Does not happen every time, only some times. Can't figure out why. Usually happens when has suspended for a longer time.
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+bug/1946303 sounds like a likely report, Nvidia driver version 470, but can't find those error messages anywhere. The last line of:once was:which is when sleep starts.
journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1PM: suspend entry (deep)This suggests that it is not a video bug then, seems that it is not waking up at all? Gotta try to SSH into it. OK. I did SSH into it, and that was fine, so it is just the video that won't start.
PM: suspend exitbugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1949977 is another possible bug, based on kernel version. I'm running 5.13, which is one of the failing versions on the report. Can't find any interesting dmesg though.
In another crash:had the following interesting lines:and there was a corresponding

Allow us to determine with good approximation in a multi-electron atom which electron configuration have more energy. It is a bit like the Aufbau principle, but at a finer resolution.
Note that this is not trivial since there is no explicit solution to the Schrödinger equation for multi-electron atoms like there is for hydrogen.
For example, consider carbon which has electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p2.

changeColumnmigrations do on delete cascades of other tables. SQLite does not have change column statements, so they have to drop and recreate tables, but they don't temporarily remove cascades, so you lose data: stackoverflow.com/questions/62667269/sequelize-js-how-do-we-change-column-type-in-migration/70486686#70486686 - associations require full explicit index construction: stackoverflow.com/questions/39651853/how-to-create-join-table-with-foreign-keys-with-sequelize-or-sequelize-cli

To run examples on a specific database:All examples can be tested on all databases with:
./index.jsor./index.js l: SQLite./index.js p: PostgreSQL. You must manually create a database calledtmpand ensure that peer authentication works for it
cd sequelize
./testOverview of the examples:
- nodejs/sequelize/index.js: a bunch of basic examples
- nodejs/sequelize/update.js: This file is also where we are storing our expression-foo for now, e.g. how to do stuff like
col1 + col2. Such knowledge can however be used basically anywhere else however, e.g. inASorWHEREclauses, not just inUPDATE. - nodejs/sequelize/count.js: a simplified single-table count example. In practice, this will be usually done together with JOIN queries across multiple tables. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/22627258/how-does-group-by-works-in-sequelize/69896449#69896449
- nodejs/sequelize/date.js: automatic date typecasts
- nodejs/sequelize/like.js: LIKE
- nodejs/sequelize/camel_case.js: trying to get everything in the database camel cased, columns starting with lowercase, and tables starting with uppercase. The defaults documented on getting started documentation do uppercase foreign keys, and lowercase non-foreign keys. It's a mess.
- nodejs/sequelize/ignore_duplicates.js: ignore query on unique violation with
ignoreDuplicates: truewhich does SQLiteINSERT OR IGNORE INTOor PostgreSQLON CONFLICT DO NOTHING. Closely related Upsert versions:- Upsert
- nodejs/sequelize/upsert.js:
.upsertselects the conflict column automatically by unique columns. Both SQLite and PostgreSQL doINSERT INTO ON CONFLICT. PostgreSQL usesRETURNING, which was added too recently to SQLite: www.sqlite.org/lang_returning.html - nodejs/sequelize/update_on_duplicate.js:
.bulkCreate({}, { updateOnDuplicate: ['col1', col2'] }. Produces queries analogous to.upsert. This method is cool because it can upsert multiple columns at once. But it is annoying that you have to specify all fields to be updated one by one manually. - stackoverflow.com/questions/29063232/how-to-get-the-id-of-an-inserted-or-updated-record-in-sequelize-upsert/72092277#72092277
- stackoverflow.com/questions/55531860/sequelize-bulkcreate-updateonduplicate-for-postgresql
- Upsert
- nodejs/sequelize/inc.js: demonstrate the
incrementmethod. In SQLite, it produces a statement of type:UPDATE `IntegerNames` SET `value`=`value`+ 1,`updatedAt`='2021-11-03 10:23:45.409 +00:00' WHERE `id` = 3 - nodejs/sequelize/sync_alter.js: illustrates

- nodejs/sequelize/validation.js: is handled by a third-party library: github.com/validatorjs/validator.js. They then add a few extra validators on top of that.The

- nodejs/sequelize/indent_log.js: stackoverflow.com/questions/34664853/sequelize-composite-unique-constraint
- association examples:
- nodejs/sequelize/one_to_many.js: basic one-to-many examples.
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many.js: basic many-to-many examples, each user can like multiple posts. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/22958683/how-to-implement-many-to-many-association-in-sequelize/67973948#67973948
- ORDER BY include:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_custom_table.js: many-to-many example, but where we craft our own table which can hold extra data. In our case, users can like posts, but likes have a integer weight associated with them. Related threads:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_same_model.js: association between a model and itself: users can follow other users. Related:
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_same_model_super.js
- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_super.js: "Super many to many": sequelize.org/master/manual/advanced-many-to-many.html This should not exist and shows how bad this library is for associations, you need all that boilerplate in order to expose certain relationships that aren't otherwise exposed by a direct
hasManywith implicit join table.
- nested includes to produce queries with multiple JOIN:
- nodejs/sequelize/nested_include.js: find all posts by users that a given user follows. Answers: stackoverflow.com/questions/42632943/sequelize-multiple-where-clause/68018083#68018083
- nodejs/sequelize/nested_include_super.js: like nodejs/sequelize/nested_include.js but with a super many to many. We should move this to nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_super.js.
- two relationships between two specific tables: we need to use
as:to disambiguate them- nodejs/sequelize/many_to_many_double.js: users can both follow and like posts
- nodejs/sequelize/one_to_many_double.js: posts have the author and a mandatory reviewer
- hooks
- internals:
- nodejs/sequelize/common.js: common utilities used across examples, most notably:
- to easily setup different DBRM
- nodejs/sequelize/min_nocommon.js: to copy paste to Stack Overflow
- nodejs/sequelize/min.js: template for new exapmles in the folder
- nodejs/sequelize/common.js: common utilities used across examples, most notably:
Transaction retries are inevitable, as some sQL isolation levels
Doesn't seem to have any simple built-in mechanism?
Very raw. Easy to understand. Relatively well organiezd. But also very buggy at 3ab8d9f849a1cdf2985a8d123b1893f0fd4e79ab: github.com/Varun-Hegde/Conduit_NodeJS/issues/3, I just can't trust it. There must be several helper libraries that would greatly DRY up the repetitive CRUD. Ciro hates the style :-) 4 space indents, no space after commas, no semicolon. Not based on github.com/gothinkster/node-express-realworld-example-app which is essentially one of the reference implementations, so from scratch apparently, which is a bad sign.

Ubuntu 22.04 build just worked, nice! Much feels much cleaner than the Micro Bit C setup:

make -jThen we install the programs just like any other UF2 but plugging it in with BOOTSEL pressed and copying the UF2 over, e.g.:Note that there is a separate example for the W and non W LED, for non-W it is:
cp pico_w/blink/picow_blink.uf2 /media/$USER/RPI-RP2/cp blink/blink.uf2 /media/$USER/RPI-RP2/Also tested the UART over USB example:You can then see the UART messages with:

Superconducting qubits are good because superconductivity is macroscopic by 
Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16Superconducting qubits are regarded as promising because superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum phenomena of Bose Einstein condensation, and so as a macroscopic phenomena, it is easier to control and observe.
This is mentioned e.g. in this relatively early: physicsworld.com/a/superconducting-quantum-bits/. While most quantum phenomena is observed at the atomic scale, superconducting qubits are micrometer scale, which is huge!
Physicists are comfortable with the use of quantum mechanics to describe atomic and subatomic particles. However, in recent years we have discovered that micron-sized objects that have been produced using standard semiconductor-fabrication techniques – objects that are small on everyday scales but large compared with atoms – can also behave as quantum particles.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
