Scarbutt··on Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
so it's doing software virtualization?
Scarbutt··on Show HN: MongoDB Protocol for SQLite
MongoDB was originally an eye-opening technology for many of us developers, empowering us to build applications faster than using relational databases.

Something something HN and pitchforks.

Scarbutt··on We raised a bunch of money
Why is Fly.io so praised here? couldn't run any production workload on them cause of all the technical issues they have.
Scarbutt··on A LiveView Is a Process
OTOH, those other languages have decent ecosystems.
Scarbutt··on The tiny corp raised $5.1M
To be fair, you have group the perfect combo for initiating a crash, a google product inside firefox inside linux desktop on wayland.
Scarbutt··on Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
What do you suggest? I'm happy with my recent switch to linux desktop but for phones there aren't many options, is android any better?
Scarbutt··on Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
Or any other file, there are methods but not as convenient as airdrop.
Scarbutt··on The JavaScript ecosystem is delightfully weird
For web apps is just Javascript. And since you are forced to use it, why not run it on the server too and use less programing languages? Not a fan, but it is what it is.
Scarbutt··on The JavaScript ecosystem is delightfully weird
It's about big codebases and team use, not about you.
Scarbutt··on Codon: Python Compiler
For Javascript, what about that method would make it more performant than Javascript's JITs?
Scarbutt··on Codon: Python Compiler
And Cinder
Scarbutt··on JEP 450: Compact Object Headers
Those two databases rely heavily on Java libraries, libraries that would make no sense and be impractical to implement in Clojure.
Scarbutt··on JEP 450: Compact Object Headers
Funny, those languages rely heavily on the Java ecosystem and libraries, and they better hope the Java ecosystem keeps thriving, improving current libraries and producing new libraries else they become impractical. Show me your pure Clojure production grade http servers or database drivers ;)
Scarbutt··on JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
Or you just can download/install with npm and create a bundle with esbuild.
Scarbutt··on Xterm: It's better than you thought (2021)
No Text reflow when the terminal is resized.

That sounds very annoying.

Scarbutt··on Datomic is Free
My guess is they bought the company because they were already too invested in Datomic. So it was kind of forced to minimize risk.
Scarbutt··on Datomic is Free
Datomic's is perfect for probably 90% of small-ish backoffice systems that never has to be web scale

How do they scale it for Nubank? (millions of users)

Scarbutt··on The part of Postgres we hate the most: Multi-version concurrency control
and rhetoric:

So how does one work around PostgreSQL’s quirks? Well, you can spend an enormous amount of time and effort tuning it yourself. Good luck with that.

Scarbutt··on Ways to shoot yourself in the foot with Postgres
They seem pretty generic, the same ideas/concepts can probably be taken over to mysql.
Scarbutt··on Canonical releases Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster
What macos releases felt significant?
Scarbutt··on Node.js 20 is now available
You can use this small lib for expressjs https://github.com/express-promise-router/express-promise-ro...
Scarbutt··on Node.js 20 is now available
He is hardcorezz
Scarbutt··on Microsoft plugging more ads into Windows 11 Start Menu
$999 macbook air is perfectly usable?
Scarbutt··on 916 Days of Emacs
Where's your mercedes?
Scarbutt··on 916 Days of Emacs
Respect. What do you use it for?
Scarbutt··on 916 Days of Emacs
Same. I have try many outliners to irrationally avoid emacs but they all suck compared to org-mode.
Scarbutt··on 916 Days of Emacs
I just run emacs on the remote server (inside tmux), emacs works great on the terminal, in fact, I don't use GUI emacs. code, orgmode, magit are just text.
Scarbutt··on SQLite performance tuning: concurrent reads, multiple GBs and 100k SELECTs/s
Putting postgres and the app in the same server will shrink the latency and in the end it will win in throughput as your data and QPS increases.
Scarbutt··on SQLite performance tuning: concurrent reads, multiple GBs and 100k SELECTs/s
What was the insert command?
Scarbutt··on SQLite performance tuning: concurrent reads, multiple GBs and 100k SELECTs/s
'Multiple GB' is ambiguous(is it 20GB or 200GB?) and the article doesn't specify the size.
