Exists is a useful tool that you should certainly know how to use. Whether or not it's faster than distinct depends on the rest of the query. I've optimized queries where distinct …

Cool project! But, I wonder how long can a project like this use a Pokemon as their namesake and mascot before you hear from nintendo's lawyers?

Random and round robin partitioning are the configurations being discussed. The main point of the article is that low message volumes mean you can get unlucky and end up with idle …

The linked article says, in reference to Oracle relocating its HQ to Austin: > Oracle, which was founded in Santa Clara, Calif., in 1977, later had its headquarters in Redwood City…

The main difference is that you wouldn’t instead drive the whole way instead once you find out the risk. But people do drive the same places they fly

`str(queryset.query)` does not give you executable SQL. Query parameters are not escaped or encoded in that representation of the query. That escaping/interpolation of query parame…

If you use postgres, psycopg provides `cursor.mogrify(query, params)` which returns the actual query that will be executed . For example: cursor.mogrify(*queryset.query.sql_with_pa…

On the other hand, these things see a lot more annual miles than consumer vehicles so the payback period should be shorter. I agree though, that probably it would require some kind…

I think the suggestion is that a spreadsheet is the not the right tool for the job. There is very likely value in dedicated genetics-specific software, even in the form of an excel…

Based on the paper Dang linked, it appears that epoxy is involved in all queries to all data stores it coordinates

Does Epoxy use postgres' own transaction ids across datastores? If not, does it implement its own "transaction id horizon" like postgres has so that you can assume all transactions…

I’m not an industry expert either, but ear plugs don’t block sound taking other paths to the ear drum like bone conduction. The mix knob on this limiter can’t be turned to 100%

The blog post mentions that partitions are too low-level an abstraction to program against. Does that mean WarpStream doesn't use partitions? Do you provide any ordering guarantees…

And this is even true for some more exotic indexes where you might not expect it like exclusion constraints with gist. It’s much more expensive to maintain with a range as the firs…

As an American I can confirm that, not only do we say “4th of July,” both phrasings are in common use for any date of the year. March 5th is more commonly heard in USA than 5th of …

One could argue that for some content, how to style it is just a suggestion anyway. Ie you could think of “our style guide for text content can be found at this address” as metadat…

Yeah - It does seem like the author is trying to apply too many lessons learned from managing computers and software to managing people.

Agreed, 70 USD probably has a healthy margin. But, I also value that it's been calibrated, tested for reliability, and is already designed/assembled.

Agreed, I use the cheapest monitor on this page (currently $69 USD) – a little awkward to change the settings, but runs on USB power, monitors CO2 and temperature, and beeps when y…

K9s - https://k9scli.io/ Terminal (ncurses?) Kubernetes client Bash “wait” command to do multiple things in parallel without extra _stuff_. Eg ( dothing.sh & slow_stuff.sh & more.s…

Those of us born in 1986 (in New York at least) had neither form of drills

Lots of people have already written programs in Python. Now their programs will run a little faster without any work. It’s like the barista saying, “coffee’s on me today.”

I live in Austin, and I frequently have to tell people I know, especially people from New York, that hardly anyone here talks the way they expect (I lived in New York for a long ti…
