If you wanted to work out how many people are buying flowers at your shop, rather than putting up a poster asking customers to mail in their receipts after every purchase you’d look at the anonymous sales data. Opt in is renders the data st

Looking at [1], is there any reason why this couldn’t run in something like DynamoDB? I feel like the operations required would fit https://github.com/k3s-io/kine/blob/master/pkg/drivers/gener..

It’s not just companies though, it’s people. Lower costs win, factoring in quality which is just another way of saying “how many replacements of this cheap thing do I need before it’s with buying this expensive thing”.

I would think that either it stores a volume of data that would make it impossible to use… or it it doesn’t. And if it isn’t impossible to use then I wouldn’t post about how it is.

I guess that’s my question: is it? Does that inference pass any kind of smell test with basically any non-toy repo?

Many people have mentioned that this is incorrect, but I wanted to ask why you thought this, and why you thought it so confidently? The Linux kernel repo contains 1.1 million commits and 80k files on master. That would mean a naive total of

Yeah, this is definitely something I want to improve on. The project is used a lot more than I originally expected, so documentation is a bit scarce. t/o is timeouts by the way

America doesn’t have any implicit caste system, racism or “wounds”? A huge percentage of the population would disagree with you. People still fly the confederate flag.

A lot of comments on this topic seem at odds with reality. If you accept that it takes a lot of effort to produce what Red Hat produces and you accept that you cannot buy food with a list of your open source contributions, then the people

Why would I expect pressing the fork button would suddenly enable redundant and, in aggregare, expensive cronjobs? Most people fork to make a pull request and then never delete the fork after. Why are any scheduled actions required for that
