I logged in to postman today after 3 years to use some public API, and god, it was so damn unusable. It took me navigating through "workspace", "environments", etc etc before I could hit the simplest of http endpoints.

on Monday August 09, 2021 @04:08AM (#28113786)
Even though we are currently replacing ES (hosted on elastic.co) with Postgres for ~100M docs + low QPS usecase, it's no real competition to Elasticsearch. There are better™ alternatives for niches (like Algolia), but nothing just works like elasticsearch at scales when not everything can fit in a single machine.

Re:GitHub Copilot
on Tuesday June 29, 2021 @03:07PM (#27680323)
wow I'm going to have lots of opinions about this.
1. A lot of people on this thread are concerned about licensing issues with GPL etc. I am sure Github will restrict the beta until it figures out that stuff.
2. I wonder if eventually our corrections to the code suggested by the model would be used to feedback to the model, and if that'll lead to a differential pricing - If I let it see my code, I get charged lesser.
3. I believe a mini-GPT-3 model is where it's at. GPT-3 (and similar) models look to be to too big to run locally. I've been using TabNine for past year or so & it gives me anywhere between 5-10% productivity boost. But one of the main reasons why it works so well is because it trains on my repo as well. TabNine is based off GPT-2 from what i've heard.
4. prediction: Microsoft is probably going to milk GPT-3. Expect a bumpy ride.
5. In all likeliness, this would be a great tool to make developers productive, rather than take their jobs - at least at levels that are more than just code-coolie.
6. Eventually all tasks with enough data around it will see automation using AI.
Re:GitHub Copilot
on Tuesday June 29, 2021 @02:28PM (#27679818)
I'm curious as to how relevant Copilot would be when autocompleting code that is specific to my codebase in particular, like Tabnine completes most used filters as soon as I type the db table name for the query. I'm a big tabnine fan because it provides this feature. I'm much more often looking to be suggested a line than an entire function because I'm mostly writing business logic.
also tabnine is useless in multi-lines completes. which is where co-pilot should be strong.
Re:AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
on Friday January 22, 2021 @02:33AM (#25869362)
This is quite true. Right now we are working to move our $(msg queue software) from $(one of its market leaders) to AWS's in-house offering, because the network transfer cost is twice the cost of our subscription on the $(one of its market leaders).
Re:AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
on Friday January 22, 2021 @02:21AM (#25869309)
it does feel like the whole issue blew up so much because AWS & Elastic.co are unable to work together. We many never know the details, so can't say who's in the wrong here.

Also a big plus is the abstraction poetry provides over virtualenvs. I can just do `poetry install && poetry shell` to enable virtualenv from nothing. This is a nice upgrade over virtualenvwrapper.

All sizable codebases eventually grow their own patterns & utils that have similar abstractions. I'd rather spend my time writing business logic than boilerplate.
