xqzv··on How to run cron jobs in Postgres without extra infrastructure
It's polling using javascript timers: https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/master/src/attorney.j...
xqzv··on I Program with LLMs
Is it too much to ask for a "How I use LLMs to program" article not come from someone who is actively marketing their AI startup?
xqzv··on OpenFPGA
"FPGA is emulation"

You can have any number of issues with Mister, but this is just flat out incorrect if you know the definition of either of those words.

xqzv··on T-Mobile employee pulled nude photos from customers' phones
It's so easy to make an unambiguous condemnation of sex crimes, as you were asked to do. I think we got the clarification we were looking for. Congrats on being "edgy".
xqzv··on T-Mobile employee pulled nude photos from customers' phones
He deserves to get caught for abusing public trust to do disgusting and awful things. Would you be fine with this if he hadn't been caught?
xqzv··on What they don't tell you about event sourcing
I was always under the impression that using event sourcing, you would still denormalize your data for maximally efficient querying, while using events as a journaling system (for replayability and atomicity).

Even if your database is built from the ground up for event sourcing, the degree of query efficiency is the degree to which it does the above.

xqzv··on Equity for All?
How out of touch can you be?

So her company facilitates equity for tech workers, an industry whose goal is to 'disrupt' all other job markets. They justify this by claiming to empower individual workers. Her unique justification is to empower women in tech specifically.

She does not acknowledge that her company will benefit from this decrease in demand for labor, which will also affect women. She does not consider the countless women in legacy jobs that tech has eliminated, who stay at those jobs even after sexual harrassment, never mind filing suit (something that almost no one except serial executives is equipped to do).

Not to mention her completely unfalsifiable claim that the things she was fired for demonstrate sexism following from nothing other than the fact that she is female.

So she posts a hybrid call-for-cancellation and job posting, so she can hopefully get back to work disrupting asap.
