At getstream.io we ended up running Github Actions on Hetzner. The end-result is 4x faster builds for 3x less $$$. Running workers ourselves was the last resort, we tried everythin…

> anyone can see what URLs you are visiting this is not correct with HTTPS (query params are not part of the plain text)

ofc it depends where you would hire, for me (NL) its above 100x more efficient

I agree, only reason I read the project readme was to see the drop-in explainer. Very misleading title

searching for running shoes returns a mix of brands and shoe models

Plenty of engineers on the market can work professionally in C. Only a small amount of people can write Cobol (or is willing to given that is almost useless). That alone is a good …

> At Compose, every WebSocket message starts with a fixed 2-byte type prefix for categorizing messages. some of the complexity is self-inflected by ignoring KISS principle

In my experience, only Swift has a generator that produces good-quality code. Ironically, it’s developed by Apple.

The list of supported commands looks quite impressive https://kvrocks.apache.org/docs/supported-commands#script-co...

Using DynamoDB in 2025 is such a weird proposition. Horrible dev experience, no decent clients/libs, complex pricing, weird scaling in/out mechanism, slow, it only works well for w…

Google is not winning on cloud, AWS is winning and MS gaining ground.

> Use Postgres for Fulltext Search instead of Elastic pg fulltext search is very limited and user unfriendly, not a great suggestion here

Ideally it does not run on the awful EBS storage (slow and expensive).

Possibly because they capture the video from xvfb or similar (they run a headless browser to capture the video) so at that point the decoding already happened (webrtc?)

Makes you wonder why there were no plane hijacks since 9/11. TSA does not seem a credible prevention mechanism given how easy it is to go around it.

Nice article which matches my experience when it comes to optimizing for performance: Linux defaults are never good defaults and you don't need webscale or anything before you get …

TL;DR it is a job

isn't China producing more electricity with solar than all other countries combined (with solar)?

io2 is generally better than io1, one advantage is that you can scale storage size and IOPS independently. That being said, RDS with io2 is still worse than an ec2 instance with nv…

RDS is such a depressing database option. It does not matter how much money you throw at it, its performance will always be limited by the awful disk IOPS. Luckily these days you c…

well, they shut this down probably because they cannot afford to keep a product that bring little revenue. I never heard of AWS retiring a product (I am excluding ancient stuff lik…

it increases the cost for the attacker, forging ID is expensive and against the law. It also leaves behind additional evidence that might be useful to investigators
