I was reading this https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/45b4b689-0e78-4d30-a5f9-1a39d01ab2b7@ww-it.cn it is worth to share

GB18030 (China’s mandatory standard) uses 2 bytes per Chinese character vs. UTF-8’s 3—saving 33% storage. Legacy apps rely on it; new systems gain efficiency. UTF-8 rules globally, but regional mandates matter.

@PeterLawrey have you tried junie from jetbrains ? I wonder how it is compared to codex

@sdeleuze any chance of watching them on YouTube?

Working with a slow system is a huge problem, I forgot what was I planning to do 😊

@happyborg is this decentralized web ? or will it work without installing extras ? on firefox or chrome ?

@cinnamon look like the redirect links are dead

#jetbrains junie is really good compared to others. AI for developers finally 🤓

@mray good thing you share this in fediverse toot, now everybody knows your high quality of comments and how valuable they are when compiled 😬

This code is coming from famous @venkats from his talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5Q7TC5u5Co

What is the output of below #java code
```java
int[] factor = new int[] { 2 };
var numbers = List.of(1, 2, 3);

var stream = numbers.stream()
.map(number -> number * factor[0]);
factor[0] = 0;
stream.forEach(System.out::print);
```

@aral thanks for sharing never heard these before

@happyborg which one do you suggest ?

@lukas I manage to make a benchmark page on GitHub

can't say it's best on the market but I can say we can run this every week and update those numbers

I am thinking to connect ec2 or oci to it what do you think ?

@beardymcnerd we can throw away our #windbg cheat sheet 🤓

@lukas hey, I just saw https://pganalyze.com/blog/postgres-18-async-io very nice numbers I like it

I was also wondering, do you know any site shows #postgresql benchmark results version by version since pg 10, and of course with latest beta 18 and alpha 19 ? if exists 🤓

This is going to sound strange, but does anyone have a good code editor with git support for the iPad?
