Not really. Where they recovered the 10% memory was by keeping shared state shared, and reducing the amount of memory that was copied into each process. With something like Django, there's quite a big startup tax you have to pay, so at

Carl Myer, a Django core dev, presented at Django under the hood on using Django at instagram. It was a really good talk that goes through how they scaled and what metrics they use for measuring performance. https://youtu.be&#x2F

https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/queries is a fairly good resource for practising queries and for looking at others queries against a relatable dataset.

I keep Sublime Text around for ephemeral scratch space, for quickly opening and then closing files, and for browsing through large files. Otherwise VS Code for my editing.

Yup, this is what finally got me to make the switch. There are a few things that aren't the same like alt-click for column selection (alt+shift+click instead), but it certainly made the transition easier. Keyboard commands are actually

But do they verify photos against claims? I'm certain they don't here in Australia (at least not 100%), because .. others .. have done this very thing when they were younger.

I guess I'd prefer to see this in wages and similar. Rather than increasing wages with respect to inflation, they've stagnated, and profits for companies, shareholders, and owners are much higher. > The problem comes in actuall

Why would the poor be worse off? Also, "if the left killed.." ugh. Can we stop with the unintellectual partisan snipes?

Isn't trickle down economics supposed to redistribute portions of that wealth? If you agree that trickle down isn't working because the elite are capturing it for themselves, then you could conclude that them being rich is a con

The link upthread mentions this. You ask for the photo. If the photo doesn't answer the question you can say you don't know, and ask for further evidence.

The photographs literally don't matter. As long as the form has a name on it, and the fine is paid, it's not like they're going to look at the photo and do a match against the identified driver.

I'm not trying to justify insurance company profits. I think it's mostly a load of crap. But the costs of a grocery store are pretty much fixed and easy to predict. The costs for an insurance company are far more complex, beca

Thanks! The careers page was one of the things that made it easy for me to apply - takes a lot of the guess work out. As far as VISAs go, it's something we'd look into for the right candidates. We have at times had registration fo

When I forked my dotfiles project I took the time to learn what most of the changes, commands, and config did. I removed a lot that I didn't find relevant. But I don't think I'd have gotten near to the current state if I&#x27

Yup, I'm aware of this and should have mentioned it in my comment. Thanks for the follow up. As an aside, how often do the tz databases for each language get released? Are they usually responsive to notices 3 days out? Edit: I went loo

I think this is solved by storing an event date as UTC (since we can't always know how many leap seconds will be required), but when triggering an event, we calculate the UTC from TAI + Leap Seconds. An event in the future isn't

Agreed. I recently changed jobs for the first time since his article was written, and it was extremely useful to me. I strayed from some of the advice, but what that essay did was give me the confidence to negotiate and some very effective

I'd choose C# over java, but I recognize that java currently has a better cross platform story.

I suspect for a lot of people the carrots aren't really that relevant compared to the cost of migrating. Async is one of the bigger ones and for us folks doing Django it's not on the menu. There are certainly quality of life impro

The SQL Server running in a VM is precisely the part you no longer have to worry about. Drive by contributors aren't going to do this when offering ORM patches. But if they have an easy way to test on Linux it becomes a lot more viable

I'm excited about this release because it means that developers of frameworks and libraries that target SQL Server will no longer need to have Windows available to test their software. As a specific example, the SQL server backend for

You flagged the story because you don't like SQL on the CLI? Come on. Whether or not you enjoy writing SQL on the CLI, SQL is a fine language for querying data, and is probably more common than xpath. JQuery seems like a strange choice
