Are you using `walg wal-receive` for streaming? As far as I can tell, that command will wait for the full wal segment before it pushes anything to storage. I don't see any way to stream wal records continuously in wal-g.

Carmack is talking about variable reassignment here, which Clojure will happily let you mutate. For example: (let [result {:a 1} result (assoc result :b 2)] ...) He mentions that C and C++ allow const variables, but Cloj

You have to use the slug from the wiki page. `Jell-O` to `Philosophy` works.

If you want an RSS feed of your YouTube video subscriptions, I made an app for that: https://yt-better-subs.web.app/ I went through quite the hassle to get the app's oauth scopes approved with Google so that it can kee

Here's how we did it at OneGraph (RIP), where we not only upgraded versions without downtime, but we also moved hosting providers from GCP to Aurora without downtime. 1. Set up logical replication to a new database server. We used htt

I'm impressed. I asked it "How much is a flight from San Francisco to the rapid & blitz tournament over Christmas?" and it figured out which tournament I was talking about and showed me ticket prices. https://g

A few ideas to improve the schema based on looking at the examples: 1. Make `globalId` part of a "Node" interface that all of the types implement. This will work better with tooling like Relay (used for refetching and caching). It

Might be better to redirect to the news.ycombinator.com instead of google.com. I'd be less likely to notice that, especially if I opened it in a background tab. But maybe that's the kind of criticism he was trying to avoid in the

According to the article, they likely are getting severance. Those affected will gain access to the company’s “generous severance philosophy” and “a talent hub to allow them to opt-in to receive additional support services.” (The details s

At the end of the video you linked, she accuses the author of The Star Builders of "only briefly mention[ing] the total energy gain and never giv[ing] a number". I had just started the book when I watched her video, and I counted

It's not the benchmark that's unethical. The unethical part is leaving up the original claim without adding a correction or a note that addresses the problems Fastly found with the benchmark.

Cloudflare's blog post still says, in bold, "Cloudflare Workers is 196% faster than Fastly’s Compute@Edge based on the time to first byte from the tests we ran on 50 nodes using Catchpoint’s data from across the world". It is

My experience working at tech companies is that the tech lead, or anybody at the company, can post in an internal message board or slack to ask "what's up with this weird clause in our ToS" and expect an explanation. It'

But I'd bet kentonv was following this one, since he said "until Fatly complained about it" and not "until I read the blog post".

It has been two weeks since Fastly's VP of Eng called out your ToS and errors in your benchmark in her original tweet thread [1]. I would hope that Cloudflare would have a better response than this that directly addresses Fastly's
