Exploring PL/pgSQL: Strings, arrays, recursion, and parsing JSON

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Next in exploring PL/pgSQL: Implementing a Forth-like interpreter PostgreSQL comes with a builtin imperative programming language called PL/pgSQL. I used to think this language was scary because it has a bit more adornment than your usual language does. But looking deeper,...

Build a serverless ACID database with this one neat trick (atomic PutIfAbsent)

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

9 months ago

Every year I sit down and take a look at how my YouTube channel has been doing. I reflect, evaluate, and set goals for the coming year. This year is no exception. January 13th, 2020, marks my fourth year on YouTube. Time to do a little retrospective.

Tom Warren for The Verge: AMD Radeon RX 9070 / 9070 XT Review and Benchmarks The RX 9070 is around 17 percent faster than Nvidia’s RTX 5070 in 4K without upscaling enabled, cruising past Nvidia’s card for the same price. The RX 9070 XT is as fast

Turning leftover PC parts into a decent gaming PC

from ./techtipsy [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Introduction About a year ago, I bought an used PC based off of a Lenovo Erazer X510. It had a dual-core Intel Pentium G3220 CPU, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a crappy Codegen 400W power supply and a 60GB SSD. I added an Nvidia GTX 1050 and just like that, a budget gaming PC was born. My...

It turns out that you can’t trust any USB type A power adapter to be within spec. I have a Catit Flower Fountain for my two adorable cats. The idea of a water fountain for cats may sound odd, but having one really helps with cats staying hydrated and that alone avoids all sorts...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
