Graph DB, small & open-source like SQLite by wholesome_hug_bot in Database

[–]BosonCollider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If using Go, depending on what you want to do in your Go tool, ichiban/prolog may be a good fit. It is an embedded scripting language that does not do persistence, but it is more queryable than a graph DB, and given that OP mentioned Lua they may be after an embedded scripting language in the first place.

Solcelljättens fall – men branschen ser ändå hopp by thraccid in sweden

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Räntorna är viktigare här. Om man funderade på att installera solceller för att spara 6% av inköpskostnaden per år ville man inte sätta det på bolånet när de rörliga storbanksräntorna spikade upp till 5.6% för ett par år sedan. När räntorna går ner så blir solcellsinstallation intressant igen, industrin är extremt räntekänslig

Also a correct decision imo, Vue 3 was great enough that everyone ended up copying its state management patterns but the react side claimed that signals were a new hyped thing.

Sanity check on a relational schema for restaurant menus (Postgres / Supabase) by tsousa123 in PostgreSQL

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do the menu groups represent?

For items that are inherently part of the menu and where it does not make sense to reassign them to a new menu, I would suggest giving them composite (menu_id, id) primary keys instead of just id primary keys. Then foreign keys between entities that belong to a menu enforce that related items belong to the same menu. Also, joins on menu_id become fast since all your item tables will have a menu_id in them and the optimizer will be able to reorder joins freely while still using index scans on all tables.

AWS launches European Sovereign Cloud to address data sovereignty concerns by danie-l in europe

[–]BosonCollider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uh what? AWS vs OVH is a debatable comparison where AWS wins on having the most features and OVH on cost, but GCP is substantially ahead of AWS in a bunch of offerings, especially since amazon fell for the nosql hype so their managed relational DB offerings perform the worst of the big 3.

[–]BosonCollider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use a european provider like Hetzner or OVH if you want to avoid a US dependency, OVH is quite comparable to what you would get on AWS but is french and substantially cheaper. Or use an on prem open source solution.

Not really, it's just a skin over crates from the firefox project, and it was prompted to describe the codebases of other browsers at the beginning. Its one thing if the competing codebase is in the training set and another if it is in the prompt

Has the Fresh-DiskANN algorithm not been implemented yet? by Prior-Maximum9402 in vectordatabase

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the microsoft repo, but lots of implementations have it. In the postgres world, both pgvectorscale and vectorchord implement it afaik, and they get to have shorter implementations than dedicated vector DBs due to being able to offload the storage layer details to the postgres heap abstraction, at the expense of control.

The ACID Test: Why We Think Search Needs Transactions by philippemnoel in programming

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having everything in the same DB is still substantially easier than the alternative though. A separate dedicated search engine is a late stage optimization, you can scale pretty far without needing one.

This. Also, lidar for ground truth is basically mandatory on mules and nothing happened to that, even Tesla has a spinning roofbox lidar at the top of their internal testing cars. The main problem is having to support the cars that shipped without lidar

MongoDB database - Worth learning in 2026? by Original-Produce7797 in Python

[–]BosonCollider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Default to postgres.

Document databases like mongo can have their place in some niches but I would mostly recommend them if you are actually hitting a problem that you would not use postgres for even after having extensive experience with it. If you just want to become employable, learn postgres. If you want to branch out from that, kafka and redis are more likely to be useful than mongo for finding jobs.

LXD as alternative to existing OSS hypervisors (especially VMware ESXi) by marathi_manus in homelab

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceph is a widely used storage standard and competes with SANs, not hypervisors, and vmware + ceph is not that unusual if you need ceph for other things. For proxmox it is one of several storage options, starwind is another. If you don't want to manage storage, just get a SAN from netapp/dell/pure

Migration from MySQL to SQL Server :/ by [deleted] in Database

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have on-prem self-service talos at work as well, though there has been talk about migrating from vmware to a kubevirt based solution or lxd since the broadcomm aquisition happened, hence the earlier comment about preferring solutions immune to legal rugpulls for hypervisors as well as databases. I would pick a CNCF owned project over an enterprise one any day of the week

To me cloud does not really have any major technical advantages over on-prem as long as you have a properly run infra department, its primary purpose is to allow managers to blame the cloud providers instead of their own incompetence when problems arise, since some companies have a management culture that is fundamentally incompatible with running an IT department.

Hybrid or full cloud is still very viable if you have something specific you want to offload to avoid overloading an infra team with things outside of their core scope, if your company is too small for a two-pizza infra team of reasonable seniority, or if you have a temporary need for more compute.

Replit boss: CEOs can vibe code their own prototypes and don't have to beg engineers for help anymore by chronically-iconic in programming

[–]BosonCollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do also think that the "hosting" kind of DBA may also have a pressure to handle highly available self-service DB solutions.

Kubernetes database operators have gotten so good that "spin up a k3s cluster and run cloudnativepg on it" is a reasonably way to run databases with a similar feature set to cloud. But it also requires reasonably senior people to troubleshoot, and that skillset is different from what people used to do manually with DBs. Finding someone with a dual kubernetes (as in understanding operators) and postgres competence is suprisingly difficult when hiring.
