I must say that I preferer learning when I have a teacher. I'm having hard time setting a side a dedicated time for learning.

Status page that there are no issues: https://www.redditstatus.com/

A corporate status page is the cagey police chief who mutters "Move along, nothing to see here."

I always thought that such sites only ping web servers, that they don't check functionality.

Downdetector is updated by user reports and there's a comment section.

This looks nice. Unfortunately, I don't have and of the Apple devices so I can't use it.

Can you tell a little bit more how long did it take you to build this app?

Thank you very much ! Oh, that's a shame. I hope it'll one day be available on Android too.

I've started thinking about this app a few month ago (around October 2022). It took me a lot of time to iterate on design and improve it, plus I was working on others projects at the same time. I've got my final design around January 2023 and I've work intensively for ~1 month. Then I released it and started working on improvements, new features etc. I'm now satisfied with the available version, that's why I'm starting to share it :)

Or Google plus for that matter?

Weren’t they the same thing?…

Charles Petzold, now there is name that I didn't hear in a long time. Nostalgia kicks in.

The video claims: "Let's take a look at the top 15 new databases that could disrupt software development in the future. Many new serverless databases leverage tools like Postgres and MySQL, while others attempt build entirely new systems from scratch.

This video is NOT sponsored. No company paid to be on this list."

And the list do databases is:

- Planetscale - Yugabye - NeonDB - Dolt - CockroachDB - Cloudflare D1 - Xata - 8base - EdgeDB - SurrealDB - FaunaDB - memgraph - KeyDB - Meilisearch - MindsDB

I guess that this databases might sound unknown if you are new to the database world. I do recognize a few names from HN threads :)

You can add ClickHouse to the list.

While it is not a new database - it has been around since 2016, and in many areas it became almost ubiquitous, it is still less known to many potential users than it should be.

Many algorithms and ideas originated in ClickHouse and has found their usage in other systems like Apache Arrow, Datafusion, Iceberg, DuckDB, Velox, Apache Doris, Starrocks, TiDB, Tensorbase, YDB, Firebolt, Databend.

PS. I work in ClickHouse: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/

I've just read that there will be more EV vehicles in Netflix shows. And it made me wonder how will they charge EV vehicles? Who operates power plants?

Yeah, I know that gas/oil also degrades over time.

Opens up just fine for me.

It does not work for me from Europe, where are you located?
