<p>I'm pretty sure the article is joking<p>> If the vulnerability were critical, someone would have merged it by now.<p>> GitHub Copilot can automatically suggest fixes for security vulnerabilities. Instead of updating to a patched version, let AI generate a workaround in your own code.</p>

<p>Agree with other commenters that the title is a bit confusing and should be renamed to something like "Is your Postgres workload read heavy or write heavy?"<p>But title aside, I found this post very useful for better understanding PG reads and writes (under the hood) and how to actually measure your workload<p>Curious if the tuning actions any different if you're using a non-vanilla storage engine like AWS Aurora or GCP AlloyDB or Neon?</p>

<p>I don't think Anthropic's $200/mo unlimited plan is evidence that free plans are a ticking time bomb<p>It's evidence that gen AI products is incompatible with unlimited plans. To be sustainable, it requires usage limits or usage based pricing</p>

<p>Big +1 for Bunny.net - I moved my current company to Bunny and it's been excellent. Super fast (for our PoPs at least), reasonable pricing, love the image optimizer & edge rules (especially for solving header issues when embedding documents), has a Terraform provider, and I was able to set most of it up in a day. Was a night and day difference from GCP's Cloud CDN</p>

<p>Good to see Skip on the home page! We were evaluating Skip just a couple weeks ago for a side project.<p>The issue we ran into is that we've already built a native iOS app with SwiftUI + a bit of UIKit. Integrating Skip with an existing app seemed like a significant task<p>Does that hold true in your experiences? Do you have any examples of small- or medium-sized existing apps that have migrated to Skip?</p>

<p>That's a fair point - it can vary a lot between groups and it can certainly relate to life stage / situation. Students and roommates are a large portion of the market for bill splitting apps. In my experience those groups tend to care more about splitting things accurately / fairly, perhaps as they have a more limited income</p>

<p>Yep the split is the same but the conversions back to your base currency that can be a bit of a faff, especially if we're on holiday and doing these calculations multiple times per day<p>For example if I go to a restaurant with a large group and each item on the bill is in yen, we need to sum each person's total in yen and then convert each of their totals into GBP so we can each transfer what we owe (easy enough)<p>But depending on the exchange rates and rounding, those calculations can sometimes be off by a penny or two. Some people don't mind, others do</p>
