Online means you expect the responses to come quickly (seconds) after launching the request. The opposite is "offline" where you expect the results to come a long time after making the request (hours / days).

ClickHouse is designed so you can build dashboard with it. Other offline system are designed so you can build reports that you send in PDF over email with them.


This is the GH for the official LibreOffice project: https://github.com/LibreOffice

Notice how they say “No PR” on every single repo ? So for sure no PR was open.

Putting a bit more energy, you are redirected to a whole other system which I have never seen anywhere else (and in this case; unique doesn’t mean good). After 5 minutes of trying to navigate what is probably the least intuitive software forge I ever had the displeasure to witness, you understand that clearly these guys live in a different UI/UX bubble than the rest of us.


Seems like they use gerrit. A lot of larger projects use gerrit for their code review. It is different, yes, but many prefer it over GitHub's "pull request" paradigm which really sucks for high velocity contributors.


> This is verifiable by observing and touching hair of other people's hair before and after shower, which eliminates the possibility of shampoo manufacturers secretly altering what you perceive with your fingers.

No; you would need to touch people hair after a shampoo shower and after a non shampoo shower to see the difference.

My very possibly wrong understanding is that plain water + the mechanical action of the water being sprayed on the hair + your hand scratching the scalp does a huge portion of the work. Shampoo itself does very little. So if you don’t have any at your disposal; just does “as if”; and for slightly longer and you will essentially be good to go.


> No; you would need to touch people hair after a shampoo shower and after a non shampoo shower to see the difference.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. My girl friend has long hair, and doesn't wash with shampoo every day (which is somewhat common for long-haired people I believe), and the texture after shower is very different.

In college, especially exam week, we had more anecdata. It was possible to see people who 1) had not washed their hair, 2) had washed their hair in a sink with water only, 3) dry-washed with those sprays, and 4) washed with shampoo. It was very easy to tell which they did.

In general, soapy cleaner (or similar substances) is going to help immensely when cleaning oily stuff. And hair can be really oily. Water-only is just not the same.

One scenario I don't have is comparing other soapy products to shampoo. But shampoo aren't more expensive than other soaps anyway, so I never bothered to look.


> doesn't wash with shampoo every day

There are two types of people who don't shampoo every day: those who don't wash their hair every day, and those who wash their hair with water most days but shampoo only some days.

If your girlfriend is in group 2, then your experience is relevant to the parent's post; if she is in group 1, then you haven't yet experienced the difference.


I'm in both group 1 and 2 (I normally alternate between the two, i.e. soap - water - soap - no wash - soap...).

Washing with soap removes oils. This is a pretty obvious effect from anyone who's ever tried to clean up oil/grease with soap (ex: dawn).

Rinsing with just hot water distributes oils from the scalp down towards the ends and it removes a little bit of oil in the process.

Rinsing with cooler water is less effective at distributing oils but also loses less oil in the process.

Not washing allows grease/oils (and skin/dander) to build up on the scalp and saturate hair near the scalp.

-----

If you are just rinsing/scrubbing with water, it does a lot relative to not washing at all but there isn't really a comparison when it comes to soap's efficacy at stripping oils/making them semi-water soluble so they can be washed away.


To clarify: in that anecdote, I'm talking about washing hair in shower, with hot water, with no shampoo.


Lol what, just try it ffs. I dont get why people make up such elaborate claims and never bother to test them trivially.

One example - I did ie yesterday shower at gym after workout, after sauna, but didnt have shampoo so just water, cold and warm. Then washed just my hair at home. Hair and skin without any oil in gym, but very different feeling and also behavior of hair when combing. Shampoo makes hair much smoother for example, also less tough / more bendy.


I sadly don’t have enough hair to actually test it myself :( but thanks for sharing your experience


On key difference here is that those mathematician then go through the process of actually proving the theorem. Just having “an intuitive understanding” is never enough, no matter how many times you have been right before.

The author here does not go through that process at all. It just feels like saying: I watch people a lot so I feel like I know what I am talking about, I feel entitled to write a piece about it. Math people have those pieces peer reviewed and experimented upon before they are actually published.


Perhaps she talks to some people and learns something about their (self reported) life? I would imagine this is how these types of intuitions are formed?


Because otherwise tons of people anonymously create api keys with extremely wide scopes for small / low quality apps.

When those inevitably get used for nefarious purposes; Google image suffers as a result.


Yeah! Then those same engineers will notice how much single point of failure that model leads to, and how rigid that is. So they will be looking to leverage the existing much denser, much flexible, more connected and redundant network that exists alongside those rare tracks.

It’s almost like this evolution did not happen before.


Imagine having rails instead of roads, and roads instead of rails. The same argument would apply, only roads would lead to less efficiency overall.


On me it had the opposite effect of what was intended:

I opened the website on non anonymous session safari: it asked my name. Then I opened another new non anonymous window on the same browser: it showed my name as expected. I then opened the same browser in incognito mode: it asked my name again. I then opened chrome (non anonymous) and again it asked my name.

Exactly what I expected to see; everything seems to be working as intended. Anonymization online seems to be working perfectly fine.


> “When I’m on my deathbed, I won’t look back at my life and wish I had worked harder. I’ll look back and wish I spent more time with the people I loved.”

On the other hand; when they interview people and ask them to "give advice to your younger self", I can't count how many times the guy / girl said: "work harder in school".

Ultimately it's all about balance, money absolutely does buy happiness; and so does doing an interesting job. Reach a point where you have enough money that it does not occupy a significant portion of your mind; and work hard enough to reach a position where you don't look at the clock the moment you arrive at your workplace.


When Elon took over; the rules were clearly laid out: buy your checkmark for $7/month (not sure of the price). Pay and you get it; stop paying and you loose it. Everybody knows exactly what it means.

Before that it was: "Someone will give you the checkmark if they like what you say enough and/or if you are deemed 'popular enough' according to an obscure committee; likely a combination of both. But there is a certain threshold above which it does not matter what you way, and you will always be verified". You could loose your checkmark on the whim of some dude who got his latte order wrong in the morning. No one was ever given the rulebook. In fact there was no rulebook. Checkmark just meant "I went to a bar with a Twitter employee and we agreed on a lot of things".

The same thing will happen to Bluesky. The system is akin to how CA and SSL does work with a critical difference. To get an SSL certificate, there is a clear step-by-step guide on how to get it. And after it has been granted it isn't revoked regardless of wether DigiCert agrees with the content of your website.


>When Elon took over; the rules were clearly laid out: buy your checkmark for $7/month (not sure of the price). Pay and you get it; stop paying and you loose it. Everybody knows exactly what it means.

except then he was also randomly giving out checkmarks to people who didn't want them and specifically told him to remove them


> The things that dominate middle class budgets: food [...] have become increasingly unaffordable in recent decades

I tried finding some number to corroborate your claims.

The proportion of food in the American budget has decreased from ~17% to ~13% between the 60's and now. In fact, it has decreased a lot for "at home food" and increased slightly for "dining out food"[1]. Food seems cheaper than ever - on average. The current price of a calorie sufficient diet is now roughly $0.44/day in the US [2] that sounds very low. Between the 60's and today; the average daily supply of calories per person has increased from ~3000 kcal to ~3800 kcal [3]. People eat more than ever - on average.

I really wanna believe you, but aren't you just looking at the past with rose tainted glasses. And if you are young; aren't you making up a past that doesn't even exist ?


Over the period since the 1960s, look at education, medicine, housing, not food.

For food prices, look at the most recent 5-year timescale, where price increases are reported to be on the order of 30% for American consumers. [1]

Yes, that's how proportion works; if thighs like food take a smaller portion of spending, some other things will take a bigger share.

GP comment is cited food as the first item; and decades (not 5 year) as the reference timeframe, so I focused on that. I am sure that by cherry picking both items and timeframe (look at food but only over 5 year; education but only since the 60's; telecommunication but only since the price hike of last week) you can paint a different story, but that's not the point here.


The average inflation-adjusted annual tuition for a 4-year degree has gone from $2843 to $10,892 between 1969 and 2023 in 2023-dollars. [1]

Healthcare spending per capita has gone from $2,151 to $14,570 in the same period in 2023-dollars. [2]

The inflation-adjusted home price index has more than doubled over that period. [3]

Real wages have remained fairly stagnant over these same decades. [4]

At least for eduction this increase can be explained by the simple supply and demand; Americans on average have never been as educated as today. The demand for college degrees and above has skyrocketed; according to the same source as you use [1]. Stuff costs less, so more people put their children through college, so education price goes up; it's the symptom of a good thing.
