"Scar Tissues Make Relationships Wear Out"

04/26/2103. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS142.

This is my most touchy-feely thought for the weekend. Here’s the basic idea: It’s really hard to build relationships that last for a long time. If you haven’t discovered this, you will discover this sooner or later. And it's hard both for personal relationships and for business relationships. And to me, it's pretty amazing that two people can stay married for 25 years without killing each other.

[Laughter]

> But honestly, most professional relationships don't last anywhere near that long. The best bands always seem to break up after 2 or 3 years. And business partnerships fall apart, and there's all these problems in these relationships that just don't last. So, why is that? Well, in my view, it’s relationships don't fail because there some single catastrophic event to destroy them, although often there is a single catastrophic event around the the end of the relation

# This is an improved Django Paginator that makes Admin list view pages load much faster.

# You can tell if you need this if you see a big slow COUNT() query
# in the django_debug_toolbar SQL panel on every admin list view.

# It improves performance by avoiding running a potentially costly DISTINCT query to
# count total rows on every pageload. Instead, when possible (when there are no filters)
# it does a significantly simpler SELECT COUNT(*) tablename to get the total.

# Installs and configures fancontrol to automatically run Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) fans harder & lower temperatures.
# 
# Context: Unifi equipment typically runs *very* hot from the factory unless you customize it.
# I don't want my hard drives to run as hot as they let them get by default (55ºC+), because it shortens lifespan (ideal temp is ~35-45C).
