Any chance the first result was an ad? Those are definitely a popular phishing distribution mechanism, so getting your parents an adblocker could help

We have a similar check in our Haskell codebase, after running into two issues: 1. Nested database transactions could exhaust the transaction pool and deadlock 2. Same as you descr…

One thing to add about performance: it's also pretty easy in Postgres to index only non-soft deleted data. I think this is likely unnecessary for most use cases and is mostly a RAM…

This might stem from the domain I work in (banking), but I have the opposite take. Soft delete pros to me: * It's obvious from the schema: If there's a `deleted_at` column, I know …

Oh good find, the link going through Mailgun as a redirect is a recent regression. We have a PR to fix that going live soon. That said, our security team and I agree there is no se…

I think database schema docs are really valuable, so much so that I added tests that require docs for each table and column. But I still got asks that the docs needed more informat…

100% open rate on transactional emails feels too high to me. Something like an e-commerce purchase might kick off multiple emails (purchase made, shipped, arrived), none of which t…

It’s pretty common to use ad network mediators, which try multiple ad networks for an ad, to optimize for using high earning ones first, and falling back to others in case the firs…

Just as one data point, Mercury has hired maybe ~120 Haskell engineers in the last 4 years. Some of that is reflected in these job posts but we definitely hired a lot more than we …

If anyone from GitHub is reading, any idea if the double commit bug the merge queue had has been fixed? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/36568 (This was an issue for u…

It’s also a huge vector for actual phishing, especially because google ads doesn’t use puny code, so it’s easy to buy ads for sites that differ by just a diacritic

Does anyone else get an infinite redirect loop visiting on mobile safari? Edit: it’s fixed by requesting the desktop website.
