It's not a gremlin and at the end of the day it's probably a misconfiguration or bug somewhere but it doesn't help anyone to point fingers and blame. A system probably went through a design phase, why didn't the reviewer

Elixir and Go both have similar performance (although Elixir tends to use a lot more CPU). Here's a pretty good blog post comparing Go, Node and Elixir: https://stressgrid.com/blog/benchmarking_go_vs_node_vs_elixi.

I think within the rails community there's enough people that want to give elixir and phoenix a try but if you're not using phoenix the application pool drastically shrinks.

An extra point is that finding Elixir developers (or people who are willing to learn it) is also much harder.

A lot of systems let you choose what timezone you want to use in their UI and you can choose to use your local timezone or UTC. We log everything in UTC but I can still filter or even display logs with my local timezone without any issues o

Not sure about all different databases but Postgres, for example, always stores datetimes in UTC and converts them back to a display timezone when outputting the values[0]. > For timestamp with time zone, the internally stored value is a

The answer will probably depend from person to person. In the end choose whichever _you (and your team)_ feels more comfortable with.

Do you have any examples where MDX is better than regular Markdown? I don't think I like the idea of needing a JS engine + browser to read documentation.

I think the stamp will encourage the wrong behavior of scrubbing the spot where you got stamped. My understanding is that it's not that you need to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and you're good to go but rather that if y

Nice work! I have a similar "better" redis-cli that I unfortunately never cleaned up enough to release but the two features that I built this tool for you have also added: 1) the ability to connect via TLS to a Redis instance and

I think what amirathi is saying is why would someone use your SaaS vs using AWS. Using AWS on it's own is painful so I get your value prop but there are also some solution in this space already such as Serverless[1] or Apex[2] that mak

Nice! The one thing that I didn't expect was to pay more per card in the bundled plan than the per-piece cost in that plan. The math still checks out so you're not leaving money in the table by having someone stay on a lower plan.

Convox does not manage the underlying Kubernetes cluster. If you're using EKS it's managed by AWS, GKE by GCP, AKS by Azure, etc. If you're using a self-hosted cluster, then it's up to you to manage it. The Convox platfo

Correct, both the Convox ECS rack and Empire are AWS exclusive. Convox has a public-beta of their rack running on Kubernetes which is cloud agnostic as it only needs a Kubernetes cluster to operate in.

People at Convox[1] and Remind101 are doing similar open-source work. Convox's business model is selling you the managed version of their open source rack. We've been using Convox in production for over 3 years now and we've

I think what mc3 was talking about is some SaaS companies advertising their products as $X/mo when in reality the monthly pricing is more than that and $X is the cost iff you commit to an annual plan. For example you might see pricing
