I'm not sure where I suggested "Hey, long time Postgres users, you should switch to MySQL!". The point is it's a solid modern database and a completely fine option in 2020. MySQL8 supports functional indexes and concurre

MySQL 8 is very solid and has resolved the vast majority of the gripes of the past. Postgres is, as always, amazing software, but MySQL is no longer the choice to be shunned.

You don't need margin, you only need enough cash to cover the maximum loss, which is can be very small. e.g. right now if I wanted 3 put spreads on AMZN at 2640/2635 expiring this Friday, it would give me a net credit of about $2

He had a spread. The short leg was assigned, the long leg cancels it out but it doesn't happen instantaneously. So he temporarily was on the hook for -300 $AMZN shares or whatever, which made his buying power massively negative. Then t

Cron is a scheduler that executes shell commands. Lambda represents the shell command itself right? What are you using to specify when something should run?

Sorry, I must be missing something in this blog post because the requirements here sound incredibly minimal. You just needed an HTTP service (sitting behind an Envoy proxy) to process a mere 500 requests/second (up to 1MB payload) and

Google doesn't need to block them on a technical level, they just need to send a simple C&D. If Brisk keeps scraping without permission after that, they can look forward to financially a ruinous legal battle [1]. Or they could just

Yep, but that's simply how the linux kernel works [1]. As a programmer you need to essentially load up all your modules/libraries/data/etc that you will need into memory before the fork, and treat the forked() processe

metasearch.com was my bread and butter to mitigate that hellscape, though altavista was probably the best in the mid 90s. Ask Jeeves if I was feeling particularly sophisticated.

parquet has a very narrow use case. it's great for internal operations but interoperability is limited unless both sides use one of the same handful of tools. csv is supported by literally every tool ever designed to work with data.
