That's possible, but unlock doesn't work after death.

Don't use LLMs except for the most menial things. Get as much practice in creating various things. Study expert-level books on related subjects. Foster your creativity in other areas too (i.e. writing, drawing, music). Don't pass up the chance to work with veteran developers; be ready for that opportunity when it comes.


Database systems lock pages when writing to them, to maintain integrity. Using 1GB pages would cause excessive blocking in many if not most transactional databases.


In database engines that use page locks, the locked page size can be different from the file/mapped/allocated page sizes. If you still have excessive locking while using smaller page locks, there are other ways to reduce contention as well, such as CoW to protect concurrent reads, deferred write-merging to assist concurrent writes, and the storage equivalent of RCU.


I don't think hardware page size has to match database page size. It would if Postgres was mmap'ing it. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-prese... says the database page size is 8KB by default.


You might want a lawyer's help to get that person to assist. Perhaps through an agreement not to sue for past wrongs, and maybe with a payment.


It's not too late to take on a daring, creative project that stretches reasonable resource limitations.

It's pretty simple. Get the Air if for yourself. Get the Pro if for work or if you want a better screen. Get the iPad for kids.


How about "JahScript" since it is the lord of the scripting languages?


I think this would violate the second commandment of the Decalogue.


Maybe he didn't have the stick-and-rudder skills needed to ace that emergency; he's not like Sullenberger. But he prioritized saving his own life over that plane, and that's the real, unspoken problem.


You shouldn't be flying an F-35B if you can't fly it without the HUD (assuming functional flight controls).


There are no steam gauge backup instruments in the F-35 and there is no HUD either, everything relies on the HMDS and the MFD. If the MFD happened to not work, that would be fatal because (almost) everything depends on it because it's like a almost like a Tesla console. GFL piloting an F-35 without an MFD in IMC.

I took my own passport photo with my mirrorless camera, and a whiteboard as the background. It took a while to get it right, with no bright spots on the background and now shadows. It was accepted.


A tip for 10 years from now: take the picture with diffuse backlighting and you can easily blow out the background completely. For example, a sheer curtain in front of an outdoor window is just about perfect.


Ten years from now, hopefully you won’t have to be taking and printing your own passport photos. I haven’t done that in at least a decade, maybe two, in Europe. I go to the office that handles it and there’s a machine there that takes your photo.


The system here is simple, I just paid the 9,90 for photo, it is directly uploaded to the police and I am texted a code. I log on their system, put in the code. And pay. Passport is delivered to pickup location near me in week or so... Only issue is the signature and fingerprints, have to reserve time early or wait in line.


Here it’s simpler, the same machines handles everything. You make the appointment, go there, and done. Then it’s just the pick up.


Here it's simpler, you fill out the form on your phone, take a picture on your phone and then the passport arrives in the post. Then you eventually sign it after a bored border official passes comment.


Why go to the office when you can take a selfie with your phone and order your passport online?
