Very nice jeans you've got there! Up for some belts-and-suspenders, maybe?

Re:Claude Code Opus 4.7 keeps checking on malware on Sunday April 19, 2026 @12:47PM (#47825608)
I didnt mean Google, but there are those we pages that, for example, scraped Stackoverflow.com just to provide the very same content
Re:Claude Code Opus 4.7 keeps checking on malware on Saturday April 18, 2026 @08:39AM (#47815456)
It first gives you a page of ads, then a scraped version of the solution that steals content for ads, and then the amp version of the solution that doesnt work because js or what not.
Build with what pieces you can find, rather than plan the perfect structure ahead. Improvising keeps the creativity going! Wheres fun if sorting legos sucks all the Joy from it

Horridly inefficient. Just unfold the loop.
Those FAANG devs have milions of (social) lives on the line, though. Every day.
Re:The Pain That Is GitHub Actions on Thursday March 20, 2025 @03:40AM (#43420584)
You can apply dynamic env to other jobs by exporting an env file as a dotenv artifact. So first job creates a dotenv file and export it as artifact. Second depends on the first so it can consume the artifact. https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/artifacts_reports/#artifacts...
Why do you need the vector if you have already compared the query with the result candidate?
Re:My Time Working at Stripe on Saturday November 02, 2024 @08:03AM (#42025872)
Its not difficult to imagine a person saying 'i have nothing i want to share here' be stigmatised in future. As a person who doesnt want to work together and be part of the company culture.
1) IMHO, people use quantifiers like majority, mostly, rarely, etc not because its the absolute truth, but because its their subjective PoV

2) Dont trust everything you read on the internet. A lot of it is skewed by personal biases.

Re:Companies need junior devs on Sunday September 08, 2024 @01:35PM (#41481784)
High level devs still do low expertise things every now and then. Or rather, designs need to be implemented, eventually.
Re whys: this can be even simpler. I sometimes catch myself rapidly click the mouse button a second time with my finger, right after the initial click. This is not intended and may be related to low resistance on the button itself.

Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @11:10AM (#40890868)
Are page misses still a thing in the age of SSDs?
Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @11:09AM (#40890861)
Yes, although timestamps may have collisions depending on resolution and traffic, no? Bigserials (at least in PG), are strictly monotonic (with holes).
Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @11:06AM (#40890843)
Yes, but updates are covered by updated app code
Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @11:06AM (#40890841)
PG bigserial is already strictly monotonic
Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @07:28AM (#40889751)
When running a batched migration it is important to batch using a strictly monotonic field so that new rows wont get inserted in already processed range
Re:PostgreSQL and UUID as Primary Key on Saturday July 06, 2024 @06:05AM (#40889375)
Having an index over the uuid is equivalent to it being a PK, so why would you bother having both?
Re:Postgres Schema Changes and Locking on Sunday June 23, 2024 @05:50PM (#40770885)
The locking part is often forgotten when discussing zero downtime migrations in postgres. As more and more operations become fast, more engineers will get bitten by this.

Ive telling this to engineers in my org for such a long time, now I also have a nice article to share :)

BTW, you don't need the pg_sleep and hurry with the execution. Simple BEGIN and COMMIT/ROLLBACK will give you infinite wait time :)

Re:Ladybird browser spreads its wings on Friday June 21, 2024 @05:25AM (#40747772)
I believe the fact that V8 vulnerabilities are not "classic" memory corruption can be attributed to their developers' experience and review processes.

This doesn't imply, though, that another project in C++ will share these traits.

Its more like "Im interested in subscribing and paying more"
As I started to think for some time now: you can have a challenge or a solution.

As engineers, we are often tempted to challenge ourselves, straying away from the latter. There is less perceived pride from following simple solutions.

Re:Common DB schema change mistakes in Postgres on Monday April 29, 2024 @02:53PM (#40202402)
We use IF NOT EXISTS to bring non prod environments in sync with prod. The size of prod requires some migrations to be done separately over course of days, in separate transactions. The IF NOT EXISTS clause then brings dev and non prod envs in sync.
Re:Common DB schema change mistakes in Postgres on Monday April 29, 2024 @02:50PM (#40202357)
Fail and learn from your mistakes. Or hire developers and fail and learn together.
