Same reason why people clean empty packaging and recycling, because they feel the need to _do something_

Well maybe if you loved your dishwasher, the environment and your children you would be using Cascade Platinum Plus Ultimate Eclipse Edition 2000 tabs to avoid hose gunk!?

That's what I though, focusing on message-broker as-a-service sounds bonkers. I assume there must be a business case there that is not obvious unless you are on the inside.

I'd assume they mean time to export, while 2TB is a substantial database, it's not pushing postgres limits.

I imagine they meant: evidently not, because ElephantSQL is shutting down their service.

Well put, that's in essence what I meant. If you are using AWS anyway and are accustomed to it, obviously, RDS is a good choice. But I don't want to learn what DNS and Filesystem are called in AWS-speak just to shoehorn myself int

Because RDS forces you to deal with the AWS behemouth instead if just changing your database connect parameters.

What a shame. This is "cloud" as it ought to be: be clear about the service you provide, provide it well, no lock in. Simple and matter-of-factly. I just started evaluating them about a month ago, loved their hosted postgres and a

It's an outlier in Germany as well. The municipal government in Munich tried to migrate to OSS around ~2004, but had to roll back after a couple of years. Most municipalities and government agencies would _like_ to utilize more OSS, bu

Such a tragedy.. while the Python docs are excellent, they just aren't _nice_. They always feel like Microsoft chm files from the 90ies. And their SEO is terrible, I've started to preface all python searches with 'site:python

Well it's certainly a good idea to get a better understanding of potential purchases. Unmotivated impulse purchases just clutter up your mind, your house and are bad for the environment. "If you have to ask" you're almos

The most significant occurrence is probably land loss due to tidal erosion and/or flooding.

I would be careful about "interesting conversations" in which your interlocutor starts every single response with insincere flattery and confirmation. The link you posted reads like a chat with a sociopath sycophant that's tr

"Documentary" may be a bit of a strong word. It's more of an image film / ad for Cilium and/or the ebpf foundation.

Not sure why all these responses point out that BigInt is supported in Javascript these days. The fact remains that the code in the article doesn't use BigInt and 'numbers' aren't automatically promoted.

Gmail's spam and scam filtering is pretty good, but, come to think of it those guys are also encroaching on Google's turf. Google wants to be the only one to be able to spam you.

Lots of complaints about this. While the store is called "Aldi", surely the prices are Aldi's... :)

These whimsical post are the best thing about hacker news! Thanks for posting... (I hate to call the linked page "whimsical", because in most ways, the provided information is the opposite of whimsical: clear language, deep subjec

Lovely, mirrors my feelings very closely, except I never took the time to write things down and have to frustratingly relearn every time I use R. Still love it though. And Hadley Wickham has to be the most productive and masochistic program

The entire website elaborates why. Since you quoted from the page, you must have seen that that is not the only sentence on the page AND that it links to further pages!

Nontheless the point about learning to accept downvotes is valid because "why was I downvoted?"-crybaby posts are annoying, useless and tend to also get downvoted. Just as this meta-voting-post of mine should :)

Oh, come on, you're being ridiculous. It's much more plausible for the flipper to develop consciousness and steal all the tuna in your pantry.

Thanks, helpful! Maybe tell them to at least post a quick note to the dangerous prototypes domain...

This seems dodgy... Anyone knows what's up. After a couple of years, a buspirate.com domain pops up out of nowhere and there's absolutely no mention of the change on dangerous prototypes?

The whole premise of the article is infuriating. The author claims using only lowercase _enhances_ legibility, maybe for them, but this is subjective at best, and incorrect for the general population of literate adults. Also lowercase compr

SIM cards and secure elements still use this, but it's arguably less Java than Javascript. Except that the trademark and tech (JavaCard) was owned by Sun, now Oracle. It's the basis of the claim, that gazillion devices run Java. J
