  • yeah, thats still an open question, if i dont forget anything about s2.

    Tap for spoiler

    i’d guess it will be some technobable about the video signal thats send to the cleaners helm and the cafeteria window are processed by the same programs, if they ever want to get back to it or it will be explained as some kind of fail-safe to get potential rebels out of the silo or something like that.






  • I have read about this related to how FB does it. In general this means that fetching from the DB and keep it in memory to work with right? So we assume that the cached data is outdated to some extend?

    correct, introducing caching can result in returning outdated data for awhile, which is usually not a huge deal. those caches can get tricky, but they should take pressure from your db, if you’re scenario is read heavy, which is often the case. Research existing caching solutions before running ahead and implementing something from scratch, especially if you need a cache distirbuted between multiple instances of your service. In the Java world that would be something like Infinispan, but your ecosystem might over better integration with other solutions.

    I was able to convince management to put money into a new server (SSD thank god). So thank you for your emphasizes. We are also migrating to PostgreSQL from SQL server, and refactor the whole approach and design in general.

    having management on board is great and the new hardware should help a lot, migrating to another RDBMS sounds scary, but probably worth it if your organisation has more expertise with it.

    generate indexes

    they won’t help you with your duplicates, they will help speed up your reads but could slow down writes. building a good index is not trivial, but nothing is when it comes to performance tuning a database, it’s tradeoff after tradeoff. The best way to handle identical rows of data is to not write them usually, but i don’t know your system nor its history, maybe there is or was a good reason for its current state.













  • not allowing to downplay the holocaust, is something i really don’t experience as beeing restricted in my speech, but equating the genocide in gaza to it, does exactly that.

    It was not ‘just’ genocide it was the industrialization of killing, it was slavework, it was the dehuminisation of everyone the nazis deemed ‘undesirable’ and it was getting an entire nation to go along with it.

    There is quite literally nothing in history that comes close to that and implying otherwise is a disservice to every victim and survivor of it and it downplays the guilt the perpetrators have to bear, and thats nothing i want to have.



  • https://feddit.org/comment/6618458

    i commented on why i have issues with that here. I guess something like deepl will do a good enough job of translating it to english if you can’t read german. It’s a complex topic and i struggle to get my thoughts on it in order even in my native language, so please bear with me.

    I am not saying that what is happening in Gaza is not genocide, i am pretty sure it is and it is gruesome, but it does not compare to the holocaust.

    It’s also not needed for the discussion of the horrific situation or in order to criticize the actions of the IDF or the Goverment of Israel, so why even bring that up in the first place? it just poisons any discussion to be had, because it breaks it down to “You are a Nazi, or you are not” which is enough to feel good on social media, but nothing more.
