I think I did a poor job of explaining. SQLite is dealing with cached filesystem blocks here, and has nothing to do with their query engine. They aren't migrating their query engine to SQLite, they're migrating their sparse fil

I simply use SQLite for this. You can store the cache blocks in the SQLite database as blobs. One file, no sparse files. I don't think the "sparse file with separate metadata" approach is necessary here, and sparse files ha

Being specific: AWS load balancers use a 60 second DNS TTL. I think the burden of proof is on TFA to explain why AWS is following an "urban legend" (to use TFA's words). I'm not convinced by what is written here. This se

Not one of the downvoters, but I'd guess it's because this is only true with HATEOAS which is the part that 99% of teams ignore when implementing "REST" APIs. The downvoters may not have even known that's what you w

A lot of negative responses so I'll provide my own personal corroborating anecdote. I am intending to replace my low-code solutions with AI-written code this year. I have two small internal CRUD apps using Budibase. It was a nice dream

Reviewing is the easier task: it only has to point me in the right direction. It's also easy to ignore incorrect review suggestions.

LLMs are great at reviewing. This is not stupid at all if it's what you want; you can still derive benefit from LLMs this way. I like to have them review at the design level where I write a spec document, and the LLM reviews and advise

Steel-manning the idea, perhaps they would ship object files (.o/.a) and the apt-get equivalent would link the system? I believe this arrangement was common in the days before dynamic linking. You don't have to redownload everythi

My hobby language[1] also has no reference semantics, very similar to Herd. I think this is a really interesting point in the design space. A lot of complexity goes away when it's only values, and there are real languages like classic

My feedback: it seems like this tool isn't really like aws-nuke, but the copy keeps comparing it to aws-nuke, extending further into this HN post. aws-nuke doesn't need delete permissions (you just can't do the "delete&q

EC2 instances can hibernate, too. You stop paying for the instance while it's hibernated; you pay the EBS storage cost only. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Hibernat...

XFCE is X11-only, isn't it? Wayland support is still in development/experimental. I personally use XFCE with X11 to this day.

Can you explain tmux's contribution here? I'm confused why this process wouldn't work just the same if CC directly executed the program rather than involving tmux. Are you just using tmux to trick the program under test into

My website's contact form has a reCAPTCHA and it still gets spam sent through it (though vastly less). They pass the reCAPTCHA somehow. My contact form literally only emails me and they still do it.

I'm not sure any humans were behind the email at all (i.e. "do that yourself"). This seems to be some bizarre experiment where someone has strapped an LLM to an email client and let it go nuts. Even being optimistic, it'

This hasn't mattered in 20 years for me personally, but in 2003 I killed connectivity to a bunch of Siemens 505-CP2572 PLC ethernet cards by switching a hub from 10Mbps to 100Mbps mode. The button was right there, and even back then I

I think OP is making two separate but related points, a general point and a specific point. Both involve guessing something that the error-handling code, on the spot, might not know. 1. When I personally see database timeouts at work it&#x2

Google allows minified extensions and doesn't require you to provide the original unminified source. I've never provided Google the real source code to my extension and they rubber-stamp every release. The Chrome Web Store is th

Both Let's Encrypt and 3-year certificates were introduced in 2015. We had 5+ year certificates before that. At the time you'd buy the longest certificate possible and forget about it--that's what I did. In 2013 I bought a 5-

OP means it's the only one that renders at all . It could be wrong but the other two are just missing-glyph boxes which are definitely wrong. Those code points appear unusable as a practical matter.
