@zerggirl @PGE4Me @PGE4Me this is actually crazy. You guys should be ashamed.

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@remusrisnov He’s on their payroll unfortunately (sponsored vid) so I’m not sure if this would be an unbiased coverage. There’s some reasonable discourse from others though:

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Is spacetime cool tech? Yes

Are these good benchmarks? No

I've done a lot of database benchmarking. It's fun. I like benchmarks! But these were poorly conducted.

- So many missing details. What cache warming was done? What region was each database and client in? What were the underlying instance types? Are we benchmarking databases or network latencies?

- Anyone create a narrow benchmark that makes a particular database look good. It's better to use widely-used standards (tpcc, sysbench workloads, etc)

- AFAICT the spacetime requests are heavily pipelined vs the Postgres options.

- Why does spacetime get a custom rust client (rust is fast!) and all the others have to run slow js clients with an ORM middleman over http/rpc?

Ultimately it's a big case of apples-to-oranges. Again, spacetime seems like cool tech! But comparing it to a 3-node HA semi-sync pg cluster is... an interesting choice.

if you can't tell these aren't comparative benchmarks you are a moron

[Alexander Mistakidis (Whisk 🐾) @alexanderzone7]

I left VALORANT to make a co-op game where you pet and throw cats

After 1.5 years, it's purrfect

@LinkedInLunat1c Most JDs are copypasta'd slop anyway and don't even talk about what the individual role does, because they can't. Seeing the title and salary is plenty. Certified lunatic

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@timo_rf @camhahu There's no shot it's per year. Almost certainly going to be a flat 0.25% of the company.

For that to actually be worth the value versus other jobs candidates would be qualified, the company needs a 9+ figure exit.

@elonmusk @Grummz @Ubisoft Is that what the guy playing your Path of Exile 2 account told you?

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@muhanadkais @SawyerMerritt This is already exactly what they had prior to this. Well, 3 years worth of charging + FSD + connectivity at least, for $5k.

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@JagexDaze Are you all currently planning on making "charged" items be shared in any way (e.g. GOTE)? Would be super convenient if so.

I'm also be curious if you guys are planning on another way for CGIMs to get the dark onyx core but that's perhaps for another time and thread 😉

@oldmanuk @wongmjane Indeed, definitely depends on preference. I have the 42 and honestly love it for desktop use. 2/3 productivity, 1/3 gaming as a rough mix of how I use it.

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@wongmjane Tesla's app works pretty well to unlock the car just by opening the door without touching your phone. Probably only messes up 1/50 times for me?

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@jlgolson @fredlambert Why be overly pedantic and argumentative for no reason?

Also, the text you put in quotes isn't even what the OP said. What are you on about?

[Ricky @WowSuchRicky]

@howlinrays Miss you guys 🫰🫶
