I don't think this is really a big deal. Plenty of others already maintain public OCI images of Minio (Bitnami is one example). So long as that's the case, there are options. I'm not familiar with Minio's licensing terms

It's easy to say this, but in the real world, most of the critical path is heavily-dependent on third party integrations. User auth, storage, logging, etc. Even if you're somewhat-resilient against failures (i.e. you can live with

This is the real problem. Even if you don't run anything in AWS directly, something you integrate with will. And when us-east-1 is down, it doesn't matter if those services are in other availability zones. AWS's own internal

Tangential, but I'm grateful to this article for teaching me that Postgres has "table foo" as shorthand for "select * from foo". I won't use that in code, but I'll happily use it for interactive queries.

Unfortunately I already pay for and use both, because on the $20/mo plan, you get cut off after a few hours due to usage limits. Claude resets daily after "5 hours" (I can't determine what runs the clock, but it seems to

Almost all my tooling is years (or decades) old and stable. But the code assistant LLM scene effectively didn't exist in any meaningful way until this year, and it changes almost daily. There is no stability in the tooling, and you&#x2

Ain't nobody got time to pick models and compare features. It's annoying enough having to switch from one LLM ecosystem to another all the time due to vague usage restrictions. I'm paying $20/mo to Anthropic for Claude C

The number of people replying to this thinking that this is novel is both amusing and surprising. This is a DIY power bank. You can buy professionally-made ones from Bluetti, Jackery, EcoFlow, and many other companies. Including with solar

Why? It's just a battery charger. They are basic-ass components and there are a zillion UL-listed lithium chargers that are perfectly safe and in common use. There a many problems with this article, but the fact that it includes a batt

If you want that, just buy a Bluetti or Jackery. You can DIY a system like that in the article, using better and/or cheaper components as needed for your use case.

This can be done safely if you know how to compute the correct wire gauge for the distance, and don't overload the circuit. You can easily and safely run 15A via a proper-gauge extension cord from a 3kW inverter to a fridge or any numb

There's a reason life is carbon-based, and it's not random. It's the only element that works, due to abundance; ability to form many bonds; bonds that are just durable enough but not too durable. There's plenty of sci-fi

Everything you're quoting is from one aggrieved person, who clearly felt slighted, and who left out a whole lot of context in their own post. The article above is a lot more reasoned, less emotional, and seems completely reasonable to

Needs (2000) really. This contrived test is using tiny VPSes (even the "big" machine is tiny), slow network-mounted DB storage, nothing like a production stack that a real API server would use. Bespoke simple profiling mechanism.

Do you think Musk is going to build a secret volcano lair and stockpile nuclear warheads? The entire US military arsenal is constructed by corporations, doing far more dangerous things than Musk has any access to.

What do we care what happens in a few generations? We'll all be dead, and the people alive will probably have universal translators implanted in their brains at birth. We absolutely won't need a "signal" to translate on

It's not a problem with anything. Docker can be misused like anything else. It's a massive net win for security and maintainability because it completely eliminates barriers to updating software.

This is the primary reason that I'm closer than I've ever been to deleting my Facebook account. I stopped using it in any meaningful way over a decade ago. I think I've posted about six times in the past decade. But I did sti

I was about 180lbs by the end of highschool, and I was one of the fattest kids in my class. Not to the point that I was given fat kid nicknames or openly mocked, but I was almost always the fattest kid in any given group. Picked last for te

Slice is a delivery platform that focuses on mom-and-pop pizza places. At least when I was involved years ago, they only charged a flat $1/order fee. They helped stores get their menus into the system, and then stores did their own del

I find it hard to believe that atmospheric lead levels were higher in the ancient Roman Empire than since the Industrial Revolution. The amount of lead mined and smelted now is vastly more than it was then. Regardless of current safety meas
