If you're working at any decent scale, the journey is the opposite IMO.

(Most) CRUD/OLTP applications don't delete data by timestamp; they delete by primary key. For those workloads, DROP TABLE (or dropping a partition) isn't a palatable option.

UUID v7 to the rescue!

But with formal methods, you can prove that "for any input x, foo(x) returns a string with no trailing whitespace".

Isn't that essentially property testing?

but that looks pretty close to pricing for SMS. Which makes market sense (imho) because it's a substitute good

People switched to whatsapp because:

1. It was free unlike SMS 2. It was ubiquitously available like SMS (unlike BBM) 3. It was genuinely a good product.

This feels like Whatsapp (Meta) is rug pulling the users once everyone has moved to Whatsapp, almost analogous to what Uber did. Drive Taxis out of business with predatory pricing, and then increase the prices.

I could be wrong, but with Citus, for most use cases, you can only have one co-ordinator node which fans out requests. So theoretically, you still can run into bottle necks at some point if 1 coordinator node is not enough.

With proxies like pgdog, multigres, and eventually Neki, these can scale out horizontally, so you get true unlimited scale.

There's multiple solutions coming up in this space:

1. Neki as you mentioned 2. PgDog 3. Multigres, headed by original creator of Vitesse

Patroni 1.0 was released in 2016, i.e ~10 years ago.

Semi related question - I have always wondered, how do you tackle OOM issues at the proxy layer, i.e. let's say a particular SQL query requires proxy to fan out the query to multiple shards, which return a pretty large dataset. I'm assuming you would need to load this dataset in the ram to perform certain operations. What happens if the resulting dataset causes the proxy pod to go OOM?

Do you’ve proof for that? On the other hand, AIPAC is out there for anyone to see

Given that US spies on other countries, including allies (countless examples), I wouldn't rule out them spying on Israel either.

How many of those countries openly lobby politicians in USA though?

They sure do, but looking at recent events, you can make an educated guess on which country has more influence over the other. Part of it can be attributed to spying and knowing dark? secrets.

There's also the "bible": https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action-third-edition

Is it actually refreshing? It's actually refreshing to see Stripe staying private for so long. That means, they have a sustainable business model, and can take on projects that might benefit users in the long term despite negative short term consequences instead of focus on growing at all cost for the most part.

Serious question, have you been part of an org that had to scale orders of magnitude very quickly?

Anyone who has been part of that journey knows how painful it really is. A lot of times the systems to fail at all levels, and you have to redesign it from the first principles.

Majority of US voted for Trump. Maybe not aligned with your version of US, but this is what the majority wanted

Quoting a guy who is (in)directly responsible for murder of about 4 million people. Nice

If China ever feels emboldened enough to go for Taiwan and the US descends into complete chaos, the rest of the world running on AI will be at the mercy of authoritarian regimes.

Alternative being the current reality and world being dominated by US. Let's ask people in Middle East/Asia/South America about how they feel about that. In this current day and age, how is this statement even relevant?

Sorry, should've AI will replace software engineers in 6-9 months. I'm hoping AI will be the one responding to this incident as well.

Coding is solved

The irony of that statement given the current circumstances

With the same logic, you could also justify bombing white house since they're clearly using weapons to destroy civilian infrastructure in other countries, and also murder civilians. That would be classified as a terror act though.

So what's the difference in your eye?

At this rate, if the official religion of USA was a different one, they would be categorized as a terrorist state

I don't how exaggerated this story is, but one of my buddies did his internship at TD. One of his skip managers told him if you know COBOL there are departments that will give you a blank cheque during salary ngotiation.

Bush assembled a large coalition of many allies to share the costs

Assembled, and also blackmailed UN security council.

Is it only Musk? Pretty sure the President himself is manipulating the market

Sports betting is regulated, prediction markets aren't though. That's a pretty stark difference

So just like US and Israel?

My analogy is more akin to using Google Maps (or any other navigation tool).

Prior to GPS and a navigation device, you would either print out the route ahead of time, and even then, you would stop at places and ask people about directions.

Post Google Maps, you follow it, and then if you know there's a better route, you choose to take a different path and Google Maps will adjust the route accordingly.
