It would be interesting to know if the same is true for Intel/AMD. I have one NVIDIA PC and the desktop - not even Games - feels very sluggish on GNOME - I haven't tried KDE yet. On the contrary, my AMD gaming rig subjectively feels very snappy, but I have never measured it.

The only interface that works for me efficiently with LLMs is the chatbot interface. I rather copy and paste snippets into the chat box than have IDEs and other tools guess what I might want to ask AI.

The first thing I do with these integration is look how I can remove them.

It's still common in IT departments to enter the domain administrator password to join a computer to a domain or install software on a client machine. This seems insane to me, you can just fake the windows gui in a Fullscreen application and keylog the password - even using a web browser. I think AD is a relic of the 90s that should be retired

Now do one with ECC!

Not OP, but I have converted a couple of projects from knex to kysely recently. With Typescript kysely is much better. With kysely-codegen you can generate typescript types for a pre existing schema too.

Stuff becomes legacy not because of the language, but because of outdated libraries or frameworks or unavailable/uninterested developers. For me PHP is legacy, because I refused to work on PHP codebases, except I find someone who's willing to do the job for me.

At least couchdb is also append only with vacuum. So it's maybe not completely outdated.

I build an internal project using CouchDB2 as a backend in 2017 and it's still used today. CouchDB definitely surpassed my expectations in what has been possible to do with it. Its biggest advantages are that data sync is effortless and that it uses HTTP as a protocol, so you can communicate directly with it from a web application.

uuidv7 will be supported in PostgreSQL 17, at which point generation should be as fast as uuidv4, or if you implement it in pgsql now it will be as fast as the proposed ULID algorithm.

Insert performance could be even better, iirc for BTree Indexes monotonic increasing values are better than random ones, but feel free to correct me on that ;)

idk, when I want productivity I go with nodejs these days. lodash for some quick data crunching and pg or mariadb for db access using promises simply beats native php functions. with express you can spawn a http server in under 10 lines, while with php you need to setup apache/nginx or docker.

at some point in the past PHP was the most productive tool for some quick & dirty coding, but not anymore for me.

In the graphics benchmarks it performs mostly worse than the 5600g/5700g. That's pretty disappointing 3 years later.

Does this stay compatible with the old uuid column type, as uuidv7() uses the same 128 bit format as gen_random_uuid()?

That would mean it's easy to update old apps, as we would only have to change the default value for the columns.

Awesome, this might be just what I needed! I need to run vscode and it seems to be possible if you launch it with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland . I'll play around with it the next days, thanks!
