It is very weird. 6 months ago I generated some documentation for a service that was largely undocumented. When it was done my only thought was "who is this for?" Is any one going to actually read this or are they just going to as

Search traffic is nose diving due to LLM use. The fundamental calculus with google is you install GA and it helps your SEO has changed and google is riding out what will eventually wither as people start to reevaluate the trade off.

I remember about 10 years ago I switched our billing / subscription code from paypal to braintree. Braintree was better than paypal but that wasnt saying much. Then paypal bought Braintree and started fucking around with it, asking for

The reason is because while you want to use the low end the general public does not understand that USB-C is the connector only and that various levels of power and data depend on the cable and the device at both ends. If you sell a 10 por

I make this comparison a lot and a lot of devs don't like it. I am sure I could make a decent industrial PLC tech, same shit, different tools.

Yeah the last decade of Nuclear work is the ONE thing that they have been successful at wrt to project planning. Hopefully that expertise is well placed to execute on these other projects.

I don't want my cache to silently fail. Clustering redis is not that hard even if you do it manually and I have only had to do it once. I never use redis persistence and have a max size set with LRU or whatever the application requires

I stopped using memcached a decade a go in favour of Redis and now use valkey. Never felt the need to go back to memcached except when a legacy dependency needed it.

The problem is that the agents can not be trusted to do things so at the end of the day you wade through loads of crap and they cant solve your problem because they usually only have the same powers you do. Great if grandma doesnt know how

For sure, I was thinking consumer desktop motherboards. Even server boards often have their SFP in daughter boards specific to the chassis.

If you don't want the anime girl pay for the support, otherwise you get the anime jackal. Seems like a fair deal to me.

You are paying a fall guy to come in and gather data or implement something you want to do but don't have a ton of evidence for. That way if shit goes south you can blame them and if it succeeds you get the credit. Their entire job is

Yeah, the AUR is basically build scripts for github repos or a link to someones pre-built binary. It suffers from all the same problems that the underlying infrastructure suffers from. You could very easily argue that since github/npm&

SQLA async is a bit of a struggle with pgbouncer. I had to disable application pooling as it was causing read only transactions I could couldnt pin down the cause.

by tempest_ 4mo ago
We use logical replication and a pause / swap in pgbouncer for ~5s of paused (but not failed) writes. This is for DBs that are ~1-1.5TB but doesnt have a huge amount of churn/qps Effectively what is described here https:/&#x

I had the opposite thought. Being a generalist was very useful to me 5 years ago. Now AI models have made everyone a generalist. That wide but not terribly deep skillset was immediately devalued by the AI models. You can argue that the mode

I have not tried the Gemini CLI in a few months but when I did it was a shit show. Google makes it very hard to use their shit and it was full of bugs. Anthropic's current run is based entirely around Claude Code in this space and the

For most CRUD apps running in docker its enough to just tell the "agent" to use podman.
