#quack — Public Fediverse posts

Ah yes, another #groundbreaking #update in the "world" of databases, where DuckDB's v2.0 promises to revolutionize...absolutely nothing. 🚀🦆 In a stunning twist, developers are told they can do everything they already could, now with 20% more #quack. 🏆

Paul Rudnick: "If you got sick and were rushed into the emergency room of a hospital,
would you want to look up at your doctor and realize it was Rand Paul?" #quack

The leaflet was shoved through my door 10 minutes ago. It's advertising infusions of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, with a bunch of questionable claims. Is there a standard symbol for a quack I can go and paint on their door?

i actually first encountered those sounds in the game "Hover!" which came on the Windows 95 CD.

a commenter explained they were from a sound library called "The General Series 6000" by Sound Ideas.

i already found the bird calls used in Age of Empires, and i suspect that i will find a fair amount of the sounds used in StarCraft. :D

Some performance tuning (row batching size, schema sharing, streaming) get the ducknng arrow IPC to 30% slower than quack_query at 10 Million rows, our own adaptation of the DuckDB internal application/vnd.duckdb serializer is 20% faster than quack_query ! Even faster over tcp #nng #DuckDB #quack

Some of speed comparison with the recently release DuckDB #quack extension. As expect quite slower over HTTP due to the Arrow IPC conversions overhead. Can reach #quack if Duckdb serialization API become public C API (Raw socket sent much faster than #quack)

"Had #Bhattacharya truly been silenced, nobody would know him."
"Though he never showed sympathy for #COVID’s victims, he produced an overwhelming amount of self-pitying material, bemoaning the fate of his #SocialMedia content. He even took [his] case to the #SupremeCourt [but] lost."
...GUESS WHO SILENCED the study proving (again) that COVID #vaccines work? Same guy.

The meeting announcement Wednesday follows repeated pledges by [#quack] #Health Secy #RFKJr to loosen regulations on peptides, which are often pitched as a quick way to build muscle, heal injuries or appear younger. There’s little research behind those claims & most peptides have NOT been reviewed for #safety by the #FDA.
