There's a lot wrong in such a small comment. First of all, the entire point of the article is the "hypothetical reason why...". Even if you didn't read the article, the title is pretty suggestive. Secondly, it ought to b

We host our own CockroachDB cluster on 3 baremetal machines. We also host 2 separate PostgreSQL instances, each with an asynchronous replica (which serve some of the read queries) and with bareman for PITR. The PG instances used to be on RD

Confused. If they're relying on engines from America/Europe/Russia, doesn't that meant that they are, in fact, behind?

Dengue is a serious health threat in Singapore. Fogging (1) is pretty common. Now, the Singapore government says fogging should be used judiciously, not routinely. But, that doesn't seem to be the case. Many condos will fog once a week

Yes! But that isn't something that all (or even most?) companies have full control over. Most people aren't going to be passionate about building, oh, I dunno, software for insurance companies, but it still needs to get done. Ther

Things companies control: 1 - Pay 2 - Work life balance (incl. remote work) 3 - Strong peers 4 - Control in _how_ things are done for senior developers 5 - Efficiency I'm pretty sure that most companies are, at best, 1/5.

The delay is all in compiling exs files. It uses Kernel.ParallelCompiler to compile every .exs file, so it's very CPU/core dependent. On my weaker laptop, `mix test` takes nearly 10 seconds to just start. I've looked into thi

I was hoping our `mix test` would be faster, but it doesn't appear to be. It would be nice if this got some attention fro the Elixir team.

At best, being able to build things that are built elsewhere would indicate parity. Further, for passenger jets, the C919 is far from being 100% domestically built (e.g., the engine comes from an american/french venture). I'm hope
