boruto··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
I took two doses of mRNA vaccine, I still got covid, the fever, the pains it was horrible, I was in a foreign country alone where I didn't speak the language. I say this because that was the scariest moment of my life, I am thankful to the people who invented them.

I honestly believe it would have been worse had I not taken the vaccine.

boruto··on Quack: The DuckDB Client-Server Protocol
I think a DuckDB cookbook by them would be excellent.

Does Saudi really want to fight an existential battle alone with Iran over 100B? probably not possible politically too.
boruto··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
> Afghanistan

Mullah omar died of tuberculosis in 2013. Have to say, pashtunwali meant US found no insiders to assasinate Talibani leadership.

Just asking as i dont know, what does the sound represent? prayer?
boruto··on India's top court angry after junior judge cites fake AI-generated orders
> The judge took no personal responsibility.

Thats par for Indian judicial system. Simple civil cases run for several decades, the judges are all(yes everyone) is corrupt. Basically nothing works. It has been like this for several decades.

LLM slop is least of its problems.

boruto··on Iran attacks RAF base in Cyprus, an EU country

RAF base is on "sovereign British land", A vestige of colonialism. Technically not EU.

boruto··on US Military says 3 service members have been killed

I thought your empire had a voluntary military?

boruto··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
> Israel had already killed many, many more civilians in Gaza than Hamas did in Israel with that attack.

And how does it justify Hamas killing unarmed civilians? How does it justify Hamas lobbing grenades at Nepali students?

boruto··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
I think the parent comment is referring to RuPay à la visa/mastercard not Vipps which I say is equivalent of UPI. Although UPI is open unlike Vipps.
boruto··on Avoid UUID Version 4 Primary Keys in Postgres
In my old company new joiners are assigned an monotonic number as id in tech. GitHub profile url reflected that.

Someone may or may not have used the pattern to get to know the attrition rate through running a simple script every month))

TFR of my town of million people with $3k percapita income is 1.5

boruto··on Europe to decide if 6 GHz is shared between Wi-Fi and cellular networks
I pay 30$ a year for 2/3 GB per day and unlimited calls. This is more than enough for me.

For broadband I pay 10$ a month for 100 Mbps.

Mobile is terrible at times, Broadband service is amazing, even though it is slow.

Broadband is not that common

boruto··on Exploring PostgreSQL 18's new UUIDv7 support
One of my previous orgs used incrementing number for Github profiles. While there was no privacy concern about accessing a Github profile of another user, i don't think the org expected someone to calculate tech attrition and layoff count using this URL pattern ;)
boruto··on The Accountability Problem
Does you team hire? Haha. But yeah, In my current team EM also drops the ball for his own growth or agenda. Not sure how one can handle that.
boruto··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
Apparently https://www.grepular.com/ is from UK. Wonder how feels if people start blaming him for colonialism.

Govt proscribing access by law is something, but I cannot imagine a guy going out of the way to put ipblocks.

boruto··on Is Iran close to building a nuke?
I wouldn't trust anything from western media. It is just manufactured consent to bomb a country on the other side of the world.
boruto··on Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts
I realize I procrastinate less when using LLM to write code which I know I could write.
boruto··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia

boruto··on Writing A Job Runner (In Elixir) (Again) (10 years later)
We have a system where each pod spins up around 30 scheduled job instances of one job each processing a "partition", then transaction outbox is queried with hash of identifier equating it to partition.

We increased partition counts on sale days and it works well for us.

Couple of gotchas we had were.

1) Using hashtext from postgres is sketchy.

2) Increasing partiton count is an orchestra which requires stopping the partition.

There is no guarantee that ceding land would result in peace.
boruto··on On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots
Please take as many photographs as possible. I never took any pictures while traveling. Partly as I am not photogenic, that inferiority complex stayed with me.

Now for the pictures I took, Me and my daughter spent 2 hours ruminating at those pictures this weekend. Nothing can beat that happiness

I don't live in Europe. I still believe GDPR is god send. I just send a chat-gpt generated e-mail to the company to forget me citing GDPR and voila it just works.

just have to lie as bit that i am a resident of EU though.
