I'm not sure, but I guess under the hood IBM does some emulation to guarantee backward compatibility.

One of the reason they still exist is that a software written and compiled in late 80s is still running in production environment unchanged since then. They also have some other cool features like "serverless", low operational ove

I think most people will just stick with the default option, very few people will change the search engine even if there is another one better. I remember the first years of chrome, people were using IE regardless of the fact that chrome wa

Yeah, I read ... just "wow". I hoped something more affordable, or even something more flexible like "you get the full rack, but you are enabled to use only x % of the capacity for a lower entry price".

Like too much the idea. If they manage to do get an IBM mainframe level after-sales support, they will rock. Does someone know how much the lowest level box costs?

why not? They discover the issue only because the attacker failed to renew the certificates.

I usually enjoy reading posts about benchmarks, but this one is nonsense: it's literally apples vs oranges vs aircrafts. The only part that makes some sense is Bun vs Nodejs, even if some important metrics are missing(response time, ra

Workflows engines are not just about deferring a http call or a specific language. They are a generic way to run some background process that doesn't need too much human interaction and can be coded in any language. If you need to orch

So, another monitoring issue here. It's incredible how far the SW industry gone in the last decades, but the way monitoring is done is the same as in the 90's.

In the short term I agree, but in the long term, no way the consumers will benefit from the absence of competition.

During the diapers war, Amazon was "on track to lose $100 million over three months in the diapers category alone"[0]. Do you call this "efficiency"? How many companies in the world can afford it? [0] https://

You miss the point: lower the prices is good, lowering to kill competition is bad for users and customers. Diapers.com is just an example.

Sad ... I think python need some performance improvement more than the no-gil stuff.

They use the `pyperformance` package[0] that, according to the readme, use real world scenarios. So I expect it to capture every significant improvement. [0] https://github.com/python/pyperformance

Benchmarks aren't too promising[0]. I wonder if the original 500% improvement they targeted at the start of the `faster cpython` project is still a realistic target. [0] https://github.com/faster-cpython/benchmarki

Postgres AI seems to be a "managed solution" while this is an extension you could use on your self-hosted instance. But, under the hood, they are very similar.
