Sora is much closer to pulling off the prompt "someone playing a winning card in magic the gathering, close up on the board state as the card is played"
Interestingly, it makes up a card name and shows that fake card (in appropriate colors). Lots of little weirdness, but closer.

Wow, TIL that LISTEN/NOTIFY in Postgres requires a global lock when committing transactions issuing a NOTIFY. Consider listening to the WAL via logical replication as an alternative with no impact on the write path.

Ha, yeah, turns out it was on the load gen side indeed. It was running out of connections. Using HTTP2 mitigates it (via pipelining), which I got reminded of reading the docs of... Hyperfoil ;) Is the project alive? Saw the last post is from a few years back.

every time you think "maybe I should add a layer of caching in the application", take that energy and make the database faster instead

The correct answer is either. Transaction B gets a snapshot that may or may not include the changes from A.
SI does not provide real time guarantees. If you need that, you need Strict Serializability, which guarantees that transactions are ordered in real time.

Published a new blog post: Replacing a Cache Service with a Database
We already use databases, why can't we use them to replace caches as well? Will we ever replace caches entirely with databases? In this post, I will share some ideas, & discuss how we are moving toward this

The fact is there's no practical "there" to leave to, so the description of there being an open protocol is academic.

We just hit a milestone in our exploration of signal-based forms in Angular - our prototype is now merged into the main repository.
This opens the door for some important next steps like compiler integration & interop w/ existing forms.

It’s a prototype and very much a work in progress
But yes, you can start experimenting with Signal forms with today’s pre-release 21.0.0-next.2

To prevent network saturation, TCP sends the first 10 packages and waits for client response before sending more. These 10 initial packages can hold ~14 kb. Therefore, if you keep your responses below that size, they will be significantly faster than bigger ones.

Can you name a native mobile app that gives you the feeling of "I wouldn't be able to build this on the mobile web" from the UI / UX quality perspective?
I am sure there are lots but looking for inspiration of where to look.

So now that we have tools that generate code 10x-100x faster than before (I am talking about LLMs, of course)... which company/team is seeing 10x more code pushed to prod?
And what is happening there with e.g. customer love, revenue? Is it increasing dramatically? Same? Lower?
