Cool, I thought I was the only one who has uttered Endeca and Algolia in the same sentence.

I wrote up some tips/impressions on configuring Algolia for ecomm:

Baymard is the gold standard for ecomm UX.

Endeca was killed by Oracle.

I recently completed an Endeca to Algolia migration. I spent quite a bit of time auditing the Endeca implementation, from the XML files to the Windows desktop application. It was pretty good for its era.

I use this feature in VSCode (free version), with this Microsoft extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

The big difference is that duplicate index entries can still occur in B-tree indexes. GIN indexes have to integrate new entries into the posting list every time, which makes data modifications less efficient (this is mitigated by the pending list). In contrast, PostgreSQL deduplicates B-tree entries only when it would otherwise have to split the index page. So it has to do the extra work only occasionally, and only when it would have to do extra work anyway. This extra work is balanced by the reduced need for page splits and the resulting smaller index size.

This article in the Atlantic mentions possible herd immunity at < 40%.

I would be very hesitant to turn an ORM into a "smart" SQL generator. Depending on the type/distribution of data, there are sometimes very different paths to optimizing a query. The ORM as a "stupid" SQL generator (straightforward mapper) is a great way to allow for the flexibility to control how a query is generated.

The DB engine might be the place for those sort of improvements.

I'm in a one bedroom Brooklyn apt. Any time I open up my laptop, my 2yr old daughter climbs onto my lap and repetitively hits the caps lock key (it lights up on my laptop). Luckily, I've found alternative places to work from, albeit with less than ideal setups.

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is down too.

Some tweeters think it might be.

Why work for 6 days and rest for 1, when you can rest for 6 and work for 1?

Does the linter check all or only newly pushed code? Is this configurable at all?

I usually read good technical books twice. Recently did that for: Designing Data-Intensive Applications, DynamoDB Book.

And presumably query the replicas until an up-to-date one is found (based off the LSN of the user).

IIUC they need to query replicas until they find one that is up to date.

"We have to query Elasticache and replicas, which adds latency."

That is exactly what the article negates.

That book does cover many implemention details of a database. However, sometimes at a high level, and as you mention, specifically in the context of distributed systems.

How would you compare Database Internals to Designing Data Intensive Applications?

How important is the programming section for a professional developer?

I was referring to defining optional keys.

If you have a dict with some keys which are optional, you need to create a separate subclass (with `total=False`) just for those optional keys.

With TypeScript, I can just use `key?: type`.

I was surprised to find out that MyPy will throw an error if you use a variable to access a key (https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/7178).

Optional keys are also a nuisance.

1) I doubt the NYC merchandise itself is the advantage, rather it is the concentration of Hasidic entrepreneurs which provides invaluable networks.

2) The need to support a growing family from a young age with no formal education, propels many to try their hand at business.

For those who are manufacturing private label items in China, tarrifs are have the potential to be damaging (depends very much on the product category).

I wrote an intro to the Lucene scoring model with a python example:

Elastic/Solr is a very decent option. Last time I checked, Algolia and other SaaS were too expensive for small businesses.

Exactly.

I suspect that the popularity of these types of articles is that it resonates deeply with highly motivated, self directed learners.

Same goes for articles targeting productivity geeks, and anything self-help related

That's besides the point. The poor guy just wants a life outside work.

on the mark, lots of "pivoting" going on in the bootcamp scene.

What have you used besides AGGrid?

What about remote data? I don't see any mention of built in options for remote sorting, filtering and editing.
