Hmm... I'm a big fan of a lot of the things that the tokio project has built and a happy user of axum. I'm not sure that projects like Topcoat and something like their ORM is a great direction for the project, and worry that they

Almost everything further than a few years in the future and a few predicted pangea events appear to be data errors.

> open source requires humans to volunteer their time Your idealistic of open source may require that, but in practice a huge part of open source is commercial and a large chunk of that is low on collaboration (across vendor boundaries).

Yeah, I'm sure they've spent a significant time of their whole engineering department in the 13 years since the blog post on this!

I think the point is that while it does act as negative acceleration there isn't a causal relationship with the actual speed of the car, which is mainly related to how far the gas pedal is pressed.

Postgres 19, which is about to be released is adding support for SQL/PGQ.

I can tell you from quotes that I've seen, that compared to the 2018 prices listed on the page, end-of-2022 pricing was slightly up per core. We were already well on our way of dumping Neo4J due to performance/operational/arc

Most graph databases only offer an advantage in query language, as it allows for more ergonomic graph traversal compared to e.g. recursive CTEs in SQL. However with SQL/PGQ, the same query ergonomics are coming to traditional databases

In a situation like this, induced demand could "easily" (on a technical, not a political sustainable level) be combated by shifting subsidies from car -> public transport. Induced demand won't be taken up as readily if the

It's interesting how OpenAI at the same time pioneered chat as primary interface for LLMs (+ have one of their strongest brands and defensibility for the common user there) and also seemingly wanting to steer away from it in so many wa

This is honestly such a great direction (or at least hedge) for Mistral. They are already a great fit for EU companies, and are establishing a good relationship with them. If they can stand up a robotics software platform without US or Chin

It very much depends on what kind of system you are building, as each of them have different input/output modalities, each combination of them allowing for different attacks. If you are building a generic agent that can theoretically c

Prompt injections are a whole class of vulnerabilities, and I would say there is generally a pretty good idea of how to mitigate them to be impactful. However in many cases those mitigations are not implemented (in the strictness that they

> I mean Elm has removed features breaking compat To be fair, Elm hasn't made it to 1.0 (yet). That's where languages should make breaking changes before being stuck with the flaws forever.

I've head the displeasure of working with more than one Elm zealot in the past, and also allowed a service to make it into production (which was a huge disaster). Due to that, I know a lot more about Elm than I'd like to. I think

The project was dead. The previous release was 7 years ago, where it stopped because the creator (same as author of this announcement) stopped maintaining it and since the community hasn't progress beyond a BDFL-model that's where

HEPA-filter air purifier and a robot vacuum that is scheduled to run while your are not in the apartment (to reduce baseline dust) are probably the most simple/cost-effective measures.

That is not a homebrew sytax that Postgres came up with themselves. It's SQL/PGQ, which was derived from the Cypher language for Neo4J and now is part of the SQL standard.

I think it makes more sense if it's not viewed under the aspect of trying to be maximally productive in its output. If you look at it over they years, they've also tried to do a share of public outreach / education (though I&

I don't have the historic numbers at hand, but I would assume that for each of those categories this is a similar proportional increase, so it's similarly notable to mention the increase in spending on humanoid robots.

That's just your typical list that makes up the Linux foundation. It might not be the idealistic flavour of open source you prefer, but it's the flavour of open source that's actively in use in most tech companies, and that a

There are ~25k total different MTG cards. Who cares if even 1k of them are for collabs (as long as they don't contain broken cards that end up in tournament play)?
