  • PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

    Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

    Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.





  • Same for Architecture in the '11-'16 time. I recall that it supported all the software, had decent performance for CAD use cases and easy to pirate Adobe Suite. All round, solid system that worked out of the box mostly.

    I think that image kind of stuck. Now I see a lot of CompSci students with MacBooks. I understand the desire for compute power, but at the same time I feel they don’t really understand how to use it properly, because of how Apple isolates the user and has such an extensive vendor lock-in strategy.

    I feel like, if you can figure out how to make it work with MS Paint on Windows95 (or FreeBSD on potato laptop for CS), then using anything better will put your skillset on steroids.



  • to identify if they are edible you taste the gills close to the stem, if it’s not spicy it’s edible.

    You’re absolutely correct.

    Hence I added the “probably”, as identifying by picture alone is not at all precisely possible.

    I guess I should have added the spicy taste test. Just didn’t want to invite anyone reading this to go out licking mushrooms all willy-nilly. ;-)
