If you like the harder blind guardian songs more (like mirror mirror) have a look at the band Persuader. The singer somewhat randomly sounds like Hansi kürsch and all their songs are more towards speed/heavy metal but with clear power

Yeah but it's also an absurdly rare occurrence that someone would put 100% of their wealth I to the stock market RIGHT before the crash and then never invests again (more than the dividends). These headlines are fun and all but not ver

I was in a similar boat but did end up having a son recently with my wife. I am still pretty sure that I would be happy without kids but I am also happy with a kid. One thing I think people do tend to overestimate is how much work kids will

I have never understood the point of theft prevention at a self-checkout via the weight checks etc. If I want to steal something I just ... don't scan it? And keep it in my backpack. I don't see how the buggy weight checks serve a

Is this nominal or real GPD? It's not surprising that GDP can grow in a high inflation environment, doesn't mean anyone is better off for it.

The difference between Game (engine) dev and modern microservice development is pretty staggering. It actually cuts both ways. As a webdev when I dabbled with some OpenGL programming it actually felt amazing how much stuff you can cram into

Apparently Ilya has been leading people in "feel the AGI" chants and "I can feel the AGI" is his catchphrase within OA. So yes, some people might have gone of the rocker a little bit.

I mean it's still the 8th biggest economy in the world, so not exactly small. People always find this very surprising giving all the issues the country has but the north has many centuries of high-end manufacturing history. In particul

On my Samsung S23 I can use the fingerprint reader without "tap to wake" just on the black screen. Is that not possible with pixels?

Contrapoint: Samsungs UI is much cleaner than modern pixel phones. After a minimal amount of setup it gets much less in the way than stock android on pixel phones.

The reason why you want to use skip locked is so that Postgres can automatically skip rows that are being concurrently accessed for updating the "status". You are right, if you update a "status" field you don't real

Considering that you have a native "offset" (auto incrementing id) and the ability to partition by date I would say postgres is a great candidate for a simple Kafka replacement. It will also be significantly simpler to set up cons

I have the same issue but even worse: If I do it too fast it works! Somehow it takes longer to find the app than it does to suggest a websearch, so I need to wait 1-2 seconds after typing not to open edge...

I always find the anti-billionaire sentiment a bit weird in the sense that it's not like they have literally been given billions of dollars in cash. Most billionaires net worth is highly centralised in the stock of the companies they f

The problem with scala is that the core devs seem to be working against what the community wants. At it's core it's still a research platform for many and it shows in the priorities for what gets included in Scala 3. Also while in

The irony is that Go actually does have sum types, but only for generics! type A interface { Foo | Bar | Baz } Can't use this anywhere but in generic type signatures though :(

I can only imagine that the amount of money you have to spend on IT for a myriad of different devices + the security implications + the hurdle to get non-technical people to manage their own devices is just not worth it. Let's say amaz

Or a bit more 'web scale's use wal_insert and the outbox pattern to transactionally replicate events to a messaging system (Kafka etc).

I had a similar setup at a previous gig and didn't find it particularly challenging. Whenever an update happens to an entity in PG we send a message to async replicate that entity in ES (via ID lookup in PG). As always you need good mo
