counterpoint, if the runtime itself (nodejs) has a critical issue, you haven't updated for years, you're on an end-of-life version, and you cannot upgrade because you have dependencies that do not support the new version of the ru

Lower power consumption on a desktop monitor is an interesting technical challenge but I do wonder “Cui bono?” - obviously I’d want my gaming machine to consume less power but I’m not sure I’ve ever considered mouse-idle monitor-on power co

If the majority of users use the system wrong, it's the system that's wrong, not the users.

The article does mention Trump by name and additionally provides anecdote and data showing this trend is not new. Some irony here, re: reading comprehension.

Oh I believe in it. I can't experience it, and yet I believe completely. Yes, my argument is stronger than one who thinks the moon is a bowl of fire, but epistemology, science itself, unfortunately confirms that I do not know. My poi

A good read. I only wish I had the intellectual prowess to have something to add. I will say, once you really digest it, it becomes impossible to look at the crescent moon at night and not immediately triangulate the position of the sun, ev

If you even remotely agree that Airbnb is a simply a clone of Craigslist, I think it’s perfectly sane to absolutely disregard every other opinion you have on running an organization. Absurd thing to imply, and especially absurd that it’s be

Oh I will. My boy just turned 4, so he’s a little young for video games right now. Maybe 5 or 6? But we played spaceships in the park all evening. Looking forward to gaming age for sure!

Unbelievable! Watched with my 4 year old, he was full of questions about why the ocean was turning to nighttime, what satellites are, about going to another planet, about the earth being so blue and if we “ever even knew that before”. Just

Not trying to be snarky, but doesn't this mental model effectively allow you to ignore any/all things otherwise intelligent people have to say, simply because you disagree? If I met Einstein, and he had opinions about how to cook

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that - I’ve been so far in MySQL/Vitess land for so long, I haven’t used Postgres in several years. That’s disappointing!

Well at the time (and this is still largely true), people were very insistent on ACID compliance in databases. Obviously this made sense of many applications, but became a bottleneck at huge scale. Being able to be eventually consistent bec

I haven’t used Kafka since the change to remove zookeeper, it’s likely they’re more or less on par now. Redis gets a win because most shops already have Redis, it’s already trusted and installed, just waiting for its first XADD.

What a great post. Humble and honest and simple and focused on an issue most developers think is so simple (“why not just vibe code SQL?”, “whatever, just scale up the RDS instance”). Compliments aside, where this article stops is where thi

Kafka's ability to ingest the firehose and present it as a throttle-able consumable to many different applications is great. If you're thinking "just use a database", it's worth noting that SQL databases are _not we

In terms of cost, from cheapest to most expensive: 1. Spot with autoscaling to adjust to demand and a savings plan that covers the ~75th percentile scale 2. On-demand with RIs (RIs will definitely die some day) 3. On-demand with savings-pla

When I was ~14 I open sourced a script to autoconfigure X11's xrandr. It was pretty lousy, had several bugs. I mentioned it on a KDE mailing list and a KDE core contributor told me it was embarrassing code and to kill myself. I took it

Solar, self-driving, tax policy, software engineering, cryptocurrency, the list goes on and on. You can have 100,000 successes and 1 failure and someone will say "It just doesn't work!".

I think it takes a lot of temerity and hubris to look at a 2B raise and assume it's all hype. A16Z has certainly had some misses, but one assumes there actually is some product they're showing behind closed doors that makes this

If the full summary of your recommendation on problems like private property and weather prediction is “you should have voted for my team”, youre not actually participating in solving the issue. Did we understaff? Did we cause alarm fatigue

There are times you can politicize an issue. A flood that killed a bunch of young kids at a summer camp is not one of them. Articles like this do more harm than good. Either you already believe climate change is an issue and this changes no

Well to be fair the new civic hybrid is a really fantastic car at a great price and exactly what most car buyers need. And additionally their model Y competitor the Passport is very nice and well priced. I’d consider Honda a bit of an outli

Excited to see how the software support for UDNA1 works out. Very hopeful we'll see some real competition to Nvidia soon in the datacenter. Unfortunately I think the risk is quite high: if AMD burns developers again with poor drivers a

The book “the lion in the living room” documents P-22 and LAs love for the cat very well, it’s a great read and I recommend it. As much as I’m happy about this I find myself skeptical that wildlife will learn to use it. Do animals walk alon

In general just avoiding mixed types of load. Predictable, audited application queries in a user request shouldn’t be mixed with potentially extremely expensive long running analytics queries. Different replica sets isolates customers from

Cheap solution, sure, add an index. But you're asking an OLAP question question of an OLTP system. Questions like that are best asked at least of an out-of-production read replica or better an analytics db.

Super impressive looking demo, works well on my older iphone. As an only-dabbling-hobbiest game developer who lacks a lot of 3d programming knowledge, the only feedback I can offer is you might perhaps define what "Gaussian Splatting&q

Wish this was written by a journalist who could ask themselves "what would the reader want to know?". A repoed car? A beef between buyer and seller? What was going on? The buyer apparently got the number of the seller - how did th
