Flexbox -> 1-dimensional layouts
Grid -> 2-dimensional layouts
That being said, I use Flexbox for pretty much everything.
For me its:
Flexbox -> Content first, Layout second.
Grid -> Layout first, Content second.

Humans acquire a significant amount of knowledge (or get trained on) by learning from the work of others. If companies can face legal repercussions for training models on materials from elsewhere, a similar argument could be made for individuals.

Use something like SeaweedFS or Minio etc.
reactor commented on Ask HN: How do you decide a non-fiction book is worth your time? · Posted by u/butterNaN
I have subscribed to a book summary app, which is not anywhere closer to what you get from reading a book, but it will give an idea of what book is worth investing time and money.
There may or may not be a superpower/god. But its none of my (mere mortal) concern. So No.
Anyone know more about the "vacuum" improvements?
To make my database fast, I often have to do a vacuum full on some key tables. Which is basically a freeze all access to the table, and copy byte by byte to a new physical file. So as your data size doubles, the vacuum full time doubles. Have a table that is so big I basically can't vacuum full it anymore (in an acceptable amount of downtime).
As other commenter mentioned, you can use pg_repack. We also had similar issue and we configured it to run every month and it works flawlessly.
Yes, on Ubuntu 22.04, pretty stable.

hard disagree on DX, which part of it do you find better with Quarkus?
Not OP, but as someone who has used Spring quite extensively (6+ yrs) in the past and using Quarkus for all project these days, DX is much better with Quarkus.
Hot reloading (to the extend that change-save-refresh would feel like working with a python/ruby projects), shallow stack traces, less 'magic', , excellent documentation, plethora of modules, less memory footprint, milliseconds start/restart (owing to compile time wiring), first class container support, dev tools, always running tests are few that makes DX with Quarkus amazing.

It's a great question. It's hard to retain the information from so many books and when I looked at the list of books I'd read there were many that I had absolutely no recollection of. And some of them where I just had a vague feeling of how wonderful they were to read and how sad I was that they ended, but no recollection of the plot.
I tried to read as many non-fiction books as I could, but these were almost non-existent in the jails I was housed in. The ones I got sent in about business and languages were a god-send and I find the information I gained from those to be very useful to me; especially the books on Japanese and Arabic which gave me a great grounding in those languages, although you can't easily learn pronunciation from a book!
Thanks for that. I can imagine, if you don't get an avenue to take the learnings from books, it may fade away. Glad that you are out.
