Yes it looks like a trick to circumvent taxes. But it wont work. The german tax authorities are not stupid: If you are living and operating from Germany for a large part of the year you have to pay german taxes even if your residency is som

But MariaDB is not selling to them. They are now only selling their enterprise version of MariaDB with ”Contact Us“ pricing. So those hundreds of thousands companies will not be a paying customer.

Only for mini DDoS attacks - for larger ones they disable routing for your ip address. I guess they don‘t have the capacity to handle the big DDoS attacks nowadays.

The article is missing a point. The author says he underestimated the impact on crypto. But he was completely right - after so many years crypto and the blockchain didn't really find its place. But he underestimated the get-rich-quick

No company will eever say that thereyare plans for aggresive monetezation. They will always say everything stays the same - open-source mindset etc. Until 2 years later there is a license and pricing change. One that will make it 10 times m

The 90% didn‘t account for his time working on the stuff. So you can reduce from the $500k/year his salary - and now the 90% margin is far away. Indie hackers never factor in their working time.

Hey everyone, Tobias here, the author. I am a developer fascinated by databases for over a decade and I have consumed (and still consume) everything I can find about them - including every article shared here. When helping other developers,

Is there a reason left to use ivfflat compared to hnsw? I am not that deep in the tech. But if hnsw is much much faster thats a big argument. Is hnsw better in every aspect or is the recall accurracy better for ivfflat?

Everyone starts to compare quality of live and salaries in America vs. Europe. But you are missing the biggest point! Not everyone is working in IT. And a ton of people do not make $200k+/year. We're in a group that is very well p

They couldn‘t use CTEs because PlanetScale, which is built on top of Vitess, does not support them. So the most straightforward solution is just not available for them.

A lot of advertisers left Twitter one after another after each change by musk. Especially his change to allow hate speech (because free speech!) led to an exodus. Now there are only very low-quality ads by drop-shipping companies left. I be

It will take them months to build something competing. Should they tell everyone to bot fly because they don‘t have their own database solution yet?

That‘s the problem of unikernels. There are papers how great they are but almost nobody is using them. If applications could easily get a 25% boost without much work they would do it. But nobody is using it. So I am not trusting the „benefi

You can‘t use the CloudFlare CDN to offload the egress for file downloads. That‘s against their terms of service.

The cloud providers now know of this bug. They will live migrate you to a different machine or shutdown reboot. Only on-premise will have this issue.

I guess it was just wrong names of the parent. He shared that OLTP databases are not good for the use-case but OLAP databases designed for analytical purposes like ClickHouse or Timescale are perfect for this. However, Timescale is not a re

The cloud has the same problem but in a different color. One employee created and managed everything in AWS and then quits. You have the same problem that nobody really knows how to continue from that point. Why was it built that way? Why a

But you are not the home user target audience. They want to sell you the more expensive workstation or server models.

The message seems to be targeted at the „webscale“ folks. Something like: Look, one 6$/month server can do more than you ever need. You don‘t need {complicated stack}. Just use two 6$/month servers.

Thats not how PostgreSQL works. The primary key is only included in every secondary key for MySQL. PostgreSQL secondary indexes directly point at the page and rowid.

And they didn‘t say how big such a notebook will be, how much it weights and how often you hear fans screaming when you try to use its power.
