Re:Does anyone integrate with their customers' DB directly? on Monday September 02, 2024 @09:48PM (#41430429)
This works in some situations but the OPs use case seems to suggest near real-time access to records that would only have recently been created. I'm unsure if CSV could work well here.
Re:How FoundationDB works and why it works on Monday September 18, 2023 @05:07AM (#37553907)
I suspect:

- memcached if you don't need to persist the data

- Redis if you don't know whether you need to use Redis or FoundationDB

- FoundationDB if you learn that Redis doesn't do what you need

I don't mean this in any kind of a derogatory way but I suspect that if you need to ask then you probably don't need FDB.

The principle of keeping tech stacks boring and using well established components is less exciting as an Engineer but is usually the best choice.

Re:The CPUs of Spacecraft Computers in Space on Friday December 18, 2020 @06:42PM (#25473501)
"A CPU for use in space must first be MIL-STD-883"

Is this just for NASA craft? Are there any regulations for private craft or international standards?

Speaking from experience: they're not even managing to service paying customers well.
Re:Lefthook: Knock your team’s code back into shape on Thursday August 01, 2019 @03:54AM (#20581896)
Having to wait 30 mins for a build to run sounds like the real issue here. How would you push out an an emergency release in a timely way for example?
Re:Lefthook: Knock your team’s code back into shape on Wednesday July 31, 2019 @03:12PM (#20577244)
Serious question: why would I want to use this instead of tests as part of the CI process? Or would the use case be to use both but just get faster feedback from Lefthook?
Re:Kraken, an Open Source Peer-to-Peer Docker Registry on Tuesday March 05, 2019 @03:34PM (#19313967)
I'm chuckling inside thinking about how many people go and install/use this versus how many people actually work at a scale that they need to use this.
Yes. The this is the alternate way of doing it with the RFID flaps if for some reason your pet doesn't have a chip or there are issues reading it. Cats can lose collars though, many have a release mechanism so that if the collar gets caught the cat doesn't get stuck forever too.
