Any cool facts to share about Timor Leste? My usual go to - wikipedia - does paint a rather mundane picture of it.
I was gonna say that uBlock still works for me on facebook, but yea I forgot I had purity quietly working for me for all those years

Re:How/why to sweep async tasks under a Postgres table on Friday November 21, 2025 @04:10PM (#46009027)
I am using pgboss myself, very decent, very simple. Had some issues with graphile back in the days, cant remember what exaclty, it probably did already overcome whatever I was struggling with!

So we need to create tools with very high flexibility, not-so-fantastic onboarding that take a long time to setup and hard to get right - so that AI can fix them? I would rather use Linear (as per example).
And then once The Anyone gets few more years of experience they revert back to the bulky one.
Maybe we can at least fix the headline here, on hacker news
Prisma doesn't cover plenty of SQL features. custom types, more complex indexes (like where clause). It is also a VC backed biznes, need to be ready to drop it at almost any time, SQL/postgres on the other hand is here to stay.

RLS is hard to work with, hard to debug, hard to reason about, cumbersome. It is however powerful.

I am using both prisma and kysely in the same codebase with a great success. The db schema is driven by SQL, not prisma. It is then introspected by both kysely and prisma, prisma is used in 95% of the places while kysely is used whenever performance is critical or when prisma doesn't support the SQL features we need.

Love Webstorm, but I am having constant problems with type hints. Typescript with a solid setup that over time stopped working well.

"The obsessive need for AI developers (...)" - Of product product/business people trying to fit into the "AI era". Developers, if given a chance, wouldn't probably built this.

As someone interested in the gaming sector but with a web dev/full stack experience this seems like an amazing offer. It is however a shame you are not disclosing the salary range. I am not willing spend several hours on the interviweing process just to get to know what you are offering.

What's missing from https://kysely.dev/?
From this year's Iq:

Botany: Jacob White and Felipe Yamashita, for finding that certain plants imitate the leaf shape of nearby plastic plants and concluding that "plant vision" is plausible.

This somehow doesn't fit the Iq award in my mind.

Which 49" do you have? I am looking to improve my setup and wouldn't mind some suggestions.
Parent comments is still correct, NHS is free from the Financial Incentive problem. I don't think anyone claims the system is good, just this one aspect is correct.

Slightly similar, in Lem's novel all war efforts moved to the moon where AI deployed by each nation continues in an endless conflict. Peace on Earth is achieved, peace in the mail box is achieved. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_on_Earth_(novel)
Re:Why, after 6 years, I'm over GraphQL on Thursday May 30, 2024 @02:15PM (#40526933)
Postgraphile is great, until you need to debug row level security. Or when you realize you need another tool to make the query type safe.
Re:Making a Postgres query 1k times faster on Wednesday May 15, 2024 @06:15PM (#40373070)
I think a nicer takeaway is what the author summarized with:

1. Always use BUFFERS when running an EXPLAIN. It gives some data that may be crucial for the investigation.

2. Always, always try to get an Index Cond (called Index range scan in MySQL) instead of a Filter.

3. Always, always, always assume PostgreSQL and MySQL will behave differently. Because they do.

Would honestly love to know more. What activities which are not common for a store did he bring from the navy?
I am using the Pro version, "MacBook Pro M2 24GB 13-inch 2022". Backend and frontend mostly, several docker containers running constantly, several chrome and firefox instances with about 10s of tabs opened, DB tools (pgAdmin etc). All of this works great, battery life ~5 hours when doing heavy work, fans very very rarerly turning on, maybe few times over the last 10 months I was using it.

One issue I experience is that "Virtual Machine Service for Docker" is consistently sitting at 6gb ram. I am running in "linux/amd64" mode as I had some compatibility issues.

Another issue is that for some reason WebStorm sometimes works much worse than on linux which I used before the mac. As if WebStorm completely turns off some features (highlight, typechecking...) from time to time.

When trying out some C++ I was surprised by how many projects bundled the library source code, essentially finding any actual client code a pain.

Definitely should evaluate both. Still curious about nhost's perspective.
Ethiopian is an extremly underrated cousine. Both the distinct but simple taste of the "curries" and the unique flavour of the "pancake" which is traditionally used to eat (instead of cutlery) is a pleasant experience. Regardless of your diet please give it a try!

Chatbots. Cheap excuse to cut customer service or hide it behind a tedious process of convincing the if-else that it can't actually solve your problem.
