Yes, indexes behave the same on TEXT columns as they would on CHAR or VARCHAR ones.

Thanks for the suggestion, I edited my post to provide an example of using domains with TEXT fields.

The article certainly doesn't advocate for removing any constraints; there are just much, much more flexible ways to accomplish them in postgres, some of which offer similar performance. A domain using a TEXT field and constraints is p

Regarding 2: even if it has been documented for a while, I don't think it's very widely known. I still see a lot of models.CharField(max_length=x) in Django code, where x is usually an arbitrary value only chosen because

A friend of mine works on gnome, and I asked him about it. The actual explanation for this is a lot more reasonable: "Him: OK, I figured out what happened. It wasn't ideal in terms of commits. So, we have an old configuration system GConf,

The author clames that contextual interfaces require too much knowledge and understanding even to do trivial things, and then cites this as a good example of a composable architecture: tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' | tr A-Z a-z | sort |

Although I think the article as a whole is insightful, I really don't agree with the book analogy. Most of the time, one reads a book in a very linear fashion - left to right, top down, hopefully with little interruption. With code, I find

Good work, I'm jealous; I wish I was doing things like that when I was 14.

It's really cool that the FreeBSD project is investing into llvm like this, seems like a good bet for the future. But why so soon and so earnestly?

Yeah, what the hell? I don't get why people beg for followers at the end of their blog posts. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth after what would have been a great reading experience.

And definitely a case where an automated "middlebrow dismissal" detection algorithm would fail. I looked into it and still don't think it is possible. What makes this comment different from the bad ones? It seems entirely dependent on the c

Care to elaborate? :) Thanks everyone for the replies. My logic is: I learned everything I know about programming on my own (specifically, almost exclusively from the internet), and I am dying to get to SV, get some industry experience, and

Hopefully this is related: can anyone give some advice or input on dropping out to work in silicon valley in general? I'm not close to done (first semester freshman), but I have an internship at a certain large SV company this summer. If yo

I wish they would release the architecture reference manual to the public... all we have is the instruction set right now. Not enough to do bare metal/os work.

4.95 for "unlimited" traffic? So if my script is taking in 100,000 reqs/day I'm still paying 4.95 per month? What about cpu usage, memory consumption?

by Jonanin 14y ago
So are the lua VM's persistent at all or are you creating a new VM process for each script request ala PHP? Also, are you using LuaJIT?

If Gruber says no, then who else besides him is to blame for needlessly attempting to block Markdown's forward progress, especially when it is seriously in need of attention, and when he has not put in any effort to give it some? The person

Can someone please tell me why this is worthy of HN front page? He hasn't said anything new at all; almost half of the article quotes and the other half has already been iterated countless times in the press release thread. Gruber really is

I think it was a bug - it's no longer in italics now.

If hiring a lawyer doesn't work out, surely YCombinator itself could do something about it, since they are in the current batch?
