QUIC handles packet loss better. But I do not think there is any benefit from HTTP2.

More successful than Rails? A technology which changed the whole industry?

Yes, and it does it by starting an instance of the old version and runs pg_dump against it. And that was one thing the original poster complained about.

Nope, that is totally unrated. To support upgrade in place without an old version of PostgreSQL: 1. The new version of PostgreSQL would need to able to read all old catalog table formats and migrate them. 2. The new version of PostgreSQL wo

The same is true for MariaDB so I have no idea what he is talking about. Both databases have multiple options.

That has not been my experience at all. The sysadmins I have worked with have strongly preferred PostgreSQL over running MySQL while the developers have cared, but less so. The reason is that when something goes wrong PostgreSQL is much eas

Yeah, upgrading to PostgreSQL 17 now would be weird unless you have some very specific feature you need in it and spent resources testing your application on the betas and rcs.

While I partially agree the solution is pretty simple to the multiple versions problem: use the official RPM and APT repos. https://apt.postgresql.org/ https://yum.postgresql.org/

To avoid having to slow down development of new PostgreSQL features. Improving upgrades in a way where PostgreSQL does not need to either maintain multiple different versions of parts of the code and/or lock down internal interfaces wh

The harsh truth that DHH made a ton of money but did not choose to dedicate his life to become filthy rich but instead also focused on making the world a better place through open source? I am no fan of DHH but I do not see any harsh truths

Every WordPress installation I have seen has had plugins. And likely used revisions too. So I would say about the same, both are mandatory features for most users.

But is Matt progressive in any sense of the word?

Why does a CEO even get involved in something like that? No matter who is in the right?

Reddit is much worse today than before the exodus, it is recovering and maybe it will eventually fully recover. The issue with the Reddit exodus is that people fled to various different platforms and not just one. Plus some people likely ju

Matt tried to call up a mob against WP Engine. For example with his talk but also the things he wrote in the admin panel of all WordPress users. It backfired and the mob turned on him. As far as I know WP Engine has not tried to call up a m

Because you are contrarian just to be contrarian? That is a very lazy thing to be, arguably even lazier than blindly following the masses. It is a way to feel superior without having to think. Why don't you read up and form your own op

Yes, it is very hard. But does Palantir succeed? Or do they like some other companies just trick customers with big wallets to buy?

This has not stopped banks in the past.

Isn't this the opposite? It is warning that WeChat's security might be weak since it is using weird non-standard stuff which means everyone might be able to spy on WeChat users, not just China. If WeChat fixed this then only China

They could force them to add a backdoor in the Element build uploaded to the app store so they can use that backdoor to attack specific users. This is why we need reproducible builds and code which automatically check for discrepancies.

What is absurd about expecting companies to do what many internet banks in some countries already do?

Given how he is now accused of creating a toxic work environment for household staff and defending his mother when she sexually harassed the staff it does indeed seem like he is not a good person at all.

Seems the author should just stop using a experimental bleeding edge distro like Fedora and go back to Debian Stable for example.

The C compiler does not optimize struct packing at all. Some languages like Rust allows optimizing struct layouts but even for Rust struct layout can matter if you care about cache locality and vector operations.

And Matt has refused to clarify when asked about it.

It is insane how Matt once again seem totally unable to understand the difference between Autoamattic and the WordPress Foudnation.

Actively running a harassment campaign against a competitor is not "making a mistake".

Both. Matt just does not think they contribute enough. Either that or he is angry that they are more successful than his own company.
