I went a similar route (Postgres for CRUD and Elastic for searching) and also underestimated the effort of keeping the two datastore in sync as well as underestimated the effort in…

The documentation that Microsoft puts out regarding its "multi-master" features basically advises against using "multi-master" mode and leveraging the Flexible Single Master Operat…

Does NSFL mean "Not Safe For Life"? I wasn't familiar with this term before and have never seen content labeled with it.

Do you think this article describing a better name for ADHD as Variable Attention Stimulus Trait or VAST [1] addresses the concerns you bring up? [1] https://www.additudemag.com/at…

Can you please expand on this a bit more? I live in Colorado and saw virtually no change when looking for a new job inside and outside of the state last year. I did run across a fe…

I see your points and understand the frustration. The minor changes over the years haven't bothered me too much. What really messed with me was when the commit pop-up (with diffs) …

I have had similar experiences, however, it's important to be specific: the NMCI contract ended in 2010 and DoN moved to the Continuity of Services Contract where we bought service…

I agree that military IT has been atrocious. I disagree that NMCI was "damn near treasonous levels of awful." NMCI was a large, Department of the Navy (DoN) -wide contract that had…

OP here. This find was a tiny joy in my day. The article was from 1998 and the page appears to be untouched by all the "upgrades" in HTML. I love this...image maps, light HTML, tab…

The ways the research team engaged the study participants over 23 years is admirable, creative, and fascinating to understand.

Can you elaborate? Does this mean that your landlord reduces your rent each year?

Many of the ski resort companies do offer housing, which is great. There are two primary issues with that at the moment: not enough housing and, the bigger one, when your housing i…

My partner has lived in Crested Butte for 18 years and I just came back from a weekend there. Restaurant prices are already high and each one has "help wanted" signs out front beca…

It would be very interesting to see a consumer-oriented ARM SoC from one of the other main manufacturers. I doubt that will happen, however. Their entire business is based on being…

I disagree with this perspective. I think it's important to recognize that the M1 is a System on a Chip (SoC), not simply a CPU. Comparing the Apple M1 to "mid-range 8-core AMD des…

Be curious; learn it. Figure out pros/cons for yourself. You'll have more breadth of knowledge, more depth in specific areas, and will likely make better architecture choices in th…

Read @leerob's answer first. Additionally, the notion of "forcing" CSR might be a misnomer. The way I understand it, NextJS always prefers CSR; the server renders HTML on first pag…

That'll be nice!!

Yes, NextJS does the same. After re-reading my comment, I don't think I was clear: our reasons for moving to NextJS were the two mentioned, not because it was less complicated than…

Not the OP nor the post's author. We have a similar stack (React + NextJS + TypeScript + Mobx) but use a traditional REST API using Django Rest Framework. There are some interestin…

Wow, this is fantastic--congratulations! Are you able to make money transfers free for the account owners? This problem set reminds me that The Philippines has a similar problem wi…

This is fascinating. This reminds me of a book I read about John Boyd [1] who fought the Air Force to develop theorems about aircraft performance, namely the Energy-Manueverability…

Thanks for these links. Unrelated to ClickHouse, it was interesting to read about BrytlytDB--I'd never heard of it before. Essentially a PostgreSQL DB that uses GPUs.
