We went this path: pg -> peerdb -> clickhouse replica, then pg -> another pg with pg_clickhouse extension -> clickhouse This way we keep querying without changing the query languag…

It's great, but it's not incremental like git, e.g. you do need to make a full backup periodically, unfortunately. I didn't understand that, and after 5 months of usage caught my b…

We're now migrating to React, but have some very large Elm projects still in prod. The biggest thing for me from practical perspective was to "freeze" some pieces of DOM to be guar…

I was using TimescaleDB some very long time ago, things have changed quite a lot since (it's now even named differently). In my current setup I was thinking on doing both: upgradin…

Pure by default, type classes (traits), no inheritance, type level lifetime computation. It's not only more functional it's much more type-safe and closer to Haskell in spirit

Most of my team's development happens on beefy desktop machine in incus containers per dev+project (so you run yourname-projname-dev). It has its own tailscale inside so you can op…

That's exactly what I do with Chrome, use it for Google Meet and some websites that work best in Chrome (heavy apps like Figma or whatever). 99% it's Firefox.

I use Chrome because at Google Meet it renders a nice separate window with mute/unmute controls as you switch to another tab and screen share. Curious if Google plans to allow othe…

I've spent long time writing Haskell and now write Rust professionally, so let me tell you something. The stuff where you really want to "program in types" lives beyond Haskell, in…

> runST :: (forall s. ST s a) -> a > The rank-2 type (that is, the type s is scoped within the parenthesis and can't escape) of runST ensures that the mutable references created in…

What you cannot do is compile-time safety guarantees, and in languages like Rust type system isn't strong enough to do some advanced compile-time guarantees (via types). So no, you…

I was about to pay him, just maybe not this time, since sublime 2...

Never thought of Zed as Sublime replacement, but now that you've mentioned – why not? I use Sublime only as blazingly fast temp note taking that doesn't lose them on exit, but I se…

The worst one is password based login it enables

Did you try Incus? Gives you VM-like experience in a container

I just realized that `apt install emacs-nox` is a great editor in containers and VMs. I just have to disable it every damn time (for regular and root user). Defaults would be bette…

By default I mean whatever you get by doing `sudo apt-get install emacs-nox` I disagree about "tough". Emacs has changed for the better in new releases quite drastically in the las…

They are hostile to me proposing a better (IMO) default

I was proposing to make default where those files are not created, since Emacs is actually surprisingly great out of the box with no configuration, except for this "little" thing. …

It's a very different experience: - I already have tmux launched, if ssh drops – I can continue - I don't have to match windows to ssh sessions -- just have them in my tmux

I do too, it’s just that I’ve realised that emacs-nox is awesome container / vm editor out of the box, this backup thing is the only most annoying part (and Ubuntu 22.04 emacs pack…

Yes I’ve added this to hundreds of containers and vms at this point (setq make-backup-files nil)

> — Sensible file handling: backups and auto-saves in a cache/ directory, recentf for recent files, clean buffer naming with uniquify It's crazy to me how out of the box when you e…

Web browsing modern websites like Github (or some worse ones)

What I would love to see is "tig" replacement that is: - even faster, especially if you have couple thousand files and just want to press "u" for some time and see them very quickl…
