jank is another one

Isn't this a losing battle? Since the goal post keeps moving as new LLM comes out each month.

I feel any LLM discussion without mentioning concrete tooling choices are unproductive. Toolings are evolving so fast, many statements that were accurate two months ago are simply wrong today.

I wonder if it's the best outcome? The contributor doesn't seem to have a bad intention, could his energy be redirected more constructively? E.g. encouraging him to split up the PR, make a design proposal etc.

With pocket sunsetting, I have been searching for alternatives lately. After a few rounds of search, I can't convince myself to use specialized bookmarks tool over Notion / Obsidian. I wonder what other people feel?

Although currently Bitwarden Passkey is completely broken on Android.

I switched to other providers because of this.

I feel lots of the work described in the article can be automated by kops, probably in a much better way, especially when it comes to day 2 operations.

I wonder what is the motivation behind manually spinning up a cluster instead of going with more established tooling?

The fact that it requires slowly changing over years is a sign of getting stuck no? We can theoretically slowly migrate anything. But when effort > X, we consider it being stuck.

The salary range seems to be quite wide: $10K - $100K? Is it location based?

I use obligator with ephemeral storage, no db, 100% code driven setup.

In my opinion this is the simplist option.

I get why people hate new things in car as they often don't improve driving experience.

But smart tv? I think they genuinely improved my experience. I can pretty much watch any show anytime using my phone as the controller now, I don't see how it's possible with old TV?

They did perform a Twitter scale simulation, check out: https://blog.redplanetlabs.com/2023/08/15/how-we-reduced-the...

I fail to see this as a marketing promotion though, it doesn't seem to have much bias.

Though I do agree calling distributed SQL as key value store inaccurate and maybe a bit inappropriate.

Hmm, I wonder what will be a good performance metric for a non profit entity CEO? DAU?

I think it's partly because the audiences are often not familiar with those statistics details either.

Most people hates nuances when reading data report.

Long time firefox user, absolutely love it. My only grudge is that on Android some tab will just randomly go black and blank. This problem has been there for at least 1 year, I think it has something to do with os memory collection but I can't prove anything.

And I still use chrome, because of the Chromecast.

Don't know if https://inertiajs.com can be classified as unpopular. but I think it's one of the best web solution combining the best of the both worlds ssr and spa.

I don't know about your org but in many companies changing from tech lead (a role) to IC (another role) isn't considered as demotion. I personally love being IC.

But I understand you might not want to be IC again, so I think you know what to do ;)

Note: still cheaper than similar drugs in the US.

I couldn't prove that mine was defective, I was more convinced that mine was working as it was designed, which is inherently dangerous.

I sold my onewheel pint a few years back only after 200 miles because of a few uncontrollable crashes and nobody believed me that this is a dangerous product.

I warned the next buyer but he still bought it, just like me before crashes.

But I did convince him to join the Onewheel Crash Club Facebook group. For everyone who is interested to know how dangerous this is, check that page out.

Neither Litestream and LiteFS meet my SQL needs: Litestream is a single writer system, LiteFS has data consistency risk. I can't justify replacing Postgresql for them.

I do understand those tools expanded the use cases of sqlite a lot and they are pretty cool in how they pulled it off. But I'm surprised Fly's investing here; feels like it tarnishes their infra provider rep.

If they do want to continue this investment, maybe investing in things like rqlite will be more appropriate for an infra shop.

Hmm, when I search racket compilation, the top option is to compile to bytecode. Since the term "bytecode" is used, I thought that was different from Chez's machine code generation?

I am under the impression that Racket using Chez to implement the interpreter instead of compiler. Is this the case?

Distrust is building for Fly. Their articles ooze arrogance, whether it's hyping up their "unique" hiring methods or their "managed" Postgres service. They even gloss over serious flaws like data loss in LiteFS. Their latest article is another red flag for me. Started off intriguing, but now, I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.

In all those SSR tools, my favorite is inertial.js, I think it combines the best of the both worlds. I am not sure why inertial wasn't getting more popularity though, anyone know why?

Another significant advantage of Kratos is that it's written in Golang, so it takes little to none resources for simple use cases.

Also my experience with Keycloak in the past was that you can't do zero downtime deployment, or true configuration as code.

I guess it all boils down to whether they are willing to use user generated content for profit without misaligning the interests for users.

I guess they can't and they won't unless they become a NGO.

Do you have some examples of the smart one that realize it early and diversify successfully?

Conclusion aside, I enjoy reading research finding in this format - straight to evidence, short.
