Reminds me of the fantastic movie The Abyss (1)...vaguely recall a similar scene where there's N tanks of oxygen for N+1 people, so they submerge 1 of the crew to lower her (i think) metabolic rate. Curious why they don't have eme

Sending messages asychronously and not knowing who (or even if anyone) will handle it is pretty desirable. Like a holy grail of writing maintainable software. (think of async communication via a queue) Isn't always possible, but it&#x

The company that I recently joined uses honeycomb.io, versus ELK at my previous job. Maybe I haven't played with it enough, or maybe we have it badly configured, but I find it a huge step backwards. As far as I know, there's no fu

Does the spec have any execution requirements re WITH? Pretty sure `WITH` in postgresql is gated and thus can have considerable performance implication vs a nested query (or none at all depending on the query).

Your first example has _nothing_ to do with static or dynamic typing. There are plenty of dynamic languages that will fail to compile or bootup with a helpful error message on a failed rename. This is what's frustrating about trying to

Maybe this is naive, but don't tariffs, like subsidies, risk encouraging local inefficiencies? So your point of view seems shortsighted? I understand that in theory they can be used to capture externalities to level the playing field,
