Re:What Postgres Full Text Search Is Missing on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @04:04AM (#41179225)
Postgres has very limited features related to FTS, so it is useful only for very simple cases or for very limited budget. Elasticsearch is stable enough(but good devops and devs needed) and has numerous of features. Anyway Elasticsearch is not a "plug and play" solution and requires much work to be done for good search quality. Why I know this all? I'm running ecommerce search startup, based on Elasticsearch as primary storage.

You mixed two very different things: business and freelance. Some people just want to sell their hours and not do business.
The downside of Zoe is Renault. For its tech price should be much less.
That’s a good catch. I also wondered because there are vast amount of people want just personal vehicle to move from A to B.
They are nor low tech, not a real budget cars.
In fact, monolithic solution is much faster to ship. And cheaper. And much easier to support.

What is considered as mass? 10, 100, 1000, 10K? Number matters.
Actually you should avoid splitting software into microservices by default until you really need it. It's easy to catch the moment - you will see that movement of some project part into microservice will help you to close many points and issues.

So: 1) Read classic books about monolith software. 2) Read decent books about microservices approach.

Oh, critical issue again. Looks like Gitlab needs security officer to help to prevent this.

Clion still doesn’t support cmake, Datagrip has awful UI. Idea is great, need to say.
Old news, guys. This was just a test for couple days. No any blocks now.
They have Status page and don’t reflect host issues there. I’m sure, they didn’t understand what Status page was created for. And don’t respect users. Go away from Fly, if you respect yourself.

Re:Why Perl? on Monday June 12, 2023 @03:10PM (#36299341)

That’s true for any platform - Java or PHP. Perl has less support in modern IDE. Perl 5 to 6 transition failed many times so ecosystem lost many talents.

P.S. I wrote and supported large Perl codebases, no rocket science to manage it, if you do it right.

I think, they need another nore skilled Product Manager. Offer "Free Forever" is a big mistake. Silently closing it - another big mistake. Instead of the first they could offer user count limited version. I.e. 10 users max, $10/month. The same as Atlassian did with Jira. Instead of the second, they could offer 50 or even 70% special discount from paid plan($10/user/month) to move free users to paid plan. Company gets money and users loyalty and no negative.
OMG, aftet so many years Google was able to hear users! Before this update I had to use two phones synching them manually.
