west0n··on Focus by Automation
Previously, I also used various so-called tiling window managers and configuring lots of shortcuts to improve my typing efficiency. Now, I mainly focus on researching how to use GPT to generate code .. Perhaps, in the future, using GPT effectively to generate code and documentation could create many 10x or even 20x programmers.
west0n··on Bug hunting in Btrfs
I'm very curious if there are any databases running in production environments on Btrfs or ZFS.

The vast majority of databases currently recommend using XFS.

In East Asian cuisine, such as Japanese dishes, mackerel is a common ingredient. Grilled mackerel is delicious. Generally speaking, salmon is a fish with relatively low mercury content, much lower than that of tuna, making it a healthy choice among seafood.

west0n··on Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
What surprises me the most is that this project is developed in C#, while Dragonfly is developed in C++, and Redis is in C.
west0n··on Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
From the benchmark performance charts(https://microsoft.github.io/garnet/docs/benchmarking/results...), the throughput of the GET command exceeds that of Dragonfly by more than tenfold. While 50% latency is slightly higher than Dragonfly, the 99th percentile is slightly lower than Dragonfly. Both the throughput and latency of Garnet and Dragonfly are far better than Redis, indicating that Redis may require a significant performance optimization.
west0n··on Show HN: I've built a MySQL proxy that supports online DDL
Both PlanetScale and Neon have the branch feature, and it significantly simplify the process of testing and staging. However, the feature in PlanetScale is closed-source, nice to see an open-source alternative of that.
