I've been using Elixir for the past 5-6 years for my startup. We use pg_notify extensively to broadcast changes between running nodes (basically, use Phoenix.PubSub locally in our …

I’ve been running my startup on Google Cloud for the past 5 years. Initially got around 100K credits for the first year and have been steady spending $5-10K/mo since - not huge spe…

Tangential comment - but that Netezza appliance was really cool. I was able to use one early in my career, circa 2008. It had a nice cli query interface similar to psql (maybe it s…

I really enjoy working with LiveView and have personally built several substantially sized apps with it. One of my current frustrations is the inability, out-of-the-box, to write t…

Outside of an apple machine or raspberry pi, is it possible to get a one-off arm-powered server (i.e, for a homelab, not a corporate data center)

DisplayPort works fine for 5K

All I want is a non-thunderbolt HiDPI display (5K @ 27" is the perfect display, IMO). Why has HiDPI has stagnated outside of the apple ecosystem?

I made a similar jump over the past few years out of frustration with stagnating apple hardware (pre-m1). I spent a year with a hackintosh, which worked pretty well, but became dis…

I work on a SaaS app in the healthcare space where IE11 is the preferred browser, and was getting worried watching all of our favorite tools begin to completely drop IE11 support (…

As part of the 41% that recently swapped out their "gas guzzler" Porsche for a Tesla M3, I can confirm that they're ready for prime time. The Tesla Supercharging experience has bee…

As much as I love ZFS, I also recently hit this issue and it was an exercise in frustration to get a running system again.

Yeah this happened to me recently and it was obnoxious

I use this daily with linux/i3 and it has been very pleasant! Installed it and it basically does exactly what you expect. Only issue was some conflicting default i3 shortcuts that …

It’s been slim picking for 5K monitors- especially if you’re not on OSX where thunderbolt dispay output is much more complicated. Besides the (now discontinued) Planar IX2790, whic…

I’ve only looked at CrunchyData which does seem like more complexity than I want - I was willing to suck it up pay the premium but the monthly OOM crashes have forced my hand - but…

To clarify, it’s a lot more work than bringing up a snapshot. You need to do a full export as SQL and reimport as SQL. Super annoying, slow, and requires hard downtime. Am using SQ…

Sure. - No way to upgrade major postgres version without full export and import into new cluster. - Incredible delay between postgres versions. IIRC, it took nearly 2 years for the…

Yeah, have hugely over provisioned disks for IOPS. Am still using public ip + cloudsql-proxy because the alternative didn't exist when I first deployed, but I'll try switching.

100% upsell. Felt like sitting through a high pressure timeshare sales pitch to get the free gift at the end

I used to be a huge fan of GCP and bet on it to power my startup, and have come to greatly regret it. Recently, I needed to increase a CPU-limit quota from a small number (like 16 …

Unfortunately no longer the case with the new router that has a built in ONT and (according to forums, anyways) doesn’t use the same long-lived 802.11x mechanism :(

I use i3 on dual 27” and it works well. Mostly do 2-3 windows split vertically on each.

Huge bummer but the next generation of ATT routers with onboard ONT don’t work this bypass :(

Can you upgrade from a previous version without a full export and import?

I absolutely love the BEAM and Elixir, but one of my common complaints and source of errors is the lack of compile-time type sanity checking, so I'm excited to see movement in this…
