Fixed! I grabbed that example from the bug tracker issue where the change was discussed and that wasn’t based on a version where the backtick change had been made.

Ooh, I hadn't heard of rbs-inline before. I was always a bit put off by the type definitions having to live in separate files.

Oh nice! I haven't used Sorbet yet, but this is the second time I've heard good things about it outside of Stripe (where it originated). I'll have to give it a proper look.

By coincidence I just ordered my first PC Engines computer to use as a router last week. Glad I got in while they're still being made. It seems like an underserved niche.

Honestly state machines are fantastic in Rails too. My last company built Statesman ( https://github.com/gocardless/statesman/ ) and being able to lean on it to prevent you getting into invalid states is fantastic.

Ah that makes sense! Having current in opposite directions in the two wires in the cable cancels it out. Thanks for explaining. I guess the warnings about not running loads of current through coiled cables are more to do with heat dissapati

Doesn't coiling cables while passing increasing levels of power through them (which is exactly what's happening with new USB-C PD specs) start giving off more and more heat? EDIT: Nope! See the replies.

We stopped using HDDs and CRTs, and started using SSDs and LCDs.

Pretty much number 1 on my Postgres wishlist.

Thanks for the extra info, and the insight into how you're using Patroni. Always helpful to hear about someone using it for real, especially someone who's come from Pacemaker. :)

It's a little lost in another comment thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15862584 ), but I'm definitely excited about solutions like Patroni and Stolon that have come along more recently.

Oh for sure! My claim is that you need to hire some expensive people if you want that performance, not that there aren't reasons to run your own database instances!

Right! A thing that scares me is anyone saying they're running their own HA cluster (not single instance) for cost reasons. Infra people are not cheaper than the hosted solutions (Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Heroku Postgres).

1. Unfortunately the logs don't give any detail there. Most likely something arrived down the replication connection that the process couldn't handle, and it crashed. 2. Our understanding now is that INF is the strongest preferenc

To be honest we've not looked into Citus in any depth. My early impression of it (can't speak for the rest of the team) was that it was mostly aimed at sharding analytics workloads, but parts of the docs (e.g. https://d

We plan to open source it as soon as we can. Tiny bit more work to do, then review from a couple of people in the team, then we make it public. :)

Or any of the layers they run above the block device could be designed to detect it, or even correct it.

That's good to know. Thanks for the explanation! Not currently useful to me, but I'm sure this hits the sweet spot for a bunch of people.

It's been a long time since I looked into this: is there now a way to configure a cluster of Redis instances such that you won't lose messages on node failure? If not, all the nice at-least-once delivery (or "effectively once
