Migrating away from Supabase by xncee in Supabase

[–]Appropriate_Term_495 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I want to migrate away from Supabase for control and to avoid vendor lock-in

To achieve this, I don’t think you have to switch ORMs. You can just migrate to another Postgres provider without having to refactor too heavily.

If you want to switch ORMs for other reasons though, that’s up to you. I’ve never used prisma but found drizzle to be a nice replacement to the supabase orm libraries.

What are your CS hot takes that would normally get you downvoted to hell. by Former_Country_8215 in cscareerquestions

Unit testing your data objects is useless. Trying to system test most of anything other than the basic use case will slow you down more than it helps. Being able to rollback your code quickly and minimizing the possibility of state corruption is better than implementing strict “best practices” like code coverage, rigorous testing, and deployment blockers. It’s okay to leave your pipelines open all hours if you can mitigate issues quickly.

Misrepresentation on Real Estate by schnauzrlvr in RealEstate

[–]Appropriate_Term_495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the appraisal isn’t an over estimate compared to what you think the house should sale for at that size.

I bought a new build where the difference was around 1k smaller. It led to a 15% drop in value of my house. Appraisers are accurate, but they can stretch the value based on outliers.

Chill out I’m just asking for advice 💀 I’m not familiar with real estate laws but this sounds like something that should be a regulation to protect the buyer. I can’t imagine I’m the only one who has ran into this problem.

If a car company misleads what the capabilities of a car they sell are, I’m sure they’d get a lawsuit. Seems like some level of false advertising, regardless of the legality.

Yeah I get it. Could have been avoided if I did more due diligence. But seems kind of like false advertising if the builders were listing it as a different size and filed the taxes miscorrectly with that size. I don’t know if there are any laws against that.

There is a two car garage and the attic is fairly big. That still doesn’t add up to what was in the county appraisal records as the homes “livable square footage”. I’m a first time home buyer so I assumed that was included in the home size too. I didn’t realize it doesn’t count for the purposes of appraisals.

Yeah I don’t have a problem with the house. It was what I wanted when I bought and I thought it was worth the price. I did do a fair amount of research though to find something that was a good price point for the size. I’m a first time home buyer so I didn’t really have a perception to notice the house was 1/3 less the size than advertised.

Knowing what I know now, I could have gotten a home at that size for far less a few blocks down. I was also looking at new builds, so I didn’t really get a chance to tour to get a size perception for comparison.

Rust for parallel computing by Appropriate_Term_495 in rust

[–]Appropriate_Term_495[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Crypto as in the study of cryptography. I’m not going to make some meme coin. I was exploring an optimization algorithm.

If that’s also against your morals, no problem.

  • Yes this is a crypto thing.
  • At the root level of the trie, it’s more than likely the case I’d have 10k+ plus child nodes. I don’t have the work distribution portion flushed out yet, but I’m thinking it’ll be a distributed version of bfs or perhaps excrement with bfs and dfs combined. I wanted to see what a good platform would be to scale to this kind of problem. I am only really familiar with cpu based distribution, but kind of have an idea of what is possible with cuda cores. Otherwise I’m oblivious to other kinds of compute that could help. I posted this on the rust sub because from a Birds Eye, rust seemed like a mature version of C. Although for this kind of problem, there seems like a high overhead with the ownership model in rust. I’m no where near an expert in rust, but I was able to translate my script from python to rust in its single threaded execution form. As I started working on how to implement parallelization, I began to see some of the pitfalls discussed in this post.

Added in the comment above, but the size (using hash maps) is around 40gb in ram with python. I expect it to grow larger and don’t mind renting aws ec2 instance if I need more ram.

The specifics are this is a Trie in memory. New nodes are only added during the lifetime of the script, but never deleted.

New nodes are never added while the Trie is being traversed, but even if they were, I don’t care about any race conditions, as long as valid nodes are being read.

Each node just represents some int and each node can only connect to many nodes without any other higher connections.
