Batteries are cheap enough to build (using a commercial installer completely kills the economics, because you're paying five to ten times the actual cost in the US) a reasonable size personal battery bank (~100+ kwh), paired with some

Been there dude. I get it.

I'll have to give it a shot some time soon. I just can't imagine working on any of my serious projects doing a new large feature with that little room. By the time it has looked at half the code required to start planning the work

At this point, why would I trust what they say?

Trying to have it do some rework on a patch to Postgres I'm working on, it just completely shuts down. The reported issues were with privileged escalation and I was instructing it on how to fix.

Ask yourself, who seems to be the destabilizing force if you take a step back and look at the state of things objectively? There is some blame on all sides for sure, not saying it's black and white...but come on.

That is entirely a design choice if you make your DBA responsible for that type of thing. I have all my database functions version controlled and deployed by liquibase on every release (along with any other migrations that need to go out).

Heh, yeah I suppose there are still some foot guns if you don't understand how things work.

Using something like EBS for your postgres data directory is, IMO, a bad idea. If you've already made that mistake, yeah I suppose using PG dump isn't that bad. I'd much rather just do it right though. Direct attached storage

But the other option is just doing it right from the start and using a tool like pgbackrest. It's no harder to setup, and it puts you into best practices by default rather than having to work at it later. I just don't understand w

by Tostino 3mo ago
Can't recommend pgbackrest enough. It's fantastic software, and I love the work they put into doing inter-file deltas for backups (so if 8kb of a 1gb file changes, you only backup the difference). It saved my last company a ton of

It was a decent deal ~6-8 months ago. I had been using 3.1 pro almost since release, but it really is feeling old. After using other models more in the past two months though...I really can't go back to 3.1 pro, as I just have to expl

But, they are releasing the weights very shortly (or already have for some of the models discussed). For a very large company, you can purchase or rent the hardware yourself to serve the models. Or any US hyperscaler with GPUs to spare can

They were by enough officials that collectively we have voted into power. Maybe we should think about who we're handing power to. They don't seem to have a solid grasp on things.

I've read enough of your comments here to know to disregard your opinion. You just want a surveillance state.

It's a combination of both. Your data layout could be very cachable for one algorithm, but very much not so for another algorithm.

That's just embarrassing. It keeps happening though.

Lol that isn't a database server. Come on, if it has hard drives rather than (good) SSD in 2026, it's not a server you should be using for databases unless it's for something with next to no load, and you are also running you

I don't have any personal experience with kratom, other than just recently finding out an old friend is taking it for some reason or another. Your comment string did remind me a bit about a video that popped up on my YouTube feed like

Like the other commenter said, Microsoft has zero care for technological supremacy, or even just pushing out a good product. What they do care about is all the useful telemetry data and other signals that get generated inside a browser that

The license agreement they signed a few years back goes into the 2040s. Long term, you are right obviously. That is just so long term, so much can happen in that time span it's hard to even guess.

Look into Apple's ARM licensing terms. They are very generous to apple.

Decentralization doesn't matter at all if you still have single points of failure everywhere.

Ah, yeah...that's exactly the same thing. Great point. Totally changed my mind! Edit: Your edit clarifies things a bit. Eh, I got my start in software development working on an emulated Lineage 2 server ~20 years ago, and eventually bu

People get busy... I was building my startup around that time period, and didn't really play games for ~5 years. Why would I reward a company that already stole from me with another purchase?

Who the hell tries something that's been out a few hours and says "My work is not the same"?
