Unfortunately I don't know enough about elasticsearch to provide a useful comparison. I like the way ES queries are structured JSON instead of obscure compact querystring parameters, but that's not a good reason to choose one over

This is the key one for us that makes Postgres a non-starter for FTS (We use postgres for everything else ) We begrudgingly use Solr instead (we started before ES was really a thing and haven't found a need to switch yet) When you g

re the streaming thing, I assume the intent is that a server can stream a zipfile trivially while generating its contents on the fly. and then write the central directory at the end. It can't easily be read while streaming, but it&#x

I believe Git normally refers to these things as "trailers" [0], which seems more accurate since they usually (always?) Follow the commit message rather than preceding it. [0] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-inte

seems like we need the equivalent of a lockfile for dockerfiles. i want to build from a sha256 tag, but I want that to be based on a readable tag which is updated via pull requests by dependabot/renovatebot/etc. that's esse

"real refactoring" isn't generally available to those of us using dynamic languages like Python (or at least I've never seen it done well) so multiple cursors is about the best we can get unfortunately.

In Sublime Text I actually use a quick Undo-then-Redo to navigate , of all things. I'll be typing some code and realise I need to check whether the imports at the top of the file are correct. So I'll Cmd+Up (go to the top of the

This was my first thought while reading the article - surely if we can intentionally get hit by lightning, we can find a way to harness that energy. https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/is-there-...

Github's a work tool, not somewhere you go to have fun. This is a weird article because its main point is about the 'Trending page', which is something I've never heard of in the last 10 years of using github heavily. I&

No one's saying not to have algorithms involved at all. Humans don't have to review all of the content, just the stuff the algorithms are unsure about, as well as takedown/review requests.

However, looks like the Actions minutes included in the Team plan have dropped from 10K to 3K, so if you're currently paying for a team plan and using Actions your costs might not decrease, or might increase a bit

Why do they even have this process? Who cares if someone in prison uses Facebook? This is pretty absurd.

git urls are tricky to use with many tools (like pip-compile) though. At best they're slow, since things like "what's the latest version?" require downloading the repo. We forked some things into a private DevPI instance

I've never bought a font before. These seem crazy expensive. Is this kind of pricing normal? I'd expect to pay maybe a dollar or two for a font; it really doesn't seem like it would provide enough value to be worth more than

Yep, I can't wait to use the walrus operator. I just tried it out (`docker run -it python:3.8.0b2-slim`) and I'm hooked already. Also, it's times like these I'm really glad docker exists. Trying that out before docker wo
