While there are a huge number of tablet options out there, if you’re looking for a bargain, then there’s really only one good option for you today

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit. Back in the 00’s, if you wanted to move money between arbitrary people over the Internet, you realistically had one option: PayPal. Either that, or live in some futuristic utopia like the EU where banks consider "send money to people" to be core functi

How often is the query plan optimal?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-11 11:19:27

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often. Consider the following chart, with durations of a simple SELECT query with a range condition. The condition is varied to match different fracti

Pro-level game controllers have been becoming more mainstream over the past several years, offering gamers a host of new features not found on the controllers that came with their systems. These features include extra mappable buttons, swappable gamepads and other customizability options.

June 30, 2025 Caching is an Abstraction, not an Optimization I've always been told that caching is a tool to make software faster. That, given some careful considerations to consistency, caching makes it so that when you want to read a given piece of data, you don't have to go all the way back to some backend database or API server or SSD and can instead just read from some faster location like memory for the same data.
