The C172 with a G1000 setup was around $20/hr more at the local flight school than a C172 with a six pack. Def not needed for X-country but I always felt safer flying it through busy airspace. Garmin really does make fantastic avionics

The product itself is very good, but the sales process is truly awful. Random calls with non-technical reps unable to answer basic questions like, "now that you've added this to my GCP account for 2 weeks, how much is this going t

I think it just depends on what you're working on. In my experience, Claude usually has the edge over ChatGPT for most coding or logic problems; however, there are situations where Claude goes too deep the wrong way and ChatGPT wins ou

I've had mixed success with evading regional locks for sports and other content with random VPN providers. Any cloud provider I've tried is immediately blocked. Pretty easy to do since they all publish their IP ranges. If you have

Running a VPN out of cloud services pretty much guarantees recaptcha prompts at most sites and denied access to most streaming platforms. Plus, paying per-GB adds up fast. If you're trying to evade region restriction or sail the high s

This has been my experience with any model with a large response token limit. I've had to work around this by running it through several times with specific questions about the data: extract text, extract tables, extract <specific d

Good for them! I hope this gives them a bit more time to R&D, stiffen the chassis, etc. before taking it to market. But, I also hope Formlabs doesn't raise the price as an entry option to their 5-figure Fuse 1 printer. If they can

This is pretty cool. For folks on GCP, does it make more sense to use vanilla rails with cloud run? I wish lambda had the ability to share processes like cloud run with a max concurrency setting.

I recently saw a post about Cackle [1] coming out of the rust ecosystem which looks pretty cool. Similar to what others have said, there's always a chance that a C lib or shell script is leveraged to bypass compile time guarantees. I t

The ability to run a cron every few seconds is pretty cool and avoids those OS cron scripts that loop and sleep, so I'm glad that was added. Only downside to cron jobs running inside postgres is PL/pgSQL. It's never my first

Vertically scaling has a cost component. If you're able to use pgbouncer with transaction pooling to better utilize but not exceed your existing vertical postgres limit, then you're set. If you do, then you must scale up. Pgbounce

This. For the web service workloads most of us run, I’ve always run out of postgres connections before exceeding the vertical limit of a postgres server.

by film42 3y ago
The real problem is working with postgres’ “each connection is a process” model. Pgbouncer puts an evented pool in front of postgres to deal with this. Apps that are aggressive with DB will not benefit from having an evented pool in front.

Daily driver for me as well, but only for terminal. People laugh sometimes while pair programming, but usually by the end they begin to really like it. Can't use anything else at this point.

Corruption of database storage is the biggest fear so most upgrades are done cautiously. Historically postgres versions were released much much slower so the upgrade cadence was slower too. That said, we've been upgrading more frequent

I've been sponsoring a channel for a few months now but still find that youtube runs ads on their videos. I guess the perks are for exclusive live chats and stuff. Still, it's better than not having a sponsorship system.
