There was an article from Uber on why they shifted from Postgres to Mysql: https://www.uber.com/en-IN/blog/postgres-to-mysql-migration/ I don't know how much of that article points are still valid. The

Out of curiosity: Why not mysql? I am also surprised that no one has even mentioned mysql in any of the comments so far -- so looks like the verdict is very clear on that one PS: I am also a fan of Postgres, and we are using that for our

A tangential question: For someone looking to start using React Native (targeting both Android and iOS), is Flutter a viable alternative in 2024 ?

I am also intrigued by this question: What was different for guys like Ramanujan, and how were they able to tap in to this hidden reservoir of knowledge. And how can we replicate it One guy able to tap into this knowledge in dreams is an i

Got it! Thank you for the explanation Read this line on Wiki: "In Perl 6, we decided it would be better to fix the language than fix the user - Larry wall" Looks like a very good philosophical statement. Maybe there's a le

[ I have used express in my last company, and I am asking this as a user who had used it and found it to be really pleasant to use ] I am really confused by this. Is it really that stable ? For any software that was released this back, I

On the business side, I am with you and I don't use Threads at all (or know anyone in my circle who does) This talk is from a technical perspective - and whatever your thoughts on Threads are, it is a great technical feat to launch so

Wow, I came here to write exactly that, and its heartening to see that I am not crazy Just reading the title, with microsoft.com in bracket, I knew two things: 1. It would be written by Raymond Chen 2. That article is going to be awesome

I am also using intelliJ, but have started tinkering with Cursor My hunch says that IDEA should be worried a lot. If I am on the edge evaluating other tools because of AI assisted programming, lot of others would be doing that too

Thank you Stranger! I have been seeing lots of articles about NotebookLM, but had never tried it. Today I am going to try this (with a different article) for my 6 year old daughter. This looks super amazing to teach tough concepts to kids
