It’s really shocking how wide the difference is here between Postgres and MySQL. One of the Planetscale guys did a podcast and said at GitHub every MySQL instance is doing like 50k+ connections while if you need more than 100 connections in

Django has caching built in with support for Redis, and it also has an in-memory caching option which they label as “not for production” (because if you have multiple instances of Django serving requests, their in-memory caches will diverg

The queue approach of `SELECT...FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` is great for low throughput needs. One thing to note: as your throughput increases you will have to deal with bloat. When the processed message rows are deleted, the pages sitting on t

What’s this look like in practice? Is this something like business process modeling and workflow engines, or something else?

In the book, “The Big Change” (1952), Frederick Allen talks about the year 1900, and (among many differences) he notes that for nearly everyone in the year 1900, the limits of their world rarely extended beyond their own town. We have this

This doesn’t seem to show any site I browse in the DuckDuckGo app, which raises the question, if DDG can hide connections it makes from showing in privacy report, can any (more nefarious) app do the same?

Being “on the network” doesn’t mean there’s an accessible API. See QuickBooks Desktop. Intuit forces you into using their API, which is XML-based and ranges from slow to timing out. Is the idea that someone will always reverse engineer it?

I don’t know how this works with the compilation angle, but this is often a life saver: try: # problem except: import code code.interact(local=locals()) You can add globals() in addition to locals() if desired. This dro

Not unless you know time travelers. It’s a statement about the future, and how this kind of industry consolidation tends toward regulatory capture. So in 5 years or so, we suddenly see laws everywhere that require expensive certifications,

Exactly. Eventually regulatory capture begins and eventually enshittification. No one can start a new plumbing/HVAC small business. Your only option is to go work for Walmart (metaphorically speaking).

Totally expected this to be about how, after earth’s digital information is wiped out by a solar event, the knowledge of how we do anything will only be preserved in physical books. I think about this often, as I’m reading or listening to a

You’re definitely boring, to someone. And you’re incredibly interesting to someone else. The goal is to find mutually interesting matches. And most people won’t be a match. It’s a numbers game.

It’s a signal to give their application a look. Nothing more. A lot of applicants won’t even have their CV looked at, simply because we will hire someone before we have time to get through them all.

The Goal audio book is included in Spotify premium. It’s surprisingly well done, in that it’s more like audio theatre with different voice actors, sound effects, and so on, as opposed to a single voice actor doing different characters.

In my experience a lot of it comes down to “proof of effort” We had a position that received around 1000 applicants. Only around 200 had the most basic keywords the job required, like “python” and “SQL” Only around 50 of those had a cover l

Yes, Replicache is more the local-first solution, if you’re going for offline-capable with eventual data sync. But requires some work to integrate your API, and thinking about how to do conflict-free updates with your API. I haven’t gotten
