I’m excited for the time when databases are built assuming that I/O is no longer the primary bound for distributed deploys, and multi-node by default deploys are a thing :)

Wow, this is absolutely amazing! I’m planning on using PostgreSQL at a deep level for YC Startup School, and I haven’t been able to find too many super in depth PostgreSQL resources for what I’m doing (looking at event generation, permissio

To an extent, this sounds terrifying. The first thing that jumped to my mind is that GPS be jammed or spoofed. In fact, the U.S. military in its shift away from COIN to great power competition in possibly highly contested environments is tr

Might be unpopular opinion, but I honestly think nuclear weapons are fine. Nuclear weapons are a 70 y/o technology, and I don't like my taxpayer dollars going to innovation in WMDs. Changing to something else would result in addit

Yeah...OP's comment doesn't make sense to me either. And frankly, MBS is far more powerful than Bezos is. It's a battle between a billionaire living amongst other billionaires in a republic, and a multi-trillionaire who'

I don't (or no longer) think it's great form to say negative things about former employers on the Internet, so allow me to expound on the positive aspects of my point. I think having great tooling / infrastructure at least gi

I wonder how much of this is due to safety, and if size expansion is due to safety, whether it’s a matter of trying to be in a bigger car than the other guy. Is there an ideal car size or will cars grow forever?

I wouldn’t disagree, and hopefully at 25 I’m still considered young. Get a FAANG job that pays well and executes well, then work your way into an elite tooling / infrastructure team. IMHO tooling / infrastructure is very clean in

Very much could be! Then again, I doubt Google would want to intentionally spin technical content for its own engineers, that might have implications for its own codebase, culture, and other deliverables.

As a SWE based out of D.C., I would be grateful if executive compensation is the biggest ethical issue for a company I worked for.

Google has this thing called “Testing on the Toilet” where they post factoids about Google’s codebase and best practices. I read one and it said FORTRAN is a highly secure language (or there haven’t been any security vulnerabilities found i

Whoops, confused Hajj with Arba’een. I did not know about the latter and I assumed that they were the same. Arba’een is much larger than the Hajj.

I mean, it’s not like I’ll be happy if the CDC and the federal government is unprepared and this becomes concerning and people die. If they’re prepared, then that’s good for everybody, and I am wishing the CDC success in its efforts to keep

I was under that impression too! Maybe it’s because the Hajj has much more disparate travelers that I bin it under “migration”.

I read on Reddit that Chinese New Year is the largest regularly occurring human migration event in the world. Millions of Chinese people gather on public transport and planes To go home to celebrate. It’s in a few days I think. Also I’m no

Woah you inspire me! I have a habit in my habit tracker of reaching out to one person every week via email, mostly developers. I’ve gotten mixed success honestly. Maybe I should try your template, much more succinct than mine :)

I second Bitwarden. I have >130 120-character auto generated passwords stored and can rotate / regenerate my passwords with little hassle. Also love having the self hosting option available.

This is an unfortunate, but I think necessary part of community growth. I really don’t think it’s possible to create a large community around a language that is business critical, and not have these kinds of setbacks where people get work

Author here. I’m really curious about your upgrade path for PCRE. Do you have a gist or a runnable available? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered or heard of that happening, would be great to understand intuitively!

Author here. When I made the correction, I took a look at what `ldd /usr/local/bin/hugo` gave me, because `hugo`, the static website generator I use, was packaged as a binary. `ldd` returned `not a dynamic executable`. I

I’m a Firefox ddg user, and I would recommend Chrome for devtools still. As of last month, Firefox devtools didnt even recognize meta viewport tags which caused UI discrepancies between testing and production. Chrome devtools does have it.
