You can (allow) access to GPU for cuda applications in docker containers, so I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible to get video acceleration to work normally

Some of the challenger banking apps are mobile only which might be a use-case. Ideally I'd like to see them offer a desktop/responsive web app though

What implication does this have for AI workloads - the computation intensity would be similar? (Assuming a popular service saturating the machines) I see some other comments mentioning ssd wear which I don't think would apply to AI stu

I've not looked deeply tbh (see caveat this is scrappy/minimum viable to facilitate what I was actually trying to do which is browse my photography by content) I'm reasonably sure that the bulk of that is the cuda libs though

Internalising what's a reasonable business expense compared to personal expenses is a skill I feel I've only fairly recently developed. It's super important to consider the human cost and opportunity cost of each decision, an

+1 to this, I had one job where lunch was provided and it very much brought people together, particularly across team boundaries / job levels, and often "tricked" you into having pseudo meetings over lunch. I find that still

I made a similar (less features) docker based thing https://github.com/mnahkies/ephemeral-postgres - in my instance I was just sick of creating users/databases with the right names when hopping between projects. I

If nothing else, that posts mention of https://www.keycloakify.dev/ is very handy - looks like a great alternative to the standard approach!

I had to install Google Chrome on my (Mac) work laptop recently in order for the expo/react native debugger to work. Every time I open it I get a nag prompt to use it as the default (instead of Firefox) I tried editing the raw config f

I have a similar issue with my dell xps - if I leave it suspended with being plugged in for a few days the battery drains, but what is more frustrating is plugging in to charge from that state seems to boot to a bios screen and turn it into

Added IE support to a web application that relied on web SQL by pollyfilling sqlite using asm.js. It was pretty slow, but it gave us enough breathing room to eventually replace web SQL with a local storage based implementation. That was als

The scenario you present in the parent comment has echoes of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America... . - if I recall correctly they did "clean room" re-implementations of the same publi

I often treasure the ~7:30-9:30 chunk of my day when WFH because of this tendency. It's basically guaranteed focus time and always feels a pity to lose it commuting on the days I go to the office

What's the story with passkeys and broken/lost devices? I'm a bit out of touch here, and I assume adding support to password managers like bitwardon mitigates this risk similar to using them to store MFA seeds, or apps like a

Yeah it's hard. For http API design I like to start with an openapi spec then generate as much of the server and client library implementation from this as possible. The spec gives a language/implementation agnostic way to describ

It's not automatically creating them AFAIK, but alloydb has an index suggestion tool https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/use-index-advisor Generally this seems like a nice balance to me - watch real queries

Energy performance certificates are open though https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/ which includes address and, in some cases UPRN (unique property reference number) It's also a pretty interesting dataset to explore

I've always had a soft spot for influxdb after using it for a self hosted datadog/newrelic etc solution many (6+) years ago with great success. Still use it in conjunction with telegraf and grafana for personal project monitoring,

We were fortunate enough to have unlimited hours, but living remotely enough to not get broadband until ~2010. Fond memories of downloading Linux Isos and the like from 10pm-7am over the course of weeks/months trying not to tie up the

They make it pretty clear that the extensions are optional. Providing support for installing a diverse set of extensions seems fine to me - everyone has different use cases

I think the period that a text was written does have a big impact on how digestible it is. Recently I've been reading William Gibsons sprawl trilogy and switching to that from things released in the past couple of years is jarring - th

Firejail can also be a useful option, though no good if you're on Mac https://firejail.wordpress.com/ Uses the same Linux primitives as docker etc, but can be a bit more ergonomic for this use case

Are you / have you considered leveraging postgres' row level security for this (row filtering)? Feels like a natural fit for ensuring the right subset of data gets to the right users https://www.postgresql.org/docs

One thing I appreciate about sentry compared to datadog is the ability to configure hard caps on ingestion to control cost. AFAIK the mechanism is basically that the server starts rate limiting/rejecting requests and the client SDKs ar

This is a good explanation but thought it might additionally be useful to link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_e... as an example of creating a secure channel from an insecure one
