Using sequences is clever if you always increment a sequence for every insert, but again my analysis says that unless your table clearing is much slower than mine it's hardly worth it to check, in fact checking the value of every seque

I think you are right on every point, which is why we should agree that using python async is a bad decision and anyone starting a new project should not use it . Threads might not be what all the cool LLMs are doing, but I have never s

tracking the table inserted to isn't reliable without some kind of trigger based registry as it requires all db interactions to go through some kind of orm or something which we don't do because it's a bad thing to do. Somet

You clearly know what you are talking about and I agree with what you are saying 100%, if you are spending almost all your time waiting around, you should address that. Generally the OS has a better solution there as well, in fact linux ha

We use pytest with xdist and we run as many as the system it is running on can handle. Each xdist process creates and sets up it's own test_db with a unique name (and drops it at the end of its run if possible). Setup and teardown ar

actually no, and we have something weird for that too: We have code that creates one master sequence then replaces every sequence in the testdb with that master sequence, so all tables pull from the same sequence. That way you can never ac

Just turning off fsync is basically just as fast as a ramdisk and you can't use up all your memory with one big test.

Our db clearing takes like 5ms (large schema from mature company, not a toy). We start by restoring a production schema dump which ensures our test db / devdb schema is basically identical to what we run in production. Any migratio

There are like 43 tiny icon libraries and frameworks for web design. AI didn't start this trend at all. This article is just "put AI in the title and it will get attention" and apparently it works.

I don't like it, but I don't like it because it is impossible to make it performant. What if I told you there was one of the greatest engineering achievements of mankind ready to make sure your threads run whenever they can, but a

All startups barely publish their research, because doing that would be incredibly stupid for the most part, because they want to sell the stuff they invent not give it away for free.

There's a very nonzero chance that the AI expenses are not a race to recoup investments as they are a bet (with other people's money) that AI will lead to longevity or immortality, a bet made by aging tech oligarchs. Notice that

async python is always slower than just naively using threads. I don't think there is any application in production anywhere that would not prove me right on this. the complete lack of any kind of scheduling is a disaster. unless yo

Opencode's cache hit rate is better than claude code. Opencode has in my experience been better than any of the closed source / closed development alternatives and is not locked down. https://news.ycombinator.com/

It's a testament to how broken modern business practices are that GoPro can sell 1.2 Million cameras per year and still go out of business. It's possible they are just poorly run, and they spend more in R&D than they recoup in

1. It's only going to get harder to identify these articles. 2. Labeling the ones that are honest about being AI generated punishes honesty and rewards lying by boosting AI generated articles that say they are not AI generated.
