The fact that any technology runs Dockerised or within K8 can’t be its principal selling point (above what the tech itself does) imo. This ‘looks’ cool but I had to read a lot and still had to make some guesses about what it does. How about

I think nuclear power is great. Unfortunately we don’t have the means to fix a catastrophe should one occur (and it will, as safe as nuclear is, it it not possible to eliminate the possibility of a serious accident). ‘Safety’ has to be cons

Quasar was created by the same guy (Ron Pressler) that is the tech lead for Project Loom. The reason Quasar feels a bit abandoned is because he's bringing the thinking right into the JVM.

I agree with trying to reduce the number of cars in a city is a great goal for congestion, safety and pollution. BUT Has anyone seen what it costs to get around on the tube? Or the ASTRONOMICAL costs of train tickets if you live just outsid

I was going to say this - Toyota gave up on batteries after building the Prius. Their hydrogen fuel cell is clearly not the way the industry is going. So are they going back to batteries, the tech they said would never be commercially viabl

Nice work! Would you consider publishing that on GitHub?

On BitCoin this type of behaviour seems quite easy to spot but it happens elsewhere too - eg the S&P E-Mini futures and probably the Nasdaq futures. It takes remarkably few contracts to actually move the market - especially during the G

Just came here to say I hate Medium. I frequently get a strobing green bar at the top of the page that is permanently there and as far as I can tell doing nothing. WTF?

> The fact that you need a license, yet can't get one, is a clear signal that it isn't ready for production use. Everything you said is reasonable except this. If it isn’t ready for production use then no need to beat about the

I’d say it is nefarious to put out an EE version that’s marked ‘production use requires a license’ and then make it impossible to figure out how to get a license or what one would cost. Even enterprises would deep budgets would not let thei

I like Graal a lot but a lot of the performance benefits are in the EE version. That’s not in and of itself an issue except we are talking Oracle here. Several months ago I emailed them to ask what the pricing would be for my SaaS service t

Flashback to the time I encountered a project where they'd been storing text in bytea columns 'for performance'. To make matters worse, there were no indexes on anything other than on primary keys.

I quite like using iPlayer - not as slick as Netflix or Hulu, but not as bad as Sky Go.

Getting downvoted here but really not sure why - don't live in Silicon Valley (or the States for that matter) and it was a genuine question.

how did the managers doing the alleged retaliating get hired at google in the first place? I thought the crazy I interview process existed to get the right people?

I use logical replication with a modified version of Debezium ( https://debezium.io ) - I prefer it to NOTIFY/LISTEN as it means I can have my consumers completely decoupled.

You could use pglogical[1][2] and sync to an updatable view - it ought to be faster and it should be easier to maintain (the updatable view would act as an abstraction layer). [1] https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resource

Very neat list. If I had the know-how I would do 2 things to Postgres to make some of these items more useful: - Foreign key support for inherited tables (i.e. a foreign key referencing a table with inheritance, the other way round works ju

“Our results also show that sleep-deprived developers make more fixes to syntactic mistakes in the source code.” That statement, in isolation, could be taken completely out of context. Of course no sane person would conclude that a sleep de

Maybe they want to add experimental ideas as a testing ground? I'm sure anything worthwhile could later be upstreamed if necessary?

I sympathise, so much of today’s world caters solely to consumers and there seems a definite lack of things that cater to those who want to produce (in the economic or monetary value sense). I don’t know what the solution is - but for me pe

I remember when Quip were on Appsumo and I went for it but couldn’t understand why they were doing lifetime deals. Then several months later Salesforce came along with a $300m acquisition and it all made sense - user base. That said I will

For all that people wanted to run away from Java’s ‘complex’ toolset it seems modern JS has managed to recreate most of it. I wonder if we’ll do a loop with JSON and end up back at XML

I had never thought about this before but from this repo I can see all these smart engineers at the big tech firms live within their own walled garden (or prison?). If it weren’t for such a vibrant open source world then they’d really be st

I think your maths is sound but the question is what are the odds that multiple sensors fail on the same flight (and I don't know the answer)? Because as soon as one sensor fails that aircraft will go in for maintenance.

“This came so quickly and was steep” Somewhat poor choice by the writer here given the association.

The reason there should be 3 is likely because the odds of 2 failing are not unlikely enough from a safety perspective. There’s no problem if one fails but what if both fail and both corroborate a bad reading? Certainly the cost of 3 such s
