Let’s start with the fact that you’re talking to an HTTP api… Even if S3 had web3.0 inodes, the querying semantics would not make sense. It’s a higher level API, because you don’t deal with blocks of magnetic storage and binary buffers. Of

I've also been using a Ryzen7 mini-pc, it spins up the fans when maxes out, but doesn't sound or behave any different than any laptop, except its a box. It's actually very quiet most of the time, until I have to process a pho

Do you also believe that monopolies are great, by any chance?

I just don't understand why everyone loves f-string so much . I do understand they might be better than + op? Perhaps. I've always liked .format method. You separate your template from your input data, and you can choose when the

Yeah, I am getting prompted to subscribe and pay to even participte. Perhaps it's part of the larger theme of capitalism and monetization consuming all parts of human existence, including those that come from a purely artistic or commu

One of my all time favorite sites on the interenet, I am glad there is an archive version. IRC and being ASCII only had their benefits. These days, Discord displacing IRC, for most people who even have PCs, there is a much different vibe of

I have heard of LLMs, and understand most everything posted on HN, except quantum computing stuff.

That gave me an idea, here is what I got from Copilot: You have set up your system to run different AI models and compare their performance using a text editor. You are using Mixtral-8x7, a high-quality open-source model developed by Mistra

I have 20 years of software development experience, and I couldn’t understand anything you said. Is there a dictionary for this new lingo, or am I just too mid?

Of course you can run half a CPU at home. With Ubuntu LXD, you can easily run actual, hardware 50% cpu time, or .5 priority container. Why wouldn't you be able to have complete control over what "microscale" tasks you run on

Right, the local internet can always be an issue too. I think you have a good example of something with high uptime requirements. I get that, but I was kind of wondering specifically why Postgres's downtime would have any significant i

I think I understand the use case, and effectively you're sharding the data with SQLite. This approach is applicable with multiple databases/datastores. However, would you really change your approach if PostgreSQL could be upgrade

I’d be pretty delighted. I’m paid for getting projects done, not for keeping hold on some copyrighted code. I want all my code to be open sourced, and reused.

I wouldn’t be so harsh, as to call it gross, but I also much prefer Python, because Ruby reminds me of Perl. It feels clever, but not in a way that I expect to shorten its BNF. It still bugs me a bit, that ruby has pascals ‘end’, and Python

If it's the worst, how is it not the only language in this category? How do you rank C, Perl, JavaScript, PHP, ... parallelism compared to execution pool + futures here? The absolute MAX WORST?

What “much research” are you talking about? The amusing part is that the article calls out two groups of people into which your advice falls. It’s not that much code, it’s about 4 lines of code, creating a “pool” and calling a wait on futur

I wonder, how many engineers with hands on experience on the PowerPC to intel transition are still around? I suspect Apple is benefitting from software layers and testing infrastructure, rather than institutional knowledge in this ARM trans

Should anything trial be considered "frugal"? The moment you run out of free tokens, you have to shut down or actually get frugal, which is the difficult part... Would you ever include "Photoshop trial" in a list of &quo

Yes, but 50% of the projects the parent poster sees, and 90% of the projects that I see, do not require any of that.

If this this just Lars fault, and the band is not tight, how do you explain the consistency of the delay each time the riff is played? How likely do you think this is, statistically speaking?

I've never thought UUIDv1 was useful in any virtualized context, and I hope it should be obvious, but maybe it's worth stating in the UUID generation docs. It is already explained somewhat well what the versions are in Python docs

If you're writing your processing code, you can also write it with capability to stop and resume more efficiently.

What you’re describing sounds like it fits perfectly into PostGiS. You can have tables and you can normalize your geospatial data. With SQL, and temporary tables, you can build absolutely any analytics. I worked in a GIS Lab with an ESRI en
