All I can think of is image generation of potential targets like ships, airplane, airfield and feed them to their satellite or drones for image detection and tweak their weapons for enhance precision.

I'm loving htmx! as backend developer this just eliminates all the js monstrosity of packaging, dependencies and deployments..

Thanks for the hardwork zzzeek! I've been using sqlalchemy for 5+yrs now and it's great to work with!

I like SQL and I like the ORM. When things go tough like doing complicated JOINs or OLAP. I just go raw sql. If it's OLTP, updates and simple lookups, ORM makes the code readable.

The alembic migration is also great! I can craft the models to design with postgres features (index, multi key index, pk uuid) and etc..

I'd would love sqlalchemy to invest more on scaling. Although scaling is an entire book of discussion. Not much resources are there for handling multiple db, sharding (maybe too much to ask).

My opinion is, love SQL and Love the ORM. You'll need both to appreciate it's power. It's like learning VIM, a long term investment tool and hard to :wq

Loving how zfs is so easy once you get a hang of it.

I'm trying to test it out on an i3a.large instance with 1.2TB NVME ssd and benchmarking postgres on it. Trying to move out of RDS since time to time I have an heavy iops scripts.

Only thing left is doing zfs snapshots next for my backups. zfs snapshots or pg_dump snapshots? I wonder what's better.

Can confirm the experience, I had to work on a company before with similar tech using Django.

All I can say, that it was a nightmare to do deployment and migration and some backward incompatibility features restrained us in some ways.

The company valued data isolation as a priority rather than ease of developing it. Hard to work with but great for data isolation.

Exactly it's a bit more of work does make you prone to mistakes. This is what happens when you rewrite transaction on your application. See what happens with to a btc exchange using mongo who got hacked.

I'm a bit outdated with mongo since 2.4-2.6 . It's a bit traumatic and i'm never coming back to it.

If in case I'll need a high atomicity and consistency for financial transaction i'll just use postgres with SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation. This solves everything.

Checkout the redbook.io it's a bit outdated but you can see from stonebreaker's discussion that nosql + sql will merge, which is what happening or happened right now. Mongo having transaction, and SQL having json datatypes.

How does Thinkpad compare to the trackpad of mac nowadays?

The only thing that makes me use mac is the trackpad and retina. I have 15" late 2015 mbp, so far the best mbp out there w/o the butterfly keyboard.

Im still considering to go back to thinkpad for my next laptop since i had t42p, t60 before.
