You can partition your audit/event table by time period and archive old events [1] or you can avoid the records hitting the database in the first place by generating the events els…

I've had a hypothesis for a while that the brain performs compacting garbage collection while it sleeps at night. While it's probably not that simple, seeing that various sibling p…

I just got a System76 Darter Pro yesterday with at least those specs and it was less than $1100. Pretty happy with them so far.

Why should startups backed by powerful institutional capital get more credits from AWS than ones that are bootstrapped and hurting for cash much more?

This type of behavior is why I can never consider GCP. How many people have been burned at this point by Google randomly shutting down something they rely on?

I know Ethereum uses Merkel Trees to store state but this app already has Postgres and I imagine that it would be better architecturally to not write a big blob data structure back…

Feels as though this essay was written by Ned Ludd himself. Software has been constantly commodified and yet the hurdle the market expects you to clear gets higher at the same time…

I whole-heartedly agree and this is why I give money to AWS and Azure will not give any to GCP until the lack of transparency and random product killings stop.

We were quite unhappy with Aurora because of the terrible performance of writes against tables with secondary indices. What does your workload look like?

Too late now, but would it have been useful/possible to go public about it or threaten to talk the media and cause way worse problems for them? Considering that security is their g…

I don't think these are necessarily contradictory. With pytorch-transformers, you can use a full-blown BERT model like the best in the world. And yet, to make this novel and defens…

FAANG will need to decide if they're platforms or publishers. They currently moderate the communities, albeit selectively, while enjoying the protections granted by being a platfor…

Message queues achieving the rate you said are typically not durable.

AWS managed services are usually subpar. We run our own ES clusters for this very reason.

AR is the gold standard. AR + extended gem + Arel covers almost 100% of the problem space. For everything else, use views or set returning functions and wrap them up in AR.

It's widely accepted that olympic swimmers are more talented a person you'd randomly find at your community pool, but for some reason there's strong resistance to the idea that acr…

The index related issues themselves should be a show stopper. I couldn't believe it until I ran into other people saying the same thing, but having secondary indices on your tables…

Our experience with pg aurora was awful. I cannot recommend it to anyone. Our primary would run out of memory and fail over every few hours and all amazon support had to say is tha…

We have busy tables with lots of record churn some which receive 2000 xacts/s. I’ve found that they will never shrink down until you do a full vacuum but regular vacuum is good at …

QL is a package manager. I'm talking ecosystem/libraries. Use QL to install postmodern and tell me how you feel about its time zone support.

This is the challenge I have as well. I want to use Lisp for a lot of things but the reality is that parsing PDFs, tagging parts of speech, and then throwing it all into Postgres/E…

As the author of several OAuth 1.0 libraries ( https://github.com/icheishvili/pyoauth , https://github.com/icheishvili/phoauth ), I would like to see a completed spec. The only rea…

Thank you for pointing this out. I found it very difficult to keep reading with an objective mindset once I hit this gem.
