I noticed this SQLite query averaging ~90ms event though package_name is the PK, the table has ~865k rows and is ~166MB. Param is a prefix pattern like 'duck%'.
Any guesses why it was still that slow?

Madison Systems will be discussing a paper on "Gray Failure", subtle underlying faults rather than obvious fail-stop failures.
If you've seen this in production, reply! I'd love to bring real examples into the conversation.
Excited to announce I'm switching teams at Supabase. Going to be a SWE on the storage team. If you have any feedback on the product my DMs are open 🫡
It's IP based and probably bots but I don't discriminate I welcome all humans and bots to my site :)

Weekend goal is to get secure, zero-touch device provisioning working in my homelab.
I used AI to contribute to an OS project, mise, and I would lying if I said I fully understood the code it generated. I decided to write about my experience. Open source is getting flooded with AI slop, I hope this shows a better way to contribute.

Reminds me of this quote:
