• Getting Started with Blockchain: A Guide for Beginners

  Great starting points include free online courses on platforms like Coursera or books like Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Lost in life. Need to choose a career

  Anyway now go to coursera.org and for $49 a month get the Google IT Support Professional cert. That gives you a discount for the A+ exam. With a sob story Coursera may reduce the monthly fee as well. Anyway you are halfway to an IT degree and can be admitted to WGU. Source: over 2 years ago

• Did Cousera get hacked today?

  Instead of homepage link opening to coursera.org it redirects to https://www.coursera.org/programs/american-dream-academy-jzjjt?currentTab=CATALOG. Source: about 3 years ago

• Found out my Professor for Fall 2023 Python Course is one of the worst reviewed professors at the school

  In terms of structure, consider following a book like Python for Everybody or Automate the Boring Stuff With Python. One of the hard parts of learning a language like python on your own is knowing what you should learn and the order you should learn it in--resources like these books or online courses you can find on Coursera are great for helping with that.

• Why Node.js needs a virtual file system

  Bun provides native MySQL, SQlite, and Postgres drivers. I'm not saying Node should support every db in existence but the ones I listed are critical infrastructure at this point. When using Postgres in Node you either rely on the old pg which pulls 13 dependencies[1] or postgres[2] which is much better and has zero deps but mostly depends on a single guy.

• Show HN: Pg-typesafe – Strongly typed queries for PostgreSQL and TypeScript

  Is there a way to make this work with https://github.com/porsager/postgres ? It's very close to raw SQL but with safe substitutions. I use it with Zod, but it would be great to have the types derived automatically. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Pipelining in psql (PostgreSQL 18)

  I really want to use pipelining for our "em.flush" of sending all INSERTs & UPDATEs to the db as part of a transaction, b/c my initial prototyping showed a 3-6x increase: https://joist-orm.io/blog/initial-pipelining-benchmark/ If you're not in a transaction, afaiu pipelining is not as applicable/useful b/c any SQL statement failing in the pipeline fails all other queries after it, and imo it would suck for... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Node.js can now execute TypeScript files

  > What are you missing? Everything else needed to make a backend app. At the very least, Node should provide fundamental pieces like database drivers. Currently the best PG driver[1] depends on a single guy. Bun already provides its own PG driver [2] and Jarred has written they will keep investing into more built-in APIs.

• Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres

  I want to use this as a chance to bring attention to a GitHub issue that I think would help reduce friction for Neon: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4989. Having run a local dev environment connected to Neon and tests connected to Neon got in our way of adoption. We'd prefer to develop and run tests against a regular Postgres localhost database. To the PMs of Neon, put yourself in the shoes of a new... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
