Yea this has been happening on all of my family’s MacBooks. Spotlight indexing just hammers the CPU, and also seems to be doing nothing at all.

One of the persistent challenges I run into in this area, is that any sort of up front filtering/routing requires you to know in advanced which logs are going to be important when an issue happens. Which is sort of impossible. And nobo

Wow awesome. I read the article that inspired this yesterday and thought to myself, "wow, a library of Ractor-safe data structures would be awesome" (and even left a comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43

No better time than the present to establish a better precedent. Though more realistically, nobody needs to be going to jail in either case - but if there are zero consequences for anyone involved well, that's telling for a leader who

I was using next.js when they switched from the pages router to app router. I ended up just abandoning the project, the app router experience was that bad, and haven't really been keen on picking up next.js since then. It's always

by rco8786 2y ago
Not really. Next.js is still React. It's more like a wrapper/sidecar/framework around React that brings in some opinions on how to build apps and provides some niceties if you buy in.

Yes exactly. Not sure why either. But laws do not apply to him, they never have, and they never will. He knows that, too.

I got DoSed by ClaudeBot (Anthropic) just last week. Hitting a website I manage 700,000 times in one month and tripping our bandwidth limit with our hosting provider. What a PITA to have to investigate that, figure it out, block the user ag

Great read, always appreciate a deeper dive like this. A library of production-ready Ractor-safe data structures would probably get rid of a big roadblock folks are have with adopting them.

Doing anything based on income adds a huge layer of complexity to the system. I think that's a bit of perfect being the enemy of good, personally. And while you're right about the charge itself being regressive in nature, the real

Yea I believe that. In my state (Georgia) the randomization rules only came about after the '08 crash. I come from a family of appraisers, oddly enough, so I have an unusual amount of insight into the industry for a simple software eng

> somehow the appraisal was always right at the offer price or ~5-7k above. Yes, this is pretty normal. Contrary to popular belief, appraisers don't have any sort of special data or processes that allow them to determine the exact v

by rco8786 2y ago
At least in my state there is no incentive for appraisers to do this. 99% of appraisals get assigned to random appraisers. There is no such thing as “repeat business”, at least within the realm of your typical home sale where the buyer is f

Relative to EVs it’s not. But relative to ICE engines from 50 years ago it’s great. EVs are obviously going to take over ICE, my only point is that we shouldn’t discount all the work and ingenuity that went into ICE engines simply because a

It’s hard to imagine it not. And also kudos and crazy respect for all the thousands of engineers that poured their work into making combustion engines as efficient and reliable as they are. A true marvel of humanity, and something to be res

You’re not wrong in the literal sense. But the “inside baseball” of that question is just that it’s a prompt to talk about how you would horizontally scale a system should the need arise. It’s not a prompt to start questioning whether 10mm

by rco8786 2y ago
Ah yea the old “web scale” phase. I think everyone’s more or less accepted that very, very few startup-level (or even SMB-level) workloads need more scalability then Postgres/mysql gives. My favorite example is that Twitter used mysql

Sorry that is just objectively untrue. Unless you’re confusing “the left” as “the government”, somehow.
