None of that is an issue depending on what your software actually does. Now sure if you're doing something like logging, or you're cloudflare, or meta or some shit then yeah it's not going to cut it.

Generally I target enterprise b2b customers, they use the application from 9-5 generally. Weekly scheduled downtime is not the end of the world.

If it doesn't boot properly, which has never happened, I build a new server - takes 10 minutes max. Litestream keeps database relatively fresh, so it gets pulled on boot. Floating IP points at new server. We do this in dev regularly, the only difference in prod is a few variables.

Even if your target is higher uptime or bigger scale, you can go far further than you think on sqlite - it's multitudes of magnitude quicker than postgres for most general use cases.

Most software projects go nowhere. YAGNI. Build something valuable and people will put up with bullshit for a while.

You move to postgres at that point. Though if you can't scale to $1marr with sqllite then ehhh

Yeah it blocks for the 0.001ms it takes for 99.99% of queries to come back. Or you can enable WAL and allow readers to read at the same time as somebody is writing.

AI trains AI already, agents are happy to spin up real training pipelines for deep learning or regression models or whatever you want right? I guess the advantage to your project is that it provides a framework to allow the agent to access extra compute?

By politicizing games, ruining them with their agenda, and in a hundred other ways.

Steam isn't a monopoly, it's just a good service. Why would I use a shittier one created by, generally, extremely greedy and woke corporations?

Valve have shown themselves to be reasonably trustworthy unlike say, Sony and Microsoft. If there are no disks then there is no point in consoles in my view, they're just worse computers.

I will no longer buy playstations starting now

Britain doesn't need a European court to grant human rights to its own citizens. You know that the human rights act is not preventing government crackdowns on speech and privacy, and you will also know that the intention is to replace it with a human rights bill of our own.

The current act is being used by lawyers and judges to force migration on a country which never voted for it.

Now would we trust the clearly compromised political class we currently have to implement it? Probably not.

It’s webscale

The only relevant question is, how much did it cost?

Architecture is one of the easiest things in programming frankly.

Developers have been lacking taste for decades anyway, like all of those kubernetes clusters built out for companies that could run on a 50 euro a month dedicated server at hetzner.

Microslopinator strikes again

Too much vibe coding

Agree

I thought you like worked there but with the additional context that you never did, yeah cringe

If you manage to build kubernetes again I recommend you burn it down and start again.

They’re great pass-me downs. The rubber feet issue was one I encountered too, also got some sticky keys due to beer!

Maybe it's more like how they used to wrap fish and chips in newspaper

I have 3 FilcoTKL's, 2 blues and one brown with ninja key caps. They started to get quite expensive for what they were.

I use an IBM model M today with a Model H controller replacement.

Adobe is genuinely one of the shittiest companies on the planet.

HN does a lot of things that it doesn't really tell the user it's doing, like this which has annoyed me in the past.

Apparently what comes after git is git

More likely the llm misinterpreted something and hallucinated an error. Just yesterday Claude code hallucinated itself an infinite loop.

Typical microsoft

The reason we buy macbooks is because they aren't touchscreens.

That would make British people less poor for once so they decided against it. Managed economic decline and mass immigration go hand in hand with globalism and ‘global warming’ extremists.

The guardian would say that to be fair
