I would say, based on some experience with async capabilities in Python, Java, Go, and C#, that C#'s async/TPL implementation is among the more elegant. Its internals may be complex and it is not without some caveats that must be

That's probably overstating the case a bit. If you're hiring remote workers from other parts of the USA, I'd say you can pay somewhat less, get roughly equivalent work, and reap the profits so long as you have the skills to m

I've heard that case made for certain write-heavy workloads, too, but I would expect that to be highly dependent on the details of the db engine's implementation and your particular workload. While UUIDs, as you said, would genera

I've been consistently surprised by how little optimization MySQL does on joins. As of 5.6, it didn't even eliminate join clauses that weren't referenced in either the select or where clause which should be a pretty basic opt

Citus is building functionality on PostgreSQL to provide sharding for data sets too large for a single machine. There aren't really any PG 10 features that duplicate that. Some of the new PG features such as increased query parallelism

The attack was usually introduced via a phishing attack and then spread through SMB vulnerabilities. It generally wasn't that SMB endpoints were open to the internet.

I'm a fan of PostgreSQL, but I've found certain T-SQL features that pg does not have such as manual transaction management within stored procedures to be very useful in certain applications.

Not specifically apropos of the buyout, but my experience with Angie's List has been similar to that of Yelp, that is, businesses that paid to advertise on AL were better able to maintain high rankings. The top-rated companies were not

Versioning a database schema is orthogonal to the use of an ORM even though EF is an ORM that also facilitates database schema versioning.

The Sony Xperia line, especially the Compact models, is known for good battery life. My wife and I routinely get 48 hours on a charge on the Z3 Compact and X Compact models and that's without disabling any features such as Bluetooth or

Clustered indexes aren't an all-or-nothing choice. SQL Server allows heap tables without any clustered indexes, tables with a clustered index on the primary key, and tables clustered on a secondary index with the primary key as a non-c

I'm pretty concerned about their commitment to Google Voice functionality, too. I'm so invested in that ecosystem that I don't even know what my carrier number is anymore. I'd happily pay money for the service, but I don

The database he's referring to is Peloton ( http://pelotondb.io ) and it appears that its "killer feature" is that it's self-managing or self-tuning for highly concurrent workloads. That's certainly an int

The fact that the author just dismisses columnar indexes because he doesn't use them leads me to question his credibility as a serious critic of tools for typical analytics workloads since columnar indexes make a huge difference in per

Same here, but it's still gratifying to hear that it's making a difference for him plus advances in motorized exoskeletons have the potential to help lots of other people, too.

Aurora PostgreSQL and Citus are pretty different. The big draw of the former is that it provides PostgreSQL as a managed service on top of a cloud-optimized flash storage layer that facilitates high availability, durability, and low-latency

Very exciting, but high availability, instance cloning, and read replicas are listed as "This functionality is not yet supported for PostgreSQL instances" in the docs. Seems like those need to be available before it's a reali

Being able to ship something is definitely important as there are a lot of junior (and even more experienced devs) that just can't seem to finish a project. Also, stick around for a while after it's been shipped or deployed and se

If you're going to do this, you should leave out X. The larger the differential between X and Y, the higher the unconscious (or perhaps even conscious) bias will be against you. "This guy wants a 40% raise to come work for us&quot

And CloudWatch is free for RDS at 5-minute collection intervals which is more than adequate for alerting on things such as "Am I about to hit the space limit on my database?"

Unless you have a workload that won't fit on a single machine, a distributed database isn't really an advantage over a single master with one or more appropriate replicas that are available for failover.
