When I was in university, one of our major projects was to implement a rdbms. Super fun project that taught us a lot of respect.

I could see some niche uses for this. Anywhere you want a quick and dirty local db for demos and hacking. That said, I think you'll get more mileage out of SQLite. It is generally my go to for these use cases and far richer and more po

It is about the money for Apple. That is all it is about. What's next? Are they going to want a 30% cut of any transactions I make through the Vanguard or E-Trade apps?

China is also make large investments in side stepping Intel and AMD in the form of Zhaoxin's x86 CPUs. At the rate they are progressing, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they at least match Intel and AMD on x86 performance within

I spent a long time with Lubuntu as my go to. Things have certainly come a long way, but I was more than willing to put in the time tinkering to get things working. The past couple years, I've been using Windows 10 with WSL2 for person

It might be nostalgia talking, but those years felt like the end of a golden age. I went to university at 17 in 2001 with a Dell notebook and a self built Duron (IIRC) tower. Instead of partying, I used my new found freedom (and decent inte

My folder structures mirror the various git remotes I use. At the root of the structure, I have github, gitlab, bitbucket, etc folders. The contents of each mirrors whatever repos I'm working on for each. All my personal stuff is backe

Is there a privacy policy? I couldn't find one, but maybe I didn't look in the right place. How do you intend to monetize? It is important to make sure your business plan aligns with my potential use cases. Small typo: it is missp

What I was trying to say is that I was anticipating having to write and maintain a bunch of glue between firebase and these tools and maybe eventually outgrowing this glue. A benefit of using a traditional SQL database is much of this stuff

I see a lot of the topics/questions here paralleled more and more on-prem. A decade ago, we assumed the network running on the hardware we owned was safe and didn't bother with things like encryption and authentication if the clie

I expect that our business logic would eventually have outgrown rules and cloud functions. We used algolia to do full text and geo search. It worked, but I expected eventually it'd be really painful to reindex. Same sort of thing with

I've used Firebase for a couple MVPs. It is very fast to develop on. It makes it easy to get a web or mobile app up in a few hours once you know what you're doing. It is definitely possible to be that fast using other technologies

My tools of choice are similar: sqlite, DB browser, Jupyter. I've found that DB browser struggles with analytical queries on tables over a few GB though. Still an invaluable exploratory tool.

Super cool. Good thing they don't let me fly spaceships though!

Redis is painful to use in a highly regulated environment where all data must be encrypted in transit, all access logged and audited, etc. Personally, I think the requirements are over the top and focus on the wrong things a lot of the time

Startup idea: auto twitch highlight to youtube aggregator as a service. Put in your channel, upload your intro, outro, and paid testimonial for raid: shadow whatever, profit.

Their opt out system is driven by typeform.com. I'm not familiar with this service, but it seems to have caps of at most 10k opt out requests per month and 4GB of uploaded images. They might be on an enterprise contract with different

Could I just say I'm a resident of CA or the EU? Clearview supposedly doesn't have any info other than public images, so how would they know the difference?

Funny you should mention it. A similar hypothetical weapons system is deployed against Cthulhu in the excellent short story A Colder War by Charles Stross. See http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/colderwar.htm

My general approach is to create monitors (in something like Splunk or ELK) that watch logs and fire alerts (email, SMS, PagerDuty, etc) if their conditions are met. I create monitors for health issues like watching for out of memory or pod

Rick is awesome. Bought the book without hesitation. Can't wait to dig through it. I've used DynamoDB in production (small scales only sadly) on a number of projects. Definitely done it the wrong way a few times!

I remember these days fondly. Surfing the web on 486 at 28.8kbps. it felt slow, but worth it. Most information to be found existed because someone thought it was worth sharing. A golden age to be sure.

What a shame. I rely on Omnigraffle every day. Some aspects of it are showing their age, but it is still the best tool on MacOS.

Nice. This looks promising. Very clean API. I like the focus on a narrow use case. Do you have any information on security topics like using TLS, client authentication, etc?

Full text search on fairly arbitrary content that will perform well and return high quality results is a pretty hard problem. It is largely a solved problem now, but it takes more work than just throwing everything into a Lucene index. That

I've given up trying to use Confluence. Our internal instance is a wasteland of smoldering ruins. It is such a hideously bad tool on so many levels, including a "search" feature that will fail you even if you search by exact

I just use a package.json in the repo root as it doesn't really bother me. It very rarely changes so I pretty much forget its there.
