I've seen a lot of results dated 2001-01-31 that were not published then. I'm guessing it's a default somewhere that gets incorrectly picked up.

We run tests on the master branch before we deploy. If tests fail there we find the offending PR and revert it.

I just found the Min browser, if you’re on Mac it has great UI for staying focused. Not showing frequently visited sites when I open a new tab helps a lot. Less clutter in general also helps. The same is true for my physical space, for me a

Rail travel here in Sweden is unfortunately not reliable at all. In february only 75% of long distance and 90% of short distance trips were on time. Many departures were canceled due to a myriad of problems ranging from technical issues wit

Really nice post! A possible addition could be showing the diff as its own field. This seems like a sane approach: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36043269 But how could you go about not storing the diff but still being ab

If you care about errors you can use function wait_all { for job in $(jobs -p); do wait "${job}"; done } A lone wait wont tell you if any of the jobs fail.

I found a bug once in one of our geospatial pipelines. We were removing all points with invalid coordinates, i.e those with abs(longitude)>90 and abs(latitude)>180. Problem is, it's longitude that goes from -180 to 180 and latit

Nice project! For the counting of views being limited to a few days you could run a daily job to compute the running total of previous days and compute the total today as that historical sum plus todays sum. Just a thought.

Well done black team! For me it is a fantastic tool which saves some brain clock cycles when applied, both when reading and writing, which is valuable to me. Thank you.

An important distinction between specific tolls per road and a general gas tax is that a gas tax funds all roads, not the specific one you're driving on. A toll on a particular road is an informative signal to the market of which par

There is obviously a tradeoff here with the optimal amount of code review that varies with impact and difficulty. Dogmatically doing and waiting for an in depth review on a tiny and likely insignificant change is silly. Blindly pushing big

The canonical economist solution to this is to introduce road tolls. Make drivers pay at point of use to fund the road.

We use 1password at work. It's fantastic, never had issues. The GUI is really nice (on MacOS where I use it at least). The CLI is also nice for pushing secrets into scripts.

Really sad to see Steve go. That book is half the reason I'm excited about Rust. As the first thing I stumbled on when approaching the language it gave off such a strong vibe of wanting to help developers instead of trying to make them

Cool, we have a similar setup with dedicated databases for logically separated parts of the app. I work at an online classifieds platform built on rails. For example we have a listing-events database that acts as an event log for our listin

wind pushes vehicle. wheels spin. wheels drive propeller (via gears). propeller pushes vehicle. I first assumed it was the other way around with wind->propeller->wheels, which it is not.

If you use serial integer ids and accidentally join on the wrong tables/columns you will get rows back even if the join doesn't make sense, because all serian integer ids have values in common. If you're using UUIDs you will

> Automatic cancellation of long-running queries if the client disconnects Sweet! I often screw up a query and need to cancel it with pg_cancel_backend(pid) because Ctrl-C rarely works. With this I can just ragequit and reconnect.

Absolutely. Complexity in our own system pretty much exploded when we wanted to serve stats at near "real-time" (a couple of seconds delay). If business could just chill out and wait until next day, or even like an hour, we coul
