Does anyone know of a vitess equivalent for Postgres? I’d love to use it

Amazing. I did not know this, thanks!

I wish you could teach it multiple faces, because it doesn’t work for me if I have stuff on my head, like a bike helmet and sunglasses, or ski goggles, etc

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, it’s 100% about cost. It’s far too expensive, and the ROI horizons are far too long (multiple decades) Edit: and that’s only if you cut a nice deal where the state picks up the insurance tab, becau

Not typical everywhere... The median wage / house price in sydney & melbourne are 13x and 10x respectively. And you pretty much have to live in one of those two cities if you want a decent job in Australia. The country’s in for a

It’s been about 25 years so far, with no real downwards correction. Definitely a major bubble, but ive given up trying to guess when it will burst. Everyone acts like it will go on forever, but that would mean >$50mil median homes in ano

4.5x would be a dream for Australians - Sydney and Melbourne are currently at 13x & 10.5x respectivly. Those two cities cover close to half the Australian population. Insanity.

It’s been awhile since I read it, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought peopleware was advocating for the same as the GP - mixed spaces that suit the individual preferences of teams/individuals.

This is 100% the truth. I don’t know why it’s so hard to recognize different people have different working preferences, there’s no absolute correct arrangement. HN (rightfully) shoots down “anecdata”, but on this issue everyone’s fine with

Counterpoint; I upgraded from a 6 to an X - the screen and the camera are really truly so much better. The X has mostly replaced my mirrorless DLSR in a way the 6 couldn’t come close to.

After reading years and years of discussions like this, it seems like the citizen opposition and (somewhat unfair) demonisation of nuclear power is endlessly repeated as the reason we don't have nukes anymore, despite them being a grea

I personally love open offices. Collaboration benefits aside, I like people and I'd go insane working in a silent solo prison every day (been there!). The meme of "open offices are terrible for everyone and it's only evil man

Varnish will actually hold those 100 connections open while it dispatches 1 single request to the backend. When that request returns (assuming the cache control headers allow it), it will serve that one response to all 100 requestors. It&#x

Absolutely rings true. I spent ~2 years being nomadic in my late 20s. Whilst I had a blast, at some point a deep mental nagging started to grow, just like you said: "I want to build something, I want to create something that impacts pe

Never claimed ruby was as fast as go. Our go services run at about 5-15ms(excluding 95/99 etc), so they're def faster(they do a lot less too!). I'm just saying ruby (or other dynamic langs, i dont mind, I dont have a "ch

I think we might be talking past each other a little :) The median has absolutely not "comforted" us, nor do we disregard the percentile data. In fact, we have a whole perf team basically dedicated to looking at 95/9th &

Yeah, we've started using that. Kind of amazing that you need an addon lib & Wrap() everywhere to make errors useful. Just more boilerplate! :)

by dalyons 11y ago
Sure, and I thought twice before putting that in :) We of course monitor our 95th & 99th primarily, for reasons that you said. But I didn't quote those because they're usually blown out by slow db queries, n+1 selects,n+1 cach

I've done a lot of ruby and go. Honestly, I would think twice before building a major website/product API on go. Development time is markedly slower in go, some causes off the top of my head: - testing is way harder (ruby has som

Ah ok! Perfect, thanks, that's what I was missing. Makes total sense now. In any lang (even in ruby!) you could have separate thread pools(or EM loops, whatever) for the s3 requests & web handlers. But because node only has one EL

im obviously missing something here, hopefully someone can explain? I understand the eventloop/nexttick/etc architecture of node, but i dont understand how in this case he was blocking the loop? Shouldnt all the operations to S3 b

a really wacky, fun, and occasionally high-brow read. I really didnt expect to like it as much as I did. (I also immediately thought it was going to be the lamp from that book)

As someone who went through IK12 a few cohorts ago, I'd say it was an amazing experience. The team there blended the depth of general startup knowledge from YC with a huge amount of education-specific coaching/learning/netwo
