AlfeG··on Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10k jobs per second (2013)
But what about "box" products? We can't force clients have dedicated DevOps just to support our product. Less is better in this case. To have same code in Cloud and offline installs is even better.

AlfeG··on Do pro software devs memorize language syntax?
I can easily switch between C#, javascript and postgres SQL. But when it comes to powershell.. I google every little language construction. It happens to me every 2-3 weeks for a decade. I still cannot remember from the first time how to iterate over collection, how to define collection or hash table. I dont know why I struggle so much to remember it.
AlfeG··on Traffic lights worldwide set to change after a Swedish engineer saw red
Totally agree. Entering on yellow should be a last resort, that is not driven by the hurry.

In Ukraine we have 4 seconds of blinking green light before yellow, that should be more then enough to notice and slow down for full stop. But I do like much more traffic lights with number of seconds till light change (in Kharkiv almost all trafic lights are replaced with numbered one). This is incredibly usefull, cause You can notice numbers from long distance and plan route accordingly.

It's pitty that not all cities and countries go for traffic lights with timers.

AlfeG··on Disney+ streaming uses draconian DRM
Pirating is already casual. But situation is much worse.

I can have russian voiceover from 4-5 studios on the next day after popular TV series aired. They even go this far, as to put full time commercials of not so legal online casino web sites. I dont even need to torrent, to watch any tv show next day after air. There is android apps that will allow to watch any show via http or torrent. There is pirate websites with payed and free access. And as I said earlier fulltime commercials of online casinos, that sponsor pirate translations.

This situation is very bad for any commercial tv show services in ex USSR territory. No low regional prices can battle 0 price.

AlfeG··on The pitfall of using PostgreSQL advisory locks with Go's DB connection pool
