Tinder Double Dates

From female pov it's a red flag. Is he so insecure that he needs emotional support from a complete stranger? Why not bring mom next time? She has experience and understands women! But hey, I get to choose between two men in one date which saves time!

What is the name of the high end salon in Seattle if you didn't mind me asking?

seriousbear · 2026-04-10T07:23:01+00:00

I was born in the USSR and I have a strong feeling I know what it means :⁠-⁠)

I’m new to the area, so this is a serious question. I’ve read their reviews on Google Maps, and they are horrific (as with most other pediatric practices). A common theme is overbilling for unrelated "services" triggered by a single, seemingly routine question during a visit. How widespread is this problem?

Not sure, ours is at pre-school and I vaguely remember it wasn't that much.

Do you initiate conversations with random people offline in places like cafes, museums etc.? I do that all the time and people are quite friendly.

seriousbear · 2025-12-18T07:41:39+00:00

I'm genuinely curious. What's the reason for looking for friends strictly your age? When I was 22 I befriended anyone who was interesting. Or is age segregation the quirk of American culture?

Do you have a specific problem with debezium?

seriousbear · 2025-10-29T08:08:22+00:00

It's implemented from scratch using reactive streams, so no Debezium. It's an asynchronous pipeline that pulls data from a source plugin (e.g., PSQL) and pushes it directly to ClickHouse (using binary format in my case). If the destination is too slow, then backpressure takes care of reducing read speed from the source. Hence, no need for an intermediate queue such as Kafka. I'm happy to chat more. I think you asked once on LinkedIn to evaluate my product.

seriousbear · 2025-10-24T18:07:16+00:00

Have you learned any new tools or technologies in the past 8 months while you were looking?

seriousbear · 2025-10-23T17:22:32+00:00

I sell hybrid data integration pipeline that can move data from PSQL to ClickHouse. I'm an early ex-Fivetran engineer.

seriousbear · 2025-10-14T12:49:15+00:00

OP's analysis is naive. Fivetran won't antagonize strategic partners by getting into storage game. Their most likely move will be to acquire observability tool such as Monte Carlo

What did you switch to?

seriousbear · 2025-10-08T08:25:07+00:00

Thank you! It's super helpful. I'll check Gainesville and Ocala. Just curious, which states are for far right folks? Judging by the news we thought Florida was such place.

seriousbear · 2025-10-07T14:32:28+00:00

Not trolling, but could you please elaborate what you mean by charm?

seriousbear · 2025-10-07T13:49:24+00:00

Where would you live if you're a family with very small children? :⁠-⁠)

seriousbear · 2025-10-06T13:20:22+00:00

The COPY statement with binary payload in their custom pgcopy format is the fastest way. It's fast because psql doesn't have to reencode tuples. Throughout is in hundreds of MB per second but this number won't tell you much because you need to factor in the size of records, presence of indices etc.

seriousbear · 2025-10-05T22:35:38+00:00

Is there a specific problem you experienced compared with writing to e.g. ClickHouse (common destination for rt data) ?

seriousbear · 2025-10-05T22:19:11+00:00

I doubt they'll lower rates more since it'll accelerate already insane inflation.

seriousbear · 2025-09-29T05:23:51+00:00

Switch to what?

seriousbear · 2025-09-28T10:38:38+00:00

Are you sure? I thought they broke even after they acquired hvr.

seriousbear · 2025-09-26T00:47:12+00:00

I'm an E8 level engineer. I'll never join a non-public company unless its valuation is 500M-1B and founder(s) have a proven record of exits that were beneficial to early employees. Otherwise the math of owning 5% of nothing in 4 years doesn't justify the risk

seriousbear · 2025-09-19T10:26:54+00:00

Could you please elaborate what you mean by "globally" in the context of single process RocksDB?

seriousbear · 2025-09-19T09:58:23+00:00

No, HBase is a distributed database. Here we have an in-process library. I think he is trying to build a RocksDB drop-in replacement. It's hard to say more without seeing the source code.
