For me, colder weather doesn't necessarily dictate warmer clothing, it dictates a faster pace or more inside activities.

Another thing is getting used to and being comfortable with being cold and hot. Enjoying time in saunas and cold plunges made me pack even lighter than I already did.

TBH I've been finding Claude quite funny lately, the pasta jokes are pretty good.

I was looking for this comment. I share a similar experience. Everywhere I lived (Croatia, Poland, Switzerland, ...) it felt like there was infinite magical locations within 1-2h drive with a lot of natural variety (ocean, lakes, ridges, forests, islands).

I'm not so confident that would be true all over the world. Some places I've spent 3-4 weeks in the nature I got bored from the lack of diversity. Can only stare into dirt and sand for so long.

I agree with what you're saying. I think we're saying the same thing. I see that in the text you're quoting I only proposed a way to handle hotly written rows, and didn't address read rows being changed. This is also a problem.

My broader point is that with serializable you need to be aware of these bottlenecks in the database and you need to create a data model and access patterns such that permance hits are avoided as much as possible.

> Surprisingly, there are many more stories and publications about bugs caused by weak isolation levels than cases where stronger isolation levels caused impractically low performance.

I expected the article to substantiate the claim that serializable brings a large performance hit as in my experience it isn't so. The article basically makes the same point.

With serializable, you need to be a little careful not to have hot rows. Avoid them by sharding commonly written values. Another way to improve performance is to use true time for ordering non read-then-write transactions. It's a little finicky if the database doesn't provide such guarantees out of the box. Take Google's Spanner as an example. It offers the serializable isolation level and it's pretty performant (as long as you account for hot spots).

That's so funny.

The bigger problem is how much realestate the AI answer takes, you need a good 2-3 scrolls to get to the first result on a 14inch laptop.

Was the talk recorded? I'd love to see it. No pressure if it isn't public.

What does this mean for a non-eu citizen communicating with an eu citizen? Is it as simple as using signal/matrix instead of whatsapp/messenger?

A thousand bucks for 17x17 touchscreen. Add a painting frame, hang it on the wall, and you made yourself amazing art for cheap.

What did I just watch... Alright, something for everyone, I guess.
