Haha, thanks. It's just a dummy database with random data :).

But they're simple. Both for users and developers. Also, bots offer a very familiar UI pattern. And a chat log is suitable (but not ideal) for a lot of things. (See slack integrations) It's going to be interesting to find out if&#

Even more so, please prevent expensive TLS setup roundtrips to two different hosts. That's probably 2x as expensive as a single preflight request for non-resuming sessions. As parent states: a simple reverse proxy is probably the way t

Rollbacks (canceling a transaction) on other systems usually take longer because it physically needs to rewrite the "undo log" back to the data pages.

Part of the reason she apparently speaks Russian pretty well. And Russia's president, mr. Putin, is fluent in German because he was stationed there when younger. Quite the antagonising characters in politics these days, but at least th

The problem with these systems is that batching would make the implementation more complex. Sending say 10m notifications per second in a fire-and-forget manner is easily distributable en requires little state. Batching per user would be do

> If you can make it fast on MySQL, it just means you are doing it wrong on PostgreSQL. This is quite the statement and inconsistent with your later point. Postgres never updates data in-place, and certain workloads can never be as fast

Postgresql's MVCC model (copy complete row on any write, clean up old rows some time in the future) might work decently for read-centric workloads, it's unsuitable for write-heavy stuff. We're running a setup that employs pos

I think this is a valid point. For non-performance-critical code where readability is more important (eg analytics) the additional language features could be nice. In my experience, 9/10 production use cases are covered using a path as

Used this often and it's a fine service. One feature request: it would be great if they'd chip in a wildcard https certificate (and publish it including private key), so it could be used for https on (local) development setups. Th

It would have been interesting to be able to setup your own stack links (e.g. by collecting Error().stack, and being able to update this at any other point - Error.setStack?). A heap of 3rd party promise/observer/animation/et

Windows used to have a "Czech (Programmers)" keyboard layout. As I remember, it was one of the few layouts that _just worked_. First thing I would do on new installs is make it the only available layout.

Detection of the game-over state seems buggy: I had moves left on a full board then got the 'GG' modal.

No. It equates to returning undefined, which is the same as having no return statement at all.

But one could argue that in many modern societies, empty bellies are never of issue. Given that you could find the means to sustain certain basics (food, love, friendship, etc), reasoning about "what's next" (e.g. pondering about purpose, w

They're probably less screwed, cause they can register their domain today, provided it's still available.

For instance to allow meta-programming (programming code executed at compile time) in the same language as is being interpreted/compiled. But more formally, a self-hosting compiler says stuff about the language per se, see also http://en.w

That doesn't seem very special or unique to me though. In almost all settings where some in-memory data is pushed on the network stack, you can expect stuff to be network bound.
