I was a huge N9 fanboy. Wish I didn't sell mine, and that Microsoft didn't kill it :)

Happy 9950X user here. Super happy with it, everything is crazy fast. Not a gamer, according to internet and benchmarks the extra cost is only worth it for gaming workloads. I use …

Kotlin is a much better Java so that's what we use :) I have a friend who maintains a gazillion JVM based apps for the Norwegian tax authorities and he's a Kotlin skeptic. He's pre…

With TOTP you have a private key that you don't transmit over the wire, as opposed to your password, so security is improved even though the password and TOTP is in the same vault.…

Jepsen is awesome, on so many levels!

> Without deep pockets for high-RAM servers I just got a dedicated server on Hetzner to test out some things. It's $70/month with 64gb RAM and a CPU that builds a complex C++ thing…

> I still think there’s elements of an amazing product here Interesting framing. The people behind Clojure and Datomic aren't known for being amazing at scaling and shipping produc…

Yes - if I understand you correctly :) Datomic writes opaque blobs of index data to existing storage, such as Postgres or dynamodb or a handful of others. But you can't query that …

I've used Datomic from both Kotin and Groovy (!) I presented on Datomic at KotlinConf too, with some live coding starting around the 31 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…

It's free now - but I suppose 10+ years of being both closed source and paid didn't do wonders for adoption. What part needs a cluster in your experience? The Datomic deployments I…

Statistically (and from experience) I'm probably the weird one here, but I cannot fathom why Datomic isn't more popular. I get that postgres is a good default in many cases, and I …

Predictions and pre vs post accident is an interesting subject. Which bridge that is currently in operation should be closed next? (Not a dunk on the article, which brilliantly add…

FWIW, I recently used Wordpress as a headless CMS, with a Next.js frontend that gets pinged by webhooks from wordpress to invalidate caches etc. I haven't really found any headless…

And apparently the effect is much more jarring in VR - which is why Valve solved it for Half Life: Alyx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_MuWmYKGIc

I hope we get bootcamp on Apple silicon, so we can see if it's the hardware or the OS that's causing most of the trouble :D

Good to know! I almost wonder if my specific laptop is broken in some way. Either that, or I'm overly sensitive to these things. And the Venn diagram overlap of people who often us…

After switching from an 11th gen Intel Dell XPS, to a M1 Macbook, I resist returning to PC laptops (even though I prefer Windows) until someone confirms that newer Ryzen and Intel …

I would love to see analysis on the trade offs with KYC and AML. How much does it actually help in fighting crime? Vs. all of the lost opportunities due to all of the red tape and …

No wonder Apple has been adamant in keeping 3rd party devs away from executable memory :)

This is probably a dumb comment, but have you looked into using WSLg? I.e. also run the GUI inside WSL? The integration between Win and WSLg is pretty seamless!

I'm not sure if I even trust Intel/Windows at this point. The m1 macs are just so much snappier in absolutely every way imaginable than my old 11th gen Dell. My old PC would some t…

I have a similar relationship with gaming. BOTW and Dark Souls are my favorite games of all time, but I've never gotten around to finish them.

Interesting link, thanks for posting! Datomic's covering indexes are heavily based on their built-in ordering, and doesn't really have much flexibility in different ways to sort an…
