   It's emotionally difficult, because you've tasted being your own boss and it's hard to go back to someone else making your decisions. You should have more skills afterwards so you can easily get a job again. As long as you ha

   Yes, it's a design flaw. It means the dev can make a mistake, forget to check for nil, BAM CRASH! I even wrote a blog post about this very thing: https://wakatime.com/blog/48-go-desperately-needs-nil-safe-t... Nul

   Thanks. There's definitely a need for this, hence why I built WakaQ. Most distributed task queues have bugs or lack features and are overly complex. Would have been nice to find one I could have used instead of building my own. To be t

   Related, I also wrote my own distributed task queue in Python [0] and TypeScript [1] with a Show HN [2]. Time it took was about a week. I like your features, but it was easy to write my own so I'm curious how you're building a mon

   I do the opposite and seek out videos in other languages for my kids to watch. Now they're learning German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese.

   I like how simple it is, but I didn't like the threading.lock usage in your client because of overhead and bottlenecks.[0] Maybe it's not a problem, but my API doesn't use threading so locking isn't necessary. I prefer t

   Same here, using DigitalOcean instead of Vercel to host my Next.js app. I have a billing alert to notify of unexpected bills, but I don't know what DO does if somehow TBs of traffic are sent to my apps or Cloudflare, because DO App Pla

   Just integrated with payment APIs Stripe, Braintree & Coinbase. I let them handle recurring transactions while my system handles setting up those recurring transactions including pricing, prorating, discounts, and trials.

    I built my own hybrid billing system and yes it was painful, but it opened the door to more payment methods and allowed prorating across the different payment methods seamlessly. I think it increased my revenue, but I can't know for su

    Looks like it's exponentially faster than RocksDB, but in most use cases the bottleneck would be the network and available sockets on the machine running FASTER. Unless you're doing high throughput embedded data ingestion. Maybe N

    Yes you can, companies have deals with ISPs for individual real-time mobile and home browsing data. If you pay enough it has real names, otherwise it has person id and household id along with other data that makes it easy to associate with

    Auto-incrementing integers mean you're always dependent on a central server. UUIDs break that dependency, so you can scale writes up to multiple databases in parallel. If you're using MySQL maybe integer ids make sense, because it

    Now you can use PG to generate the UUIDv7 in the beginning then easily switch to generating in the client if you need in the future, but I think OP was talking about UUID vs auto-incrementing integer in general not specific to Postgres.

    by welder 3y ago

    Not OP, but I can answer this: Integers don't scale because you need a central server to keep track of the next integer in the sequence. UUIDs and other random IDs can be generated distributed. Many examples, but the first one that com

    MasterYoda900 has it backwards. However, my CPA said software engineer salaries are only categorized as R&D before the product is launched. So this only affects new startups pre-launch... if my CPA is correct.
