The only statement I'm making about their system is that it appears to be poorly designed, as evident by their poor uptime. The rest is just visible details about what data is involved in performing the task at hand, agnostic to the im

That "scheduling" is just a git hook and a message queue, maybe with some database updates in between with very clear boundaries that make sharding easy to reason about, assuming they have a sane architecture (they evidently don

Zitron is a hack who sells anger to people who don't know any better. Just because he's right about some things doesn't mean you should give him the time of day.

Sure, but you can still use a Titan T3 or recent Yubikey model on an iPhone. If I had the threat model to justify it, I would not set up the passkey in Apple's infrastructure. It is too bad they ignore that though. That's really d

One recommendation: do not let the LLM write your README for you. It can write other docs (though IME they still suck at it), but your README needs to be focused and easily digestible by a human glancing at the project. LLMs have no concept

No, I think the technology fundamentally is not there and a decade away even with stronger financial incentives (of which there are already plenty). Between range, charge times, and worst of all: weight. A huge percentage of loads are opera

I don't think electric trucks are actually ready for the realities of long haul trucking, especially in a country as expansive as the US.

Modern hardware mostly benefits from the optimizations made for older hardware too, so I'm not really sure what your point is.

For a relatively low-traffic site like Lobster's, yeah I'm not surprised they don't need anything crazy. SQLite is really efficient and modern hardware is really fast.

And more power to you. I find the SQLite database of plain-text to be a worthwhile tradeoff to grow past the limitations of plain markdown files.

Honestly, using AI helps me get more done in a day because I can delegate some decision making to it, usually inconsequential stuff.

I've found it lacking, especially with kinda buggy interaction with the vim keybindings. Obsidian's data model, a huge selling point to some, really hinders it too. Logseq's new db format let's you treat any block as a p

I really like the art direction of the new GitS adaptation (I hope this retro style gets used more), but yeah it's completely different in tone from the '95 adaptation and most of what followed. I've enjoyed it so far.

That's true to a point, but Amazon is finding out the hard way that eventually the well of people willing to put up with bullshit runs dry and it becomes much harder to get actually good talent or workers. Meta needs to be careful IMO.

Not that I don't agree, but PKI relies on a trusted authority which can be compromised. If you're running a trustless system, basically any party can be compromised but the blast radius is limited to just the compromised infrastru

Companies are also much more inclined to spend money to solve a problem while hobbyists are much more likely to get enjoyment out of the process of building. I'm firmly in the latter category, having built a rather robust ZFS array o

I feel like submodules could be a lot easier to work with if the git command made it easy to update all submodules in one go based on branch head for the submodule.
