I think it depends on what you do, if you are doing repetitive work between projects, you're going to find that yes GPT can do most of the work you're doing. However if you're creating new systems, with multiple components an

The job queue had it's own table. It's basically whatever was the default of the job queue library we were using.

Yes, one of the theory was that the index wasn't the problem because there was already a multi column index on that particular column. However the PG analyze tool showed some particular query didn't utilize the index, so there nee

Yeah, I think though what happened in this scenario probably happens a lot everywhere else also. In my entire career, this type of scenario is very typical. Lots of Meetings / discussions, standups and talking uselessly without jumping

There was a fear that having to create an index on a table that large would take a long time, and I think some of it was also ego "I intentionally didn't add it in, because so and so reason". This was why I dug in and did my

During my tenure as CTO at a fintech company I built a banking engine using postgres backed queue system using Elixir / Phoenix. It's still in use today. The company processed large volumes of transactions and we were able to do t

Do you have any plans on releasing an Ecto Client? Basically What I would like to do is deploy my phoenix app at the edge, and have a postgresql database centralized in some other region. Let's say for example my centralized postgresql

Yes I did assume the "news" being local news media covering the case. I guess this is a prime example of what could have also happened. Sweet irony.

It's not that the past is not true. The past is true, what was reported is not. We know very clearly where the problem lies. The media is a lie. Headlines like "she'll never walk again" sells more than "she'll

If you use LXD you don't need Podman, the main difference between LXD and Podman is LXD runs System Containers while Podman runs Application containers. One advantage of having a system container is you can use a package manager to upd

I've been a long time user of LXD, it's an amazing project. It basically served as an alternative to kubernetes / docker for me. Enabled me to launch projects and build companies without being bogged down by the complexity of

Creator here. We are working towards open sourcing the platform. We’re looking for feedback. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

I'm simply presenting a case in my own country. Where I've seen the negative effects of sideloading playing out. People's livelihoods are being destroyed. I do understand that sideloading is something desirable for some perce

Right, but for Apple to take down those apps, it's much easier than taking down some random link the fraudsters put up. I'm not saying iOS is 100% bullet proof. I'm saying the problem is much more manageable without sideloadi

Usually the cases show up on social media in our country. The victims post that they’ve been frauded and generally blame it on the banks. The banks then reply and say “the fraud transaction originated from customer’s device”. When you look

Believe me the central bank puts out social media posts to inform the public on a regular basis, however a lot of people still fall for these frauds because the fraudsters prey on their greed and fear. I’ve seen even the most educated tech

Yeah. Couple of days. To be fair Elixir and Nebulex library did most of the heavy lifting. I had been using Nebulex for a long time before implementing this solution. But as our system scaled we ran into more and more problems so I decided

I implemented something similar to the approach in this article. I was building a payment transaction system and ran into the issue of having locks and transactions in the database causing higher and higher latency as the queue got larger.

This is something I’m going to be buying for sure. I saw the site also has a “Build your own Redis”. I’ve always wanted to understand how databases work so I can build my own. Excited about this!
