@cmuratori It’s the same thing as last time with the terminal MSFT: we improved performance for our terminal Performance Community: lol no CMuratori: it should be a lot faster if you implement these low hanging fruits Soydevs: no it’s impossible CM: come watch my stream MSFT: in shambles

At this point I feel like I should do a stream tomorrow to talk about the replies I've seen to this post. I completely disagree with people's umbrage about use of FPS as a metric here: A) that is exactly what time-to-show actually is (we measure 1% and .1% lows in for a reason!), and b) to me, FPS is the most relatable number for response time for average people to understand given that they don't work on software performance for a living like I do. Many people (especially gamers!) intuitively know what 10 or 11fps responsiveness feels like for an action. Few intuitively know what "94ms" responsiveness feels like. I also find it unacceptable to call this "load time" because the user is not asking to "load" anything - it is an action they are taking from a UI that they perceive to be contiguous, and the choice to involve a "load" of any kind at this point is purely the fault of the designers of the system, not some inevitability. Everything has already "loaded" from the point of the view of the user, and if you are claiming to have done a rewrite with performance "top-of-mind", you should have preloaded or precached whatever it is that you believe takes 94ms to "load" here.

@xata Great that you opensourced your technology stack. Thank you. I just have a problem with cnpg as it has split brain issues which are known. github.com/cloudnative-pg… I am not up to date with that issue and switched to patroni. Does xata use patroni ?

Xata is now open source. Apache 2.0. Postgres platform with Copy-on-write branching at the storage layer. Copy a TB-sized database in seconds. Inactive copies scale to zero automatically. 100% vanilla Postgres. Two use cases driving this: • Preview and testing environments with real production data • Platforms provisioning per-user Postgres at scale Built on CloudNativePG + OpenEBS. Runs on Kubernetes. What's in the release: • SQL gateway, responsible for routing, IP filtering, waking up scaled-to-zero clusters, serving the serverless driver over HTTP / websockets, etc. • Branch operator managing all resources related to a branch. • Clusters and projects services for the control-plane and REST APIs • Auth service, based on Keycloack for API keys • CLI that makes use of the REST API • Scale-to-zero CNPG plugin for automatically hibernating branches on inactivity This is the first of several announcements. More next week.

@PethAU @_lhermann @Cloudflare @dok2001 @eastdakota I love accountability

Looking at historical DNS data you switched your NS records to Cloudflare ~3 years ago. ~6 months ago you changed your A records to be routed through, likly to enabled all the protections (Orange Cloud). It was the change 6 months ago that would have started this if it was enabled in the settings screens. Before that Cloudflare did not see every request after that they are proxying every request.

Cloudflare injected a tracking script into my page without asking. If you use their DNS, be aware of this. Very dark-pattern behavior!

I honestly believe that Vim Motions don't actually make you faster at using a text editor, and a well implemented multiple-cursor system + typical modifier keys are actually much faster in practice. Evidence: watch me program on streams with Sublime Text and judge for yourself.

@jluan Why is that slide in English ? Shouldn’t it be in Chinese ?

apparently this is what the chinese AI ecosystem thinks our grand american AI master plan is! (this is not a joke! forwarded to me by an attendee at a real chinese ai conference!)

@PorscheRaces @IMSA Why only 0.3 boost? BOP / regulations ?

#IMSA - The #Porsche963 is powered by the 4.6-litre engine from the #918Spyder. In the LMDh prototype, the power unit runs in conjunction with two turbochargers, which increases ⤴️ the ambient pressure by just 0.3 bars #Raceborn @IMSA #PorschePenskeMotorsport

@Al_Grigor @heyandras llm horror stories

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…

@dhh What’s your experience with ruby and local models @dhh .I am very bullish on rust as the compiler can help a lot to get okish results from local models (you only pay for components and electricity). I believe in the future local models can get good result with rust.

Opus produced the best output with Ruby in this shoot-out between a bunch of different languages. Fewest tokens, fewest LOCs, fastest completion. Maybe one day, AI will just be writing straight machine code, but until then, Ruby is a superb target. dev.to/mame/which-pro…

@byteofbits Wrangling any database at scale requires work and a evolving architecture and I am not sure if changing the whole database system is the correct way instead of reasearching how others have fixed similar problems.

We migrated away from Postgres in our stack back in 2022, when a single large customer onboarding managed to irreparably brick the query planner. We haven’t regretted that decision once.

@_BetterDiscord_ @hyprwm is the best IMO. Loving the quickshell integration.

Is it just me or is KDE kinda ugly compared to GNOME or COSMIC? Doing some distro hopping and can't land on a DE

@bmarci7 Will there be a Linux build or should we use proton ?

The so much requested turbo is here. First iteration though. AI driving, even with no traction assist they can still handle most oversteering. The dashboard starts to look like an airplane... Originally I wanted to get away without turbo, but eventually I got excited about it.

Folks, iximiuz Labs needs your help. I heard it - no one likes subscriptions. So the lifetime option is back. And the cheaper playground-only and content-only plans are also available. But the only way for me to continue working on the platform is the ongoing community support.

@duncanthedev The factory must grow

It's all downhill from here

@bmarci7 Will there be a Linux build or should we use proton ?

1987 USA GP 2:10PM vs 3:37PM 1984 French GP 2:05PM vs 3:25PM The sun moves according to real date and time during the races. Don't forget that shadows affect local track and air temperatures, that affect air density, that affect aero and engine performance... and more :)

@samlambert Connection pooling in Postgres and how you handle your scale ?

What would you like PlanetScale to blog about next?

@teamspeak @spinelessaisha Can we self host version 6 now or is it still not available ?

@spinelessaisha First reasonable and logical take on this topic that I've seen, actually crazy.

look after looking into it the only reason a good discord alternative doesn't exist (or why discord itself isnt that good) is bc a service of this scale being free and having all the convienices we want is unrealistic if its free ur the product etc (1/2)

@IroncladDev BTW pretty happy with halloy.chat/index.html

@IroncladDev I hope the programming community reverts back to irc. IMO we shouldn’t have left and Slack was a mistake.

Looking for a discord alternative to migrate communities from my open source projects to What are we looking at?

When using AGENTS.md add a timestamp or a git hash to the file. So you know when it was updated previously.
