I've known and used SQL for 25 years; over the last year I haven’t written a single query by hand - AI is very good at it. I use SQL editors only to quickly see what I have there and to check the AI-generated query.

GPT-5 says that now its not. So while lampreys are technically fish under traditional definitions, modern evolutionary science places them as one of the most primitive branches of vertebrates—not part of the “true” jawed fish group.

While reading an article, I went to check how an eel differs from a lamprey - and I found out that a lamprey isn’t actually a fish

An article that's basically an ad for Datadog: Pay us a ton of money - it’s still cheaper in the long run.

Cloudflare results with worker as a reverse proxy can be much better.

Hi! In your benchmark, do you use a fixed number of iterations to stop the test, or do you apply a statistical criterion, such as the Student's t-test, to determine when to stop?

Why Hatchet might be better than Windmill: Windmill uses the same approach in PostgreSQL, very fast and has an incredibly good UI.

Hetzner is terminating contracts with all users who had a Russian postal address

cybice — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 13:39:37 +0000

Just received: We regret to inform you that due to the tense geopolitical situation with Russia, we will be ending our contractual relationship with customers from Russia.

Political decisions have led to changes in the legal regulations that affect our business with Russian-based customers. Unfortunately, we can no longer have contracts with customers with Russian postal addresses. This will affect everyone with a Russian address stored on Hetzner Accounts.

After we analyze the customer databases, we will send the affected customers a notice of termination for all products and services on Friday, 15 December 2023. It will take effect from 31 January 2024. We recommend that you take appropriate measures now.

Ask HN: Why most/all client HTML routers suck in iOS for swipe-back navigation

cybice — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 23:36:44 +0000

Most of the frameworks I used (svelte-kit/remix/nextjs) in IOS when navigating backwards either don't show the previous page (especially if it was scrolled) or lose scroll position. (sometimes they work but not on every visit, some race condition or like exists) Without a client router with native navigation, everything looks fine.

Performance is huuuge issue with RLS, as it works like an optimization barrier. Because of security RLS rules are applied initially and then all/most indexes you have just not working at all. ITs not like single WHERE clause with injected RLS checks

New comment by cybice in "Terraform should have remained stateless"

cybice — Sat, 28 May 2022 07:09:47 +0000

"None" state store definitely would be good for one of our case - automatic preview deploys for pull requests. Statefull approach works good 99.9% of time but rare errors like inability to destroy resource because of cloud provider issues cause that you need manual interventions - i.e. resource cant be created as not managed by state etc. Even rare errors are not rare when you have 20+ devs :-)

That needs some manual fixes i.e import state, killing resources etc but not all devs has access rights or knowledge to do this.

Can I cache my API response if it contains data from Google geocoding/places API

cybice — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 17:04:12 +0000

Can I cache my api response if it contains data from google geocoding/places api having that caching is prohibited by google policies.

Can I store any data received from google api endpoints having that database is some kind of cache.

cybice — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 06:48:09 +0000

As webdeveloper I have a strong feeling that we are writing web for google bot and not for people. For any website I created I have a list from SEO what to add. Like 200 links at each page bottom, different titles, headers, metas, human readable urls without query params, all that canonical urls, nofollow rules etc. Most of this things invisible to users and created only for googlebot.

New comment by cybice in "Why Russians do not smile (2002)"

cybice — Fri, 28 May 2021 21:53:22 +0000

Changed a little bit since that time. Mostly in cities, now we are smiling when meet with people we know well. This allows me to trick the system sometimes, every time I need something from government structure Im smiling there like an idiot, that cause unknown people to think that they know me and then help.
