Could you stitch a specific query plan to your view?

‘create plan llm_optimized …’

‘create view foo (select x, y, z from table bar) with plan llm_optimized’

I witnessed my great aunt of 85 trying to watch TV. It was sad and painful. How ux is forgetting this entire generation is just terrible.

The architecture from hell. Hard to debug. Why didn't my service pick up that event? Error handling. What happens with the state if a service throws an exception? Resource hog. How do I map/reduce all these events into a state?

I do like events. They go into my elk stack where I can look at pretty graphs which gives me a story of how my system behaves over time.

It's come down to hostage ransom now. Easier to pull some people off the boat and hide them in the jungle for ransom. The huge vessel they came in on requires expertise to crew.

I listed private office as a requirement for my current job. Now I'm in the office almost every day.

At one point in time there were talks of sharing the space. I told them I had other options. The talks died.

Don't only negotiate on salary.

I love my aeropress. Light weight. Super easy to clean by just giving it a rinse. And most importantly, makes a very good clean cup of coffee no matter what.

I like the moka as well. But it's harder to master. It will play different on different stoves. The original is in aluminum, so won't work on induction. But when you get the nack it will make you steaming darkness.

Not quite sure why I'm getting downvoted for publishing those two links, but hey :)

Anyway, here's the UK's disclaimer from the Yellow Card summary link you posted.

Part of our monitoring role includes reviewing reports of suspected side effects. Any member of the public or health professional can submit suspected side effects through the Yellow Card scheme. The nature of Yellow Card reporting means that reported events are not always proven side effects. Some events may have happened anyway, regardless of vaccination. This is particularly the case when millions of people are vaccinated, and especially when most vaccines are being given to the most elderly people and people who have underlying illness.

I switched to this kind of mouseless setup a couple of years ago and haven't looked back.

It takes some time getting into, but the rewards were worth it for me. I'm now relying on muscle memory for navigation, and my mouse arm inflammation is gone!

I can heartily recommend "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins" by Kasparov.

It's his story on what happened around Deep Blue.

I value time the further into my professional life I get. So for me, paying for good quality documentation, wether it comes in form of a website or a book, is a better bargain than me trying to read up on 10 blog posts and going down the rabbit hole of the source code.
