You could have a dedicated lightweight-agent running a cheap model in parallel to any workload, analysing the workload (like the prompt) and creating "memories" in a vector DB. These could be according to some guidelines. Alternat

Really good to hear that. We've had AWS reps trying to push RedShift on multiple occasions after we've done our research and selected Clickhouse for our analytical workloads. Every time we have a meeting with them for some other r

Are they using headers for identification? If so, it could be skewed by orgs masking some/all. I’m quite curious myself.

I agree. I wonder if it's a mix of fully remote work being popular some time ago and the amount of tech one has to know now increasing (DBs, backend, frontend, cloud, observability, security, etc.). When hiring remotely, people natural

I don’t really understand, if replacing developers is right around the corner, why throw money into so many IDEs. Or perhaps it’s really cheap to produce something like this?

Inside of buildings was quite confusing, cause you couldn’t see inside, but some targets/items were totally in there. Syndicate Wars was similar about it + destructible buildings. Both were really great my hands down favorite Bullfrog

This to me vibes with the world of manga Blame by Tsutomu Nihei. In it large automata, have been building the mega structure long after biological humans are gone. The structure already encompasses the moon, and they are still building. Coo

Really cool article. Personally I think the really cool bit about MCP is that you can very easily write your own server which can talk to the db or call various APIs. That server can run locally and be used by GitHub Copilot for answering q

How does it work from the privacy standpoint? Can they use recorded samples for training?

I’m curious about other aspects of this: - leverage of countries who can host such AI over countries who can’t, will there be a point when countries can’t allow themselves not to have access to „emergency” talent in case they can’t use AI?

Similar here, there are gotchas though. Some versions ago they've changed their query optimization engine - some of our "slow aggregations" become "unresponsive aggregations" because suboptimal indexes were suddenly

Precisely, and if you are enterprise, you want to have an option to request priority support and have a lot of features out of the box. Also some of the search features are only available in Atlas unfortunately.

Could it be the top comments even though most voted are also most commented and more divisive and controversial? And the most boring comments are somewhere at the back? Hence big amount of failed predictions at the top.

I think at this moment, this sounds more like "quarter of the company's new code is created using stackoverflow and other forums. Many many people use all these tools to find information, as they did using stackoverflow a month ag

This sounds so good. My father is using windows. He has teamviewer installed - and half the time when I wanna connect with him it turns into a nightmare of new version update. I only have most recent version. He doesn’t know, which version

I'd be curious to see improvements in "work being done" metrics. Something like DORA. Where a company has a timeline of metrics before and at some point they introduce Copilot or other types of "AI" assistants. I su

precisely, don't use .0 releases and don't rush to update immediately. Let others do that work.

Recent 7.0.0 version has dropped old and introduced quite broken new query planner. Caused a lot of our queries to miss. We’ve had the displeasure to work with the support on multiple related issues.

That's a very good point. VR Chat is the magical quirky "META" experience, which is already there. Straight from either Gibsons novels or Ghost in the Shell. Apple seems to be more in line with more gated, streamlined and pol

If anyone is interested. There's a pretty good Darknet Diaries episode that covers some of this and other cases: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/105/

Agreed. Its often easier to teach someone a technical skill, but impossible to change them, if their personality is not a good fit. If they have a tendency to be passive-aggressive or have a code related ocd. Not saying its easy to recogniz

agreed, you can have reference fields to other collections and filter by them or query related data. But I wouldn't say its designed for relational workloads. Similarly I wouldn't use MongoDB for graph queries, even though it has

If there were JOINs it may be a sign MongoDB was not the best DB for you. It means the model was relational and a relational DB would be a better fit. MongoDB lookups are discouraged in general, and especially in analytical workloads, which

Maybe it's a general comment to both back-end and front-end. To me it seems that down in the trenches coding is getting more complex, even though frameworks hide more and more complexity. Languages and frameworks gain features and they

I think I've read about git multiple times before I started using it. And even then at first it was with a dash of scepticism. I can't put my finger on that moment, the moment of clarity but it had to be quite glorious. Before, I

This always rubbed me the wrong way. I think a better way would be to ensure the assertions to be readable, as simple as can be. The worst case of this being broken was the assertions were done in an helper method used in a base class of a
