Sure, it’s not the most common problem to experience, just something that’s useful to know once you have more and more clients. It did happen to me, all connections used up for long running transactions (for multiple reasons) and then nothi

What I talk about is blocking of limited resources. Processes/connections are expensive and therefore you want/have to limit the max amount of them. Each query/transaction requires its own process and blocks it for everyone e

PgBouncer just pools the connection, but each connection still needs its own process in PostgreSQL itself. Each query blocks the whole process. That limits the amount of queries that can run in parallel/concurrently to the amount of co

Depends on what you want to scale. Memory, CPU and disc scale well. High concurrency can become a problem due to the 1 process per connection architecture. Keeping latency low between your app and db server and understanding how and where l

Have you tried Typst? It's like a modern version of LaTeX and allows to generate nice looking documents quickly. Can be called from the console and makes it easy to create templates and import resources like images, fonts and data (csv

In Bavaria I've seen beer vending machines inside of factories with heavy machinery and forklifts everywhere.

Haven't met anyone which such a contract. It's usually a fixed value. The owner may choose to raise it every now and then, but laws limit it to a certain amount per year and there needs to be a reason, for example modernization or

In my experience indefinite is pretty much the default here in Germany. I only heard about limited leases for students that only move to a certain location because of university.

Depends on the use case. I would argue promising capabilities that are not there yet and can’t be developed by the supplier themselves (for example they just fine tune an existing model) in a reasonable timeframe are practically just as use

So far most of the use cases of AI I see in the wild has been some stupid chat bot, replacing specific job groups or magically solving a problem with AI. All of these attempts fail miserably. It‘s Blockchain and NFTs all over again. The pro

Monoliths are so much easier for smaller teams. No additional tooling needed, no service discovery, instead of networks calls you have function calls, can share resources, etc. Much less overhead as well, so you may not even need to scale.

My experience with Kubernetes has been mostly bad. I always see an explosion of complexity and there is something that needs fixing all the time. The knowledge required comes on top of the existing stack. Maybe I'm biased and just have

It is really difficult to recycle plastic, because there are just so much different materials that we call plastic. Some can be reshaped with heat and others need chemicals. Packaging often contains multiple different plastics and it is REA

You could kind of argue that users that reuse passwords are responsible for leaking their own information. But how do they explain the remaining 7 million? Also they are suddenly able to enforce changing passwords and 2FA, so how do they wa

Oh, I haven’t even considered the problem of the low concentration in the air. The problem of the energy loss from conversion alone makes capturing a net loss, even if we assume 100% pure CO2 and theoretically perfect processes. Not putting

If we can optimize existing processes or are able to utilize otherwise wasted energy I‘m all for it. This process seems to be limited by the MOF catalyst and how much sun can reach it. Would also be interesting if impurities lead to problem

So far all attempts at carbon capture are so horribly inefficient that I don't quite understand how this should or rather can work at all. If someone found a way to beat thermodynamics that would be quite the feat. The amount of energy

I don't know what this has to do with Haskell. I understand that they need a DSL for their system. I just don't agree that it is a good idea to use some general purpose serialization format. In the end they always evolve to a near

I've been there. Not YAML specifically, but basically just configuration (XML, JSON, properties, ...) for some proprietary systems without any good documentation or support available. "It's easy, just do/insert X",

by ManBeardPc 3y ago
Worse yet, in some places (CI/CD) YAML becomes nearly a programming language. A very verbose, unintuitive, badly specified and vendor-specific one as well.

Ignoring an environment where you spend a big chunk of you life for things like friends and relationships sounds like a bad idea. Saying that this automatically leads to drama at work is questionable. We have a huge decline in friendships.

Yeah, sounds about right. Companies try to save money by hiring more juniors and skipping roles like UX. Rarely works out though. For some reason, there seems to be enough money for AI, wast amount of meetings and convoluted interviewing an

Germany: as a senior the market looks ok, although a bit slower and customers seem more hesitant to start expensive projects/hire additional contractors. I get a few job offers now and then, enough to not be unemployed long if I wanted

Without good benchmarks it's hardly possible to compare different products. But I agree that this benchmarks seems questionable at best then. I usually only work with on-premise deployments, so I don't know the details of all the

Big parts of the article are pretty generic concepts and only mention other products as an example. Haven't heard of Neon yet. What does Neon do differently? Is there a good introduction/overview? Good, fair and reproducible bench

by ManBeardPc 3y ago
Very good overview and easy to read. In recent years I‘ve encountered more and more businesses that use or want to use Postgres instead of other proprietary or NoSQL databases, so this post is very useful.

Sure, that is something that has to be avoided. The problem is that "commercial" is so broadly defined that basically everyone is covered, even non-profit organizations or single developers. A lot of those that want to release ope

Thank you for providing that, didn't knew about that amended version. This only includes individual developers though and if you are employed this is already a problem again: (10a) "[...]Similarly, where the main contributors to f

Big parts of the legislation are good and long overdue. The big problem is that this effectively also includes many free/open-source software projects, as the definition for what constitutes "commercial" or "commercial-g

I would guess that companies are often exempt in cases such as natural disasters or extreme weather events and there are entities responsible to prevent things like this from happening. Electric Reliability Council of Texas sounds like such
