Arguably, if you're using AWS, you've already compromised to a point where scaling horizontally is your path forward. You've likely given up much more than 10-25% by using AWS in the first place (note to the false dichotomist

According to wikipedia, Okinawan men now have a life expectancy below the Japanese average for men. Which is why I think it's useful to look at.

Isn't Okinawa a good place to start? You get two interesting comparisons: Okinawans vs other Japanese during the last century, and Okinawans then vs now. It reduces the number (or at least the scale) of differences so that you can bett

Take the telecom companies (AT&T, Telefonica, Tata, China Unicom, and on and on and on and on (these companies have hundreds of data centers each)). Then take the wholesalers (Equinix, Digital Realty, etc) - some of who count some clou

We're happy CockroachDB users. Can't put my finger on why, but this report comes off as almost pure marketing and not very substantive (say compared to the Backblaze reports). Maybe it's because I had to give an email (mailin

I think most JSON libraries encode dates in something that's closer to what Parler is doing than when you think is correct (e.g, using ISO 8601 or something) I could see the argument for representing impressions as a string (especially

Why not? Or do you mean "please, not in a production system where you share a host"? If that's the case, I think you have it backwards. In production, please, don't share a host.

Not sure if you're genuinely asking because you don't know, but the reason is because they have a policy for this (1). Personally, I find it both compelling and reassuring. (1) https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/t

I know people cry "whataboutism" when these counter arguments come up, but I'm genuinely curious how all this squares up. Most of the countries we'd hope would "stand up to China" have a poor human rights reco

That's A LOT of JS. At a quick glance, datadog appears to do a decent job with a lot less. Grafana does it in about ~20x less. Also, doesn't explain why a fresh install of Kibana is 5.5x larger than a fresh install of Postgres.

Gonna hijack this and share my wish for Elastic in 2021: A Kibana that requires less than 1GB of disk space and doesn't require loading ~50MB of javascript and css.

We just use Postgrex directly. Not sure about Ecto.

by latch 6y ago
Whatever the issue, it's compatibility related, as Elixir's PostgreSQL driver (Postgrex) works with PostgreSQL enums but not CockroachDB's enums, and it has to do how the driver encodes the values.

We migrated a medium-to-large (in terms of model complexity, not rows), from PG to CR about a year ago. It went pretty smoothly, but you'll definetly run into issues. (Very happy overall, btw) Every release has improved the compatibili

Go has its own set of problems though. There's the oft-mentioned error handling, "type" system and modules. However, more closely related to the OP, has anyone else struggled with the organization of even medium-sized systems

I'm honestly not sure if you implicitly meant that these other apps are popular/used - which would be valid, but I guess we'd need to get the market share #, or if you are asking strictly based on the presence of competition.

Unrelated, but I just want to rant. I hate how the minimum possible websocket message is smaller than the largest possible websocket header. You can have an entire message that's 6 bytes, but you can also have a header that's 14 b

Because the behavior is merely described, not enforced. It's relying on everyone to obey the two design rules that: 1) only the writing side should close the channel and 2) only one side should write. In this sense, it's as safe a
