Oh, yeah, I think it's a bad law. But whereas I'd find it baffling for Canada to have such a law, I'm somehow not at all surprised that there are US states that are OK with that: "peace, order, and good government"

I think the article incorrectly summarizes the judge's order. The order makes clear that it was a lawyer telling the plaintiff that the _US state_ barred the action. > [56] As for the possibility of suing the author of the Defamator

They manage a large number of region-specific accounts, so that users can follow just the regions they care about. I imagine the cumulative total exceeds the API limit. This is a pretty common pattern. Daryl Herzmann's iembot accounts

They claim "thousands of jobs every day", so the volume sounds very manageable. In a past job, I used postgres to handle millions of jobs/day without too much hassle. They also say that some jobs take hours and that they use

I was involved in some diligence when a prior company was considering an acquisition. The numbers they claimed vs the numbers we could trust from their various SaaSes were pretty fishy. It was a small deal - more like $1M. We didn't pu

I agree that there's lots of room for improvement in both the benchmark and the exposition around it, but I disagree with: > no use of [...] synchronous and journal mode They enable both of these when configuring the connection:

I'm probably missing something, but why would the temp_store pragma be relevant? They don't appear to be using temp tables in this benchmark.

They're using WAL and synchronous = NORMAL, so there shouldn't be that many syncs to begin with. By default, I think it'd sync only on checkpoints, and a checkpoint would happen for every 1000 pages of WAL. 1000 is the defaul

Eh, for some values of well. My post is one of the "12 [...] about Twitter not responding to the standard API access request process". It's easy to keep an API running if you reject access to it, no? Due to a delightful quirk

It's kind of the swiss cheese model. People will slip up--it's very hard to conduct business in entirely off-the-record chats. I like the recent example of a junior BP trader. He had an opportunity to meet a vice president of the

I gather you haven't tried to use the Twitter Ads API lately. :) This is literally an API that makes it easier for people to give money to Twitter. And yet it's seemingly abandoned since the Musk takeover, with the old documentati

On the one hand, knowing what we know now, I certainly agree it would be preferable if he wasn't arrested. On the other hand, the neighbour had made at least 4 reports to the police about harassment and death threats. I believe the nei

TBH, I think the conduct of the cops is fine here. If someone alleges that the other party is making death threats, I want them to investigate. It's not alleged that the cops mistreated Mr. Epstein. Obviously being arrested is traumati

I mean, the judge also said it was a "Charter-enshrined" right, but that's less punchy, so didn't make the headline.

From reading the decision and looking at Google Maps: the street is a short, narrow dead-end street in the suburbs. Most of the people who live there have young children who play together. It would be very difficult to accidentally find you

Yes! I assume that this is just content marketing to get link juice to feed our Google overlords, but yeesh. I run a SaaS that helps people get API data into Google Sheets. For very popular services, we make customized connectors that hide

The context of the conversation was "Hey, am I fired? Neither HR nor my management chain are responding to my emails." A good answer would be "Check your email, HR has responded to you." Instead, this guy got: - asked to

They act as a go-between in that they ultimately host on AWS/GCP. They host their own infrastructure in that they appear to run Kubernetes and have built out their own deployment and service fabric, so they're just using the under

Render.com is another spiritual successor of Heroku. I'd love a world where Fly and Render are both very successful companies.

I'm not sure if I'm saying this seriously or not, but: no worries! In addition to its granular permissions systems which will now let you revoke the secretary's access, Sheets also has a robust backup and restore story built-

I run a Google Sheets-based SaaS. The default limit is 60 write req/user/min and 60 read req/user/min. In my experience, that's plenty! Especially so since Sheets has a very advanced API relative to, say, Airtable.

I use sqlean for the same reason that I use any pre-built library: it makes my life easier. sqlean's existence provides the kernel around which other things in the ecosystem can coalesce. For example, karlb's sqlite-sqlean pip mod

Not by default. You can build it with the SQLITE_ENABLE_ICU flag to get Unicode support.

Sure, I personally like the Graviton instances. For workloads that care more about throughput than latency, they offer excellent performance-per-price. The OP was asking what was "most comparable" to Fly's offering. I assumed

Short answer: no. Long answer: When you consider ARM vs AMD vs Intel vs current-gen vs last-gen, AWS sells several 8-core 32-GB machines that have wildly varying performance characteristics. It used to be that the manner of virtualization i
