Yes, which is why in 2025 it is a good idea to use Rust with python bindings for your performance sensitive code. A lot of the C code used in python is calling out to old, battle tested and niche libraries so it is unlikely that someone is

The issue is that the 10k fridge is not actually any better. The "luxury" appliances can be double that and are still shit.

I was more commenting on the Rust community being ready to make breaking changes. Personally while I think Rust is a decent language it would not have caught on with younger devs if C/C++ didn't have such a shitty devex that is st

Which makes sense because in 2025 people have grown tired of lack of improvement so that some esoteric ass compiler from the 90s still works or someones 30 year old bash script still functions. Pros and Cons either way for better or worse d

It is way more than that though. It offloads things like - Power Usage - Colo Costs - Networking (a big one) - Storage (SSD wear / HDD pools) - etc It is a long list but what doesnt allow you do it make trade offs like spending way les

The cloud has made people forget how far you can get with a single machine. Hosting staging envs in pricey cloud envs seems crazy to me but I understand why you would want to because modern clouds can have a lot of moving parts.

Onlyfans models already paying poverty wages for people to pretend to be them in chat. Presumably this will just be part of that offering.

I don't understand how this changes anything? How would they know now? These examples are silly, most people are not selling a car privately all the time and they can handle any reporting or changes when you transfer the ownership.

This is my experience as well. We have 42u racks with 8 machines in them because we cant get more power circuits to the rack.

The other thing the cloud does not let you do is make trade offs. Sometimes you can afford not to have triple redundant 1000GB network or a simple single machine with raid may have acceptable down time.

Postgres doesnt have great compression. Depending on your database you can reduce the size by 50% sometimes with high zstd zfs configurations. No lunch is free though. Aside from the obvious cpu cycles spent compressing configuring zfs &#x2

We are a python shop and use WeasyPrint. It works well for invoice type things. I suppose it depends on how much web dev experience is on hand.

Sure and that is why you can call it 2.5.<whatever> They just don't want to be pinned down because the shifting sands are useful for the time when the LLM starts to get injected with ads or paid influence.

They pretty much are doing the bare minimum in the gaming space already. It is a false dichotomy. They can spend the bare minimum to stay in the game card market while fabing AI cards. At this point that is just an insurance premium.

Have you seen the latest generation of Nvidia gaming cards? They are increasingly looking like an after thought.

ahah and pricey power wise. Currently the cloud providers are dumping second gen xeon scalables and those things are pigs when it comes to power use. Sound wise its like someone running a hair dryer at full speed all the time and it can be

We run a docker registry on prem as a pull through cache (none of our containers are stored in there) to keep the rate limit reasonable. It is pretty easy to just run the basic registry for this purpose. We have a similar setup for NPM and

I share your concern but I have saved so much time with uv already that I figure ill ride it till the VC enshitification kills the host. Hopefully at the point the community is centralized enough to move in one direction.
