    Cool! More digging to do. I used ALARM to build some rpi images, it worked really well but alas we ended up going back to the base rpi os (Debian) due to the rolling release schedu…

    How does this compare to https://archlinuxarm.org/ ? I'm surprised to not see a reference to this prior art in the article.

    Thanks for sharing your workflow. My question is about why two databases on the same server would need two separate postgres instances.

    Comment #47837276

    Yeah, that's the one. My use case is largely for local development, so the active connections thing isn't a limiter for me.

    Yes, that's what I'm referring to. You're still making the assumption in this comment: why does my 2nd (cloned) database need a separate postgres instance? One postgres server can …

    I’ve done experiments using BTRFS and ZFS for local Postgres copy-on-write. You don’t need anything but vanilla pg and a supported file system to do it anymore; just clone the data…

    Yeah, I understand it's hard to find the balance here. I'd imagine you feel the need to ship at the same time as writing about it. For me, the post you shared in your reply as well…

    The idea is interesting, but have some more respect for your potential readers and actually write the post. There’s so much AI sales drivel here it’s hard to see what’s interesting…

    Contrary to some of the other anecdotes in this thread, I've found automated code review to discover some tricky stuff that humans missed. We use https://www.cubic.dev/

    I find their SQL database’s latency to be absolutely unusable, though I haven’t tried in a few months. Otherwise I agree, great free tiers for what I’ve used it for.

    Looks good! I might have missed it but it would be helpful to have a link to the jujutsu home page in your README.md.

    Great writing style and articulation of thought! That was a fun read

    DRF-spectacular is an okay choice here, you have to manage consistency with return types yourself but the docs and customization options are well done.

    Can anyone recommend a guide for full stack devs that have mastered other stacks (e.g. django) and want to learn how to use rails correctly?

    Perhaps this is the answer to the question “how do we combat the epidemic of loneliness?” —- once the internet truly cannot be trusted, we’ll be forced to once again connect offlin…

    I’d prioritize finding someone else in the company that can give you another viewpoint on the situation. These types of situations make us feel isolated, so see if you can find a w…

    The "ongoing maintenance cost of software" can also be the additional complexity in the mental model of developers that have to deal with nearby parts of the codebase. Even if no m…

    Agreed re: there being randomness with each hit in a live performance. I wonder, though, if the distribution of one hit is in fact independent of the previous -- perhaps the inner …

    At this point I'm just worried about debt collectors / credit score type stuff. What an absurd and unethical move by the new owners.

    I'm going through something similar and was able to negotiate some time off with my employer. In my experience, there's no way to push through burnout, and you're not going to be d…

    I'd love to hear more about the lightmapping interpolation for moving objects. I wonder what kinds of efficiencies the author had to find to make it performant.
