I've definitely seen the first - probably the first major performance issue that everyone runs into when using an ORM. By "N rows", do you mean having a view that only renders a constant number of rows, but your database quer

> a surprising number of apps don't do pagination properly Could you elaborate on that? What's "properly"? Do you mean that they don't do it at all, or they do it in memory instead of in an indexed query? Or is t

Thanks for the info. Does avoiding indexing high cardinality fields keep down the memory usage of an open index? I assume it would reduce the disk usage as well.

Did you need a customized server configuration of Elasticsearch to enable this kind of throughput? And do you split your indexes up by day or some other criteria? We're running a similar configuration and I'd like to know the limi

Is there a cached version of the original article that's referenced in this anywhere? Site appears to be down.

Totally unrelated to the subject matter, sorry: what is the service that generates the author's picture on the top left? I've been seeing them a lot lately and I don't really understand why people use them in place of a real

good point. I imagine determining when to push these assets will become a complex choice though. Also, I realized shortly after commenting that I missed the obvious benefit of avoiding downloading global spritesheets and other compiled asse

As someone who's relatively new to tiling window managers (I've used manual ones like Divvy and Moom quite a bit though): is this approach only really effective with large monitors? I've given Amethyst and other WMs a shot in

Is there a page where we can test out these new captchas? I'm curious about how they work in the wild, and this post only shows gifs.

Is there a usable GUI version of NeoVim yet? (e.g. like MacVim)?

What's the monitoring program on the far right? It looks like it's running in a terminal as well, but I don't recognize it.

I'd argue the opposite about rate limiting - If you can add it in a way that allows 95% of valid use cases to never run into it, but stops broken implementations and bad actors from degrading your service, it's a net win for your

I think yxhuvud is agreeing with you, as would I. The original poll is conflating the two concepts.

Is anyone here using this in production (besides Hashicorp of course)? I'd love to hear about how it works with Ansible, Chef, etc. for real deployments. From the docs: > Terraform is not a configuration management tool, and it allo

CLOS and CLIM always sounded to me like the names of programs you'd expect to see competing at disc wars, or racing in a lightcycle grid.

I'm a Canadian student too. You can definitely get this, I got the email this morning. Try one of the alternate "prove you're a student" methods.

by robbles 12y ago
I renewed mine a few weeks ago after the 2 years expired. As long as you're still a student, just apply for renewal and they'll give it to you. I also got the student pack right away, probably because of my student status.

Try running it with `mvim -u NONE <filename>`. That disables all initializations from your .vimrc, plugins, etc. so you can see how fast "vanilla" vim is.

My (totally subjective, anecdotal only) experience has been that a lot of developers who have moved away from day-to-day coding tend to have less of a sense of what's new and interesting in technology. This would make sense, given that

How did it make $1350 in revenue? I can't see any revenue-generating aspects at first glance... it just looks like a user-submitted gallery site to me.

What's wrong with just a skull by itself? Despite all the shift in cultural significance attached to skull&crossbones, etc. that the article discussed, I don't see how any culture could interpret a human skull by itself as any

One problem with modern digital storage is the lifespan of the storage medium. Compact discs only last about 10 years, and the "longer-term" magnetic tapes are not much better at about 20-30 years [1]. It seems like we've mad

Looks like a useful resource. It's a little strange that you have to scroll through the entire list of libraries to get to the description at the bottom though.

Sure, it's easy to do with your own code. But what about apps that don't vendor their dependencies? If you need to pull in third-party dependencies when you deploy or test, it's still possible to maintain your own mirror, but

Could Github store mirrors of all repositories on some third-party service, like S3? Even if they were only updated every 24 hours and had a limited history for each repo, it still seems like it would be a really useful fallback that they c

It would still be vulnerable to a CSRF attack. The attacker can just get a logged-in user to launch their exploit, through a vulnerable site they frequent or even a link or image in an email.

I'm still looking for a way to deploy with Elastic Beanstalk without causing a brief interruption in service. It seems like a major oversight in the system it provides. I know you can do the CNAME swap trick, but that cause monitoring
