yes the easy setup with crdb is really attractive but then you realize that they hide a few very important features behind the paid option. No incremental backups and no partitions (I think of any kind...). Those are some big features to lo

yeah but I don't think that we can just trust that when people say this. They are invested into these single node databases for 10+ years probably. They are not going to tell you: Hey yeah, if you architect your app differently you cou

I really wonder about the justification for using MySQL/Postgres sometimes. How is it not simply superior in almost every way to start with ScyllaDB which is faster in every way and the only downside I can see is that you have a very l

I think it only seems worse from Google because their product shutdowns don't seem to be tied to financials and if that isn't the case then it makes them unpredictable to us as consumers. Let's remember that Google offers a l

Personally I don't think that social media will ever fall out of fashion because it's a core human biological need. All Facebook has to do is to keep up with the latest trend, whatever that may be. Maybe people will rather livecha

I dont see how it matters, this is for the usecase that there is already an established and verified account with e.g Facebook. Many betting or crypto sites do passport and video verifications, Facebook can do the same. Then all the child h

it's not any harder than any website login. The only thing is that this isn't available as a simple service to normal people, maybe this is a feature Facebook should offer to have more value: your kids can sign in via biometrics o

Yes, this requires setting up a gpu server. Very expensive and the whole process involves a lot of steps. It would have to be far better than something like barebibes Lucene but I see no proof of concept.

It reminds me of the Trump thing, it seems people really lose all rationality when they are faced with a man who publically doesn't care and does whatever he wants and is successful at it. I wonder if we will one day have a psychologic

When Chrome launched, it only launched with ~2-3% market share in the first week compared to Firefox. Everyone thought that Chrome wasn't that good and Firefox would be fine. However I knew on day one that Firefox was in serious troubl

If sentryio has a self hosted version and logflare has one too, why would I pick logflare? Are there any differences? I tried sentryio and it's really convenient, at least the hosted version.

more recent customers/users/accounts probably do more actions than very old accounts though, how is that not also eventually creating uneven shards?

it seems they make enough money without us as customers, to me it's weird as well.

I think we all simply want full control over whether we go into the office or not, on daily basis. I am not fully home office either but ultimately home office is superior because you have more control over your life.

I may like my coworkers just fine but there are a thousand other reasons why being in the office or physically around them is not so fun. Smelling the smokers/smoke sometimes for hours when someone leaves the smoker room door open or t

I think Rust needs to show me a decision tree for why something on the lefthand side of a function call ends up being whatever vscode + lsp shows me. Because the compiler and rust-analyzer are going through various traits and auto-traits to

my biggest problem with it is that it doesn't seem to understand its own knowledge. If you talk to it for a while and you go back and forth on a coding problem it will often suddenly start using wrong syntax that doesn't exist. Ev

imo they shouldn't be used as usernames either. What if I have an accident and burn my fingertips off? Or even worse, I have a facial injury that ruins the username?

yeah I think maybe the way to solve this is to add some kind of API documentation that explicitly mentions that phone lookups aren't possible. ChatGPT will parse it eventually...

interesting and if you told it your name/email it could also connect the dots and badmouth you to others or perhaps even purposefully spread false information about you or your business or put your business into a more negative light t

oh I care, it's just that I think the ideal font is the one you're used to and so you should simply pick the OS default everywhere. Plus those fonts are pretty good anyway so why not.

Unfortunately? This is the best kind of arms race, the one where we race towards technology that is ultimately going to help all of humanity.

I think we should shame people for that: A nation is like a big family. You're essentially saying that you don't think that you should be able to talk to your own family in their language.

depending on how advanced this AI will be, it could learn from a few samples and the API docs, possibly itself designed to be optimally consumed by AI. If I knew that AI would consume my custom programming language docs then I would make su

That's a very positive way to look at it: Use the AI for your own benefit to generate a summary but the full information is hidden behind a signin/paywall. Of course whether this ends up being better for humanity is the question.

The danger I see is that people will give a lot of confidence to some rare, yet terrible answers and they'll never learn to double check the info because "eh, it's not going to be wrong this time, it was right the last 254 ti
