Non-work banter and water cooler conversation

A place for non-work-related flimflam, faffing, hodge-podge or jibber-jabber you’d prefer to keep out of more focused work-related channels.

that feeling when the last couple of days of performance problems are solved by an init container with

DELAY="$(( $RANDOM % 120 ))"
echo "Delaying by $DELAY"
sleep "$DELAY"

to be fair to myself, i don’t know this application very well and it tends to lock up in 2 different databases at least

Haha I just realized this was posted back in 2018. thought it was some new information, but nope. Likely not going to see this for a while.

heh, we did some in-house http-over-udp magic back in ~2010, 2011. I’m sure google did theirs better, we just needed it for a single service - and it was a “if we need this in the future, we’ll invest more in it as we scale up” prototype…

Does anyone know any similar Slack’s for Database related stuff? Trying to use a database trigger in MongoDB to bump a specific document field into a new document and having some issue but hard to know where to ask besides SO https://stackoverflow.com/q/62518308/7987987

My $or selector in a database trigger match expression doesn't work at the second level of nesting when configuring a database trigger

Update: I use "$match expression" to describe this but I don’t actually use the $match operator. According to the docs, the selector should conform with $match’s syntax, though the $match

https://medium.com/python-pandemonium/building-robust-rabbitmq-consumers-with-python-and-kombu-part-1-ccd660d17271

Is there something I can do to stop people from copying and pasting code from this dangerous person? I don’t think there are comments on Medium anymore… The “robust” code collapses when processing takes more than heartbeat interval, which leads to messages being redelivered, which means the longest processing jobs will occur multiple times for the same messages, until they somehow happen to succeed.

Last week I had to fix code which was basically this, copied and pasted. In general case it is impossible to consume from a RabbitMQ queue without a dedicated thread for RabbitMQ communication.
