Are you sure COVID-19 didn't partially prick a systemic issue that was hard to see on the rise (as many also missed the housing crisis before the fall)? For example, the amount the stock rise was attributed to stock buybacks in an unsustainable manner caused by late stage government policies (tax cuts, low rates). There has been some pretty extreme levels of corporate debt that correlates with this.

Are you sure it wasn't Google's AI that wrote it?

Although the OP didn't describe as such, but health checks that do a simple query are also testing the connectivity to the db. Someone might have hardcoded a db address in an environment variable, or there are connection pooling issues.

We don't use postgres pub/sub for exactly "realtime", but do make use of it in single-page apps that use websockets. A couple notes:

-- LISTEN/NOTIFY has a payload size hardcoded maximum. For big documents, we have to send a record ID then fetch the document upon receiving a message. In practice, it adds 5ms of overhead.

-- One of the best features is that you can combine this with pg_try_advisory_lock to create job queues that use the core locking features of postgres, which are pretty darn reliable and well defined. We use nodejs, and if the server processing a job dies, the lock is released automatically and another nodejs process can pick it up.

"Well, Java isn't verbose."

Maybe its just the code I've read, but its generally much longer than other languages to accomplish the same thing. A bunch of little things add up, such as "extends" instead of ":" for inheritance. Naming things is often longer - maybe its not the language core itself, but a counter example is python coding standards keeps them much shorter. With Go, there's duck typing to not have to declare obvious types (such as for strings).

The goals of the programs in enterprise java apps probably differ by an emphasis on readability and not writing speed. I.e. lambdas are written quicker to write, but maybe a reader would understand a strategy pattern's goal quicker.

Often, the most economical answer is heating a water heater rather than storing via a battery.

Maybe panel prices have dropped enough in the last 4 years that partially-lit areas are now worth covering in solar (cost < savings * acceptable ROI months).

I think NPM 3 is adding flattening. I.e. if A and B both are alright with 1.0.2 of C, then it'll not duplicate it under A and B.

I think the author is referring to using Swift instead of phonegap/cordova/transpilers, since performance will be improved and you're not limited to just javascript as the originating language.
