"let them" in this use understood as: "let the while loop run indefinitely" as opposed to letting some autonomous robot decide for itself

Quite correct with that question. I believe the universal answer is: incompetent malicious actors are now capable too. Which implies the pool from which to draw the intersection between capable and malicious has grown. (That's my readi

This type of story about management getting rid of the old guard is so common and typical, it remains one of the most frustrating aspects of this industry. In the “enterprise scene”, this sort of purge strategy is likely linked to a big per

Thank you for this. (I think HN should consider creating TLDR type of comments for upvoting separately from commentary. @Dan incentivise with different karma credits?)

Off-topic: TIL wal2 mode in the works. Wow. That's a no-brainer feature, IMHO.

Is the 300x performance boost attributable to the threading model vs process model? Was the code for the threading model written by hand or was it translated from the WIP threading model the human PG team is busy with as part of the 2028 ro

Unlikely. It goes further by also using the word "exploit". If they needed permissions for conversion, they'd have made a specific mention of that and thereafter confirmed legal ownership.

Genuine question: how did you figure this was AI generated? (If that is what you meant.)

Nice. Is if a one thread per request model? Does it support async await type of architecture?

By definition, a FK has to reference a PK in the “parent”.

Shouldn't there be a unit test to confirm landlock is on/off? (I mean, this seems a crucial aspect of the code which needs 100% test coverage.)

Yip, this was impressive. Only a copy & paste into VSCode (Windows) revealed the rectangle around the "c" in the second line. Impressive.

Thank you. Also, what database was in use?

Thanks for the easily understandable TLDR!

Indeed. It's by no means "straightforward"

I didn't say we should ignore splits. To reiterate: most third-party data providers include splits by restating historical prices. This only works if you want to analyse performance at individual stock level by ignoring holdings. But

Valuations are straightforward in a world without corporate actions like splits, consols, dividends etc. Most (all?) data providers rerate historical prices after corporate actions that affect prices and this is not really the correct way t

ORMs and NoSQL were a direct result of the desire to have an object-oriented data worldview in a programming landscape dominated by OO languages. They were not introduced because programmers didn’t want to learn SQL (implying incompetence e

Please don't stop there! How did the conversation go? How did he convince you that you won't be double-crossed?

Terminating a bus factor 1 employee is not the problem. The real problem is not recreating BF1 reloaded with the new hire. Even a team of two is not completely ideal. Many, mostly small, companies just cannot justify an IT department to mit

Nice! Finally: https://youglish.com/pronounce/been/english ? "Been" pronounced "bin" is slowly moving to "ben" (mostly in the US usage).

SQLite not supporting "stored procedures" is a deal-breaker for me. The idea for stored procs is not to "put the process as close to the data" but simply that we have a single place for language-agnostic encapsulation of
