I don't know what geospatial features are needed, but otherwise time series databases are great for this use case. I especially like Clickhouse, it's generic but also a powerhouse that handles most things you throw at it, handles

Some countries have already sort-of banned single-use plastic bags (with exceptions where it makes sense). Where I live supermarkets now only have paper bags or sturdy multi-use bags. There will also be some EU wide legislation pretty soon.

Great high level explanation. Note: if you look into the details of how setting up namespaces and cgroups works you'll run away in horror. The APIs are very iteratively evolved piecework, not really a coherent(ly designed) abstraction.

If old.reddit didn't still have a very sizeable user base they definitely would have killed it by now, so you are not alone.

They don't bother to mention it, but this is actually to comply with the the new EU AI act. > Providers will also have to ensure that AI-generated content is identifiable. Besides, AI-generated text published with the purpose to inf

There were lots of rumors that Apple was working on both AR glasses and VR goggles, but had to focus on the latter because the tech just isn't there to do glasses right.

So what you are offering here is essentially a small UX improvement over sharing a flake with a devshell in a Git repo? I'm the first to admit that nix is way too cumbersome to use, but this alone doesn't seem like enough value ad

There is nothing new or dystopian about this, a tradeoff between capital expenditure and labour has existed since ... forever. Do I buy expensive tool X or get buy with cheap ones that make the work take longer or be less precise? Do I buy

Even if Airbus could suddenly double capacity over night, a duopoly already is quite bad for consumers (aka airlines). They certainly don't want to create a monopoly.

You can't commit locally with either CVS or SVN, if I remember correctly? If the premise is "I can work on this locally", then you could do this since forever by just having a local directory...

I use NixOS, both on servers and on my machines, but it solves a completely orthogonal problem. Kubernetes manages a cluster, NixOS manages a single machine.

I know it's fashionable to hate on Kubernetes these days, and it is overly complex and has plenty problems. But what other solution allows you to: * declarative define your infrastructure * gives you load balancing, automatic recovery

This seems pretty logical to me. If we assume that distribution of professions scales linearly with population size, a 2x increase in population means there will be twice as many researchers and inventors that can dedicate their life to fin

Clicking with the borrow checker is a big hurdle for many, but once it clicks and you adjust your design patterns to be compatible with the language it really is a secondary concern. I very rarely run into borrow check errors, and if I do t

The only way this is useful in the context of code is if: * The LLMs have a sufficient "understanding" of the request and of how to write code to fulfill the request * Have a way to validate the suggestion by actually executing th

Just wait for people to stop using SO, at which point the LLMs won't have a high quality training set for new questions, so you won't get good answers from the LLMs anymore...

I'm willing to bet that they are avoiding artistic images on purpose to not get any heat from artists feeling ripped off, which did happen previously.

So, they just announced StableCascade. Wouldn't this v3 supersede the StableCascade work? Did they announce it because a team had been working on it and they wanted to push it out to not just lose it as an internal project, or are ther

Nginx is still evolving a lot though. Eg: http3 support was stabilized with 1.25.1 , which came out June 2023.

This particular legislation gives relatively broad enforcement power to the EU commission. IANAL, but it's possible, and in my primitive understanding quite likely, that they can take action without additional legislation because it&#x

You got some hints for how/where to get that ASN and /40? When I looked into this I only found relatively expensive options.

I feel like this would have been a lot more impactful a year ago, when the Twitter drama was in full swing. Feedback: the homepage looks more like a tech product pitch site, and the announcement post also doesn't look very polished. I

Yep, Google/openai has become pretty common place in remote interviews. The funny thing is, I ask them to say say "I don't know" rather than the above, but they still do it... You can work around it by picking a difficul

I really like CUE, but for most use cases I have I would want to embed it in an application, and Go is the only language with support. For it to gain more adoption it really needs a rewrite in a low-level language (C/Rust), so it can b

Yeah I set the animations to zero, the latency is still quite a bit higher. One of the main reasons I use neovim is because everything feels so instant.
