   Essential Professional Network — Valuable but Sometimes Noisy

   I use LinkedIn almost every day for career networking, following industry news, and job hunting, and overall it’s been very useful. It’s the go-to place to connect with colleagues, recruiters, and professionals in your field — and I’ve gotten valuable opportunities just from profile visibility and posts.

   The job search tools are solid, with alerts and recommended roles based on your profile. It’s also handy for building your personal brand by sharing content or engaging with discussions in your industry.

   That said, LinkedIn’s feed can sometimes feel noisy with overly promotional posts, irrelevant updates, or recruiters spamming every connection. And while the Premium subscription adds features like InMail and deeper insights, it feels pricey if you’re only occasionally job hunting.

   Overall, LinkedIn is a powerful professional platform that delivers real value, but it’s not perfect

   🏁 Competitors: indeed

   👍 Pros:    Excellent networking and career-building platform.

   👎 Cons:    Feeds can get cluttered with irrelevant posts or spam.

• Materialized views are obviously useful

  Did I miss in the article where OP reveals the magic database that actually does this? 3rd party solutions like https://readyset.io/ and https://materialize.com/ exist specifically because databases don’t actually have what we all want materialized views to be. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• The Missing Manual for Signals: State Management for Python Developers

  This triggered some associations for me. Strongest was Cells[0], a library for Common Lisp CLOS. The earliest reference I can find is 2002[1], making it over 20 years old. Second is incremental view maintenance systems like Feldera[2] or Materialize[3]. These use sophisticated theories (z-sets and differential dataflow) to apply efficient updates over sets of data, which generalizes the case of single variables.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Category Theory in Programming

  It's hard to write something that is both accessible and well-motivated. The best uses of category theory is when the morphisms are far more exotic than "regular functions". E.g. It would be nice to describe a circuit of live queries (like https://materialize.com/ stuff) with proper caching, joins, etc. Figuring this out is a bit of an open problem. Haskell's standard library's Monad and stuff are watered down to... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Building Databases over a Weekend

  I agree. So many disparate solutions. The streaming sql primitives are by themselves good enough (e.g. `tumble`, `hop` or `session` windows), but the infrastructural components are always rough in real life use cases. Crossing fingers for solutions like `https://github.com/feldera/feldera` to solve their memory issues, or `https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/materialized-view` to solve reliable streaming consumption.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
