I've been using Linux every day for 15 years now. I love Linux desktop, not perfect, but neither is Windows. I started with Gnome 2, jumped over to KDE 4 and now KDE 5. Very happy with how well and smooth everything works.

You mention a lot of frameworks and libraries that abstract frontend development into its own "kind". I feel like you're already colored with the "crap" they come with. They all abstract something very simple into s

I did something similar 4 years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made. I did consultancy, sold myself cheap compared to the big consulting companies and helped several startups becoming real businesses. I loved it, every day was aw

ZFS has checksums, so you get a message if some bits are off. Backups has to be verified regulary, there is no exception even with ZFS. For example once a week I fire up a PostgreSQL instance on my remote backup server by cloning one of the

I use NFS, which works really great and is faster than what most people believe. With the exception of no local page cache which impact latency for some applications. iSCSI is another great alternative, and with iSCSI you will also benefit

Getting backup right is extremely important, that is why you need proper tools. For the last 10 years I have been using ZFS snapshots and replication. I keep 180 days with snapshots on the remote backup and 30 days for the local. I use it t

I love Firefox and use it all the time, but for the last few years one of my biggest pains is the OSX performance on my Macbook Pro. Is this close to be resolved soon?

For data analytics I use ClickHouse instead of PostgreSQL. There is a PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) for the ClickHouse database, but I have never used it.

Not at all, with Hibernate, Spring, Groovy, building web applications is much faster and more maintainable than other alternatives. I am a huge fan of the Grails framework, they do a lot of things right. As a developer I can focus on creati

I think Citus Data is doing something right, they have an alternative to AWS RDS and some additional features. It still runs on AWS, but I think everyone who has tried to run PostgreSQL RDS on AWS has seen how slow it can be. A consumer gra

The biggest failure I see with Docker is people not using the signal system in POSIX. Want to stop a container running a java application? You hit ctrl-c and send sigterm to the bash shell...not the java process. Or the default settings in

The most scary thing about using consumer grade SSD's in a file server is the amount of writes you do. For many use cases this is fine.

fsync performance on ZFS on Linux isn't as performant as it should be either. On my Optane 900p I have almost 10x better fsync performance on FreeBSD compared to Linux.

Thank you for that presentation, it is pretty cool to see other production systems using FreeBSD + ZFS together with PostgreSQL :-)

Same issue here, I think it takes on average 30 seconds to open Messenger. Facebook is similar. Twitter is also slow.

CoL? Seriously here in Norway getting over 100K € annually is becoming normal. If you are really talented, then you can even make 150k € annually. Freelancers make over 200k € annually. There is a huge shortage for developers these days, mu

I have one of these too, run a PostgreSQL server. You get fantastic fsync performance for that price too. Not Optane level, but almost at the same performance as a dedicated Intel S3700.

I highly recommend Clickhouse for this. It is blazing fast and can do over 100GB/s on a single modern machine if you have enough RAM. And it is very easy to install and configure.

These are consumer level SSD's that are very well known by professionals to be slow. They are good for quick bursts of traffic but throttles with heavy use over time. They also have horrible sync write performance https://fo

My last job was a freelancer, which was fantastic. But then I met three ambitious guys and we built a company with now over 100 employees in just two years.
