In my part of Europe it’s all in private WhatsApp groups (one for inner family, one for friends, etc)

People are sometimes unkind to the Division Bell, but it contains one of my personal favorites: "Wearing the inside out". Wright's lyrics and vocals (first time since The Dark Side…

Valkey, the Redis fork, is currently sponsored by Ampere, AlmaLinux OS Foundation, Broadcom, DigitalOcean, Memurai, NetApp, Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Canonical, Chainguard, Ericss…

What I dislike about the license change is that by trying to extract an extra dollar from Amazon&Google, the entire community gets hurt in the process. Can I "dnf/apt install redis…

They did a reprint of the original magazine from January 1984, to mark its 40 year anniversary. It can still be purchased online at https://prodavnica.pcpress.rs/issue/339/1 , and …

Right, indeed!

I like the support for custom currencies, as that is an edge case that often pops up. On the other hand, be careful about tying the symbol to the currency, as symbols are locale sp…

There is a middle ground and some common patterns that can help. The address field names are fairly standardized[0] and Google has an open dataset (used by Chrome and Android) desc…

You'll find many case studies about using Clickhouse for this purpose.

In retrospective, I think it's obvious that Go's decision to have package and variable names be in the same namespace was a mistake. It is the main reason why people overuse single…

I am going to be controversial for a hot second, and say that in many ways MySQL is a more advanced and better implemented database at its core. Disclaimer: as a developer I love a…

This looks like a great effort and I am looking forward to trying it out. I am a bit confused by the choice of the LGPL 3.0 license. It requires one to dynamically link the library…

It doesn't have the performance or the features of something like Chi/Gin/Echo, so while it will improve the lives of people who prefer to stick to the stdlib, it probably won't co…

Out of the box multi-master replication is a pretty big one.

Socket activation via systemd[0] is an option, assuming you are fine with certain requests taking a longer time to complete (if they arrive while the service is being restarted). O…

Go isn't perfect either. The author isn't dealing with assets (images anyone?). Go supports embedding assets since 1.16, the author mentions embedfs in the post.

Optional function parameters also deserve a mention. Their absence results in semi-ugly workarounds even in the standard library[1]. [1] https://bojanz.github.io/optional-parameter…

Sputnik V is already in the EU approval pipeline: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-russia-va...

OpenBSD does distribute Apache 2 code (e.g. LLVM), but it's true they're not happy about it due to the patent clause. Apple prefers Apache 2 for its own code (LLVM, CUPS, Swift).

What are the benefits of Snowflake compared to ULID, which already has Rust implementations[1][2]? [1] https://crates.io/crates/ulid [2] https://crates.io/crates/rusty_ulid
