Good system design

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-13 05:38:46

I see a lot of bad system design advice. One classic is the LinkedIn-optimized “bet you never heard of queues” style of post, presumably aimed at people who are new to the industry. Another is the Twitter-optimized “you’re a terrible engineer if you ever store booleans in a database” clever trick. Even good system design advice can be kind of bad.

REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Review: All-Weather, All-Season Family Tent

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-11-17 21:00:00

When my wife and I had kids, one of the first things we did was get a bigger tent. Fifteen years ago, the nicest car camping tent I could find was REI's Kingdom 6. All these years later, that tent is still going strong (a friend is off camping in it right now), but it turned out that we never really needed all that room. I'd happily trade that room for little more strength in stormy weather, which always seem to find me when I'm camping, and a smaller footprint that will fit in more spots. That

Why We Migrated from Neon to PlanetScale

news.ycombinator.com Anthony Ronning 2025-11-23 20:02:03

In May 2025, during the same week Neon announced their acquisition, our databases went down four times. For hours. Database spin-ups, their entire value proposition, were completely disabled. Our "serverless" databases couldn't even start. That was the final straw in our decision to migrate to PlanetScale.

Virtual 6NF

One of the goals of this substack is to research ways of removing historical cruft from the way relational model is taught. One thing that puzzles me particularly is why Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is historically treated so... reverently? Lots of texts on the internet consider 6NF to be “exotic”, “academic”, “never used in practice”, etc., etc. As software developers, we can solve any problem by adding one level of abstraction, and database modeling is not an exception.

SpaceX is building a water pipeline to Starbase — but access comes with some conditions

The newest piece of infrastructure coming to Starbase, Texas, isn’t a launch mount or a booster. It’s a water pipeline, and who can hook up a tap (and on what terms) will shape the definition of “company town.” The new line, which will stretch from Brownsville to the newly incorporated city of Starbase, will replace the truck-hauled deliveries SpaceX has used to transport potable water for its employees and on-site residents.
