So did a previous company i worked at, all our stuff was in west-2.. then east-1 went down and some global backend services that aws depended on also went down and effected west-2.

I'm not sure a lot of companies are really looking at the costs of multi-region resiliency and hot failovers vs being down for 6 hours every year or so and writing that check.

Yep. Many, many companies are fine saying “we’re going to be no more available than AWS is.”

Maybe Pocketbase as an alternative?
DrBenCarson · 2 months ago
I would imagine Flyway would be the most robust alternative

If that does not prove that Apple has been very hasty with this update overall, I don't know what does. The bar for quality control has been set kinda low.

ElevenLabs has a much more convincing voice model

Open source?

What does "official" mean? Is it an official elixir-language project? I don't see Jose Valim as one the contributors.
DrBenCarson · 4 months ago
“Official” means built by the creators of Elixir itself

Elixir has more contributors than just Jose (though he is the OG / creator / leader)

As long as you can opt-out it doesn't bother me much. Though it does make me wonder those third party clients that people subscribe to e.g. JetBrains AI, Zed, and others that use Claude and other Anthropic models, do they opt-in for you? Because that would be bad.

I would strongly argue that API clients should NEVER be opted in for these sorts of things, and it should be like this industry wide.

You can opt out until September 28th. After that day all Claude usage will be under the new terms and conditions

What do you mean by 'the early days' ? And how is it a life changer?
DrBenCarson · 4 months ago
Early days as in the first ~4 months of the journey (which is lifelong…a formerly obese person will always be highly likely to regain the weight)

It’s a life changer because when you’re at a significant caloric deficit, your body sheds both fat and muscle. When you lose muscle, your metabolic rate drops, also lowering your rate of fat loss

If you lift even a little, your body will hang on to muscle more effectively, making it easier to lose and maintain weight over a longer period

> And no, the problem is not "Rails"

The problem is they abandoned rails for react. The old SSR GitHub experience was very good. You could review massive PRs on any machine before they made the move.

Well yeah, but just imagine how much money they’re saving by delivering a subpar experience!
DrBenCarson commented on ClickHouse vs PostgreSQL UPDATE performance comparison   clickhouse.com/blog/updat... · Posted by u/truth_seeker

> Caveat: PostgreSQL is fully transactional by default; ClickHouse isn’t. Results compare each engine’s native execution model, not identical transaction guarantees.

I appreciate that they call this out. This means that if you're using Postgres primarily for storing data where it's ok if you lose a few (like time series data) then Clickhouse is the clear and obvious choice.

But if the transactionality is key for you (like a financial application or the data for an application) then Postgres still makes more sense.

Does “data for application” means the operational db?

> Fast for short intervals regularly, and longer fasts as they feel good to you.

You can effectively do this every day if you just eat once per day. When I was properly obese, this technique resulted in rapid weight loss. Zero exercise was required to see results, which was good at the time because the not eating part was about all I could handle.

Being in a fasted state is as close as you can get to actually reversing aging. Your body engages in a process called autophagy when nutrient-sensing pathways are down-regulated. When you are stuffing your face constantly (i.e., every ~8 hours), there is less opportunity for this mechanism to do its job.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy

DrBenCarson · 4 months ago
Latest research (as in only ~2m old) dispels that narrative a bit but not entirely. Looks like spermidine is the autophagy signal but they’re not sure fasting does t always increase spermidine

Also…lifting light weights for like 10 minutes a day at home is a lifechanger in the early days
