Every release has brought the function parity closer to PostgreSQL. When we first migrated, it didn't have enums or partial indexes, or (a rather long list of thing). Now, I'd say there are 3 big missing features: - Extensions, if

I haven't heard of the single-assertion thing in at least 10 years, probably 15. In the early 2000s, when I was starting out and doing .NET, it used to be something you'd hear in the community as a very general guideline, more lik

Honest question: isn't it a stroke of the pen that then must be executed? The proclamation is a very short read and what I got from it is that now things need to be "administered" and "developed" and "reviewed&

I've had 2 Dell XPS's running Ubuntu, a 9300 and 9370. I very recently switched to an Air M2. The build quality between the XPS and the air is night and day. The 9300 flexed so much that when I picked it up with a single hand, the

Hardly dumb. They include a variable length, payload masking, their own layer of fragmentation, different message type, validation (txt vs bin) and an extension framework.

I'm going to beat a dead horse, and say that hiding comment score (1) was a mistake (1) - although I realize I'm in the minority. It removes information, and I think that's generally a bad thing. I'll often see a comment

Off topic, but I never heard of nebula (don't watch much videos). It's amazing how slow that site loads for me. Their /videos takes around 10s to load. I need to wait almost 3 seconds for _something_ to show up on the page.

I read the blog post and the Java documentation (which is more informative), and maybe I missed it, but I can't figure out how you define the # of streams/partitions. Is it defined when the superstream is created? What's the

CockroachDB has column families which we use in a very few cases. We have some fairly wide tables with a few stats columns that are updated normally a few times per second, but can go up to hundreds of times per second.

I'm not sure you and your parent understand what an SLA means. It's an agreement that, when broken, incurs a penalty. They aren't saying they guarantee 100% uptime. They're saying they'll pay you for any downtime. I

There must have been _some_ intersections of time/technology and/or cost/efficiency where this didn't hold? Where a weapon system became _so_ vulnerable that, despite being the best at its job, it still wasn't good

I've been (technically) blogging on my own site for 12 years, and a number of years before that on another platform. I'd say around 10 of those posts have made the front of HN. I struggle to (a) come up with things to write about

This is why a lot of people don't test or claim that testing takes more time since "we spend half our time fixing the tests" - a lack the experience to design code that's testable. I think it's also worth pointing o

This procedure is officially documented (1). Since we're talking about copying a folder, I'm not sure why you'd feel safer doing it via an additional layer of abstraction. (1) https://www.postgresql.org/docs&#

Some migrations are non-trivial and might take hours or days (e.g. they could involve hitting external services, or might require manual work). Sure you can default these, but `null` is probably semantically correct in most cases

I don't know Django and what Django-specific problems/solutions are available, but AFAIK the only scalable (and largely language agnostic (1)) solution is to break these down and deploy incremental versions of the app. For example

I've been doing elixir professionally for 6 years. I realize I'm in the minority, but as someone who _reads_ a lot of code, I feel that the strong emphasis (and in some cases, requirement) to extract functions seriously hurts read

I think this is a good idea. It's essentially what I mentioned with Paypal requiring OTP before the signup process starts up. But as you said, it adds a lot of friction to something most companies want to be as frictionless as possible

You can remove username enumeration from login and password reset, but it's much harder to remove it from signup. And this is pretty much an all or nothing, there's no point giving cryptic error messages (in the case of forgot pas

It doesn't overlap 100%, but I'd strongly recommend you first find out if Vector ( https://vector.dev/ ) fits your needs. Unlike beats, it supports 45 different "sinks" (destinations) and the documentation

WAFs are security theater. False positives and false sense of security. People say "security in depths", but WAFs add nothing that don't 100% _have_ to be mitigated down the stack - this 8K limit is just another part of the j

While this might be technically true, I think it's worth pointing out the typical solution: append a character (usually either \t or ') to anything that looks like a formula (i.e. anything that begins with @, +, - or =). The chara

That's a bit too YAGNI for me. You have a `users` table with an `tenant_id uuid not null` column. You aren't going to need uniqueness on it and you aren't going to need range operations on it it. And..even if you did, you cou
