Don't you reboot servers to get kernel security updates? I usually have unattended upgrades with the option to reboot during the night if necessary

Incus is great. I've been trying to revive an unmaintained ansible collection to manage incus resources https://github.com/sbstp/ansible-collection-incus

I think Kraken has been selected to redistribute the funds, but not sure if it has happened yet. These things take time, I think Mt. Gox took like a decade to be distributed

CGI is a terrible company known for going over budget and under delivering on a ton of projects. Not that many companies bidding on large government contracts unfortunately

This article has very little useful information...

There's nothing novel about optimizing queries, sharding and using read replicas.

Assuming they ever manage to turn a profit...

Tried to play dota 2 on Linux, it has a bad memory leak that made the whole system hang after an hour or two. Plus it seems to get worse fps on Vulcan, but I read that it might just be a bad implementation in my card (6650 xt)

Using WebKit (even JavaScriptCore) and working with Apple wouldn't be the worst thing to my eyes as a Firefox/FOSS user. Duopoly isn't great but it's better than a monopoly.

Project 2025 strongly opposes everything good in this world.

RabbitMQ next?

I've been disappointed by Nats. Core Nats is good and works well, but if you need stronger delivery guarantees you need to use Jetstream which has a lot of quirks, for instance it does not integrate well with the permission system in Core Nats. Their client SDKs are very buggy and unreliable. I've used the Python, Rust and Go ones, only the Go one worked as expected. I would recommend using rabbitmq, Kafka or redpanda instead of Nats.

yuck.

There seems to be a few typos in the article, unless I don't understand what's going on.

In step 1, the register uses the source path 'github-events' but the payload is using 'github-pushes'.

In step 3 it says filter_query passes since payload->>'ref' is 'refs/heads/main' but we never see that filter being inserted in the service, the only filter we see is type IN (\'PushEvent\', \'PullRequestEvent\').

Was the article edited midway through and missed some pieces?

Most control planes are not free anymore, they cost like 70$/mo on AWS & GCP. Used to be a while back.

I'm not a TCL user, but from the description of wduquette is sounds similar to Python's zipapp

Even HTTP/2 seems to have been rushed[1]. Chrome has removed support for server push. Maybe more thought should be put into these protocols instead of just rebranding whatever Google is trying to impose on us.

I feel like there's a lot of potential between Go and Cosmopolitan libc. Go itself does not use libc much, as shown in the blog, but some great libraries like SQLite3 need it (unless you use https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite).

The ability to build a single static binary that works on Linux, Mac and Windows using Go would be life changing for the internal tools I develop at work.

Chip design & manufacturing is probably the closest thing we have to witchcraft as a species.

Maybe -march=native gives it an edge as it compiles for this exact CPU model whereas numpy is compiled for a more generic (older) x86-64. -march=native would probably get v4 on a Ryzen CPU where numpy is probably targeting v1 or v2.

Envoy is definitely a powerful & useful tool, we use external auth to centralize our authentication, I just dislike editing large yaml documents with 10 levels of indentation.

Caddy is amazingly simple to setup. Automatic HTTPS is a killer feature.

I have to use Envoy at work for gRPC services and I want to quit the industry every time I have to edit their YAML/protobuf monstrosity of a config system.

How does jet compare to sqlboiler? I've been using sqlboiler quite successfully on a work project.

I generate queries like this in a paging library I wrote at work, I did not use the tuple comparison because sometimes the sorting order is different between fields, each field in the tuple comparison would need a different operator, such as

WHERE Posts.CreateAt > ?1 OR (Posts.CreateAt = ?1 AND Posts.Id < ?2) ORDER BY Posts.CreateAt ASC, Posts.Id DESC

I now wonder if it might be possible to use a negation operator to invert the sorting order, like:

(Posts.Id, -Posts.CreateAt) < (?1, ?2) ORDER BY Posts.CreateAt ASC, Posts.ID DESC

and keep the performance improvement.

It's a bit weird that bcachefs is in the kernel, from what I understand there's still a lot of work to do on it. Would be nice to see more corporate sponsorship behind it, it's quite promising. Still not confident using it over ZFS.

The biggest issue with postgREST for me is that it doesn't support transactions well. You can't two 2 insert and keep a consistent state if one fails. That alone is a deal breaker.

Thanks, that clears it up!

Got that from the context but not really how it ties with the riot act.

I don't get the riot act part, what does that mean exactly?

I've often thought that a database that could automatically detect slow queries and create the necessary indexes would be neat. You run a load test on your application, which in turns calls the database and you collect all the queries it makes. Then the database automatically adjusts itself.

Why is Cockroach adding READ COMMITTED? Is using a lower level of isolation better for performance or just reduces the amount of serialization errors and retries that need to be done?
