As I said, my app is write heavy. So there are several separate processes that constantly write to the database, but of course, often, before writing, they need to read in order to…

Funny how people used to ask "what is a cloud application", and now they ask "what is a local application" :-) Local as in "desktop application on the local machine" where you are …

After 2 years in production with a small (but write heavy) web service... it's a mixed bag. It definitely does the job, but not having a DB server does have not only benefits, but …

Is there feature parity? Strudel might be ahead by now?

It depends very much on the language/server you are using. In Rust, IMO GraphQL is still the best, easiest and fastest way to have my Rust types propagated to the frontend(s) and m…

The answer to the final question in the article is: "Mostly, because the government forbids us from solving this problem". Start a company? That will be 2k for incorporation and 3k…

I have a Rust web project written ~5 years ago. Zero updates until a month ago, also zero problems. A month ago I upgrade the docker file to latest rust, zero problems compiling. C…

> Rust’s complexity is a price you pay once and you reap the rewards forever afterwards This resonated with me. Will use it in the future when I explain why I use Rust for almost e…

I would imagine most of it, because the program in question mostly does parsing and ETL.

Yeah, I just checked in my repository, it was ocamlopt

Just the straight/naive rewrite was ~3 times faster for my benchmark (which was running the program on the real dataset) and then I went down the rabbit hole and optimized it furth…

Yeah, I was that kind of person, then I wrote a real tool that does real work in OCaml... and then I discovered than I am no longer such a person and went to Rust.

Based on how the crypto world works 100% of the time.

I migrated from OCaml to Rust around 2020, haven't looked back. Although Rust is quite a lot less elegant and has some unpleasant deficiencies (lambdas, closures, currying)... and …

Yeah, but the moment that happens they will confiscate/block the funds of the shorters.

Having the power to deny others to mine blocks does not mean that you can obtain the tokens from their wallets. Miners can't sign transactions on users' behalf. You can rewrite all…

You can only do that on centralized exchanges, which would mean that you effectively doxx yourself by shorting. Also the exchange will most probably seize your funds before you are…

If it's only 20%, it's a no-brainer.

We can argue all day what "think" means and whether a LLM thinks (probably not IMO), but at least in my head the threshold for "decide" is much lower so I can perfectly accept that…

Can you elaborate? If you sell the app via a limited company do you have to doxx yourself personally?

> a message bus is kinda integrated in the BEAM runtime or Erlang You have that on a single node. If you need to run more than one node, you will end up inventing your own on top o…

The java runtime is a beast. Even the fact that another runtime is just capable to do a similar thing is impressive, disregard the fact that it might be better. Even being on par m…

SEEKING WORK Location: Cyprus, Bulgaria. Remote, preferably EU +/-4h time zones We are a small, family consultancy. Each of us has more than 15 years of professional experience in …

No, sorry, they are not open source. But they are also not that hard to build. But as far as I know there is no ready solution to build all the boilerplate for you.

I have several apps in production. I employ sqlx, axum, async_graphql, React frontend. So far I don't know any better way of doing it and I have tried all the classic ways like PHP…
