I was almost about to suggest the OP to move to a small town in India. Here he/she will be fighting for privacy though ;). What a contrasting culture! For humans at least seeing ot…

May be, but over 6 years of using Redis with bare minimum setup, I have never lost any data and my use case happens to be queuing intermediate results, so durability won't be an is…

I have been doing this for at least a decade now and it is a great pattern, but think of an ETL pipeline where you fetch a huge JSON payload, store it in the database and then tran…

Not related to the content itself, but people using Psychology terminologies for wrong behavior is not acceptable.

The one use case where a DB backed queue will fail for sure is when the payload is large. For example, you queue a large JSON payload to be picked up by a worker and process it, th…

If Python's standard library and its backward incompatible changes are the only problem, then Ruby will be a great replacement. The language is terse and the standard library is be…

I'm wondering the same, but honestly I have a soft corner for the old way of doing things as well, and I think it stems from it. The performance numbers seem to show how bad it is …

Not the author of parent comment, but from the description it looks like it is Jolla Tablet, which was crowdfunded and the delivery got delayed. After an year or so, some of the fu…

It is funny, how being a corporate-Rails programmer taught me this early in my career. Because building Ruby from source was the only way you could install latest Ruby versions (us…

I don't have a solution for the performance problem. But for the camelCase to snake_case conversion, I can see potential solutions. 1. If you are using axios or other fetch based l…

I have rarely seen a car becoming unusable after 15 years. I have seen taxis with more than 400,000 KM on the odo. Not that they never had issues, but they are pretty much usable i…

I have this idea of creating a nano/micro bot of sorts that will replace hair root, and grow hairs using the nutrients (chemical) available in the blood stream or applied topically…

I loved Symbian, because it was hackable. It had mShell and PyS60 that gave direct access to everything the system had. I remember backing up text messages and contacts using mShel…

May be, but moving to Python did not take anything away. It brought more joy that you have more control over things like, on which server to run the migration and choose UAT or pro…

I have tried this path of not trying to DRY everything, but has regretted and refactored to a more DRY approach eventually. The cost of remembering to fix/alter the logic everywher…

This is great. We tried ansible and gave up as it was difficult to keep configuration DRY and annoying to create conditions with no control structure. It was before ansible 2, so p…

Is it possible to extract different patterns of text from a PDF document? For example, paragraphs, code blocks, code inlined in paragraphs etc? I tried tesseract but it recognises …

Location: Bangalore, India Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Depending on the location and compensation Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Python, React.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, SQLite, R…

This is great. I had been long looking for something like this in Ruby eco-system. I worked on a Rails app which interacted with a bunch of micro-services and I missed the async-aw…

Except, increasing the threads increases the memory usage proportionally. From what I have seen, the memory won't be released back and it keeps increasing until the process gets OO…

I like this idea. I have been recently worried about the hacker unfriendly nature of the phones as well. It is frustrating to go through a series of painful processes like unlockin…

Is there any technology/start up trying to cure baldness?

I too believed that my procrastination problem was ADHD. Almost everything I read about ADHD symptoms agreed on to my behaviour. This went on for like 8 years and one day I decided…

I put up something like this here https://github.com/rajaravivarma-r/focus-dns . You can give this a try.
