Congratulations on your journey. I'm myself in a situation in which I'm being offered tons of shares for a company that did ok pre Covid-19 but now is dead. I'm inclined to decline.

I understand you've been offered options at some point, right?

I certainly will. Cheers

Glad to be useful. On the other side, I can tell you that ClickHouse also misses a feature everyone in the community of users wish for, which is automatic regarding when you add a new node (sort of what elasticsearch does). And before I for

I see this as a very interesting project. I use ClickHouse as OLAP and I'm very happy with it. I can tell you features that make me stick to it. If some day QuestDB offers them, I might explore the possibility to switch but never befor

It would then be in your interest to know ClickHouse. I recommend your to have a look at it.

I must say that if scalability is not part of OSS then it inevitably smells fishy to me. I am willing to pay to avoid the pain of maintaining or designing clusters but not because it's the only way to scale up. There are too many optio

I bought an XPS 13 5 or 6 years ago. It is working perfectly after all these years of intense usage. (I wish actually it broke so I had an excuse to buy the newer version.) Unfortunately, XPS only carry intel. What would be a valid alterna

Fair enough. Good luck then with 2.0. I just wish the value proposition is strong enough to inspire users like me to try it again although much has to change for that to happen. I just wish I didn't have the feeling that the free versi

Yes, we use it as long term retention for Prometheus. I was also tempted to use it as stand-alone dB but never got to it. Do you use it as such?

Indeed, cardinality limit is a very painful aspect which blocked us since day one for certain metrics. I confess, at the time I didn't know any better. Now I wouldn't recommend it under any circumstances.

I approached InfluxDB since it looked promising. It did actually served its purpose when it was simple and Telegraf was indeed handy. Now that I have more mature requirements I can't wait to move away from it. It gets frozen frequentl

I would only use it if I needed to create a quick MVP/PoC but then I'd fastly run to implement it once the idea is validated. In addition to the reasons already mentioned here, I'd say login is one of those features every lan

Although interesting story, it seems the main issue was that the author never sanitized their analytics in the first place and blindly relied on data that was never confirmed before. I've seen this as a quite common phenomenon. No piec

One of the not so obvious reasons to like PHP is how quickly it brings business value to the table.

I guess the same could be argued for coding, in general. I myself don't have a degree in CS yet I can tell amateur code from well designed one (unless I have fooled everyone in the last 20 years!). The industry has ways to filter slopp

Side topic, sorry in advance but, am I the only one frustrated by how this page is rendered in a mobile browser? I know, probably this wasn't an issue back in 1998 but I would have expected something that was more resilient to devices

Funny enough, I lived in Mataró for a while and didn't know about him. I am also colour blind (I just confuse some colours, thought). I saw him tell with absolute pitch, tell colour/note associations, including in which colour a d

Only 13%? According to some independent sources, up to 30% (and in some countries 40%) of Europeans use adblockers. If you're interested, I can try to find out the sources. This is why I use my own tracking system.

Not to mention how horrible Confluence is, which is a product I can't believe how strongly it's advertised as a life saver. Any editor I've tried is way better. (Every time I have to "insert macro > other macros >

Jira is my daily nightmare. I guess the "no CTO was ever fired for choosing SAP" applies to Jira too. It just does the opposite of that it tries to do, which is making development tracking easy (not to mention those silly ideas co

It would be helpful to know which services you use. Do you use ML services or instances with GPU? Where is most of the cost?

I can imagine you can argue in favour of any statement, given your custom, ad-hoc anecdotical use case. However, in general terms, unit testing (together with a very clear domain design) are the most solid pilars of your software.

I didn't expect to read the name John Zorn here. This forum keeps surprising me.
