If you are happy with VSCode you probably aren't doing the things Jetbrains IDEs excel at. That said: Language support - specifically Java and Kotlin are absolutely top tier. CLion is easily the best Rust IDE also. Automated refactorin

PostgreSQL enums feel like a bit of a hack in general. I end up using an "enum table" approach in many cases as joining against a very small table has negligible performance impact in all but the most performance sensitive databas

That gives me some faith, I hope everyone is able to come together to make it happen.

A close to impossible task, if anyone can do it's probably Heikki though. Unfortunately I expect this to go the way of zheap et al. Fundamental design changes like this have just had such a rough time of succeeding thus far. I think fo

The GDPR itself is purposefully vague but is generally interpreted favouring the user so I would err on the side of it being revocation. We have always treated this way in SaaS startups I have worked at and I don't imagine you would ge

That is not how that works. The right to keep data beyond when a user requests it's deletion is contingent on it being needed for ongoing business requirements like tax and other audit requirements, not for content. It's not possi

Shame but understandable. io_uring (like netlink) is essentially a completely new interface to kernel-land things so until security boundary stuff is sorted out this is probably the best move.

I haven't kept up with the pricing for the last decade, back when I was working with it was a fraction of the cost of comparable Ethernet. Maybe things have changed drastically though.

It's not for general use but if you build large infrastructure stuff IB can be a very interesting transport choice. Naturally you will only do this if you want to either use RDMA directly (via IB Verbs) or use protocols like IB SCSI RD

Yeah I ran it for years with no issues. I modified a Mellanox switch to use quieter fans and eventually switched to fibre SFPs so I could make longer cable runs (also twinax is bulky/heavy). Was absolutely epic to use my ZFS NAS at ess

The only think I am happy about all this AI hype is Infiniband is getting some love again. A lot of people using RoCE on Connect-X HBAs but still a lot of folk doing native IB. If HPC becomes more commonplace maybe we get better subnet mana

The main problem with the AWS ecosystem is you generally need to code against it directly. Much of the OSS stuff is designed to have a much more drop-in feeling, especially if you are going with stuff like Spring Cloud etc to abstract over

Handing Terraform to developers has it's own host of issues. A major benefit of k8s that is usually massively overlooked is it's RBAC system and specifically how nice a namespace per team or per service model can be. It's pro

Denying OSS contributions from Russian companies/individuals is absurd. Many don't support the war and if anything are victims of it but even if they did it doesn't make their code bad by default. If the patch is good the pat

Yeah that is certainly possible. We could have ended up in a world where GitHub was actually MercurialHub and git probably would have remained the VCS of the kernel and probably many C and C++ projects as a result but much of FOSS (especial

That is actually my entire point. Easier alternatives to git already exist. However for a confluence of other factors (network effects/inertia, etc) git remains dominant. All this means is git isn't "too hard". It's

by jpgvm 3y ago
Good point, edited to say "easier" as git is very simple indeed.

by jpgvm 3y ago
If git was simply too hard an easier (probably centralised) alternative would have taken over by now. Ergo git may be hard to it's clearly not hard enough for market forces to displace it.

Jim Keller saved AMD and chances are his company Tenstorrent will end up being a big dog in AI. AMD should buy his startup in an all-stock deal given the lofty AMD valuation. Bring the maestro back, win the AI generation of chips.

At the very least there are a) more active keys b) those keys are available on keyservers and c) it's being used by the major packages in the ecosystem correctly. i.e Spring, Jackson, Quarkus, Logback, Apache-sphere, Google-sphere, etc

I guess that really depends on what their analysis was. If their analysis says something along the lines of "if we don't optimise for climate we all die" then I think it becomes pretty obvious what you optimise for. However w

However both are fabless design companies. By "manufacturing" in the US they don't mean building their own fabs etc but rather contracting with a US based company vs Chinese, South Korean or Taiwanese.
