No. When the ad spent increases the sales person, manager etc. get a bonus. And you don‘t do anything to improve quality which would reduce ad spend.

Optane SSDs had been great! They have the fastest write latency which made them e.g. perfect for databases or the ZFS ZIL which is a write of any new block to a special space (on that optane ssd) that will later be rewritten to the slower s

But Apple is basically only their devices, and the iphone the biggest one from all of them. Google is a myriad of services and their money is made from advertising and cloud. Android is just a very small part. So when you compare smartphone

Are you still planning to write the article about cases when SQLite is not a good fit? Would be really interesting because we only hear stories when someone believes it is the best fit.

One of the bests I had written in university allowed you to bring every non-digital material you want to have. All slides? The books? The former exercises? No problem! The test was designed to be built on 2 primitives: 1. If you need to loo

They all have the problem, but they invest the time and knowledge to find more and more of them. They know that a free tier is vital for getting developers on their platform. Heroku is already a big name. They are bought by salesforce. They

The building in public didn‘t work either. The solo-founder (developer) wasn‘t getting any traction with what he did. The the co-founder (marketer) joined and only then they started to get customer and a lot of traction. It‘s not the build

Are you sure it‘s written by a film geek? The first 3 paragraphs are so similar in what they are kust with different words… I think it‘s an AI generated text: a lot of filler words, no clear message and restates again and again a basic conc

Ans as all of that is really complicated I suggest everyone to partner with a "Merchant of Record" (MoR) like paddle.com and some more. Basically you are not selling your app or service anymore, paddle.com is doing that. They are

PgBackRest is working like Litestream to archive the WAL files, and for PG you can get those tools for more than a decade! Litestream is nothing novel. But you can‘t get it down to 1s, the minimum is 30s.

Friends of mine are mixing weekends. They do one together followed by one each doing things by their own they want to do. So the introvert can e.g. stay home and refresh while the extrovert is again meeting people.

The point is the query plan will most probably look totally different. A fulltext search or GIS search is calculated differently than a btree lookup and PostgreSQL choose a complete different joining strategy. This can also happen when comb

You have a lot less problems in a single VM: There‘s (hopefully) a clear path on how to install software etc. and it is easy to understand. If your distributed PostgreSQL operator written by someone fails you‘re out of luck and it will be r

Being on chain doesn‘t have an impact if it still needs centralised architecture like DnS and a webserver with a static ip. It‘s no problem taking them down if it would be legal to do so. But I don‘t know why its not legal to simply cut t

It‘s definitely worth it! I share a database tip on https://sqlfordevs.io every two weeks and get a lot of feedback. I started on Twitter almost a year ago sharing weekly tips but I always felt the 280 characters to be limiting.

I am using mailbox.org and they are very good at what they do. The company behind them do mailserver stuff for 20+ years. BUT their UI is from the 90s which rules them out by the requirements. It‘s not a bummer for me as I never use the Web

Metadata inside vectors sounds interesting. How do you use them? Because something like `id:234` would get splitted into two vectors making searching for it complicated.

Interestingly solutions like docker csn also make the system less complex. With CoreOS you get an operating system reduced to the bare bones just for running containers, there‘s a lot less complexity if your os is only designed to run conta

Citus in PostgreSQL main would be great. Currently Citus is one of many solution but being in main would make it the solution. PostgreSQL would officially be a distributed database, not just by stacking some plugins on it.

All of your examples are vendor specific extensions to SQL. Nothing of that is part of the standard. So you are effectively hating a specific implementation which is not that logical.
