Are you using `walg wal-receive` for streaming? As far as I can tell, that command will wait for the full wal segment before it pushes anything to storage. I don't see any way to s…

Made this game as a testing ground for persistent WebStreams that we recently released at InstantDB. We created the streams to make it easier to build apps that stream data from an…

Carmack is talking about variable reassignment here, which Clojure will happily let you mutate. For example: (let [result {:a 1} result (assoc result :b 2)] ...) He mentions that C…

You have to use the slug from the wiki page. `Jell-O` to `Philosophy` works.

If you want an RSS feed of your YouTube video subscriptions, I made an app for that: https://yt-better-subs.web.app/ I went through quite the hassle to get the app's oauth scopes a…

Here's how we did it at OneGraph (RIP), where we not only upgraded versions without downtime, but we also moved hosting providers from GCP to Aurora without downtime. 1. Set up log…

How do you handle shipping price calculations? Is that also a feature in Stripe's Product Catalogue?

I'm impressed. I asked it "How much is a flight from San Francisco to the rapid & blitz tournament over Christmas?" and it figured out which tournament I was talking about and show…

According to the article, they likely are getting severance. Those affected will gain access to the company’s “generous severance philosophy” and “a talent hub to allow them to opt…

At the end of the video you linked, she accuses the author of The Star Builders of "only briefly mention[ing] the total energy gain and never giv[ing] a number". I had just started…

It's not the benchmark that's unethical. The unethical part is leaving up the original claim without adding a correction or a note that addresses the problems Fastly found with the…

Cloudflare's blog post still says, in bold, "Cloudflare Workers is 196% faster than Fastly’s Compute@Edge based on the time to first byte from the tests we ran on 50 nodes using Ca…

My experience working at tech companies is that the tech lead, or anybody at the company, can post in an internal message board or slack to ask "what's up with this weird clause in…

But I'd bet kentonv was following this one, since he said "until Fatly complained about it" and not "until I read the blog post".

It has been two weeks since Fastly's VP of Eng called out your ToS and errors in your benchmark in her original tweet thread [1]. I would hope that Cloudflare would have a better r…

You can do this with OneGraph ( https://www.onegraph.com ) via our `poll` subscription. Here's an example query that will poll an npm package and send a payload whenever the latest…
