that's my first thought at as well - like a basic CRUD operation that returns the row that was created as a response.

I came here to say this --- I could never floss, until the dentist got me a Waterpik and then I was like wtf why didn't I know about this earlier, so so easy and i can just think of whatever while i do it.

I too found it a fairly boring read mostly just self congratulatory.

This is revolutionary!! truly exciting stuff, I wish I read more about these sorts of breakthroughs monthly....I hope we'll get to this level more regularly with AI biology models.

True, they're both very good.

I love the summary: "we study the signatures arising from a warp drive ‘containment failure’, ...." "Our work highlights the importance of exploring strange new spacetimes, to (boldly) simulate what no one has seen before.&qu

It's gotten significantly easier lately, I upgraded from v11 -> v15 with almost no downtime.

Me. I both love and hate RDS - the costs are exorbitant. I have to setup a kafka pipe streaming CDC events to replicate the data into other DB types to get the benefits of things like this.

Looks sadly derelict - though I see a small uptick in visitors today no doubt due to your post.

Same I hate using dental floss, never could get into the habit. Waterpik changed my flossing habits for life, can't recommend it enough; I don't use the mouthwash, just warm water so that's a good tip.

The rest of the world does WhatsApp, Australia/NZ/Southeast Asia/almost all of South America, it's massive.

We didn't even use red/green deployment; just had a multi-AZ deployment and migrated from 11.x -> 15.2 with about 30 seconds of downtime. No dramas really, didn't even need logical replication.

I disagree. I'm the technical co-founder and my co-founder non-technical; he's brought in so many soft skills around process, finance, sales, recruiting, etc.. that I would have (and would still) struggle at to replace. He's

This^ Trust is very important and if you can't trust your CEO to do the right thing and comply with regulations you haven't got anything.

I hope you find it as well, thank you for sharing...it can be quite soul crushing when you loose something that gives you a strong sense of identity.

I think a lot of people are actually pro-blocking Twitter. I like the fracturing, reduces the global hegemony of a single corporate entity controlling global communication. I'm also in that camp....no more twitter, EU competitors would

I've been in this rut for a while. For me? the solution was getting GPT-4 to start all my code, it's solved my "slow/cold start" problem. Once I have the initial code generated for my problem, editing it has proven

That's some nice advice, thank you.

This^, I'm very much the same. Going to sleep feels like it brings the next day, and if you aren't looking forward to what you have to do the next day....you put it off for as long as possible. I feel you.

I don't know why you're being down voted, it's a fair enough question. Most people overrate their abilities and are expendable -- I suspect Amazon also sees this as a convenient way of getting rid of people who no longer hust

That's nothing. At New Zealand's peak we had a 22 sheep to person ratio, now it's still 5 to 1. New Zealand also has >2 to 1 ratio of cows to humans as well.

Have you done this postgresql/RDS? Because when I last tried it, the replica has to be the same major version (WAL streaming requires it) and then upgrading it to the latest version can take 10+ hours. Definitely nowhere near 5 minutes

why do you have to cut revenue? you can't continue your current ARR while cutting costs? trimming people/infra? maintenance mode for a while until you can ring better operational efficiencies out?

by oulu2006 4y ago
A few people have said the same thing, why not bring costs down. 130M in ARR and you can't save 1M a month in burn? what is holding you back from letting go ~60 people and/or trimming other costs? Raising on those terms, that dilu

It's quite a common pattern, we did the same thing years ago using RMQ to achieve eventually consistent cache invalidation.
