Is it though? I read this post earlier this year and it mirrors some similar tests I did back in 2020 when I was just checking basic perf between PostgreSQL / SQL Server / MySQL on my laptop.
> A simple conclusion: Postgres engine family is about twice as fast as MySQL engine family, except MariaDB.
Also:
> Postgres has worse connection handling
Is this addressed in PG14? Or is it still to come in PG15? I haven't kept up with the latest Postgres stuff but I thought they were fixing the connection stuff.
I always considered the team I was in, in Singapore a 'family'. By family we would always help each other out, and work together to ensure the team's projects finished and there was never bad blood between any of the co-workers, /try/ to go to lunch together (due to religion / diet restrictions we would often change lunch up to cater for everyone)
But it was never about working late (which i actively discouraged, to the point i yelled at the guy who sat across from me one evening because he kept staying late, and he had a family with 2 kids at home). We worked together, succeeded together, failed together. Never threw anyone under the bus, took responsibility together.
Our team was super productive, delivered a lot of good work, rarely ever caused production issues as the features were well tested... compared to the other teams. Knew the domain and the code really well. Then covid hit and management decimated the team overnight. I was absolutely gutted, made me so sick to my stomach I couldn't work for a week.
Co-workers being a 'family' in a business will never work with upper management being included.
I went to a course by Udi Dahan once, about CQRS. One of the people asked him a question about CRUD. Something along the lines of how would you use CQRS for simple CRUD operations. And Udi was like "just go to the database".
The guy kept asking the same question different ways like Udi didn't understand the question. The response was always the same. Then Udi said, if you need to go to the database, go to the database, don't over complicate things.
It was like a lightbulb for me, having spend ages always trying to fix everything into an abstraction of some sort instead of just getting stuff done.
It doesn’t work in every app. It doesn’t even work in a lot of apples own apps... you hold shift and click in 1 app, it works, try it in another app and it only resize vertically and not horizontally.
Resize a window and drag it to the top will increase total height of screen.
Drag a window to the top and it maximizes.
Drag to left to dock to left side. (repeat for right side)
Drag to top left to dock to top left corner. (repeat for all corners)
Win+Arrow (Up) to full screen.
Win+Arrow (Down) to un-full screen. Down again to minimum.
Win+Shift+Arrow (left/right) to change screen.
Win+Arrow (left/right) to move between docking left/right.
On a mac you cannot even maximum a window properly, and works differently in different apps. Window management is terrible on a mac. The only window management it does right is the way it handles the virtual desktops. Cos that still sucks on Windows.
If the telemetry says that many people use these features, are Microsoft out of touch? These are features we don’t use. But other people might.
My dad rang me once said that when playing solitaire it kept playing ads. I said he can buy it so the ads go away or find another app that doesn’t have ads. He’s like “ah what ever I’ll watch the ads”. He’s happy and content. Just wants solitaire.
Haha, I remember playing a rpg game where you had to kill this undead boss, it's kinda hard but it turns out if you cast heal on him it killed him in 1 hit.
