Perl was python before python was python, and booking.com is old.

You can! Elm is interesting, though it's developer is a bit polarizing Also there are a host of nascent Rust/WASM frameworks starting to pop up. They really like the tree puns. There is Yew, Sycamore and Seed.

There existed many companies/people who would collect whatever you wanted and bring it where ever for a fee with a phone call. People would not be willing to pay the price however.

Don't get too hung up on this toy example being a database. The bottle neck could be any form of downstream service, possibly one you do not control. Not everything is a CRUD app running in the cloud.

This was what I noticed as well. The minute your db queries become expensive the sync workers end up slowing down and stopping other functions. If your workers are tied up doing expensive queries you might be holding up cheap queries that m

It is not uncommon to see someone cut across the road and scream at people in cars or throw things. Depending on the driver lots of different stuff happens. Some will drive around them, others get out and confront them etc. I suspect an aut

I don't know about New York but I live in a major city and I wonder what will happen when the homeless population figures out they can mess with them.

I did not use the mobile version until after they redid the design. I dont really have a lot of complaints about it. I like the dark mode and the address bar at the bottom it has ad blocker. What all changed between those versions ?

The app is a lot more snappy, not super fast, but usable. Search is still pretty slow.

Sure, but I think if you are discussing this type of thing in the context of python you have to use the threads/processes terminology to avoid confusion.
613.
by tempest_ 5y ago
In python there is nuance to the term threads. Threads in python will run in the same python process and use only one core. If you want to use more cores you need to use more python processes.

Rocket prior to 0.5 was not async and thus does not really preform well in those benchmarks. 0.5 however is async and is currently in rc, when it is released I would expect it to climb up the list a little bit.

Really? I have consistently heard the opposite. Actions has more polish but is not as feature rich is what I have heard.

My understanding is WASM is pretty performant except in the case when it needs to interact with browser apis / js where is preforms quite a bit worse than JS.

No but half of 625 is very easy math (half of 600 is 300, half of 25 is 12.5) and it makes doing everything else so much easier.

That feels like a totally fair assessment. I guess I would say that mailing lists favor producers over consumers. Often when I am looking at a mailing list it is for the same reason I am poking through a GitHub issue. I am looking for someo

I don't think discord or slack is a great alternative as it is very ephemeral (and not really open source / decentralized) but I do think interacting with a mailing list is worse than a threaded forum type layout.

In the spirit of the open source movement, the PostgreSQL community has always tried to operate transparently and fairly, and provide resources for people to adopt, use, and promote PostgreSQL. We continuously look to improve and are very

This is incorrect. The balance is stored on the card, in fact the balance being stored on the card is something that people complain about constantly because there is a 24 hour period where the buses need to return to the depot to update an

I think it is pretty easy to define tech company. Is the IT/Software Dev a profit center or a cost center, easy as that.

It is pretty obvious why it is better though. It is getting more input and it is getting faster input so it can course correct quicker and more aggressively. The youtube algorithm wants to optimize for time on the site, and the creators try

That is how I feel about these comments. In a vacuum I like them and when I bump into a piece of 10 year old code commented like this it is great. There is one caveat however, they have to be meticulously maintained and always updated to re

That is still sort of true, it was instagram, then snapchat and now tiktok. Time will tell how long tiktok lasts. I find as time goes on the internet is less fluid than it used to be.

That did not stop them from trying to strap a chat to it. I remember when I got the first "Chat", I was confused then immediately went to figure out how to disable it. I wonder if it ever got traction.

You don't need to ruminate on things like this but there is a lot of value in keeping a light dev journal of sorts about what you have done and the results. Makes it way easier in interviews or ever just in a normal performance review
