I'll share my personal answer: it made computers fun again. I was miserable with debugging flaky builds on large dependency trees and "works on my machine" issues. After switching to nix, now I see dependencies as being almos

The issue is if the dictionary has a key defined and the value is None. Your get expression will return None, causing your next access to raise an error.

Btree isn't a very useful index type for a vector, though. GIN, GIST, and the handful of new extensions optimizing for vector search are what you'd want (and don't have this limitation). Aside, you can increase the size of tu

PostgreSQL + ZFS is controversial. My experience was that it was inefficient on space and CPU, and especially memory. It would hang for 10+ minutes at a time one every day or two (doing a single threaded sweep across all RAM). And sometimes

To confirm your fear, you can't use the updated_at timestamp as a proxy for commit order. The commits happen in a different order, and can be arbitrarily far apart, like hours or days depending on how long your transactions can last.

I've been using gevent for 12+ years in a large codebase that uses it everwhere. It's wonderful, and I'm totally spoiled by how well it interoperates with code that wasn't designed to be async (especially library code th

It's unprofessional to do this in conflict with your company's interests. Use your own hobby projects to learn instead of leaving a maintenance project for your coworkers. It also creates an invisible bias towards worse companies
