I make daily/weekly/monthly goals, and structure it in whatever App I use e.g. Linear, Todoist, or Notion. - Monthly goals are very high level and few (e.g. “Make PoC for this”, “Redesign and relaunch blog”) - Weekly goals are mor

I've been playing Diablo 4 and Diablo II Resurrected on Crossover ever since Whisky didn't work with Battle.net anymore. It's been working great tbh!

I’m definitely of the opinion that what Figma[0] (and earlier, Notion[1]) did is what I’d call “actual engineering”. Both of these companies are very specific about their circumstances and requirements - Time is ticking, and downtime is g

Honestly, the article lays out what I would expect the opinions of a junior or mid-level Engineer to be (it irks me quite a bit) - Clearly not aware of the difference between “an individual” and “team dynamics” - Unaware of the huge amount

There’s been a recent trend of rewriting tools in Rust with insanes speed gains - Rspack (webpack compatible) - Rolldown (rollup compatible) - Turbopack - Oxc (linter) - Biome (linter and more) - Bun (writing in Zig, does crazy fast bundlin

Very excited for Cranelift for debug builds to speed up development iteration - in particular for WASM/Frontend Rust where iteration speed is competing with the new era of Rust tooling for JS which lands in the sub 1 second builds some

I honestly believe removing the Hobby plan to be a huge mistake on the long-term, while optimizing for short-term profitability. Without any inside knowledge, I can only speculate, and who knows, maybe PlanetScale wouldn’t have been able to

Aren’t you assuming most people finish the full article? I find that quite unlikely, especially for longer articles. I would definitely imagine a sweet spot between “they are now engaged” and “they haven’t given up or gotten distracted yet”

Why not have both? That's exactly what DynamoDB offers, and people want the SQL equivalent promise of "it'll keep up no matter what scale you're at". The point is: You don't want to need to switch technology at

I really don’t understand this sentiment, it is extremely easy to build and deploy Next.js yourself?? You either: - Build static files and host it like any other framework (e.g. throw it in an S3 bucket)[0] - Or, run a Node.js server Wher

There’s a two simple reasons I would go for Next.js - It’s React-based: Almost everyone knows how to do React these days - It allows me to build and serve chunked static files, instead of just a single static files like classic SPA The last

Curious: have they ever increased prices of existing Google Cloud services? As far as I know, AWS only ever decreases prices on services for example

The bar to stealing it is way different now though. You would have to steal a username + phone + PIN code for phone + PIN code for MitID app. If that happens, then it would also be trivial to unlink the app from that phone. At no point in

It’s entirely possible to do this digitally and have it working seamlessly. In Denmark we have a thing called “MitID” (MyID) which is basically a government login and which you can use to sign and also login to all kinds of things that need

You don’t need to need temporal elements, the simple fact that UUIDs are a bad fit for B-Trees means that simply inserting a bunch of data that relies on a UUIDv4 for its unique ID, will also run into these same problems. You’d typically se

The amount of people with actual experience scaling databases is very small compared to the amount of e.g. Backend Engineers that end up implementing the solutions. I think a root cause is that there’s almost never a case for preferring U

by Tehnix 3y ago
The main problem is probably that you will not find a “regular Engineer” knowing this unless they’ve had to deal with scaling issues on a DB (e.g. high IOPS etc). The knowledge is definitely out there, but almost all articles will be reachi

In Sweden, Norway and Finland, information about every individual's income is publicly accessible. I kinda wish Denmark would do the same (where I’m located).

We're a mix of remote, on-site, and WFH, but it's roughly similar for most people: - Before you start we send an onboarding plan: As detailed as we can for the first 7 days (e.g. onboarding call, intro to this or that, pairing up

Way off as in that the Vercel calculation is off? It was a bit hard to find, but I would assume bandwidth in their pricing refers to egress at least. That said, super interesting to see the CloudFlare dropped the egress costs![0] That would

> There is always a server, CDN are servers Sure, but in common parlance that’s not really a useful point. There are also servers involved in serverless, but we’ve largely accepted that here it is meant to indicate (on a gradient) who m

That is, practically speaking, an enormous difference though! Any CDN (CloudFront, CloudFlare, etc) coupled with any blob storage (S3 and others) vs the following: - Servers to run your node process - Load balancing to handle distributing t

Static i18n is pretty easy to implement though? I’m Next.js I’ve previous solved it by making the chosen language part of the route. Sure, it generates more files, but that doesn’t really matter at all (cheap to host still, cheap to serve s

Yup (static site generation)! But more complex than a traditional SPA setup. Traditionally an SPA has been just one single bundle file that is downloaded. With SSG you pre-generate a file per path which gives the user many of the benefits o
