I totally hear you, been down a similar path. As for the "huge chinese" databases, not to sound like a conspiracy, but CockroachDB has outperformed them in my server load testing (stress test with very basic "SELECT FROM user

It's a great point- I've been looking into this path myself: ScyllaDB + logic inside app. The main issue I've run into is deployment. It's just very rough compared to CockroachDB or Postgres, which are single binary or v

Speaking only for postgres 15+, but in my testing, app drivers have been great about facilitating "connection pooling" without a separate server. Eliminates connection overhead at the app level for many projects. Golang and ASGI P

You'd certainly want to shard from the start in any case, but it's an order of magnitude less postgres boxes for the QPS.

These numbers make more sense on hardware from 5 years ago (to be fair, what they were dealing with), but postgres, on modern consumer hardware (Yes, consumer! Ex: KC3000 + Ryzen 7950x), already does over 50k QPS without being overburdened.

Similar to how the upcoming WAL2 works in SQLite, could do it atomically or "concurrent safe" like: - Main count file. - 2 "Append" files. ====== - Append 'a' to append file 1. - After some time, swap append fi

Bit of a nail in the coffin for me as of late. * No async drivers. * Total freezeup bug that only appears when MariaDB is under high load, since mid-2021 (10.6), not yet addressed. * Postgres 15 outperforming MariaDB in both my own SELECT a

It's a big plus for library and FFI interop so external styles don't take over your entire project. Also, John Carmack: https://mobile.twitter.com/id_aa_carmack/status/159256093820...

Ugh they removed Actionscript 2. Really disappointing. AS3 is a velocity killer.

It was an art tool first and foremost. This idea directed every aspect of the UX. Basically Unity, but far less friction, less ceremony, less busywork. Often the primary tool of the artists themselves. Actionscript 2 would allow you to get

Nothing has replaced Flash for low friction creative outlet for animations and games. Even artists could use Flash very effectively by themselves. The iteration time was mindblowing- Using Flash, I remember putting together Ludum Dare games

Gitea on SQLite for the ultimate ease of setup and maintenance. Version 19 is killer- Trello style image previews on issue cards / kanban board. Github actions! Also import / export from github / gitlab at any time.

Github actions are supported in Gitea 19, yes.

I'm the author of https://github.com/gnat/sublime-python-html-sql Just was curious if anyone solved this DX issue in a more elegant way.

Of course. I'm referring to HTML syntax in python string highlighting in your editor. How is support for that? Recommended plugins?

Intermittent fasting to lose, keto to maintain. Abs are made in the kitchen. Calories in vs calories out. Gym is good for tone and breaking a plateau, but you aren't likely to lose a lot in the gym only without a CICO change. Went from

Thanks. First thing I look for when looking at new editors. Electron leads to high latency and slowdown once your editor grows big enough- even on 8+ core machines. We have so many electron based editors at this point, including incumbent V

Sounds like non-destructive editing should come out in late 2050 (or 2060), which would be cool

Non-blocking I/O is essential for high throughput, but high latency internet native databases such CockroachDB.

Wall of text. Less is more. Non-blocking I/O is wonderful news though, especially for high throughput yet high latency internet native databases such CockroachDB.

I find it crazy how many people in here still believe these AI's are producing totally original works- the main source images are all ripped from art station and the like. Midjourney is painfully obvious in its use of the same limited
