Mongo will scale out horizontally better than Postgres. But most people don’t need that, and there are other alternatives to Mongo that will also scale in this way.

SQLite isn’t really comparable to Oracle or SQL Server though. It’s an embedded database. Probably you meant Postgres there too?

That sounds awfully fragile to me. Any kind of bump to the case could cause problems?

Is it normal in Germany to still be cancelling large events due to Covid? That certainly isn't the case in the UK and hasn't been for some time.

Surely it can know that. Don’t ram chips identify with vendor / serial number etc?

That should be the headline here surely.

It’s a standard hacker news BS generalisation, presenting something with some basis in truth as universally true.

I’m really hoping the new AMD cards are good because I think I’m done with Nvidia.

I still don’t know why we have them. It seems to make elections even more about personalities and individuals than politics. It’s amazing how many people when presented with a list of policies will vote one way, but when presented with a li

I think they’re trying to move to a browser / cloud model, presumably so that they can charge more for less.

It kinda makes me sad. It’s great that companies want to improve D&I but, assuming everything in that article is true, they’re making a hash of it. They’ve forgotten Goodhart’s law, and as such they’ve create a metric everyone is trying

That sounds like a troll, and if it is, it’s a good one because it made me laugh.

I think you’re overestimating the ability of having a FAANG on your CV. It might help you to get an interview, that’s kinda all. Unless you’re were an early employee, in which case you’re probably going for co-founder roles anyway, that’s i

It encourages you to think you can use secondary indexes to make different types of query over the same data like SQL, which you mostly can’t.

I can’t comment on netlink but there does seem to be a lack of innovation in FreeBSD of late. Everything has to be done the same way Linux does it or there’s little adoption and at that point you might as well just use Linux. There has to

Google is pretty bad, and there’s no way I would buy any Google manufactured device (hunk of e-waste?) Your point is valid though, there are hundreds of other companies involved in this standard, many of them will make fantastic devices and

OpenID Connect seems like the current popular flavour. SAML seems to be increasingly considered legacy.

I don’t like your implication that ARM is the only way to do this. The Apple chips are fast and low power because they are good designs built on a very modern fabrication process. It’s perfectly possible to build such chips with other desig

That also works for Dublin believe it or not.

It’s pretty easy to host your own Nitter instance too (I do) if you want to avoid the rate limiter errors.

Yeah, you missed it. GitHub ripping off everyone’s code to build copilot has caused a small (not as big as it should have been imho) exodus of open source projects to Gitlab and others. I still don’t see how it’s a good idea to import unkno

Copilot adds value to Gitlab if that’s what you mean.

That’s roughly equivalent to my aging Nvidia 970, I think and that’s also mostly fine. The price of new cards is still ridiculous afaict.

I’ll pass. Needs to be 1/4 of that to be worth considering. You can have a whole PC for less.

I’ve still managed to do it, when I hit a poudriere bug which resulted in it doing a zfs destroy on my root partition, but yeah generally it’s hard to lose things on zfs. What is it with OS manufacturers inventing clever file systems and th

APFS is that, no? That’s how Time Machine works.

Sending a memo telling staff how to write to you is a bit of a dick move. If my boss did that I’d be keeping a closer eye on LinkedIn.

And nobody in the U.K. would say ‘period’ when they mean ‘full stop’.
