that everything isn’t getting worse is a good sign.

Some phones will let you save your physical sim as an eSIM.

It’s common enough that tik tok banned the hyperborea hashtag and you can find a couple 4chan threads about it at any time.

I think actually believing in it is pretty fringe even among neo nazis though. It usually involves magic and aliens. It sometimes ties into flat earth and similar nonsense.

You can read a bit more about it here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_Nazism

It’s also a weird neo nazi version of Atlantis. Probably best it wasn’t used.

Thanks for trying to explain it. I was hung up on thinking all UUIDs looked like UUID v4. I read up a little on UUID v7 and it’s making sense. Probably should’ve done that sooner.

I’ve more of a math background than cs so monotonic is a word I know well but it apparently means something slightly different to me. Monotonicity isn’t mentioned anywhere in that link.

Would they not have monotonic uuids after altering the code in the article to use a function or lambda as they suggested?

I was reading it as an endorsement for autoincrementing int primary keys and a condemnation of uuids in general which is a genuine stance I’ve known people to take. Is that not it?

UUIDs make great primary keys in some applications. If you generated 100 trillion UUID4s, there’s about a 1 in a billion chance of finding a duplicate. Thats usually good enough for my databases.

The issue here was that they used a single UUID instead of generating a new one for each record.

I work with software and my coworkers will occasionally tell me they ran something by ChatGPT instead of just reading the documentation. Every time it’s a bullshit waste of everyone’s time.

Copper and iron are essential elements in human biology. Enamel coatings need to be thrown out once they start chipping. Nickel isn’t great but in my experience stainless steel pans barely shed any material after years of use.

I stop at manufactured polymers. Particularly when they’re used in applications where they fall apart into our food and the environment where they’re going to last millions of years.

It’s not known to be harmful or carcinogenic. Doesn’t mean it isn’t. It’s hard to identify correlation between exposure and harm for something that we’re nearly all exposed to especially if the level of harm is low.

Companies have also been known to harass and silence researchers who show their products are harmful. I don’t see a reason to trust that PTFE is safe to eat when I have the option to just not eat it.

Ever seen a well used Teflon pan that wasn’t scratched or chipped? All of that goes into your food.
