Loved him man

[Frank #CR1000 @frvnkx9]

Nicolas Pepe second game against the best team in the country at Anfield.

[Ibükün @Flappizy]

Sorry, but Saka has stagnated, you can't be elite if you keep missing these chances

[pragun @pragdua]

beyond a certain net worth, negotiating with people less privileged than you (cab drivers, house help, carpenters etc) causes rot to the soul.

just overpay and move on

[Ibükün @Flappizy]

Great news and I will be looking out for this 🤞

[wangbin579 @wangbin579]

The course will keep getting deeper, since I'm growing fast. After studying Neon carefully, I'll use TigerBeetle's ideas to build a faster version that separates storage and compute, making the course even deeper. Technically, I'm sure I can build a great database product.

[Ibükün @Flappizy]

Me soon, and thank you so much for the course, it really helped me build a mental model of what goes on behind the scenes

[wangbin579 @wangbin579]

Two years ago, I was a Postgres newbie. I didn't even know how to install it. Now I feel like I really understand Postgres. Learning Postgres is only hard for DBAs. For developers, it's easy, and the ideas behind it are even easier, as long as you use the right approach.

That title win was crazy cos I’ve just seen my team get absolutely slapped and I feel nothing

[Preston Thorpe @PThorpe92]

First day @PlanetScale today, super excited to get to work on the Postgres core team.

[Ibükün @Flappizy]

No way United lost with a man advantage, disgraceful stuff 😂😂

[oluok @oluok1]

Good effort Chels but that’s a classic know your place pat on the back loss.

[Ibükün @Flappizy]

Havertz and Odegaard in this game man, top stuff

Few people care more about software performance than @cmuratori. Give him a few minutes of your attention with this episode, and he'll convince you to learn to read Assembly (no, really, I finally started to read it, it's really not that scary, esp with an AI that can help explain the sequences).

Three interesting things we talked about:

1. Is performance starting to matter to businesses?

Enterprise software buyers care mainly about cost, compliance, and capabilities – but not performance. Even so, there are some products gaining major popularity and market share due to their performance, such as File Pilot (next-gen file explorer) and the Blick video editor. Is the tide turning?

2. Profiler-driven performance optimization is the wrong way to optimize

The standard way of optimizing is to profile the application, tweak hotspots, then check if the stats have improved. But this only finds a local minimum; Casey says every engineer he’s worked with who was a great “optimizer” began by establishing what the hardware could theoretically do, and then did not stop until they’d closed the gap to that performance level.

3. Take a grain of salt with conventional wisdom that premature optimization is the “root of all evil”

Many devs use it as an excuse to delay performance optimization, but Casey says that not optimizing in time could mean that only performance hotspots can be fixed later, and not the architectural issues that create poor performance. Architect your system to be performant, or you’ll have trouble solving problems without a rewrite!

[Shaun Thomas @BonesMoses]

Let it be known that WAL is literally just a write-only ledger. That's it. That's the magic. The database itself is technically a stateful cache of the WAL.

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Most don't realize that nearly *every* database is built with a WAL.

Postgres. MySQL. SQLite. Mongo. Kafka. ClickHouse.

WALs are fundamental for fast, reliable, transactional data processing. Everyone should know how they work.

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

I found a minimal reproducer for SQLite's WAL-Reset bug (100 lines of C) that triggers data loss and/or data corruption in seconds. The integrity_check Tailscale did would not necessarily alert you to the former.

Exclusive for Standard subscribers. Otherwise, upgrade SQLite!
