WAL mode makes writes a lot faster, which is sufficient for a bunch of use cases. Writers do still need to wait, but they have to wait for a shorter duration. It's still not the right choice for write-heavy use cases, of course.

I've had the same cheap Logitech M705 mouse at work for over 10 years. It takes two AA batteries that last for around two years with daily use. Cost $30 when I first got it.
They do still sell it but have cheaped out a bit over the years - the scrollwheel is now plastic instead of metal and the sensors aren't as good - but it still has that great battery life.
I don't understand how these newer, fancier mice can't achieve the same thing. I really hate that everything is moving towards built-in batteries. AAs are easy to instantly replace and I have a bunch of Eneloop rechargeable ones.
People that reverse engineer complex modern hardware are probably some of the best developers in the world.
Some mobile networks have spam protection that's enabled automatically.
You could also have a "clean" number, especially if you don't use your phone number anywhere online, haven't answered a spam call before, and nobody used it before you (or the previous user was a long time ago).
Spam callers can't robodial literally every number, so they rely on lists of phone numbers that are known to be good/active, for example if they've answered a spam call before, if the number has been in a data leak, etc.
Yahoo isn't really dead. It's still in the top 20 sites, and Yahoo Mail still has 225 million users,
while charging advertisers more
The major online ad networks like Meta and Google don't actually set a price on most of their ads. It's an auction system. Advertisers enter a bid for how much they're willing to pay for their ads. When serving ads, the system displays the ads that have the highest bid for the user's demographic.
I felt like a grown up once I got my paperless-ngx setup up and running.
I have a Scansnap ix1600 scanner. Everything is automated once I insert a document and click the button to scan it.
- Scanned documents are saved to an SMB share on my home server - it's a built-in feature on the scanner.
- Paperless-ngx is watching that folder and grabs the files.
- Paperless-ai uses AI to add metadata to document (title, tags, correspondent).
For documents I need to keep a physical copy of, I give each document a consecutive ASN (archive serial number) using QR code stickers. When importing the document, paperless-ngx sees the barcode and attached the correct archive number to the document.
If I need to find the physical copy, I first find it in Paperless-ngx, look at the archive number, then look in a folder where the documents are arranged by archive number. Easy.
For backups I use Borgbackup with Borgmatic, to two different storage VPSes (hosted by two different providers in two different regions).
If they just care about one title, why don't they buy just that title?
Just add a co-authored-by line to your commit message to make it look like the AI wrote it.
If the company is only measuring token usage and not actual output, it's more like measuring a carpenter's work based on how many hammers they buy.
Whoever wrote this message definitely knew what they were doing.
