Just my own experience, but I have a 1TB SanDisk Extreme V2 which was made several years ago. It routinely gets so hot that it nearly burns my skin to the touch, and when it does get that hot, it randomly unmounts from my computer. Last week, my SuperDuper backup to the drive failed due to underlying corruption, which strangely passed Disk Utility's health checks. I'm so done with this product.

Concept2 is the gold standard, and it's not even the most expensive. It's the only machine competitive rowers use, from high school to the olympics. C2 supports their machines to an insane level, going so far as to provide replacement parts all the way back to their first machine from 1981.

Wait, have any companies actually paid you?!

Eh, let the customer decide what is/isn't wasteful.

I refuse to believe that Sam doesn't have equity in OpenAI. It must be some 4D-chess-style ownership structure, which I'm guessing is for tax avoidance.

Cool! Now we need this for Postgres.

How long would you say it takes your average, competent developer to become proficient in Rust? In your experience, what's the best path to learn Rust in 2023?

Are there any other companies that you would put in the same league as Rippling? (for any products, not just competitors in the same space)

Any other companies you'd recommend as part of the "startup stack"?

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

It's always a good idea to have some cash, a couple different accounts, minimal debt, etc. Applies to all sorts of crises--not just financial ones.

Same here

I think it would be clearer to rename LiveView to something else, so as not to draw confusion with Elixir's LiveView.

I don't live in Seattle. How is it fucked?

Sorry, query plan pinning.

I'd love to see:

1) Simple, easy to use, high-availability features.

2) Horizontal scalability without having to resort to an extension like Citus.

3) Built-in connection pooler.

4) Query pinning.

5) Good auto-tuning capability.

At least make it user-configurable! I'd trade off a bit of memory capacity for ECC protection in a heartbeat.

It's still cheaper than owning your own (if you already have the unlimited data add-on).

Comcast now offers vastly higher upload speeds (10mbps -> 100mbps) so long as you rent their modem, which is an additional $25/month, but also comes with unlimited data. Paying for unlimited data separately costs $30/month if you own your own modem, but doesn't yet support higher upload speeds. It's unfortunate that this is the case, but for those who need higher upload speeds, it's at least possible with Comcast now.

Not a lecture, but Martin Kleppmann's "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" book is excellent for this.

In doing so, it would be great if you could provide details around extension safety. I've heard that some extensions may not play nicely in combination with others, and it would be really nice to know how one is to vet extensions for use in production.

I found this book to be excellent when I read it, as are most of No Starch's books.

Same issue on Mac. Setting up the recovery key works for me on iOS, yet I'm unable to activate Advanced Data Protection for some reason.

pg_auto_failover is nice: https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover

I like PG's version better--it has better information density. On my 13" MBA's display, I'm able to see the titles of 31 essays without scrolling. On this site, I can only see two.

Great news. Users have been wanting this for years.

Nope

One without physical pain.
