This guy architects. You also get to a spend a lot of time explaining to non technical folks why their ideas are bad or expensive to build. Lots of being the bad guy.

Sorry, best we can do is folks who hold up little signs that say "lies" during speeches.

As an idiot, I'm curious why Puerto Rico got lumped in with these other countries?

I think that's specific to .world.

I get a gig down but only 50mbps up (fucking spectrum), so I gotta limit seeding the same way or I'd just crush my upload speed all the time.

Honestly privacy and social media don't make sense together at all. With all of these platforms, your privacy = how much you share on them. You can't share sensitive information on any social media (corpo or federated) and expect it to be private.

Storing large volumes of a text in a database column without optimization, then searching for small strings within it. It causes the database to basically search character by character to find a match by reading everything from disk. If you use indexes the database can do a lot of really incredible optimization to make finding values mich faster, and honestly string searching is better suited to a non-relational DB engine (which is why search engines don't use relational DBs).

Cartesian explosion is where you join related data together in a way that causes your result set to be wayyyy bigger than you expect. For example if you try to search through blog posts, but then also decide to bring in comments to search, then bring in the authors of those comments and all their comments from other posts. Result sets start to grow exponentially in that way, so maybe if you only search a few thousand blog posts you might be searching through millions of records because you designed your queries poorly.

 

Are there any phone screening apps for Android that don't rely on a 3rd party service, something that functions more along the lines of ublock or similar?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I'm stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I'm gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna mentally burn out on passive media.

  • I have media on my phone - movies, shows and audio books, but I can only do about 2-3 hours at a stretch before I burn out on those things.
  • I have wifi and power both on the ground and on the plane, although I'm sure the connection once we get going isn't going to be performance enough for online games.
  • I have a phone and headset but didn't bring a laptop because it was just extra bulk I didn't think I'd need. I don't have a switch or steam deck or anything neat.
  • I have access to the airport lounge, so drinks are free, and I get free drinks on the plane. I don't want to get wasted or have to pee constantly, so my plan is to jim lahey it.
  • I'm intrigued by mobile games, but every one I've tried has felt too gimmicky with gambling or freemium BS mechanics. Also tried started valley but it never got me hooked either. I have an android and will buy games if they're worth it.
  • I'm open to any other ideas that could somehow mentally (or physically while on the ground) stimulate me.
  • I'm a dude in my 30s with a family and kids, but I'm currently traveling solo.
  • I've already killed 2 hours on a plane and 2 more on the ground (my planned connection time) doing nothing, I was saving my media trying to avoid burning out on shit before I get on the plane.
  • I suck at sleeping when on the go.
  • I'm on my 3rd mimosa and bored as fuck.

Help.
