New comment by saintfiends in "Meilisearch – search engine API bringing AI-powered hybrid search"

saintfiends — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 17:49:34 +0000

Meilisearch is really good for a corpus that rarely changes from my experience so far. If the documents frequently change and you have a need to have those changes available in search results fairly quickly it ends up with pending tasks for hours.

I don't have a good solution for this use-case other than maybe just the good old RDBMS. I'm open for suggestions or anyway to tweak Meilisearch for documents that gets updated every few seconds. We have about 7 million documents that's about 5kb each. What kind of instance do I need to handle this.

New comment by saintfiends in "Preview of Explore Logs, a new way to browse your logs without writing LogQL"

saintfiends — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 18:02:13 +0000

Loki OSS is just a sales pitch for their managed service. It doesn't work well without dedicating significant time tweaking and configuring it. Documentation is confusing at best if you want to do anything serious. You have to also be ready to handle support calls if you open it up for others to use, because it WILL have issues fairly regularly if you have a good volume of logs and query range is more than a day or two.

Unless you have the bank to go with their managed service, don't bother.

What's the best option to buy a framework laptop outside of US. I tried shipping them to a parcel forwarder but they didn't also accept non-US debit cards.

New comment by saintfiends in "EdgeDB 3.0"

saintfiends — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 17:54:37 +0000

Hey Yury, congratulations on the new release!

From what I'm seeing, the upgrade path is essentially dump and restore. This was the case for moving from EdgeDB v1 to v2 as well. Since EdgeDB is a fast moving target this creates a lot of friction for older databases to upgrade.

Is there plans for replication support or a more robust upgrade path?

saintfiends — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 07:20:53 +0000

I'm a long term vim user and now exclusively a neovim user. I adopted this from the first time I came across this. It's pretty neat, it does break from time to time but there's always a GitHub issue describing a workaround. It's pretty stable these days and breaks far less comparatively.

I've been using chezmoi too and this is the only feature I miss. It'd be interesting to know what solutions folks are using. Chezmoi has some discussions around it, mostly recommending to use run scripts.

Does it support OAuth1 delegation. Could you point to the docs

New comment by saintfiends in "Building a patient monitoring system with Go and Vue in 3 days"

saintfiends — Sat, 02 May 2020 13:48:30 +0000

Interesting idea. I'm not sure how scalable this would be given the fragile nature of the tools.

I want to believe with enough indications of the monitoring itself (Is the screen being refreshed? Is network connected ? When was it last checked?) that this is a viable option and that would unlock a lot of possibilities.

But I can't shake off the feeling of uneasiness (What if it's not working and we don't know it's not working)

PS: I'm not bashing on what was done, just the general idea.

Thank you for this. I like that it's small enough to be motivational instead of being complex and intimidating.

World needs more of these for other complex topics.
