Haha me and you both. I'll be honest I saw the "amazon pays $300k for rust" comment in this thread and I checked back in to make sure they don't have any remote positions... And I avoid amazon recruiters like the rest.

My only, tiny gripe would be excessive space consumption on the somewhat small 20gb SSDs you get with Hetzner VPSs. I was trying to imagine the reason for this. Is it that dokku is similar to heroku, and does a build step upon git-p

Yes! I had this same experience. I was in linux + steam for a while before I realized I had to opt into proton-ifying windows games. They should enable this by default and keep providing good UX about it being in play in case you want to di

Been several years since I even considered bringing a windows partition back to play some new game. It's pretty rare that I run into a game I want to play that isn't well-reviewed on protonDB. Albeit, I am only commenting because

Am I right to interpret this as "do a non-changing UPDATE so that you get a returned row"? It's another great idea I hadn't considered, thank you. I'm worried this causes the row to get re-written on disk (an actual

It's a good idea to revisit, but I think I need SELSERT or something. Are you saying the `DO NOTHING` clause can still result in a row being returned with `RETURNING *`? My impression is that it can't but I'd be excited to be

My fuzzy take on a concern here could be: storage costs and memory usage. My impression is that it is written/copied to actual rows as xmin ( https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-system-columns.h... ). S

Unique constraints roll your transaction back. Put your `INSERT` in a nested transaction and you can fall back to `SELECT`, and keep going without throwing away previous work. In multi-table, write-heavy workloads, this insert-or-select pat

I wish utilities were more open about this data. I would love to see if EVs have done a good job (or maybe too good a job*) flattening out the overnight demand curve. Back in 2012, Georgia Power evangelists were marketing this as a path t

This is what I'm going to be digging for later... I'm wondering if puma also shares `env` objects across requests.

I keep flip-flopping between these as my needs change. I flipped to proprietary last time I tried some Steam games. I will gladly switch back to open source drivers if I'm wrong in thinking game performance on linux will suffer?

The time limit on patents/copyright imply to me that they are giving you time to recoup costs and enjoy the reward of your innovation. If that's so, I'd argue that over the last century the time required to enjoy innovation (

Thanks for posting this. I need to try it out. I'm specifically curious about how it performs when a certain amount of those 20k connections are busy and generating traffic. If I'm understanding, the anycable-go connection to ruby

If I could get better music support, that'd be a killer feature. A coworker and I immediately looked for a spotify or other music option and didn't find one. We resorted to placing TVs with really long youtube URLs, and synchroniz

I don't think regen braking is perfect (70% efficient maybe?). And if the battery is full, regen braking is disabled/lessened.

Coming as a ruby developer who dabbles in async rust in my free time, these posts/threads/links have been my best read of 2020 so far. My CS curriculum barely covered real-world lock usage, much less the ties to linux/windows

My assumption when I read your parent comment was: Two legs are more efficient than four, and can go farther before exhaustion... but that's full of holes. Horses are huge, bristling with energy, right?
