pseudopersonal··on Waiting for Postgres 18: Accelerating Disk Reads with Asynchronous I/O
Does anyone know when the update allowing more concurrent connections is dropping, so we can stop using pgbouncer?
pseudopersonal··on Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor
I would love a vim plugin for this. Many LLM vim plugins started off beautifully minimal, but became too agentic in their chase of Cursor.

Thanks for this write up. It'll be inspiring my ruby framework.
pseudopersonal··on Selective async commits in PostgreSQL – balancing durability and performance
Thanks for sharing this! Like many others, we're at a scale where we use postgres for almost everything to reduce operational overhead, and there are some ETL,log and audit tables that would love a 30% speed bump for such a small risk window.
pseudopersonal··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
Thanks for the clarification. For those of us who don't use TypeScript day to day, I feel that it is ambigious. Without clicking the link, you wouldn't know if it's about a compiler or a runtime. What if they announced a bun competitor?

pseudopersonal··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
It is for me. If someone says TypeScript is faster than X, they rarely mean the build time. I understand other people's points about TypeScript not being a runtime at all and only being a compiler, but when casually saying "TypeScript is faster than say ruby", people do not mean the compiler.

Ah thanks! I didn't realize there was a Doom running on the TS type system. I stand corrected
pseudopersonal··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
The post title is a bit misleading. It should say a 10x faster build time, or a 10x faster TypeScript compiler. tsc (compiler) is 10x faster, but not the final TS program runtime. Still an amazing feat! But doom will not run faster

"To meet those goals, we’ve begun work on a native port of the TypeScript compiler and tools. The native implementation will drastically improve editor startup, reduce most build times by 10x, and substantially reduce memory usage."

pseudopersonal··on Official proposal for Type Unions in C#
You must really hate REPLs. You cling to your ADTs, I cling to my REPLs.
pseudopersonal··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
Yet another successful loser who somehow continues to ascend corporate ranks despite poor company performance. Just shows how disconnected job performance is from C-suite peer reviews, a glorified popularity contest. Should add the unity and better.com folk here
pseudopersonal··on Humane execs leave company to found AI fact-checking startup
How do egregiously failed execs continue to get funding and high profile gigs? It's not just with Humane. I've seen this with the Better.com founder, his second failure after UNCLE, and with execs from MSFT Xbox. I can't for the life of me understand how they continue to get opportunities.

And how do I get in on it?

pseudopersonal··on Iggy.rs – building message streaming in Rust
How would this stack up to the likes of KeyDB’s streaming? More durable persistence is my take.
pseudopersonal··on Threads, an Instagram app
Threads can succeed on sports alone. NBA/NFL moving from Twitter to Threads will pull millions. And those users are IG friendly
pseudopersonal··on Apple Introduces M2 Ultra
With a unified 192GB memory, could this challenge nvidia's lock on ML training? Or is CUDA still insurmountable?
