And there I'm unsure what we consider essential characteristics of a database. This characteristic you're mentioning is essential for your persistence database, but maybe not so much for a derived read-only databases (e.g. when us

It would have been better to frame it more generically as "adding another store or db". But the official self-description of Redis is the following: > Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used

If you already have Postgres in your project and now you get the requirement for an additional cache store, I think it will be less complicated to reuse what you already have instead of adding another DB to your stack. Of course, at some po

Actually this is exactly the point that the video makes and it offers a very good explanation on the why. But you're right, this description is for sure clickbaity.

Some people claim that unit tests make type systems unnecessary: "types are just simple unit tests written for you, and simple unit tests aren't the important ones". Other people claim that type systems make unit tests unnece

Is there a name for this behavior? Sounds like something that is categorized as a cognitive bias? I'm confident that this does not only apply to programmers :)

But how could "pick the right" people possibly work out for everyone? Maybe some higher paying / more prestigious companies can do that. But that would still leave the other companies with the original problem and not change

Imho we also tend to underestimate the impact of cognitive biases on our own views and behaviors. We are often largely unaware of this. In this case, I find that Hanlon's razor is to simple with the black and white distinction of incom

The problem lies in the "should" :) I do agree that the conflation of hours and productivity is a problem here. But it's a very common one and most people don't have the freedom. What I wanted to point out that there is

The Dell U3219Q monitor has a (rather rare) feature that gets rid of the need for a KVM switch for me entirely. It has both an USB-C input and an USB3 upstream that can be combined with either DisplayPort or HDMI. It also has signal auto de

However, people also want to spend more money and have more things / higher standard of living than people had at that time. I'm curious if you would adjust your own standard of living accordingly, you could finance it with a 15h

This is something that is really puzzling to me, how such a basic and useful feature can be broken for years. It's annoying me since the release of Windows 8. Keyboard Launchers like Keypirinha (also used Launchy back in the days) are

Are you aware of tsc options like --watch and --incremental ? Combined with other live-reloading tools like nodemon or jest --watch you can have almost the same speed of your development-test-run-debug loops as in plain JS. But you do gain

Thanks for formulating this. It seems to me that there are two very diffent kind of programmer mindsets that are heavily in conflict with each other. Some programmers want to write sophisticated (and sometimes very concise) code that requi

OpenApi 3.0 is quite nice to work with. Its verbose to write by hand, though and you also need to know JSONSchema. With the Swagger UI we've had some mixed experiences. Not everything you can express in the Spec is displayed very well.

I'm very impressed by those docs. Anyone has insights how they were made? Looks like they were partly generated, otherwise it would be impossible to keep everything consistent - especially with the many language examples. They also see

Is there any decently fast and simple terminal emulator for Windows? VSCode / Hyper 2 are GPU accellerated and are really fast once loaded. Because of their use of Electron they are not excactly fast to load, though.

So true. It also helps to have at least one person that feels ownership towards the knowledge management subject and it's systems (and builds up that culture, you're talking about). The best systems won't work well if there&#
