Footguns with Postgres “at time zone 'UTC'”
And why you may need to repeat AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' twice. SUMMARY * AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' converts the data type from timestamptz to timestamp (example). * Now you are inadvertently using the timestamp without time zone (aka timestamp) data type, which is markedly discouraged. * There are tons of footguns with timestamp…

JIT-optimized Ruby can outperform a C extension
YJIT’s ability to improve performance by adapting to run-time behavior can increase the speed of our code in a way that dropping down to C can’t. As such, I think we should reconsider the common wisdom that “rewriting our Ruby in C” is the ideal path to performance optimization and take a serious look at “rewriting…

Bootstrap 4 and Foundation 6 are the latest versions of the most widely used CSS frameworks out there. Foundation 6 is stable whereas Bootstrap 4 hasn’t been released yet.

The saga of the Closure compiler, and why TypeScript won

It looks at how its focus on minification led to very different design choices than TypeScript, and how this and a few other factors led to TypeScript becoming the ubiquitous solution for JavaScript + types. The…
