They have made it proprietary so that providers like AWS can't build their own service with it, thus eating into PS's income. Google is big enough to survive open-sourcing Vitess, k8s, angular, etc. Planetscale isn't.

It's not about the post, but the fact that he's referred to as "ceo who fired 900 people on zoom". Nobody calls Mike Cannon-Brookes (Atlassian ceo) as "ceo who fired 1600 people by 6am email", for example.

Why is a layoff on zoom considered worse or more controversial than layoff by 4-6AM emails (which is what other companies like Meta, Oracle, Atlassian, etc did)?

In a recent interview I was asked to design a job queue and I went with postgres with the first and third optimizations mentioned here. For the scale of the question - 1000 concurrent jobs - I argued that postgres would easily scale. But th

I never understood what Atlassian saw worth $ 1 billion in this company (DX). That's even more than what they paid ($700m) for Loom. Loom is at least useful as a screen recorder, and its notetaker (in Zoom calls) is pretty good as well

We used to get these books in the annual international book fair in Delhi back in my childhood days. I still have 2 of them (Mathematics Can Be Fun and How The Steel Was Tempered), but I'm pretty sure we had several more at the time. T

IIUC this just pulls in various other crates with some vibe-coding on top. I'm not familiar with the Rust dependency system, but what is the need to have copies of the code? Would it not suffice to just have an "empty" crate

Very poor. Hardly lasts a week with step tracking and heart rate enabled. Like someone else mentioned, go for a Garmin instinct 2 or 3 solar. My 2 Solar lasts more than 30 days on a full charge.

Not unlikely given the crash in Atlassian's share price over the last year or so. When I was in NetApp a long time back, such rumours would often do the rounds when the share price took a dip, with Oracle and IBM usually touted as the

Amazing. Easily the most learning I've had in 18 minutes (I watched at 1.2x speed) in my life.

I was thinking of using it with Duckdb as well but seems it would be of limited benefit. Parquet objects are in MBs, so they would be streamed directly from S3. With raw parquet objects, it might help with S3 listing if you have a lot of th

I was thinking the same - if JSONata was a priority for them, why not choose a language with good support, like JS or Java? OTOH if development language was a priority why not choose a format that is well supported in it?

Thanks! I'm using Instant.parse at present and this is supposedly 37x faster. Will definitely give it a try.

I ran into 5 and 7 in a Flink app recently - was parsing a timestamp as a number first and then falling back to iso8601 string, which is what it was. The flamegraph showed 10% for the exception handling bit. While fixing that, also found re

Rovo dev cli is pretty good though. Though that may just be because it talks to claude or openai in the backend.

Seems like a silly excuse. If his concern is that Israel could use Replit for military purposes, then SA is perfectly capable of doing the same. And SA has - directly or indirectly - killed more people in Yemen than Israel has in Gaza.
