  • To build on this (and I also use Postgres, so I'm assuming MySQL/MariaDB are similar), there is almost certainly a metric emitted by the DBs that can tell you how long that lag is between initial write and replica updates. That would be the thing to monitor to detect the specific problem where replication lag creates application lag.

    Also worth mentioning that horizontal scaling can solve some problems, but there are a few major configuration items to check that will improve performance across all the replicas. Off the cuff:

    • Properly index your tables
    • Build on hardware big enough to keep indexed data in memory
    • Don't use the MyISAM engine with MySQL since it has a bunch of performance and locking problems. Upgrade to InnoDB.
    • Optimize your queries. Horizontal scaling won't give you much improvement if you're doing full table scans or something like that. ORMs can produce some pretty ugly SQL sometimes. Consider writing your own queries that are better optimized to make use of your indices.
  • I don't think that's true? The song is all power chords. Verse goes C5/F5/C5/A5 and the chorus is just C5/A5. So the verse doesn't end on the same chord the chorus starts on (C5 vs A5), and the verse doesn't start on the same chord the chorus ends on (A5 vs C5). It would be true to say the chorus and verse start and end on the same chords.

  • The article asks what is the politically neutral answer to the question of whether a trans woman is a woman. I wonder why this is a political question at all. Send like a question for scientists - biologists and sociologists and such. Seems they have achieved something like a consensus on the matter. I don't see anything inherently political about that, except that folks of a certain political bent have made it political. It's not a matter of "what do we do in public policy about trans people" but "fascists refuse to accept trans people in society and have decided to lambast and punish them".

    In case my position isn't obvious, trans people are people and trans rights are human rights. If there wasn't a group of people trying to make them into a second class group of citizens (or a group of "eradicated vermin") we wouldn't be having a political conversation about this at all.

  • I am from the US and joints that I roll have both a wick where the paper rolls up at the end to hold the leaf in and a crutch at the back to hold onto with your fingers. When you buy a preroll at a dispensary, they look like this as well. Where are you that these basic convenience features of pot smoking have not managed to come your way? I've been rolling joints like this since the 90s.

  • If she has the money to do it. Travel is expensive. Sounds like she's already got two kids, too.

    Texas also has a statute that would then open her and anyone who helped her do this to civil liabilities. iirc, anyone can sue her for like 10 grand. Not sure that's been tested yet, but it's at least not something I would want to open myself up to.

    Texas is a fucked up place. I'm glad I got out when I did.

  • Yeah, this is like one of those illusions where you can't tell if you're looking at two people staring at each other or a vase. If you're a leftie, you look at this and go, "Good, based Bernie." If you only consume the mainstream narrative that the Israelis are on the right side of history here and opposition to their campaign or our support for it are heresy, this reads like "Bad Commie Bernie."

    Edit: Just read the article. It quotes Bernie heavily, seems to let him represent his own position. It juxtaposes the Israeli claim that they're not being indiscriminate against some pretty ugly numbers about the dead and displaced. The article reads pretty pro-Bernie to me.
