There's also scenarios like games that depended on GameSpy being forced out into the cold. Battle for Middle Earth 2 is a good example of this. The LOTR rights expiring isn't what got them. It was another provider going away in a

I don't think forcing a person or business to divulge their intellectual property, simply because they no longer wish to provide downstream products or services, is reasonable. That said, as a consumer I really don't like when som

When used properly, SQLite is effectively an in-process method invoke. If the only remaining things in the way are your runtime, kernel, file system and a local NVMe storage device, you may find it massively outperforms hosted alternatives.

I eat the cost right now. The fee schedule is simple: Every work item is assigned a difficulty level by the business + in-house dev team. That is multiplied by a base fee and that establishes the bounty for the item. I get paid this amount

Version control might not be a big deal if you are all-in on the database. Stored procedures are easiest to version by simply defining multiple variants and then incrementally moving the callers in the direction you want. The durability com

I think we could eventually get to a point where $1000/m+ consumption would be considered a bargain. I currently pay ~$150/m in tokens to cover my 1099 work. If I had to pay $1000 for those same tokens each month, I would still be

The correct solution here is colocation of AI workloads with the power plants and switch yards. No one is going to complain about site expansion at a location that is already running 3gw of generating units. You probably wouldn't even

Deploying SQL changes is actually trivial if you are using SQLite. I agree in a hosted+shared SQL scenario you have to be a little bit more careful with all of this. Arguably, you should have a separate schema management phase in these case

This one is a bit more ridiculous than the others. You can get something like a Tascam DR-07XP for $150 and it does 32bit float format with essentially unlimited dynamic range. I will never need to buy another field mic.

I think using speed to describe the rate of progress in software development is where the frustration comes from. Software isn't a velocity thing. It's a space thing. It's memory. Information in some media. You can transfer a
