I agree it seems more common. However back-up time and data movement should be equivalent if you follow the algo steps. According to chat GPT the forward delta approach is common b…

Exciting! Yes, the deduplicated approach is superior, if you can accept requiring dedicated software to read the data or can rely on a file system that supports it (like Unix with …

Nice to realize that this boils down to copy on write. Makes it easier to explain.

Great resource in general, will look into it if it describes how to implement this backup scheme

This sounds more like a downside of single site backups

You can see in step 2 and 3 that no full copy is written every time. It's only move operations to create the delta, and copy of new or changes files, so quite minimal on IO.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Knowing that there is a working product using this approach gives me confidence. I'm working on a simple backup app for my personal/fam…

In this algo nothing is rewritten. A diff between source and latest is made, the changed or deleted files archives to a folder and the latest folder updated with source, like r syn…

I recently came up with a backup strategy that seems so simple I assume it must already exist — but I haven’t seen it in any mainstream tools. The idea is: The latest backup (times…

Nosql doesn't solve the schema migration problem. It just means you don't formalize your schema. But your code will implicitly require a certain schema anyway. Changing the schema …

Nice, thanks for sharing. Curious what your motivation was for making it. Perhaps include a "why" at the start of the repo. As evidenced by some comments, depending on whether the …

Interesting take. Haven't heard the argument before that it saves server costs. Not convinced that this is the case, but perhaps, for a google. Reflecting, I suppose that businesse…

that's the point, glad you understood

Lot of bashing of this idea, not sure why. The entire industry has shifted from "web developer" to frontend/backend developers. What used to be a web developer is now called full s…

A thought experiment on a new AI assisted programming paradigm. Your ideas are welcome.

some tasks a developer might need to do besides just building the application: - copying a database from production to local for bug reproduction/fixes - inserting seed-data into t…

I guess going with a parameter count that matches existing models makes it easier to compare benchmarks. Perhaps there is another particular reason like required memory, but moment…

Quick prototype, but already very useful! Use with your own OpenAPI Key. Never google a CLI command again :-)

This reads like an AI generated nonsense article.

The difference between hiding a particular problematic tweet and all tweets of an account is important though. It seems Elon refers to the former, while shadow banning refers to th…

I love Github. It's been the best thing that happened to promote open-source software collaboration since the invention of version control. Without a centralized place to find and …

Interesting to hear your experience. I've been using it for over a year, and I've come to appreciate the (modest) productivity boost that it's given me, to the point that I feel $1…

Hi, nice cheatsheet! I've published it on DataStack, where anyone can contribute improvements (like adding columns or corrections). https://datastack.net/datastack/usb I can transf…
