I for one always found coding tedious and repetitive in general, it is fun at the beginning when you manage to validate an idea or produce an MVP, but then the chores begin and I have never enjoyed those. So in my view LLMs empower creativ

what really caught my eye is the 3d printer itself, took me a while to find the repo for it, so here it is: https://github.com/The-Soft-Robotics-Forum/flex-printer

Guess this was one of the first implementations of greylisting :) This was not an issue of being in a vacuum, it was an issue of not reading documentation beforehand, which for some reason is acceptable in the development world I don't

sure relational db is ok if fits in memory, but if we're talking about TBs of metrics i'd rather look for another way

in most cases elastic is easier to scale than a relational or timeseries db

About the field limit, an application shouldn't have more than 1000 fields in their structured logging. Usually when this happens is because the source uses what could be considered user input as keys, for example in access logs with s

elastic 5.x is ANCIENT and no one in their right mind should still use that for any production workload

Around 15 years ago I got my hands on a quadra 700 and managed to install A/UX on it. I don't remember the details but i really struggled to find an external SCSI CDROM drive compatible with the OS, if memory serves me well there

it informs you that you're going to crash it when you try to actually fly it, and it will break badly. fpv drone frames are usually made from thick carbon fiber, with replaceable arms, and are designed for durability and repairability

in this case the drone is so fragile that the only way to get 10mins of flight from it without breaking it, is to hover

I wouldn't call that "arcana", that's just ES and lucene basics
29.
by alkz 7y ago
each ES shard is actually a lucene index, and it uses memory... why would anyone need thousand of indices on a single node?
30.
by alkz 7y ago
I fail to see how the creation of 50K indices on elasticsearch is a meaningful benchmark, that's just not how it's supposed to be used. Also as others said, testing a distributed system on a single node makes little sense... as it
