The tradeoff in SingleStore is interesting. By default and unlike eg postgres, parameterized queries are planned ignoring the values of the parameters. This allows caching the compiled query but prevents adapting the query plan - for the ex

If I have multiple errors then that in-out parameter has to be a union(enum). And then I'm back to creating dozens of slightly different unions for functions which return slightly different sets of errors. Which is the same problem I h

What they're trying to convey is that errors are structurally typed. If you declare: const MyError = error{Foo} in one library and: const TheirError = error{Foo} in another library, these types are considered equal. U

I agree with some of this. My experience of tech podcasts though has been that it's often the same old people being interviewed, and that a 60 minute interview is often less interesting than a 10 minute talk where the speaker spent a b

HYTRADBOI 2022 had 571 attendees ( https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/hytradboi-2022-po... ). At that point even one matrix chat room per track became hard to follow. I'm looking forward to doing it on zulip

I think https://bangbangcon.com/ also had some interesting answers to this question. It's a shame they've had to shut down.

It did take me a while to write this (~20 hours, I think) because I kept worrying about that exact problem, and I kept catching myself writing generic advice rather than concrete experiences. I tried as much as possible to only write things

Most of the tasks in the article can now be solved by tools like airtable or notion with minimal training. Certainly much less training than would be required to do the same thing using traditional programming tools. So not only is the prob
